Description: In an excellent synthesis of theory and measurement as they relate to agricultural prices, William G. Tomek and Kenneth L. Robinson set out principles for understanding the operation of markets for agricultural products.

Agricultural Productivity Growth in Sub-Saharan Africa: Malmquist and Stochastic Frontier Approach

2008 y.
Publisher:
Description: This study estimates two nonparametric nonstochastic Malmquist indexes and a parametric stochastic translog-Fourier production frontier to examine agricultural productivity and its interactions with sociopolitical institutions in 41 sub-Saharan African, SSA, countries during the period of 1961-1999. On average, agricultural productivity in SSA was suffered a regression in productivity during and 1970s, but recovered in the mid-1980s to achieve a reasonably sound productivity improvement through the end of the century. This study contributes to the robustness of research on SSA agriculture with a broader geographical and time scope. Colonial heritage is found to be strongly correlated with total factor productivity growth rate, after controlling input quality. British colonies exhibited the highest productivity growth rate, and three ex-Belgian colonies the lowest. The difference between former colonies was determined in significant measure by the estimated effects of difference in [detailed...]

y.
Publisher:
Description: Over the past few decades the quality of many international water bodies has deteriorated, resulting in economic losses from declines in the fishing industry and in tourism, as well as a loss of biodiversity and health impacts from contaminated water. This deterioration has been caused by many factors including nutrient run-off from agriculture, insufficiently treated sewage, drainage of wetlands, coastal erosion, introduction of exotic species, eutrophication and inadequate resource management. One of the most significant sources of degradation has been from excessive discharge of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds (nutrients), due to the poor management practices used in agricultural, domestic and industrial activities. This publication aims to drawthe attention of professionals and practitioners working in agricultural and environmental sectors to the experiences and successes of the environmentally friendly good agricultural practices being used in the Chesapeake Bay Region of [detailed...]
