FACTORS INFLUENCING ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION IN CARIBBEAN AND LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ligeon,   Carel; Gregorowicz,   Philip; Jolly,   Curtis M.
Alcohol consumption is considered an important social activity but a major health risk in Latin American and Caribbean countries (LAC). Alcohol consumption net benefits are doubtful and the factors influencing alcohol consumption in the LAC countries are not well documented. In this study, we use secondary data and Ordinary Least Squares Regression models to evaluate the factors influencing alcohol consumption in LAC countries. The factors that significantly affect alcohol consumption are: alcohol imports, alcohol exports, alcohol production, consumer price index, real GDP per capita, urban population, number of television sets available to the household, and whether the person is from the Caribbean or not. A closer look at the factors indicates that a 1.0...

EVALUATION OF THE POSSIBLE THREAT OF NAFTA ON U.S. CATFISH INDUSTRY USING A TRADITIONAL IMPORT DEMAND FUNCTION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ligeon,   Carel; Jolly,   Curtis M.; Jackson,   John D.
The effects of increased exports from NAFTA member countries on the U.S. domestic catfish industry were evaluated. Results showed that the quantity of catfish imported will fall if the domestic price of catfish falls relative to the import price. Past imports have no effect on present imports. The income elasticity was negative indicating that imported catfish may be an inferior good. Doubling present levels of imports from NAFTA member countries is not a threat to the U.S. catfish industry.

Can Cooperative Movements Be Successful in Traditional Societies? The Case of Southern Senegal
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jolly,   Curtis M.
In spite of professional and political support for cooperatives in West Africa, their record of accomplishments is very spotty. Advocates of cooperatives have been blamed for not tailoring the movement to the needs, social practices, and orientations of traditional societies. In this paper, an attempt is made to show how indigenous groups can be organized to improve the coordination of traditional groups, local governments, financial institutions, and aid donors. Village cooperatives, called "Groupement Villageois," in southern Senegal were allowed to organize their own business affairs. Credit was provided to the cooperative group by the development agency. Cooperative activities were structured around cultural norms, village traditions, and production...

Environmental Perceptions and Behavioral Change of Hillside Farmers: The Case of Haiti
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bayard,   Budry; Jolly,   Curtis M.
Land degradation is one of the most serious problems facing resource-poor tropical hillside farmers. Studies examining determinants of farmers’ decisions to invest in land improvement technologies have focused on economic and financial factors, neglecting individuals’ perceptions and awareness of the problems and how they affect land use and behavioral change that enhance environmental sustainability. This study examines Haitian peasants’ environmental behavior structure using a structural equation modeling approach. Specifically, the study examines the effects of perceived susceptibility, seriousness, benefits, and barriers to change on attitude, and the causal effect of attitude on behavior. The influence of the level of resources extracted from the land...

Consequences of Biotechnology Policy for Competitiveness and Trade of Southern U.S. Agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jolly,   Curtis M.; Jefferson-Moore,   Kenrett Y.; Traxler,   Greg.
The effect of policy decisions on the competitiveness of genetically modified (GM) crops was examined.  The United States has been an early innovator in the development and use of biotechnology crops and has expanded its export market share of the three major GM crops: soybeans, cotton, and corn.  Cotton, soybeans, and corn are all grown in the southern states, but these states have an apparent comparative advantage only in the production of cotton, which may be strengthened with the adoption of genetically modified cotton.  The influence of biotechnology on the competitiveness of soybeans and corn for the southern states through the introduction of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is not clear but is probably negligible.

U.S. Import Demand for Tilapia from Selected FTAA Countries
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ligeon,   Carel; Bayard,   Budry; Clark,   Joy M.; Jolly,   Curtis M.
Seafood consumption in the U.S. has increased over the period 1990 to 2003.  A large percentage of the seafood consumed in the U.S. is imported. The most important seafood products imported to the U.S. are shrimp, Atlantic salmon, tilapia, catfish, crayfish, mussels and a mixture of mollusks.  In 2003, the U.S. imported 199 million pounds of tilapia and tilapia products, at a value of $241.2 million, a 38% increase from the previous year.  The seafood market has been considered an important foreign exchange earner for the Caribbean Common Market (CARICOM), and Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) member countries. Jamaica is the only CARICOM country that exports tilapia products from aquaculture sources to the U.S.  In 2003, Jamaica exported 39,950...

Autores: Ncube,   Ngqabutho; Bessler,   Patricia; Jolly,   Pauline E.; Tint,   Kyaw; Fogo,   Christopher; Binns,   Alvin; Jolly,   Curtis M.
A number of studies have detected high levels of pesticide residues in surface water and aquatic life in Jamaica and acute pesticide poisoning is believed to be widespread there. Despite efforts by the Jamaican government to create awareness of the dangers of pesticides and adopt safe a pesticide disposal method, many farmers still display poor pesticide handling and disposal practices. The objectives of this study were to 1) describe pesticide use by farmers in northwestern Jamaica including inappropriate methods in pesticides handling and disposal, and 2) determine whether farmers’ perception of the mode of bodily entry of pesticides affects their method of disposal. Farmers in Westmoreland, St. James and Hanover were surveyed using an...

Seafood Import Demand in the Caribbean Region
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nguyen,   Giap V.; Jolly,   Curtis M.
Cointegration analysis and an Error Correction Model are used to estimate aggregate seafood import demand functions for selected Caribbean countries.  The results show that seafood import demand is price elastic.  Exchange rate has a negative effect on seafood import quantity.  Income and tourist arrivals have positive impacts on seafood imports.  Seafood import negatively affects domestic fishery production.  Tariff and production support policies reduce seafood imports, and enhance domestic production.   Both policies increase producer surplus, but a tariff reduces consumer surplus, and a production expansion policy increases consumer surplus. A production expansion subsidy is a more appropriate policy instrument than a tariff for small open economies,...

Exchange Rates and Commodity Markets: Global Exports of Corn, Cotton, Poultry, and Soybeans
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Almarwani,   Abdul; Jolly,   Curtis M.; Thompson,   Henry.
The effects of exchange rates and risk on major commodity exporters are examined in markets constructed from the top five importers and top three exporters from 1961 to 2000. Depreciation typically stimulates exports but the impacts vary considerably. Exchange risk has virtually no negative impacts. Importer incomes raise exports for about half the exporters, and major competitor market shares affect about half the exporters.

Production risks in Bulgarian peanut production
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ligeon,   Carel; Jolly,   Curtis M.; Bencheva,   Nelly; Delikostadinov,   Stanko; Puppala,   Naveen.
As farmers in a transition economy search for new crop enterprises with a potential for income enhancement they are faced with increased risks in the process of resource allocation. It has been noted that biased estimation of production function estimates results from the lack of accountability of risks. Since peanut production in Bulgaria has increased at a varying rate since 1989 it is important that we examine the risks associated with input use. The data for this study were collected from farmers from 18 villages in the southern part of Bulgaria. A total of 205 farmers were surveyed for this study. Peanut yield in Bulgaria is positively related to the quantity of seed used, fungicide, manual labor,  investment  level  and mechanized  labor  used....

The Adoption and Management of Soil Conservation Practices in Haiti: The Case of Rock Walls
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bayard,   Budry; Jolly,   Curtis M.; Shannon,   Dennis A.
Farmers are usually reluctant to adopt measures to reduce the toll of soil erosion; and even when soil conservation structures are adopted, farmers fail to manage them. This study investigates factors that influence adoption and management of soil conservation structures in Fort-Jacques, Haiti. The results show that personal characteristics of farmers, institutional factors, such as local group membership, training in soil conservation, per capita income and size of farm influence soil conservation adoption in Forte-Jacques. Age, education, per capita household income, participation in local groups, the interaction of per capita household income and farmers’ age influence rock wall management.

Autores: Jolly,   Curtis M.; Bayard,   Budry; Ligeon,   Carel; Keefe,   Alison M.
The effects of globalization on smaller nation Caribbean states have not been thoroughly examined, and the trade performance of these states has not been evaluated since the WTO came into existence. In this paper, we report on a study that conducted a comparative analysis of selected Caribbean nation states with other countries at different stages of development to determine their levels of performance from 1990 to 1995, the period before the WTO began full operation, and the period 1996 to 2002, the period after globalization. The selected Caribbean countries were Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and Suriname. The measures for comparison are changes in GDP per capita, capital investment as a percentage of GDP, foreign direct...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jolly,   Curtis M.; Shannon,   Dennis A.; Bannister,   Michael; Flauretin,   Gardy; Dale,   John (Zach); Binns,   Alvin; Lindo,   Pauline.
Soil erosion and environmental degradation are serious problems facing food security in Haiti. In 1999, the annual soil loss due to erosion was estimated at 36 million m3 tons. The government of Haiti has been aware of these deteriorating conditions and has sought international assistance to reduce these problems. In 1993, the United States Agency for International Development implemented a soil conservation project and millions of dollars were spent on the encouragement of adoption of soil conservation measures; yet the problems of soil degradation is still menacing food security in Haiti. Hence the need to evaluate the impact of soil conservation in Haiti is important. A survey of 951 farmers, who adopted soil conservation techniques in Haiti, was...
