How Competitive Is Myanmar's Rice Sector? A Comparison of Production Costs and Efficiency

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the cost competitiveness of rice production in Myanmar by examining production costs, cost efficiency, and the potential effect of improving cost efficiency on the country's global competitiveness. To achieve this, we conduct a comparative analysis of production costs among major rice‐producing countries and estimate the ...

The Permanent Income Hypothesis When the Bliss Point is Stochastic [PDF]

, 1991
A version of the permanent income model is developed in which the bliss point of the agent is stochastic. The bliss point depends on realizations of the stochastic process generating labor income and a random shock. The model predicts consumption and labor income share a common trend and that a linear combination of current consumption, current labor ...

Permanence can be defended [PDF]

, 2016
In donation after the cardio-respiratory determination of death (DCDD), the legal position is that the donor is dead at the time organs are procured and so the procurement of organs from these donors does not violate the dead donor rule.

Does a Specialized Niche Market Vegetable Processor Enjoy Bargaining Power?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agribusiness companies may achieve competitive advantage through specialization within niche markets. One such niche is the fresh‐cut fruit and vegetable market, which has been steadily growing in Germany. This study examines whether the specialization of a German fresh‐cut producer grants it with market power within this niche market.

Cost Pass‐Through in Crisis: Evidence From the German Malt‐Beer Supply Chain

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Global agri‐food supply chains are increasingly exposed to geopolitical shocks, climate volatility, and market consolidation, factors that disrupt traditional price relationships and reshape market power dynamics. Nowhere is this more visible than in the brewing sector, where agricultural raw materials meet complex industrial processing and ...

Estimates for multiple stochastic integrals and stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi equations [PDF]

, 2004
We study stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations and the corresponding Hamiltonian systems driven by jump-type Lévy processes. The main objective of the present paper is to show existence, uniqueness and a (locally in time) diffeomorphism ...

Biomimetic 3D Tactile Sensor System With Neuromorphic Encoding for Fascicle‐Level Feedback

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A 3D biomimetic tactile sensor system converts skin‐like mechanical interactions into neural stimulation‐ready spike patterns. Embedded slow‐ and fast‐adapting sensors distinguish sustained pressure from transient touch, while neuromorphic encoding preserves their temporal signatures.

Stochastic Locomotion Emerging From Body–Environment Interactions in a Mexican Jumping Bean–Inspired Robot

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by the Mexican jumping bean, this study presents a centimeter‐scale, electronics‐free robot that merges principles from both the animal and plant kingdoms. A thermo‐responsive actuator mimicking larval motion, enclosed within a uniquely shaped plant‐seed‐inspired shell, generates jumping, rolling, flipping, sliding, and climbing through ...

Uncertainty Quantification in Computational Electromagnetics: The stochastic approach [PDF]

, 2013
Models in electromagnetism are more and more accurate. In some applications, the gap between the experience and the model comes from the deviation on input data of the model which are not perfectly known.
