Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impacts of Peru's research and extension programs on two regions in Peru and assess the implications of those impacts on institutional action by the Agrarian Bank and the Peruvian research and extension service. An LP model was constructed for two regions, Contumaza and Tarapoto, and was run under various levels of risk, alternative credit arrangements, selected price changes, and with and without the newly released varieties. Results from the various scenarios demonstrated that the introduction of new varieties increased net income, labor use, and

This dissertation consists of three essays: The first essay considers a three-player labor market game and illustrates how wage and price decisions may change dramatically when a worker is guilt averse in the sense of wishing not to disappoint the firm's consumers. I incorporate guilt aversion into an effort setting game and obtain predictions thereof in a way not yet considered by labor economists, and I call attention to the fact that one must exercise caution when directly applying Battigalli & Dufwenberg (2007) simple guilt preferences.

Abstract:

Agricultural industries play a key role in promoting the economic prosperity and growth of Tongan society. Agricultural exports, such as the pumpkin industry, receive foreign exchange to pay for the imports. This project aims to develop an understanding of the problems involved in exporting pumpkins from Tonga to the Japanese rice market. It also aims, as an action research project, to increase the understanding of the problem owners in order to improve the operation of the industry.

Abstract:

Agricultural production in France has increased considerably since the late fifties, turning France into a net exporter in world markets. This has generated a heated policy debate between France and the United States, centering around different views of the sources of growth in French agricultural production between 1960 and 1984. To shed some light on this debate, these sources of growth were analyzed. A sectoral model of the French agricultural sector is developed. It is based on the assumption of profit maximization. Duality theory is used to derive short- and long-run output supply and i

Abstract:

Despite substantial public expenditure from domestic and international sources on free-to-user agricultural extension services in Bangladesh, there is a lag between the availability and application of seed technologies. Besides the slow pace of diffusion of newly generated modern varieties (MVs), there exist wide gaps between potential and achieved yields at the farm level. This study aims to assess the performance of Bangladeshi research and extension (R&E) institutions in disseminating new rice MVs to end-users, and to identify factors affecting farm-level diffusion of the disseminated MVs

Abstract:

The economy of many African countries is heavily based on agriculture and, as it is also one of the most vulnerable sectors to climate change. Considering that it provides a main source of income for many households in rural areas in Africa, it is undeniable that negative impacts of climate change will increase their vulnerability. Their vulnerable position is due to their high dependence on natural resources and minimal financial and technical means to cope with the changes. This is also the case for rural communities in Tanzania, a country that - despite experiencing an economic growth of 6-

Achieving the successful development, transfer and adoption of new agricultural technology is a popular issue in the innovation literature. Innovation diffusion and economic theory has informed this literature by emphasising the central role that technology attributes and economic rationality play in the adoption of new technology. In agricultural innovation context, research has traditionally taken a technological determinist perspective, assuming that technologies shape society and that all technological change is positive and progressive.

The development of environmentally-oriented farming systems and management in the agricultural sector is an objective necessity in modern terms, since the implementation of innovative technologies in agricultural activity is often accompanied by exceeding the maximum permissible limits for intensification of production of different directions. Organic agricultural production has become widely spread in the world in recent years. Ukraine also has great potential for development of this area of farming. So, starting with 2000s the organic products market capacity has been rapidly growing.
