Book Synopsis Macroeconomic Policy Reforms and Agriculture by : Romeo M. Bautista
Download or read book Macroeconomic Policy Reforms and Agriculture written by Romeo M. Bautista and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report investigates the income and equity effects of macroeconomic policy reforms in Zimbabwe, emphasizing linkages between macroeconomic policies and agricultural performance and agriculture's influence on aggregate income and its distribution. Analyses focus on reform of the foreign trade regime, public expenditure, and tax policy, along with the potential benefits of combining these structural changes with various land reform scenarios. The study uses a CGE model that provides a policy simulation laboratory in which exogenous policy changes are analyzed for their economywide income and equity effects.The report highlights the need for policy complementarities in Zimbabwe that can contribute to equitable growth. It should be of interest not only to those concerned with recent economic developments in Zimbabwe but also to those concerned with the broader issues of macroeconomic reform and its ultimate effects.

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).
Book Synopsis Economic Reform, Trade and Agricultural Development by : Ian Goldin
Download or read book Economic Reform, Trade and Agricultural Development written by Ian Goldin and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 338 pages. 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.

Book Synopsis Macroeconomic Policy Reforms and Productivity Growth in African Agriculture by : Andrew Ojede
Download or read book Macroeconomic Policy Reforms and Productivity Growth in African Agriculture written by Andrew Ojede and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article employs a two-stage procedure to investigate the impact of macroeconomic policy reforms on the agricultural productivity growth of 33 African countries from 1981 to 2001. In the first stage, we measure agricultural productivity using a nonparametric Malmquist productivity index. In the second stage, we build a generalized method of moments (GMM) model with a measure of structural adjustment program (SAP) intensity as a key instrument for macroeconomic policy reforms. We also control for the effects of globalization, civil violence, level of development of physical and financial infrastructure, and other economic variables as well as natural resource factors that directly affect agricultural productivity. Our results indicate a strong positive correlation between the extent of SAP intensity and agricultural productivity, suggesting that the macroeconomic policy reforms improved agricultural productivity growth in the sample countries.

Book Synopsis Macroeconomic Gains from Reforming the Agri-Food Sector: The Case of France by : Nicoletta Batini
Download or read book Macroeconomic Gains from Reforming the Agri-Food Sector: The Case of France written by Nicoletta Batini and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: France is the top agricultural producer in the European Union (EU), and agriculture plays a prominent role in the country’s foreign trade and intermediate exchanges. Reflecting production volumes and methods, the sector, however, also generates significant negative environmental and public health externalities. Recent model simulations show that a well-designed shift in production and consumption to make the former sustainable and align the latter with recommended values can curb these considerably and generate large macroeconomic gains. I propose a policy toolkit in line with the government’s existing sectoral policies that can support this transition.

Book Synopsis Privatization and Deregulation by : Surjit S. Sidhu
Download or read book Privatization and Deregulation written by Surjit S. Sidhu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1999-05-31 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributions in this publication are an outcome of growing concerns around the world about the prevailing inefficiencies in agriculture and agribusiness and the need to improve productivity, profitability, and financial sustainability of agriculture and agribusiness by privatizing state- owned enterprises and eliminating unnecessary government regulations. It is in this context that an international symposium was organized on April 19-30, 1993, to address these policy concerns and thereby to improve the long-term prospects for productive and financially sustainable agriculture and agribusiness development. The policy issues addressed herein were identified in a series of discussions at IFDC and with the authors. The main objectives were to focus on analytical policy issues that accelerate the process of privatization and market deregulation of publicly owned and operated enterprises and to provide necessary operational guidelines for policy reforms. This publication is structured around four main topics: (1) the role of agribusiness in economic development; (2) possible approaches and guidelines for privatization and deregulation of agribusiness; (3)the necessary enabling policy environment for privatization and deregulation; and (4) selected case studies. The views expressed in this publication belong solely to the respective authors and should not be attributed to IFDC, World Bank, or other organizations represented. Readers should keep in mind that when authors refer to `current' or `present' situations, they generally mean 1992/93 unless otherwise specified.
