The European tomato market is characterised by a constant process of dynamic
adjustment toward the equilibrium. Furthermore, Canary tomato exports cause a high
seasonal impact on market prices in the winter period. In these circumstances, an
adequate
distribution of shipments throughout the campaign could contribute to maximize producers’
profits.
The goal of this paper is to analyse the seasonal pattern of Canary tomato exports
to
Europe throughout the first fourteen campaigns following Spanish integration into
the
European Union. These export levels show some degree of instability, clearly related
to the
changes in the European Union trade rules, and there is a long period, the summer,
without
exports. Moreover, we have opted by using weekly data. These factors should be taken
into
account in order to accurately capture the performance of exports and, specifically,
the
nature of their seasonal behaviour. Thus, this analysis is carried out inside the
frame
delimited by the structural approach to time series and the usefulness of spline
functions as
an alternative to standard seasonal variation models is shown.

The paper argues that current long-term projections of global meat and feed demand
may
underestimate future consumption patterns for mainly two reasons. First, they do
not explicitly consider
increased demand for protein foods of animal origin with rising incomes in some developing
contries,
and second they do not allow for changes in livestock technology, in particular feed
demand. We then
project the impact of both mechanisms to show the empirical relevance of our comments
and suggest
ready-to-use tools to consider them within standard projection models.

The essays collected in this volume, written by well-known academics and policy analysts,
discuss the impact of increased capital mobility on macroeconomic performance. The
authors highlight the most adequate ways to manage the transition from a semi-closed
economy to a semi-open one. Additionally, issues related to the measurement of openness,
monetary control, optimal exchange rate regimes, sequencing of reforms, and real
exchange rate dynamics under different degrees of capital mobility are carefully
analyzed.
The book is divided into four parts after the editor's introduction. The first part contains the general analytics of monetary policy in open economies. Parts two to four deal with diverse regional experiences, covering Europe, the Asian Pacific region, and Latin America. The papers on which the essays are based were originally presented at a conference on Monetary Policy in Semi-Open Economies, held in Seoul, Korea, in November 1992.

This book builds on new institutionalist theory in both economics and political science
to offer a general political economy framework for the study of welfare capitalism.
Based on the key idea that social protection in a modern economy, both inside and
outside the state, can be understood as protection of specific investments in human
capital, the book offers a systematic explanation of popular preferences for redistributive
spending, the economic role of political parties and electoral systems, and labor
market stratification (including gender inequality). Contrary to the popular idea
that competition in the global economy undermines international differences in the
level of social protection, the book argues that these differences are made possible
by a high international division of labor. Such a division is what allows firms to
specialize in production that requires an abundant supply of workers with specific
skills, and hence high demand for protection.

The paper deals with the financial issues of the CAP reform at the edge of the EU
enlargement,
looking at the new distribution of resources programmed for the “second pillar”
of the
CAP. More in details, the papers focuses on three aspects: the distribution of resources
coming
from the implementation of modulation of direct payments, with regards to both the
current
and the new Member States; the future financial perspectives for Rural Development
Regulation (RDR) in the framework of the cohesion policies, in the light of the proposal
of a
“single Fund” that include both Guarantee and Guidance sections of the
EAGGF; the new
distribution of resources for Rural Development Plans (RDPs) as it comes out of the
“Objective
Criteria” coming from the European Commission. Modulation of direct payments
is the
current only instruments that actively shifts resources from the first to the second
pillar of the
CAP. The proposal of a single fund would change the geography and the distribution
of resources for the second pillar quite consistently. It would also affect the equity
of the “objective
criteria”, that would probably will be debated and eventually revised.

The purpose of this book is to introduce the empirically-based literature on contracting
and organization to a student audience. This literature derives from the work of
R.H. Coase, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1991. It includes studies of
a wide range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, electric power generation,
fast food, petroleum, coke, soft drink distribution, shoe manufacturing, timber harvesting,
transportation, and tuna processing. More important than any of the specific industries
or practices represented is that each study illustrates important principles of organization
that generalize to commercial transactions in other settings.

This paper uses data from a survey of two hundred and fifty cattle keeping households
in three cattle keeping
systems; intensive, semi-intensive and extensive systems to estimate the
value of non-market, socio-
economic benefits of cattle in Kenya. These benefits of cattle keeping
are of special importance in
developing countries, where financial markets function poorly and opportunities
for risk management
through formal insurance generally absent. However, when estimating the
total contribution of livestock,
these non - market functions are often ignored since they are difficult to value,
yet they may contribute to a
better understanding of livestock production systems. The use of contingent valuation
method is employed in
this study to elicit these non-market values. Econometric estimations
are then used to assess the factors
influencing the non - market benefits function. The results indicate that these benefits
are highly valued by
cattle keepers and comprise approximately 20% of the animal.s total value across
the three systems. They are
influenced by various production system and household related factors. Implications
for policy are drawn.


Causality in Macroeconomics [книги]

Causality in Macroeconomics is the first book to address the long-standing problems
of causality while taking macroeconomics seriously. The practical concerns of the
macroeconomist and abstract concerns of the philosopher inform each other. Grounded
in pragmatic realism, the book rejects the popular idea that macroeconomics requires
microfoundations, and argues that the macroeconomy is a set of structures that are
best analyzed causally. Ideas originally due to Herbert Simon and the Cowles Commission
are refined and generalized to non-linear systems, particularly to the non-linear
systems with cross-equation restrictions that are ubiquitous in modern macroeconomic
models with rational expectations (with and without regime-switching). These ideas
help to clarify philosophical as well as economic issues. The structural approach
to causality is then used to evaluate more familiar approaches to causality due to
Granger, LeRoy and Glymour, Spirtes, Scheines and Kelly, as well as vector autoregressions,
the Lucas critique, and the exogeneity concepts of Engle, Hendry and Richard. A constructive
approach to causal inference based on patterns of stability and instability in the
face of identified regime changes is developed and illustrated in two empirical case
studies of the causal direction between money and prices and between taxes and spending.

My aim is to follow Yair Mundlak's recommendation, which concluded his
Elmhirst Lecture, to identify
sources of and constraints upon economic growth in agriculture. I come to the subject
not as a long-time
researcher on international agricultural development, but rather as a follow-up to
studies of the development
of U.S. agriculture. The story of U.S. agriculture led me, as many before, to consider
possible lessons for
countries where sustained growth in the real incomes of rural people has not yet
occurred. Moreover, my
U.S. research led into questions of how the relatively poorest farm people have fared
in the growth process
(Gardner, 2000), a topic which fits well with the emphasis of President von Braun’s
address.
I begin by revisiting some fundamentals of agricultural development economics, the literature concerning it, and data measurement issues. In the second major section, empirical evidence is reviewed on the growth of agriculture as an industry. The third section turns to welfare consequences of agricultural growth as measured by real household incomes. The final section discusses conclusions about the causes of sector growth and real income growth.
