Hedonic pricing analysis is conducted to determine the implicit values of various attributes in market value a good. In this study, hedonic was applied measure contribution grain quality search and experience price rice two rural towns Philippines. Rice samples from respondents underwent quantitative routine assessments quality. particular, gelatinization temperature chalkiness, parameters that are normally assessed through visual scores, were evaluated by purely means (differential scanning...
Abstract We investigated the role of spatial dependency in technical efficiency estimates rice farmers using panel data from Central Visayan island Bohol Philippines. Household‐level were collected irrigated and rainfed agro‐ecosystems. In each ecosystem, geographical information on residential farm‐plot neighborhood structures was recorded to compare household‐level among four types neighborhoods. A Bayesian stochastic frontier approach that integrates used address effects farmers’...
Vietnam faces several adverse climatic stresses such as increases in temperature, drought, flooding, saltwater intrusion, and sea-level rise. Past research on climate change adaptation has highlighted that challenges faced by populations vary across the country. In this study, we are interested to know if autonomous responses also vary, depending which stress individuals responding to. To answer question, use primary-collected data of 1,306 from Mekong River Delta, Central Vietnam, Red...
The processes countries use to revise their Nationally Determined Commitments (NDCs) under the UNFCCC's Paris Agreement will be key ensure that pledges give effective climate change policy. In many developing countries, agriculture, forestry and other land (AFOLU) sector is central NDCs. We generated a marginal abatement cost (MAC) curve for Vietnam's AFOLU used it review country's mitigation this sector. conclude Vietnam could increase emission in its NDC, especially future use. Other...
We conducted a policy situation analysis in three Mekong region countries, focused on how the animal and human health systems interact to control avian influenza (AI). The study used scoping literature reviews aimed at establishing existing knowledge concerning regulatory context. then series of key informant interviews with national sub-national government officials representatives producers poultry farmers understand their realities managing complex interface two sectors AI. found signs...
This paper investigates the determinants of total household income in selected rice-based farming villages Philippines. A quantile regression approach was applied on cross-section data obtained from 656 households across four provinces. Determinants were examined using an ordinary approach, which, unlike conditional mean regression, allows parameter variation quantiles. The also enables analysis for extreme categories such as low-income households. Results indicate that coefficients...
This paper examines the causes of falling labour share in OECD and non-OECD countries since 1980s by using Karabarbounis Neiman's (2014) model. While both groups experience an elasticity substitution between capital labour, factors driving down are different. In countries, export volatility key drivers, but significant financial openness capital's relative price. Overall, technological advancement – as reflected declining price coupled with globalization low economic risk explaining a...
This study has evaluated the technical efficiency of farmers engaged in rice-wheat cropping systems North-eastern India, who are using Resource-Conserving Technologies (RCTs) such as Zero Tillage (ZT) and Direct Seeded Rice (DSR). These technology promotions being carried out under intervention Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) project, primarily funded by Bill Melinda Gates Foundation. The resource-conserving technologies promoted part conservation agriculture supported...
This paper revisits the inequality-growth relationship using data at sub-national (provincial) level in Philippines over period 1991- 2000. A conditional convergence growth model is considered where of per capita income depends on inequality and other factors. The contribution each province to overall obtained from Theil index considered. Results indicate that has a positive significant effect growth. However, magnitude not stable across regions. Geographically Weighted Regression estimates...
This study revisits the relationship between income inequality and economic growth using provincial-level data from Philippines over a ten-year period (1991–2000). demonstrates that magnitude significance of inequality-growth is not stable across space can be overestimated when spatial considerations are excluded analysis. Generally, existing literature on has largely overlooked elements. To avoid this exclusion, geographically weighted regression (GWR) estimates were used in study. Results...
We investigate spatial dependency among technical efficiency levels of rice producers on the Central Visayan island Bohol, Philippines in two separate ecosystems: rainfed and irrigated. Results revealed evidence correlation for both residential plot neighborhood. There is a stronger farmers ecosystem particularly farm neighborhood structure. These results are most likely result facing similar environments with less control over their fields than irrigated ecosystem. This study also used...
This study aimed to evaluate the technical efficiency of farmers engaged in rice-wheat cropping systems India using Resource Conserving Technologies (RCTs) such as zero-tillage and direct seeding, under intervention Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) project primarily funded by Bill Melinda Gates Foundation. The goal is alleviate hunger malnutrition well increase income food security poor living Asia. are being promoted part conservation agriculture supported project. These...
Investigating the determinants of economic growth remains a long research tradition in literature. Most studies this literature have tried to link and different factors using either neoclassical theories or endogenous approaches. These apply these identify responsible for observed differences/disparities between regions countries. While early focused on cross-country analyses, recent most consider sub-national entities as unit analysis. This has raised question whether developed analysis...
This study aims to evaluate the cost efficiency of farmers practicing zerotillage wheat and direct-seeded rice under intervention Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) project, primarily funded by Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The focus area this is in two regions India: Bihar eastern Uttar Pradesh (EUP). frontier function analysis has revealed that higher who were receiving crop. However, reveals very little difference between with- without-intervention season. results also...
This study used primary data, collected as part of the Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) project to compare net returns and cost efficiency between farmers who are beneficiaries not beneficiaries. Additionally, non-beneficiary use promoted technologies from compared other do technologies. Propensity score matching is account selection bias when comparing outcomes beneficiary control groups. Results indicate higher return recipients well CSISA resource-conserving (RCTs).
