Food Prices and Inflation Expectations in New Zealand

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food prices are conspicuous, and spending on food constitutes a considerable share of household expenditure. In this study, we use partially identified Bayesian structural vector autoregression models to analyze the effects of food price shocks on core inflation and 1‐ and 5‐year inflation expectations in New Zealand.

Photosynthetic performance and sucrose metabolism in superior and inferior rice grains with overlapping growth stages under water stress

Scientific Reports
Drought stress at jointing and booting stages of plant development directly affects plant growth and productivity in rice. Jointing and booting stages may overlap in high-latitude areas where water deficits occur.

Functional analysis of CcDREB1D promoter region from two genotypes of Coffea canephora through genetic transformation of Nicotiana tabacum : S03P08 [PDF]

, 2013
Although some studies in plant physiology resulted in a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in drought tolerance in coffee, knowledge about the metabolic and molecular changes involved in the response of the coffee plant to water deficit ...

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Variation Among Populations and Correlation Among Seedling Characters of White Jabon (Neolamarckia Cadamba (Roxb.) Bosser) Under Drought and Water Logging Stress [PDF]

, 2016
Drought and water logging stress are the most critical environmental factors that affect tree seedling survival and growth in the field. In this study, 12 populations of white jabon (Neolamarckia cadamba (Roxb.) Bosser) were evaluated to determine the ...

How cold is too cold? A theoretical analysis of the optimal trigger for index insurance for frost damage to crops

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Experimental Design to Determine Drought Stress Response and Early Leaf Senescence in Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)

Bio-Protocol, 2016
Premature leaf senescence induced by drought stress is a main factor for yield losses in barley. Research in drought stress tolerance has become more important as due to climate change the number of drought periods will increase and tolerance to drought ...

Implementing an Indigenous Research Methodology to Develop a Culturally Appropriate Survey and Yarning Protocol: Challenges With Retention of the Aboriginal Health, Ageing and Disability Workforce

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aboriginal staff play a vital part in improving culturally safe and effective services and supports for Aboriginal people. Research on the Aboriginal workforce helps advance a culturally safe environment for workers and Aboriginal people accessing health and community services. This study aims to identify the barriers and enablers to workforce
