Pobreza, Deforestación y Pérdida de la Biodiversidad en Guatemala
Loening, Ludger J.; Markussen, Michael - EconWPA - 2003
This paper explores the causes of deforestation and biodiversity loss in Guatemala and is organized into 4 parts. First …, an overview about deforestation in Guatemala from 1950-2000 is provided, and the relationship between deforestation and … biodiversity loss is explored. Secondly, some underlying causes of deforestation are examined. While caution is needed about many …

Contract Duration and the Division of Labor in Agricultural Land Leases
Yoder, Jonathan; Hossain, Ishrat; Eppin, Francis - EconWPA - 2005
Short-term contracts provide weak incentives for durable input investment if post-contract asset transfer is difficult. Our model shows that when both agents provide inputs, optimal contract length balances weak incentives of one agent against the other. This perspective broadens the existing...

An interaction model for livestock farming and steppe ecosystem // “Mathematical Modeling of Ecological Systems” Almaty: Daik-Press, 2003. – 160 p. Abstracts. P.26.
Demberel S.; Olenev, Nicholas; Pospelov, Igor - EconWPA - 2003
This work builds a macro model for livestock farming based on aggregation of initial micro description for rational control of total number of vintage livestock (age cohorts). All variety of animal kinds is reduced to one by given recount coefficients. An optimal problem on co-hort total number...

Structural Problems in Namibia's Sectoral and Sub-Sectoral Performance During the 1968-1992 Years
Amavilah, V. Heinrich S. - EconWPA - 2003
A flexible production function analysis is addressed to Namibia's data for the 1968-1992 period to test for evidence of structural problems in sectoral and sub-sectoral performance. The analysis found the primary sector to be characterized by constant returns to scale through the entire 25...

Inflationary Dynamics and the Angell-Johnson Proposals
Jr, Thomas M Fullerton; Hirth, Richard A; Smith, Mark B - EconWPA - 2004
The links between commodity prices, interst rates, wages, and the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar with consumer prices is investigated. An ARIMA transfer function methodology is employed. Sample data are from January 1972 to December 1988. Although model diagnsotics are relatively good,...

What’s the Beef with House Prices? Economic Shocks and Local Housing Markets
Grimes, Arthur; Aitken, Andrew - EconWPA - 2005
We examine the impact of shocks on community outcomes. The shocks that we examine are exogenous economic shocks which occur externally to the local community, and which are hypothesised to impact on the community. By testing the impact of these shocks on community developments, we enrich...
