This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why write a book on macroeconomic policies and their links to agriculture and food security in developing countries? The food price spikes of the years just prior to 2010 and the economic, political, and social dislocations they generated refocused the attention of policymakers and development practitioners on the agricultural sector and food security concerns. But even without those traumatic events, the importance of agriculture for developing countries—and for an adequate functioning of the world economy— cannot be denied. First, although declining over time, primary agriculture still represents important percentages of developing countries’ overall domestic production, exports, and employment. If agroindustrial, transportation, commercial, and other related activities are also counted, then the economic and social importance of agriculture-based sectors increases significantly. Furthermore, large numbers of the world’s poor still live in rural areas and work in agriculture. Through the links via production, trade, employment, and prices, agricultural production is also crucial for national food security. Second, it has been shown that agriculture in developing countries has important growth and employment multipliers for the rest of the economy, and agriculture seems to have larger positive effects in reducing poverty than growth in other sectors. Third, agriculture is not only important for individual developing countries, but it has global significance, considering the large presence of developing countries in world agricultural production and the increasing participation in international trade of those products (these three points will be covered in greater detail in Chapter 1).

This book was released on 2016-01-03 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of the regional debt crisis, most governments of Latin America in the 1980s entered into a process of profound policy change, from an import substitution oriented strategy to a focus upon export-promotion, with an emphasis upon market liberalisation. According to mainstream economic theory, the effect of this shift would be to favour agriculture. This book, with contributors from Latin America and Europe, surveys the results on agriculture of a decade of policy change, and to produce new and unexpected insights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over the past decade, developing and formerly centrally planned economies have embarked on fundamental economic reforms. The reforms at the macroeconomic level - notably in fiscal, monetary and trade policies - have been at the heart of the policy and analytic debate. Yet, this book shows that while these macroeconomic reforms are a necessary condition for growth, they are not in themselves sufficient or sustainable: reforms in the productive sectors of the economy - agriculture, industry and services - are also required, and the sequencing of these reforms is a vital issue. This volume examines the relationship between macroeconomic and trade reforms and adjustments in food and agricultural policies. Comparative perspectives are provided, based on a wide range of developing and formerly centrally planned country studies." "The volume addresses a critical lacunae in the literature concerning economic adjustment and demonstrates the need for economy-wide perspectives. The neglect of critical linkages, and notably the macro-agro linkages, is shown to have undermined reforms in a wide range of countries. The daily challenge facing economists is evident from the stalled and increasingly vulnerable reform experience. To be effective, reforms must embrace the whole economy, and not least agriculture and the food-producing and food-processing sectors. This book shows how greater emphasis on the productive sectors, and the adoption of an economy-wide perspective to reform, will greatly enhance the prospects of food security and equitable and sustainable growth."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998, this volume focuses on the special category of countries popularly referred to as ‘transition economies’ through an analysis of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and their role in Asian economies, with a view to assessing whether they could or should provide a model for African countries. The present volume explores the institutional peculiarities displayed by ‘transition economies’. These are economies which are undergoing a comprehensive and fundamental societal transformation with a view to creating a utopian communist society within the frame of a centrally administered economy, then a pluralistic society based on a market economy and the rule of law. Much of the debate on the economic performance of African LCD's has focused on informal sector activities or on the imperative to achieve structural adjustment. By highlighting instead the challenges facing two of the least successful among the African economies - Ethiopia and Tanzania, both of which share a socialist past - this book moves beyond the above issues. It argues that institutional adjustment is critical to the prospects for success in developing transition economies. As such the book investigates the transaction costs environment within which small-scale industrial activities are set. By drawing extensively on the Asian experience, (predominantly China and Vietnam but also India and Taiwan), it identifies sources of transaction costs by examining not only the transactional disadvantages of small-scale production, but also the past and present sources of institutional inefficiency.

Download or read book Linking Macroeconomic and Agricultural Policies for Adjustment with Growth written by Vinod Thomas and published by Johns Hopkins University Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1980s, Colombia's economic performance slowed. During 1983-84, when this study was completed, Colombia's external accounts were facing significant difficulties. Faced with growing balance of payments problems, the government initiated an adjustment program that emphasizes export development and fiscal and monetary restraint. Some of the problems of the external sector during the first half of the 1980s could be attributed to a slowdown in the expansion of noncoffee production and exports combined with a downswing in coffee prospects. Equally important, however, were the unfavorable trends in the capital markets, which were responding to the economic and debt woes of Latin America. While international factors are crucial to an understanding of the evolving situation, this study is focused on domestic measures managed by policymakers. The book also establishes some of the requirements of medium-term performance and, emphasizing the need for sectoral revitalization, it reviews growth options in agriculture. The book is in four parts. First, it discusses trade-related macroeconomic policies, with special attention given to their connection with agriculture. This discussion includes: an overview of issues and the effects of macroeconomic policy on the agricultural sector; a review of export policy focused on management of export incentives; and import policy alternatives. Second, the study includes an assessment of price policies in agriculture, including price support and import restrictions; price stabilization issues; and policies regarding coffee production and pricing, and issues related to agricultural diversification. Third, the study examines nonpricing issues that influence the production environment in agriculture, including public and private sector investment in agriculture, and direct policies aimed at increasing agricultural productivity. Finally, the study draws out the main conclusions of the work.

Book excerpt: The present study offers detailed analyzes of the effects of macroeconomic policies on the agricultural sector. It also presents a framework to understand how Rural Development Programs RDP) can help to reduce the negative effects of macroeconomic policy on the agricultural sector. To attain this objective we need to structure the analyzes within a context. For the present study, we will use macroeconomic adjustments as the context and the exchange rate and monetary policy as the macroeconomic tools. Moreover, we will concentrate our analysis on developing countries. Developing countries have experienced the most dramatic macroeconomic adjustments in the recent economic history, and most likely, they will continue to face structural instabilities that will require some adjustment.

Book excerpt: The Economics of Adjustment and Growth moves the study of macroeconomics for developing economies away from the traditional static approach and toward a more dynamic, growth-oriented framework. Pierre-Richard Agénor presents an analysis of policy issues involved in designing economic adjustment programs in developing countries and structural reform policies aimed at fostering economic growth. Emphasizing the need to take into account the structural features of these countries, his work dwells on the considerable body of analytical research and empirical evidence of the past two decades in academic circles and international organizations. It provides cutting-edge analysis of many current real-world issues, such as financial crises and the role of trade integration in fostering economic growth. Overall the book offers an impressive overview of the macroeconomic and structural adjustment issues facing developing economies today.
