The seed and agricultural biotechnology industries in India: An analysis of industry structure, competition, and policy options por Spielman, David J., Kolady, Deepthi Elizabeth, Chandrasekhara Rao, N., Cavalieri, Anthony J.

“…Since the late 1980s, technological advances and policy reforms have opened up new opportunities for growth in India's seed and agricultural biotechnology industries. The impacts of such changes have been significant in India's cotton sector, but less so for the country's main cereal crops, where both yield and output growth rates have been relatively stagnant. …”

Spatial patterns of crop yields in Latin America and the Caribbean por Wood, Stanley, You, Liangzhi, Zhang, Xiaobo

“…We test three hypotheses that might help account for this finding: that technology generation has been biased towards production in more-favored production systems leaving behind persistent pockets of production in more marginal lands; that rainfall patterns have changed in ways that exacerbate yield divergence, and that technology spillover across borders remains more problematic than within-country spillover. …”

The influence of computable general equilibrium models on policy por Devarajan, Shantayanan, Robinson, Sherman

“…Most of these stem from: (i) pushing the model beyond its domain of applicability; (ii) violating the principle of Occam’s razor—use the simplest model suited to the task; (iii) the “black box syndrome”—results whose link with the policy change is opaque. In assessing the use of models in policy, it is important to distinguish between stylized and applied models. …”

The use of household expenditure surveys for the assessment of food insecurity por Smith, Lisa C.

“…The measures can be used to calculate within-country, national, regional and developing-world wide prevalences of food insecurity and for monitoring how these change over time. Because the food data are matched with various demographic characteristics of households they can be used to identify who the food insecure are as well. …”

Macro and micro effects of subsidy cuts: a short-run CGE analysis for Egypt por Lofgren, Hans

“…Sensitivity analysis suggested that one structuralist feature--mark-up pricing and excess capacity in much of the economy--had a strong impact on the results; when profit maximization and no excess capacity was assumed for most sectors, the changes in real GDP and other variables were much smaller.…”

How to make agricultural extension demand-driven?: The case of India’s agricultural extension policy por Birner, Regina, Anderson, Jock R.

“…Many countries have recognized the need to revive agricultural advisory or extension services (the terms are used interchangeably here) as a means of using agriculture as an engine of pro-poor growth; reaching marginalized, poor, and female farmers; and addressing new challenges, such as environmental degradation and climate change. In spite of ample experience with extension reform worldwide, identifying the reform options most likely to make extension more demand-driven remains a major challenge. …”

Pakistan’s cotton and textile economy: Intersectoral linkages and effects on rural and urban poverty por Cororaton, Caesar B., Orden, David

“…The study uses a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model calibrated to a 2001–02 social accounting matrix of the Pakistan economy to conduct experimental simulations of possible economic changes. The CGE model results are linked to the nation-wide 2001–02 Pakistan Household Integrated Economic Survey to examine the implications the simulated developments have for Pakistani poverty. …”
