Between the years 2005-06 and 2015-16, more than 52 million workers left agriculture, which did not have any effect on agricultural output due to productivity improvements. We estimate the contribution of productivity growth and structural change in agriculture to national productivity growth during 1981-2016. We estimate differentials in agricultural productivity and in their ability to contribute to the structural change process for 21 major states of India. Using revised employment estimates, we trace major changes during the pre-reforms (before 1991) and post-reforms periods. Results show that in the pre-reforms period, the impact of productivity improvements in agriculture on agricultural output was equated by the new workforce entering into this sector, leading to a stagnant labor productivity trend. The labor-shift from agriculture during the early years of the post-reforms period, which increased further in the next decade, has led to a consistent rise in agricultural productivity. In the absence of reforms and the associated labor shift, the productivity growth in Indian agriculture would have been much lower. A similar labor shift during the last decade has not affected agricultural output, which has risen more rapidly. This result holds true for almost all states studied. There exists a positive relation between labor-shift and agricultural output in a cluster of states. Decomposition results indicate â€˜within-sectorâ€™ productivity growth is the major source of overall growth, with a rising contribution of â€˜structural changeâ€™. Studying the sources of growth across states offers new scope to achieve inter-sectoral productivity convergence.","PeriodicalId":320822,"journal":{"name":"Development Economics: Agriculture","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125451699","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}

Vatsa, Saurabh Chandra","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3564223","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3564223","url":null,"abstract":"Pollution of freshwater sources is a major problem in many developing economies. Environmental norms mandate that Industrial wastewater must be treated before releasing it in the environment or recycling. Apart from large enterprises, many medium and small-scale enterprises use water for industrial purposes. However, many of these enterprises do not have enough financial resources to set up their own wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Government policies encourage establishing a common set of WWTPs that can service all the enterprises in an industrial cluster and will be more economical to operate. We formulate the problem of locating WWTPs of appropriate sizes and allocating polluting firms to them as a Mixed Integer Non-linear Program (MINLP). The model minimizes the setup cost and the operating cost for the network of WWTPs. For the operating cost, empirical evidence shows that there exist economies of scale with wastewater volume and dis-economies of scale with pollutant concentration. Hence, the operating cost function is non-convex. We provide an exact convexification strategy for this problem. Still, the commercial solvers are unable to solve practical size instances. Therefore, we propose a Generalized Benders decomposition based algorithm with many refinements. We exploit the structure of the problem to solve the sub-problem very efficiently. Our proposed method can solve this MINLP much more efficiently than commercial solvers.","PeriodicalId":320822,"journal":{"name":"Development Economics: Agriculture","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131322514","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 economies of most sub-Saharan African countries who for the past three years have been under the IMF economic partnership program may have to develop extra muscles to face the continues drop in commodity prices most especially crude oil. The continuous spread of COVID-19 seems to be the major external economic compass on which all a sundry rely for the market orientation. Oil prices have plummeted as the Coronavirus has intensified across much of Europe and North America. The Energy Information Agency (EIA) has revised down its global oil demand forecast, which suggests that major importers such as China as well as European countries will reduce demand for oil. The latter has followed the trend of industrial production, which has slowed as manufacturing of waxes, perfumes, dyes, shaving creams, shampoos and conditioners that rely on refined oil have been disrupted by the virus. As such, Brent and WTI both fell by 24.59% and 30% to $31.13 and $30 per barrel respectively on Monday, March 9th. Not only has the virus halted manufacturing supply chains in China, but it has also exacerbated the global cyclical slowdown, with both Euro Area and German industrial production plummeting in recent months.","PeriodicalId":320822,"journal":{"name":"Development Economics: Agriculture","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130087243","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}
