Última National policy objectives and local management results: the economic, social and environmental performances of the shellfish farming institutions in the Mont-Saint-Michel Bay ArchiMer Mongruel, Remi; Perez, Jose. This paper examines the discrepancies between national policy objectives for the development of shellfish farming in France and the results of this policy at the local level. National legislation is claimed to favour a ‘people-oriented’ policy and the sustainable use of marine coastal resources. In practice, stakeholders implement this policy under local institutional arrangements. A case study in the Mont-Saint-Michel Bay compares the economic, social and environmental performances of both mussel and oyster industries. Local management arrangements have avoided overexploitation. Conversely, performances in terms of rent distribution, job retention and contribution to public budgets are inconsistent with national objectives. This suggests that the...

Ano: 2012 URL: http://archimer.ifremer.fr/doc/00023/13461/15743.pdf Interests and goals in the agricultural higher education system of Hungary – a methodological approach AgEcon Hajdu, Istvanne; Lakner, Zoltan. In recent decades the Hungarian intelligentsia, both political and governmental, emphasised the importance of higher education in socio-economic modernisation. At the same time, after nearly twenty years of system-transition we have to see that the ambitious goals of reforms in many cases have been turned into their opposite. This paper analyses the key actors and their strategies in the higher education system, highlighting the most important obstacles to development based on a multi-actor strategy model, based on institutional economy and principle-agent theory. The results show considerable divergence in force and interest-structure of different actors. As a consequence of relationship of forces it has been shown that, without steadfast governmental...

Ano: 2009 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/52200 Australasian environmental economics: contributions, conflicts and ‘cop-outs’ AgEcon Bennett, Jeffrey W.. Australian and New Zealand environmental economists have played a significant role in the development of concepts and their application across three fields within their subdiscipline: non-market valuation, institutional economics and bioeconomic modelling. These contributions have been spurred on by debates within and outside the discipline. Much of the controversy has centred on the validity of valuations generated through the application of stated preference methods such as contingent valuation. Suggestions to overcome some shortcomings in the work of environmental economists include the commissioning of a sequence of non-market valuation studies to fill existing gaps to improve the potential for benefit transfer.

Ano: 2005 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/118501 Small forests, big ambitions and a hard reality - Community Forestry in Nepal AgEcon Rai, Chandra; Bigsby, Hugh R.; MacDonald, Ian. Community forestry in Nepal is intended to reduce poverty by sustainable management of forests. Timber is one of the most high-value forest products, especially in the case of Sal (Shorea robusta) forests in the Terai region of Nepal. Despite having several advantages, including high value forests on fertile land, connection with transportation networks, and being close to regional markets, community forests in the Terai region produce little or no timber from their Sal forests. This research looks at what is affecting the production of Sal timber from community forests. Three aspects of community forest user groups (CFUG) are examined using institutional economics, transaction cost economics and micro-economics. First, the scale of CFUG operations is...

Ano: 2010 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/96833 Economic Reform and Openness in China: China's Development Policies in the Last 30 Years AgEcon Tisdell, Clement A.. This article adopts the point of view that China’s development policies can only be appreciated if they are considered by applying perspectives from institutional economics. This requires attention to be given to the historical, political and cultural context in which its economic development has occurred. Therefore, this article gives attention to the political events leading up to China’s decision in 1978 to begin its economic reforms and the way in which Deng Xiaoping crafted its new development path. It also discusses the subsequent extension of Deng’s development policies by more recent leaders of the Chinese Communist Party. Indicators of China’s economic progress (including its increasing economic openness) since 1978 are given, and its emerging...

Ano: 2009 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/90624 Institutional and Economic Dynamics of Water Users Cooperative (WUC) Societies in Cauvery Basin of Karnataka AgEcon Rohith, B.K.; Chandrakanth, Mysore G.. The economic and institutional dimensions of water users cooperative (WUC) societies have been analyzed with regards to performance, membership and transaction costs in forming organization in the Cauvery basin of Karnataka. Field data have been collected from presidents and members of 30 WUC societies in Tirumakudalu Narasipura taluk of Mysore, Karnataka. Using cluster analysis, these have been grouped into (i) well performing, (ii) moderately performing, and (iii) poorly performing WUC societies. To understand institutional and economic dimensions, the selected WUC societies have been grouped based on command area, membership and conjunctive use of water. The odds ratio determined using logit model has indicated that for every one chance of not willing...

Ano: 2011 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/118231 Co-regulation and voluntarism in the provision of food safety: lessons from institutional economics AgEcon Hussain, Salman. Traditional regulation in the food safety domain has been in the form of mandatory, inflexible food safety controls that are applied to firms. There has been a trend away from this regulatory paradigm towards more co-regulation and self-regulation by industry. This paper investigates the potential for systemic failure in the provision of safe food that might arise as a consequence of this new regulatory paradigm. These systemic failures occur owing to the fact that the food safety outcome depends on the behaviour of the three sets of agents (firms, consumers and the regulator). These populations of agents have generally been treated in the literature as homogeneous in terms of their behaviour and strategies. Further, the actions taken by any one agent are...

Ano: 2006 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/45996 Commodity Exchange and Institutional Changes: Case of Iranian Agricultural Commodity Exchange AgEcon Soltanpour, Yazdan. In this study, an attempt is to figure out the institutional changes that initiate the agricultural commodity exchange (ACE). To assess the affecting factors, new institutional economics approach has been chosen. The framework consisting of four levels of social analysis introduced by Oliver E. Williamson is used to analyze the social environment, institutional rules, institutional arrangements and finally the agency level economics (Neo-classical economics). Regarding this framework, the institutional changes that have initiated the Iranian ACE is analyzed and its constraints to further improvement are discussed.

Ano: 2010 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/90825 VOLUNTARY CERTIFICATION SCHEMES AND LEGAL MINIMUM STANDARDS AgEcon Herzfeld, Thomas; Jongeneel, Roelof A.. EU farmers face increasing requests to comply with legal as well as private agribusiness and retail standards. Both requests potentially raise farmer’s administrative burden. This paper discusses the potential synergies between cross-compliance and third-party certification schemes. In selected aspects cross-compliance and several certification schemes ask similar measures. However, both regulatory approaches differ considerably in other areas. The heterogeneous nature of the various certification schemes in place prevent a general conclusion. As a tendency systemic standards like organic agriculture provide the largest overlap with cross-compliance. Certificates of origin, on the opposite side, have no relation with cross-compliance.

Ano: 2011 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/114728 Contract theory and agricultural policy analysis: a discussion and survey of recent developments AgEcon Wu, Steven Y.. This paper surveys some recent developments in contract theory and illustrates how this theory might be useful for conceptualising policy issues related to vertical coordination and contracting in the agro-food industry. The article begins by surveying contract theory to identify key economic distortions that can potentially justify government involvement. Next, the general ingredients of agricultural contracts that are most likely to create inefficiencies are discussed. Finally, controversial aspects of real-world agricultural contracts are highlighted and lessons from the theory are used to determine whether government intervention is justified. Actual legislation that has been proposed in the USA is analysed where appropriate and topics that await...

Ano: 2006 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/116979 The Impact of Integration Strategies on Food Business Firm Value AgEcon Dorsey, Sarah; Boland, Michael A.. The objective of this study is to analyze whether a discount or premium exists for coordination strategies in food processing, wholesale grocery, retail supermarkets, and restaurants. Significant premiums are found for food processor and restaurant vertical integration or diversification strategies. Significant discounts are found for food wholesaler and retail supermarket integration or diversification strategies. Food processors are found to be integrating toward retail supermarkets during this time period.

Ano: 2009 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/56642 Agency Theory Issues in the Food Processing Industry AgEcon Boland, Michael A.; Golden, Bill B.; Tsoodle, Leah J.. The objective is to identify significant determinants of performance for food processing firms over the 1992 to 2003 time period, focusing particularly on the issue of family control. Variables measuring firm effects such as asset size, governance, income distribution, and risk are used to explain return on equity. This study builds upon previous research by including a measure of income distribution in the food processing industry. Governance variables are found to be significant determinants of return on equity. The results found no evidence of agency problems in family-controlled firms during this time period.

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/47203 Identifying obstacles to the design and implementation of payment schemes for ecosystem services provided through farm trees AgEcon Schleyer, Christian; Plieninger, Tobias. An important determinant of ecosystem services provision from European farmland is the amount and spatial arrangement of trees, shrubs, and woodlands that are integrated into the respective land use systems. Farm trees are considered ‘keystone structures’ of agroecosystems because of their disproportionally large ecological value (relative to their low abundance), but are threatened by agricultural intensification, land abandonment, and urbanization. While the preservation of farm trees is a component of several command-and control approaches and while numerous payment schemes for ecosystem services (PES schemes) provided through agricultural practices do in general exist, there are few incentive-based policies that specifically target the conservation of...

Ano: 2011 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/115992 Organic Food and Farming: Between Market Subordination and Retailer Growth Prospects AgEcon Kledal, Paul Rye. The paper is based on research conducted for DARCOF II (Danish Research Centre for Organic Farming, www.darcof.dk). The aim of the research project is to analyze the future development of the Danish organic food sector through focusing on two agro-commodities: vegetables and pork. Emphasis is placed on identification of economic forces within the supply chains. The main conclusions of the paper - being the results from the organic vegetable chain are that the rules and regulations, and the development of alternative transaction processes in organic food and farming have so far been founded on social counter reactions to the mechanisms of a free market economy that result in the marginalization of farmers, animals welfare and the environment.

Ano: 2005 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/24218 Local institutions and Natural Resource Management AgEcon Snell, Margaret; Bell, Kathleen P.; Leahy, Jessica. As researchers and policy-makers confront the challenges of and opportunities for improving natural resource management, increasing attention is being given to the dynamics of coupled natural-human systems. Interdisciplinary study of these coupled systems has generated considerable research and management innovations. Among these are more intensive research of the emergence and behavior of local institutions and consideration of the potential for voluntary and/or collaborative approaches to supplement conventional natural resource policy and management approaches. Front and center in this line of research are studies of local institutional responses to common pool resource management issues. Over time, this productive line of research is encouraging...

Ano: 2010 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/61880 GOVERNING STRUCTURAL CHANGE AND EXTERNALITIES IN AGRICULTURE: TOWARD A NORMATIVE INSTITUTIONAL ECONOMICS OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT AgEcon Petrick, Martin. The paper aims at a conceptual contribution to the normative economic analysis of rural de-velopment (RD) policies. RD is regarded as a problem of interaction between individuals; (lacking) structural change or the (missing) integration of externalities are therefore recon-structed as coordination rather than allocation problems. A social dilemma is taken as the paradigmatic core of normative institutional economics: how can potential gains from coop-eration be realised by way of institutional policy? Starting from a critique of the hitherto dominating welfare economics conception, three principles for institutional policy are de-rived: (1) the realisation of gains from cooperation as the normative, regulative idea, (2) in-centive-compatible...

Ano: 2004 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/14878 Water rights: a comparison of the impacts of urban and irrigation reforms in Australia AgEcon Crase, Lin; Dollery, Brian. Although there has been a policy thrust towards making all Australians more cognisant of the relative scarcity of water resources, the approach adopted for urban dwellers differs markedly from that applied to irrigators. These differences are examined from a property-rights perspective focussing primarily on the institutional hierarchies in the Victorian water sector. The analysis reveals significant attenuation of urban dwellers’ rights, presumably on the basis of the information deficiencies that circumscribe urban water use. Alternative policy options are then proposed, which might alleviate some of these information deficiencies and simultaneously address the efficiency losses that attend the present arrangements.

Ano: 2006 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/116975 APPLICATIONS OF SOCIAL CAPITAL THEORY AgEcon Schmid, A. Allan; Robison, Lindon J.. Experiments and studies were conducted to investigate the role of social capital. Social capital (relationship to others) is a productive asset which is a substitute for and complement to other productive assets. The productivity of social capital leads to the expectation that firms and individuals invest in relationships. Data were collected to answer the following questions: Does the identity (relationship) of trading partners affect selling and buying prices; the acceptance of catastrophic risk; the choice of share or cash leases in agriculture; loan approval; and the banks investment to retain customers? The evidence is in the affirmative. Tipo: Journal Article Palavras-chave: Behavioral economics; Institutional economics; Social capital; Institutional and Behavioral Economics.
