... In a recent paper, Bick et al. (2022) show the presence of a hump-shaped relationship between hours and hourly wages with a maximum around 50 h worked. We show that a model with fixed labor costs where workers and firms bargain in wages and hours can help explain this non-linear relationship. Also, a quantitative version of the model is able to match the empirical hourly-wage to hours worked relat ...
... Capacity mechanisms are now deemed a regulatory mainstay in liberalised power system decarbonisation. These instruments aim to ensure sufficient resource adequacy with a mix able to meet the reliability target set by the regulator. Remuneration in capacity mechanisms depends on so-called firm supply (calculated from de-rating factors or capacity credits), taken as a proxy for each resource’s expec ...

Abstract:
... Small agricultural cooperatives are increasingly using differentiated payments based on the quality of their members’ products. Such cooperatives make a trade‐off between the return on investment in quality and members’ disengagement from the cooperative. Based on data from the five‐year survey of small French agricultural cooperatives, we analyse the effect of incentive payments on small cooperat ...

Abstract:
... Participants in energy auction markets must simultaneously decide on the quantity and price of their offers while attempting to ensure bid acceptance through the market clearing process. To participate profitably in these markets, energy resource aggregators require accurate knowledge about the costs and quantity of electricity that can be produced and consumed, i.e., knowledge about scheduling de ...

Abstract:
... Vegetable crops benefit from seed priming technology by their low volume and high value. Early sowing of vegetables under suboptimal environments is practised often to fetch better remuneration in the market, although simultaneously it compels the farmers to use high seed rates to compensate for poor seedling emergence. To tackle this problem, farmers and seed companies world over practice on-farm ...

Abstract:
... Identification of rumen protozoa in ruminants is significant for species identification, ecological population structure survey, and protozoa behaviour analysis. At present, rumen protozoa identification still needs to be done manually, which is time-consuming and inefficient. To address this issue, this paper proposes a deep learning method for accurate segmentation and recognition of protozoa in ...

Abstract:
... Recycling by the informal sector provides a rapid, inexpensive solution to plastic pollution, whilst supporting the livelihoods via their inclusion and empowerment. This solution will have the greatest benefit to the environment if supporting interventions are targeted at types of plastic pollution that are the most damaging from an ecological and wider risk perspective. Interventions should targe ...

... Environmental protection and innovation performance are key issues that affect the sustainable development and value growth of cities. Using data of 272 prefecture-level cities during 2002–2016 and 2,169 listed companies, and the air ventilation coefficient and government environmental regulations, as the instrumental variables for PM₂.₅ concentrations, this paper applies two-stage OLS (2SLS) to i ...
... Introduction of drought tolerant varieties of maize and wheat resulted in significantly higher additional yield of 35.6 and 32.5 percent, respectively over the years. The rainwater management through ex situ and in situ techniques also proved to be crucial interventions for enhancing the crop productivity of small and marginal farmers in dryland regions. The lifesaving irrigation to wheat through ...
... Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.), a major spice crop in the North-Eastern Hill Region (NEHR) of India, plays a vital role in the economy of tribal farmers of this region who though practise its traditional farming. The predominance of acidic Inceptisol in NEHR further deteriorates the yield and quality of this crop fetching poor remuneration to the tribal growers. Optimal and balanced plant nutrition h ...

... This article aims at exploring the social and political elements in women’s practices in artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) in the Talensi District in Ghana. This study draws on feminist political economy literature to investigate how women exercise agency in this maledominated industry to carve out spaces for participation. In addressing how women exercise agency, this study examines the stru ...

Abstract:
... The development of the dairy sector is economically important to many countries of the world. However, the dairy sector has faced many constraints due to the unavailability of quality and quantity of feed resources and their responses on growth, health and reproduction in dairy animals. The total mixed ration (TMR) is an alternate strategy to overcome the feed shortage of lactating cows by utilizi ...

We provide a detailed quantified overview of utilised auction schemes, including geographical spread, volumes, results, and design specifications. Our comprehensive global dataset reveals heterogeneous designs. Although most auction designs provide some form of revenue stabilisation, their specific ...

This paper analyzes the decision-making factors that influence the generational succession of young members or children of members of agricultural cooperatives in the grain, meat, and dairy segments in the southern region of Brazil. First, 25 factors that influence the process of generational succession, called decision-making factors, were identified through a literature review and dialogue with ...

... Context Social aspects of livestock farming systems, including farm workforce and how work is organised, have received less research attention than the biophysical and technological aspects. This constrains understanding of social challenges to the sustainability of livestock systems, such as farm labour shortages, farmers’ overwork, the undesirability of farming careers, workforce and skills chan ...

... Land use and land cover (LULC) classification maps help understand the state and trends of agricultural production and provide insights for applications in environmental monitoring. One of the major downfalls of the LULC technique is inherently linked to its need for ground truth data to cross-validate maps. This paper aimed at evaluating the efficiency of machine learning (ML) in limiting the use ...

... Maize followed by summer pulses is the emerging cropping system in many places in India. Herbicides are the efficient tools for checking weed infestation and their usage is increasing throughout the globe due to increased labour cost and quick weed control. Some herbicides do not degrade quickly and may remain in the soil for weeks, months or years after application and may inhibit the growth of s ...
