Government credit programs: Justification, benefits, and costs por Rosegrant, Mark W., Siamwalla, Ammar

“…Subsidized credit programs for agricultural producers have often been used to boost production in less developed countries. The "traditional" views in support of this policy instrument, as summarized by von Pischke, Adams, and Donald (1983), are that credit programs are easier to implement than such policies as land reform or infrastructure development, that subsidized credit can offset the negative impact on farm income and disincentives of government policies such as overvalued exchange rates and price controls, and that credit programs are necessary to provide capital for adoption of new technology. …”

The role of cocoa in Ghana's future development: Do geography and ethnic diversity matter? por Breisinger, Clemens, Diao, Xinshen, Kolavalli, Shashidhara, Thurlow, James

“…The recent surge in world commodity prices might alter the role of traditional export crops in African economies. While export crops have traditionally been important sources of foreign exchange earnings and government revenues, Ghana is an exceptional case, where a combination of favorable external conditions and internal reforms have made cocoa the driver of growth and poverty reduction. …”

Food trade policy and food price volatility por Martin, Will, Mamun, Abdullah, Minot, Nicholas

“…This fundamentally changes our understanding of the impacts of price-insulation—from a zero-sum game where some countries reduce the volatility of their prices using beggar-thy-neighbor policies that raise price volatility elsewhere, into one where price volatility rises in most countries. National policy reforms to move away from discretionary, destabilizing policies could lower costs, reduce volatility in domestic and world prices, and facilitate reform of international trade rules.…”

A recursive dynamic linear programming farm-level model to simulate the structural change in the arable production system of a Greek region por Mantziaris, Stamatis, Rozakis, Stelios, Karanikolas, Pavlos, Tsiboukas, Konstantinos, Petsakos, Athanasios

“…Based on the above, in this study, we present the structure of a recursive dynamic linear programming farm-level model coupled to the ARIMA stochastic process to simulate the impact of a policy regime reform on structural change. Determination of farm viability is not just based on traditional monetary criteria, but also on an innovative criterion, comparing the profitability of the farm with the standard of living of the reference group (neighboring farms) according to the concept of “pecuniary emulation” (Veblen, 1899). …”
