Gender differences in awareness and adoption of climate-smart agriculture practices in Bangladesh por Bryan, Elizabeth, Kato, Edward, Bernier, Quinn

“…Other factors, besides lack of awareness, also emerge as important determinants of adoption, including household wealth, as measured by size of landholdings, labor availability, access to credit, experience with climate shocks, and perceptions of future climate risk. The results suggest that greater efforts to reach both men and women with information on CSA would increase awareness and adoption of climate-smart practices.…”

Assessing the impacts of COVID-19 on Myanmar’s economy: A Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) multiplier approach por Diao, Xinshen, Aung, Nilar, Lwin, Wuit Yi, Zone, Phoo Pye, Nyunt, Khin Maung, Thurlow, James

“…The SAM multiplier model is a simulation tool ideally suited to measuring short-term direct and indirect economy-wide impacts of unanticipated, rapid-onset economic shocks, such as COVID-19. The multiplier model builds on a SAM, which is a database that captures resource flows associated with all economic transactions taking place in an economy and represents the structure of the economy at a point in time by showing the interlinkages and relationships between actors, i.e., productive activities, households, governments, and relationships with the rest of the world. …”

Volatile volatility: Conceptual and measurement issues related to price trends and volatility por Díaz-Bonilla, Eugenio

“…After expanding on several methodological and data issues related to how these concepts are defined and measured, the paper concludes that although the price shocks of 2008 and 2011 focused the attention of the public and policymakers on price volatility, the decomposition of trends, cycles, and shorter-term volatility also suggests the need to find out whether price variations are responding to cyclical and shorter-term movements, or whether they are the result of a changing trend reflecting adjustments in long-term fundamentals that need to be properly understood.…”
