1. Are Food Certification Costs Misestimated? Exporter-Perspective on the European Standard

Author:
Ragasa, Catherine; Thornsbury, Suzanne; Joshi, Satish

Subject:
HACCP; certification; developing countries; exports; food contamination; food law; food production; models; production costs; profits and margins; quality control; safety standards; seafoods
Abstract:
... Food safety regulations aimed at controlling food contamination have sometimes been criticised as excessive burdens, disadvantaging smaller firms and exports from developing nations. Reported food safety expenditures appear relatively small (from <1 to 7% of the value of production) but can erode profit margins for many firms. This article responds to claims that reported firm-level expenditures d ...

2. Interlocked Village Markets and Trader Idiosyncrasy in Rural India

Journal of agricultural economics 2011 v.62 no.3 pp. 690-709
ISSN:

Subject:
developing countries; markets; prices; India
Abstract:
... The role of traders and traditional exchange institutions has received little attention in empirical research on rural markets in developing countries. We use detailed data on transactions in a village commodity market in India and identify two observed anomalies: first, the repeal of the law of one price, and second, a trader-idiosyncratic effect, namely that large volumes are sold to a trader wh ...

3. Trade Elasticity, Gravity and Trade Liberalisation: Evidence from the Food Industry

Author:
Raimondi, Valentina; Olper, Alessandro
Source:
Journal of agricultural economics 2011 v.62 no.3 pp. 525-550
ISSN:
0021-857X
Subject:
developed countries; developing countries; elasticities; exports; food industry; foods; income; market share; markets; models; tariffs; trade liberalization; uncertainty
Abstract:
... We present an econometric investigation of the trade effect produced by the elimination of tariffs in 18 food sectors for a large sample of developing and developed countries. The standard CES monopolistic competition trade model and the gravity equation were used to estimate trade substitution elasticities, exploring their sensitivity to different estimation methods. Using these elasticities, we ...

Abstract:
... Despite discovery of the pathogen more than 100 years ago, tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a major killer disease worldwide. Currently a third of world population is infected and multiple-drug-resistant (mdr) TB registers maximum mortality by a single pathogen. Nanomedicine provides enormous opportunity for developing novel drugs. We have recently demonstrated surface-modified-lipophilic-nanosil ...
