Última Africa’s game changers and the catalysts of social and system innovation Ecology and Society Swilling, Mark; Stellenbosch Centre for Complex Systems in Transition; Stellenbosch University; swilling@sun.ac.za. It is widely recognized that many African economies are being transformed by rapid economic growth driven largely by rising demand for the abundant natural resources scattered across the African continent. I critically review the mainstream game-changing dynamics driving this process, with special reference to a set of influential policy-oriented documents. This is followed by an analysis of less-recognized game-changing dynamics that have, in turn, been affected by the mainstream game-changing dynamics. These less-recognized game-changing dynamics include energy infrastructure challenges in a context of climate change, securing access to water, access to arable soils, slum urbanism, and food security responses. These mainstream and less-recognized... Tipo: Peer-Reviewed Insight Palavras-chave: African development; Social innovation; Structural transformation; Transdisciplinary research. Ano: 2016 Interactions between the Agricultural Sector and the HIV/AIDS Pandemic: Implications for Agricultural Policy AgEcon Jayne, Thomas S.; Villarreal, Marcela; Pingali, Prabhu L.; Hemrich, Gunter. This paper considers how the design of agricultural policies and programmes might be modified to better achieve policy objectives in the context of severe HIV epidemics and underscores the central role of agricultural policy in mitigating the spread and impacts of the epidemic. Based on projections of future demographic change in the hardest-hit countries of eastern and southern Africa, HIV/AIDS is likely to have the following effects on the agricultural sector: (1) increased rural inequality caused by disproportionately severe effects of AIDS on relatively poor households; (2) a reduction in household assets and wealth, leading to less capital-intensive cropping systems for severely affected communities and households; and (3) problems in transferring...

Ano: 2004 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/54046 Dynamics of Structural Transformation: An Empirical Characterization in the Case of China, Malaysia, and Ghana AgEcon Badibanga, Thaddee Mutumba; Diao, Xinshen; Roe, Terry L.; Somwaru, Agapi. The paper develops a metric of structural transformation that can account for the production of new varieties of goods embodying advancements in technological know-how and design. Our measure captures the dynamics of an economy’s transformation and can be viewed as an extension of Hausmann and Klinger’s static measure. We apply our measure to four-digit-level SITC trade data of China, Malaysia, and Ghana over the period 1962–2000. The results show that two important factors characterize the rapid transformation of the Chinese economy: the high proximity of its export basket to three main industrial clusters—capital goods, consumer durable goods, and intermediate inputs—and the increase in the values of the new goods belonging to those three clusters....

Ano: 2009 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/50004 The Sophistication and Diversification of the African Agricultural Sector: A Product Space Approach AgEcon Badibanga, Thaddee Mutumba; Ulimwengu, John M.. We use the concept of the product space to analyze the key features of the transformation process in Africa with a focus on the agricultural sector. Between 1962 and 2008, we find that both specialization and diversification occur for the overall economy and across sectors. Our findings also confirm that the transformation of the African economy is driven primarily by the increasing specialization of nonagricultural exports. However, the transformation process is still moving more slowly than that of an emerging economy such as Brazil. The index of specialization of agricultural exports grew at a modest annual rate of 2.1 percent between 1962 and 2008, compared to 5.0 percent for nonagricultural exports and 4.1 percent for the overall economy. Although...
