Growth, distribution and poverty in Madagascar: learning from a microsimulation model in a general equilibrium framework por Cogneau, Denis, Robilliard, Anne-Sophie

“…Market clearing equations allow for the endogenous determination of relative prices between sectors. The impact of different growth strategies on poverty and inequality is complex given general equilibrium effects and the wide range of household positions in markets for factors and goods markets. …”

Micronutrient malnutrition, obesity, and chronic disease in countries undergoing the nutrition transition: potential links and program/policy implications por Eckhardt, Cara L.

“…This paper discusses the potential long-term effects of micronutrient malnutrition in early childhood on obesity and related disease outcomes. The links between early micronutrient malnutrition, stunting, and subsequent short adult stature — emerging risk factors for obesity and associated chronic diseases—are reviewed. …”

Poverty and inequality in Vietnam: spatial patterns and geographic determinants por Minot, Nicholas, Baulch, Bob, Epprecht, Michael

“…This study uses a relatively new method called “small area estimation” to estimate various measures of poverty and inequality for provinces, districts, and communes of Vietnam. …”

Coping with the “coffee crisis” in Central America: the role of the Nicaraguan Red de Protección Social por Maluccio, John

“…For example, it protected households against declines in per capita expenditures and, while not significantly depressing labor supply relative to before the program, muted additional labor supply for beneficiaries in coffee-growing areas, relative to their counterparts without the program. …”

South American wheat markets and MERCOSUR por Díaz-Bonilla, Eugenio

“…Wheat trade issues that in the past focused prominently on export subsidies and trade practices of state trading enterprises may, in the future, be more related to sanitary and phytosanitary practices or to controversies linked to wheat flour and wheat-based manufactured goods, rather than to the primary product. …”

The impact of CAFTA on employment, production, and poverty in Honduras por Morley, Samuel, Nakasone, Eduardo, Piñeiro, Valeria

“…That is what the maquila simulation does, because maquila uses a lot of unskilled labor relative to skilled labor and capital. Alternatively the supply of capital can be increased by increasing the rate of capital formation. …”

Assessing Payne score accuracy through a bread wheat multi-genotype and multi-environment set from CIMMYT por Tabbita, Facundo, Ibba, Maria Itria, Andrade, Francisco, Crossa, José, Guzman, Carlos

“…Here we tested the Payne score accuracy and related scales using an extensive dataset. The precision of the scale is higher for Glu-A1 and Glu-D1 loci, particularly when predicting dough strength, and loaf volume. …”

Enhancing the rate of genetic gain in public-sector plant breeding programs: lessons from the breeder’s equation por Cobb, Joshua N., Juma, Roselyne U., Biswas, Partha S., Arbelaez, Juan D., Rutkoski, Jessica, Atlin, Gary, Hagen, Tom, Quinn, Michael, Ng, Eng Hwa

“…The most promising innovations for increasing the rate of genetic gain without greatly increasing program size appear to be related to reducing breeding cycle time, which is likely to require the implementation of parent selection on non-inbred progeny, rapid generation advance, and genomic selection. …”

Application of indica-japonica single-nucleotide polymorphism markers for diversity analysis of Oryza AA genome species por Lee, Yoo-Jin, Thomson, Michael J., Chin, Joong Hyoun

“…Eight clusters were generated through phylogenetic analysis, and Oryza meridionalis and Oryza longistaminata appeared to be the most distantly related species to cultivated rice. In this study, Oryza barthii and Oryza glaberrima accessions were found to exhibit high genetic similarity. …”

Genotype x environment interactions in progeny from a barley cross .1. Patterns of response among progeny lines for grain-yield and time to anthesis por Jackson, PA, Byth, D.E., Johnston, R.P., Fischer, K.S.

“…The first component from principal component analysis of grain yield was only weakly related to days to anthesis. This component appeared to be related to performance in favourable environments, suggesting that an important source of variation in grain yield among the progeny lines was associated with their responsiveness to favourable conditions.…”

A typology analysis of agricultural empowerment profiles in rural Egypt with a particular focus on women por Najjar, Dina, Frija, Aymen, El Garhi, Aman

“…Research conducted in the past three decades in Latin America, India, and sub-Saharan Africa shows that land access empowers women in their ability to produce food, to participate in public life, as well as in household decision-making. However, relatively little is known about the relations between women, land and empowerment in the Middle East. …”

Ambition meets reality: lessons from the taro boom in Nicaragua por Donovan, Jason, Poole, Nigel, Poe, Keith, Herrera-Arauz, Ingrid

“…Local businesses were generally unprepared for the uncertainties inherent in fresh horticultural trade or for engagement with distant buyers.Existing guides and tools for designing value chain interventions will benefit from greater attention to the circumstances of local actors and the challenges of building productive inter-business relations under higher levels of risk and uncertainty.This case serves as a wake-up call for practitioners, donors, researchers, and the private sector on how to identify market opportunities and the design of more robust strategies to respond to them.…”

Gender dynamics in agricultural value chain development: Foundations and gaps por Pyburn, Rhiannon, Kruijssen, Froukje

“…They advise explicit decision-making from practitioners and researchers in navigating inherent tradeoffs; between the often-competing objectives of value chain performance such as viability and efficiency, and those of gender equality, including the transformation of gender relations.…”
