Price competitiveness and variability in Egyptian cotton: effects of sectoral and economywide policies por Bautista, Romeo M., Gehlhar, Clemen G.

“…The following determinants (in an accounting sense) of the changes in the relative producer price of cotton during 1980-92 are quantified: (1) changes in the foreign price; (2) changes in the real exchange rate; and (3) changes in nominal protection and the marketing margin.

Early-stage researcher mobility: Gender barriers and opportunities in capacity building por Reyes, Byron, Camilo, Karen, Villarino, Eliza, Rietveld, Anne, Keramati, Chista, Monjol, Joanne, Spillane, Charles, Murray, Una, Aganze Chihababo, Christian

“…A climate-related capacity-building program should not only enhance developing country parties' capacity and ability to implement adaptation and mitigation actions (Article 11.1 of the Paris Agreement) but also, ensure socially inclusive training that fosters equality of both opportunity and outcome, particularly for cohorts who are poor or otherwise marginalized. Framed on this, CLIFF-GRADS is a training program that builds the capacity of early-career scientists from low- and middle-income countries to conduct applied research in agriculture GHG emission quantification and mitigation; however, current assessments of the CLIFF-GRADS program show that women are not only under-represented but also not applying to the program as frequently as men. …”
