Postharvest Losses, Technology, and Employment: The Case of Rice in Bangladesh
ISBN: 9780367283971 / Angielski / Twarda / 345 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book presents a Bangladesh case study of the farm-level postharvest system. There are two main objectives. First, to use measured estimates of food loss to test (and reject) the conventional assumptions: that postharvest farm-level food losses are large; that they can be prevented cost-effectively by technical change; and that as a consequence, there will be more food consumption by hungry people. Commonly, none of these assumptions are true and the evidence from Bangladesh, plus supporting evidence from elsewhere, is used to show why they are wrong.

Risky Agricultural Markets: Price Forecasting and the Need for Intervention Policies
ISBN: 9780367286156 / Angielski / Twarda / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book shows how decisions made by individual farmers influence the efficiency of agricultural markets. Unless farmers properly take account of the correlation between prices and yields in forming their price forecasts, competitive markets will often be socially inefficient, leading to misallocation of resources. The authors demonstrate that a simple and practical price forecasting rule, based on expected per unit revenue, is generally adequate to ensure efficient market behavior.Time-series data from various countries are used to test the hypothesis that market supply is influenced by the...

Modeling Farm Decisions for Policy Analysis
ISBN: 9780367019860 / Angielski / Twarda / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Microeconomic modeling has been an important tool for agricultural economists for several decades and promises to be important for ad-dressing the research problems of the 1980s as well. This volume explores the possibilities for using micromodeling to analyze how individual farm businesses react to and are affected by farm policies. Although this purpose represents only one potential use of micro-modeling, effective modeling for policy analysis necessitates a broad look from several historical, analytical, and institutional perspectives. The Micromodeling Conference held November 18-20,...

Managing Food Security in Unregulated Markets
ISBN: 9780367007591 / Angielski / Twarda / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The major grain producing nations are moving toward the reduction of domestic and export subsidies to agriculture. The grain importing nations are reducing import barriers. As world markets evolve, grain will tend to be produced in areas that have a comparative advantage in grain production. Over time, production will shift to least-cost areas. Moving toward market orientation during the 1980's, the United States sharply modified its grain policy so that nonrecourse loans are no longer used as price enhancement devices. The loan rates are established at a percentage below the moving average...
