Impact of global warming on Chinese wheat productivity
Climate change continues to have major impact on crop productivity all over the world.
Climate change continues to have major impact on crop productivity all over the world.
Notwithstanding the ambiguous research and productivity promoting effects of plant variety protections (PVPs), even in developed countries, many developing countries have adopted PVPs in the past few years to comply with their Trade-Related Aspect
"The study attempts to measure the total benefits from rice varietal improvement research in China and India using variety adoption and performance data over the last two decades.
In developing countries, identifying the most effective community-level governance structure is a key issue and, increasingly, empirical evaluation of the effects of democratization on the provision of local public goods is needed.
The major objectives of this paper are to shed some light on the mechanism that generates interregional economic imbalances among communities in rural China.
This paper develops a framework to measure the impact of agricultural research on urban poverty.
Rapid industrial development and urbanization transfer more and more land away from agricultural production, threatening China’s capability to feed itself.
Public investment, together with institutional and policy reforms, has contributed substantially to rapid economic growth in rural China since the late 1970s. This rapid growth has also led to dramatic reductions in rural poverty.
This study develops an analytical framework to account for sources of rapid economic growth in China. The traditional Solow approach includes only two sources, i.e. increased use of inputs and technical change.
A Generalized Maximum Entropy (GME) approach is adapted to empirically estimate crop-specific production technologies in Chinese agriculture.
This paper develops a frontier shadow cost function approach to estimate empirically the effects of technological change, technical and allocative efficiency improvement in Chinese agriculture during the reform period (1980-93).
Output in Chinese agriculture has grown rapidly for the last several decades, as reported by the Statistical System in China.
This paper analyzes the macroeconomic assumptions, demand and supply parameters, and structures of the models used in projecting China's future food supply, demand, and trade.
Recent attempts to quantify the sources of growth in Chinese agriculture have attributed an exceptionally large share of this growth to the contemporary institutional and market reforms within China.
In this research, the quality of foreign japonica rices was evaluated in terms of prices relative to Japanese domestic retail prices.
