While the rise of GSCs poses new opportunities and challenges to workers, its impacts have yet to be fully understood. Building on a growing body of literature on GSCs and labour standards, this paper examines how the emergence and change of the fragmented cross-national production system affects social upgrading in developing countries, focusing on the impact of private governance on labour conditions and workers’ rights. It discusses emerging trends in GSCs during the post-crisis period and their impacts on social upgrading, highlighting the unevenness of social upgrading and the role of global buyers in the differentiation of labour conditions among workers. The paper discusses the role of private voluntary standards in governing labour relations in GSCs, and their limitations and tensions with buyers’ purchasing practices. It concludes with a discussion of the future of labour governance in GSCs in terms of improving the effectiveness of private governance and building a complementary and synergistic relationship across private, public and social governance for sustainable economic and social upgrading in GSCs.","PeriodicalId":12584,"journal":{"name":"Global Commodity Issues eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88226706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent pledges by large banks and institutional investors have reached levels that have the potential to contribute markedly to a low carbon transition. This paper traces the impact of green finance in a multiregional global general equilibrium model with non-fossil and non-coal segments of financial flows in addition to the usual unconstrained market for funding. Our high green finance scenario reflects a reasonable upscaling of current level of pledges towards 2030. The study shows that green finance shifts the investments towards industries generating more value added and increasing GDP, future savings and investments. The green finance leads to a lower return on investments and a transfer of income from investors to wage income. Russia and China see the largest cost increase in coal investments due to constraints on finance for fossil industries. The green finance reduces coal consumption by 2.5 per cent below BAU in 2030 and raises the share of non-fossil electricity from 42 to 46 per cent at the global level. Over the whole period towards 2030, the green finance avoids global CO2 emissions corresponding to the total emissions of European Union and Japan in a recent year.","PeriodicalId":12584,"journal":{"name":"Global Commodity Issues eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89505677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More specifically, our paper is most closely related to those documenting the importance of the links between Islamic capital markets and commodities. To this end, we focus on the dynamics of the correlations between commodities and Islamic indexes. From a methodological viewpoint, we start this paper by examining the approaches of EC-GARCH and DCC-GARCH, which allow us to assess, respectively, the causality and how the correlations between commodity and stock returns evolve over time. To test our models empirically, we build a daily data set, consisting of commodity and stock prices. The sample period used in this paper is May 19, 2010 – February 14, 2014. Our empirical evidence supports the view that volatilities of commodity returns are strongly correlated to those of Islamic indexes. In fact, correlations between commodity and Islamic stock markets are time-varying and highly volatile. Our paper contributes importantly to the empirical literature dealing with the links between commodity and stock markets and the literature supporting the financialization of commodity markets.","PeriodicalId":12584,"journal":{"name":"Global Commodity Issues eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88546988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study adopted the mixed-method-approach using qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis techniques. The qualitative research comprised of focus group discussions and interviews conducted whilst the quantitative research made use of a survey questionnaire administered to a sample size of one hundred and fifteen(115) respondents. The Pearson correlation coefficients showed that correlations exist among the paired variables whereas controlling one variable (actor) had little or no effect on the strength of the relationships. Majority of respondents believed that it is the farmers who decide what is to be produced whilst a few respondents believed that it is the consumers who determine what is to be produced in the guinea fowl value chain. A narrow majority of the respondents strongly agreed with the assertion that guinea fowl production is a very lucrative business. The findings established that NGOs played supporting roles along the value chain. The study recommended a holistic and proactive approach to designing support programmes to salvage the guinea fowl value chain in the Upper East Region.","PeriodicalId":12584,"journal":{"name":"Global Commodity Issues eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78705318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
