Quality standards in food-processing industries have become a growing challenge for farmers in developing countries. This challenge is the target of collective action-based programs aiming at framing the cooperation context and the rules system that would enable a local community to turn...

We estimate the impact of local mining activity on the business constraints experienced by 22,150 firms across eight resource-rich countries. We find that with the presence of active mines, the business environment in the immediate vicinity (20 km) of a firm deteriorates but business constraints...

We estimate the impact of local mining activity on the business constraints experienced by 25,777 firms across nine large and resource-rich countries. We find that the presence of active mines in firms' immediate vicinity (20 km) deteriorates the business environment in tradeable sectors. Access...

In this paper we estimate price and substitution elasticity among inputs in the maquiladora industry located at the north border of Mexico. We postulate and estimate a three inputs (labor, materials, and capital) translog production function. We further test our model for functional...
