Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2021
Livestock is estimated to contribute to the livelihoods of about 60 percent of rural households in developing countries, including many poor. Measuring the exact extent of such contribution is however challenging, because of significant data gaps.

Journal of Corporate Finance, 2015
Abstract This paper examines the effect of trading on earnings management under the setting of China's non-tradable share reform. The government-enforced reform converted non-tradable shares to tradable and thus enabled blockholders and insiders to reduce holdings via public trading.

Endogenous Non-Tradable Earnings and Householdss Demand for Risky Assets [PDF]

open access: possibleSSRN Electronic Journal, 2014
Using French survey data, we explore empirically whether earnings uncertainty and borrowing constraints decrease households demand for risky assets, consistent with theoretical predictions. A major empirical problem is the potential endogeneity bias of income risk, as more risk averse households may simultaneously choose safer occupations and invest ...

The distinction between tradable and non-tradable commodities plays an important role in many theoretical models in economics. However, as Dixon et al. (2004) note, dividing commodities in an open economy into tradables and non-tradables is simple in theory, but difficult to implement empirically.

According to monetarists, inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon. It may, however, have supply side drivers; including global commodity prices.

Non-tradable goods and the border effect puzzle

Economic Modelling, 2010
Abstract The surprisingly high Canada–U.S. border effect estimated by McCallum has been puzzling trade economists in the last ten years. We argue in this paper that conventional estimates of the border effect without consideration of non-tradable goods can overstate the trade reducing effect of the national border and the impacts can be considerable.

A marked divergence in inflation rates between the tradable and nontradables sectors has been a feature of some European Union economies, notably Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom, since the early 1980s. This paper sets out a theoretical framework, which treats as alternatives the assumptions that firms in the tradable sector are price-takers or ...
