Certified organic agriculture stipulates a range of principles and standards, which govern farmer practices. The recent global
expansion of organic agriculture has raised new challenges for organic agriculture, particularly whether management practices in
organic farms are subject to the forces of conventionalisation. We studied changes in agroecological practices in certified organic
farms in China, Brazil and Egypt. The study takes departure in the conventionalisation hypothesis and the analysis is framed using
organic and agroecological principles. The study focuses on agroecological design principles, inherent to organic agriculture, of
diversity in crop production, pest, disease and weed management, and soil fertility management. The research design...

Demanda e intensidade do uso de materiais básicos em economias recentemente industrializadas.
Provedor de dados: 119
Autores: SANTOS, D. T. dos.
Esta tese tem o objetivo de avaliar a evolução do dinamismo de longo prazo da demanda de materiais básicos de uso industrial,
ocasionado pelo crescimento de alguns países recentemente industrializados, principalmente a China. A hipótese subjacente é que
o dinamismo da demanda de materiais varia segundo o nível de desenvolvimento econômico. Um dos efeitos do crescimento
chinês sobre a economia brasileira foi o reforço da inserção na economia mundial por meio da oferta de commodities básicas.
Apesar dos fortes efeitos dinamizadores que o crescimento da demanda desses materiais tem exercido neste início de século sobre
várias economias produtoras desses bens, permanece a interrogação sobre a continuidade no longo prazo desse movimento. A
experiência histórica...

An unusual long-tailed pterosaur with elongated neck from western Liaoning of China
Provedor de dados: 42
Autores: Wang,Xiaolin; Kellner,Alexander W.A.; Jiang,Shunxing; Meng,Xi.
A new long-tailed pterosaur, Wukongopterus lii gen. et sp. nov, is described based on an almost complete skeleton (IVPP
V15113) representing an individual with an estimated wing span of 730 mm. The specimen was discovered in strata that possibly
represent the Daohugou Bed (or Daohugou Formation) at Linglongta, Jianchang, Liaoning Province, China. Wukongopterus lii is
a non-pterodactyloid pterosaur diagnosed by the first two pairs of premaxillary teeth protruding beyond the dentary, elongated
cervical vertebrae (convergent with Pterodactyloidea), and a strongly curved second pedal phalanx of the fifth toe. The specimen
further has a broken tibia that indicates an injury occurred while the individual was still alive. Taphonomic aspects provide

A nearly complete skull of a new ctenochasmatid pterosaur, Pterofiltus qiui gen. et sp. nov., from the Lower Cretaceous deposits
of Liaoning, China, is described here. The specimen (IVPP V12339), was collected from the shale of the lower Yixian Formation
(125 Ma) at the Zhangjiagou locality. It has the following combination of characters: about 112 teeth in total (including the upper
and lower jaws); the dentition occupies more than 50% of the skull length; the anterior teeth vary in size; the mandibular
symphysis is longer than half of the whole mandible length; in ventral view, an apparent symphyseal trough in the median part of
the symphysis.

The counterpart of a previously described non-pterodactyloid pterosaur with an egg revealed the presence of a second egg inside
the body cavity of this gravid female. It clearly shows that pterosaurs had two functional oviducts and demonstrates that the
reduction of one oviduct was not a prerequisite for developing powered flight, at least in this group. Compositional analysis of one
egg suggests the lack of a hard external layer of calcium carbonate. Histological sections of one femur lack medullary bone and
further demonstrate that this pterosaur reached reproductive maturity before skeletal maturity. This study shows that pterosaurs
laid eggs even smaller than previously thought and had a reproductive strategy more similar to basal reptiles than to...

Two almost complete long-tailed pterosaurs from the Linglongta, Jianchang County, western Liaoning, China, are described and
represent new taxa referred to the non-pterodactyloid clade Wukongopteridae. Kunpengopterus sinensis gen. et sp. nov. differs
from other members of this clade mainly by the rounded posterior region of the skull, thick lacrimal process of the jugal and lack
of a bony premaxillary crest. This species further shows a soft tissue crest above the frontal, a comparatively larger wing finger,
and the proximal segment of the second pedal phalanx of the fifth toe shorter than in other wukongopterids. The second new
species is referred to the genus Darwinopterus, D. linglongtaensis sp. nov. based on the posterior region of the skull. It...

Y chromosomal STRs show sufficient variability among individduals in a population and a high degree of geographical
differentiation, such that their polymorphic character makes them especially suited for population genetic studies. To investígate
the polymorphism of a set of 17 Y-STR loci in northern China, we genotyped the 17 Y chromosomal STR loci in a population
sample of 377 unrelated males from eight ethnic populations in northern China. We calculated the haplotype frequencies, Rst
value and carried out the analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA). We then drew the multidimensional scaling analysis (MDS)

No differences ingenetic diversity of Cotoneaster franchetii (Rosaceae) shrubs betweennative and
non-native ranges
Provedor de dados: 51
Autores: Lett,Irene; Hensen,Isabell; Hirsch,Heidi; Renison,Daniel.
It is commonly assumed that plants have more genetic diversity in their native range than in areas where they have been
introduced due to founder effects. However, few studies have proven this assumption and included the comparison between
non-native and native ranges. We analyzed AFLP fingerprint patterns of 149 individuals from five native (China) and five
non-native (Argentina) populations of Cotoneaster franchetii, a shrub which successfully invades different habitats and forms
extensive monospecific stands. We compared genetic diversity estimates and assessed genetic differentiation among populations
by inspecting FST values and conducting a PCoA, an AMOVA and a Mantel test. No evidence was found for reduced genetic
diversity in non-native populations...

China is undergoing economic growth and expansion to a free market economy at a scale and pace that are unprecedented in
human history. This is placing great pressure on the country’s environment and cultural diversity. This paper
examines a number of case histories in China, focusing on the culturally varied and ecologically diverse southwest region of the
country. We show how developments in recent Chinese history have devalued and in some cases eliminated indigenous
knowledge and practices in the quest to strengthen the centralized state. Despite these changes, more than 30 ethnic minorities live
in southwest China. For generations these peoples have maintained landscapes through traditional land use and cultural practices.

Food safety issues in China have received much scholarly attention, yet few studies systematically examined this matter through
the lens of trust. More importantly, little is known about the transformation of different types of trust in the dynamic process of
food production, provision, and consumption. We consider trust as an evolving interdependent relationship between different
actors. We used the Beijing County Fair, a prominent ecological farmers’ market in China, as an example to examine
the transformation of trust in China’s alternative food networks. We argue that although there has been a disruption
of institutional trust among the general public since 2008 when the melamine-tainted milk scandal broke out, reconstruction of...

China and Vietnam have developed some of the most ambitious payments for ecosystem services (PES) initiatives for watershed
conservation and forest management. These include the Sloping Land Conversion Programme in China and pilot projects
designed to implement Decision 380 and the subsequent national PES law in Vietnam. This study reviews how these two
government-driven initiatives are achieving their environment and development objectives in terms of their institutional
arrangements, implementation in practice, and sustainability prospects. Although it remains too soon to determine the effects of
these programs on watershed services, early evidence indicates that they are resulting in vulnerable land being retired from

Increasingly, the world is becoming socioeconomically and environmentally connected, but many studies have focused on
human-environment interactions within a particular area. Although some studies have considered the impacts of external factors,
there is little research on multiple reciprocal socioeconomic and environmental interactions between a focal area and other areas.
Here we address this important knowledge gap by applying the new integrated framework of telecouplings (socioeconomic and
environmental interactions between two or more areas over distances). Results show that even a protected area - i.e., the Wolong

Methemoglobin (Hb-M) is a rare hemoglobinopathy in China. We hereby report on a family living in Yantai, East China, with
congenital cyanosis due to Hb-M mutation. The proband, a 65-year-old female, presented 63% oxygen saturation. Both Hb-M
concentration and arterial oxygen saturation remained unchanged, even following intravenous treatment with methylene blue.
There was also no change in blood-color (chocolate-brown) after adding 0.1% KCN. A fast-moving band (Hb-X) in hemolysates
was found by cellulose acetate electrophoresis, the Hb-X/Hb-A ratio exceeding 10%. GT transition at 131nt of exon 2, although

How do consumers perceive organic food from different geographic origins? Evidence from Hong
Kong and Shanghai
Provedor de dados: 105
Autores: Yip, Liz; Janssen, Meike.
The objective of this paper is to understand how Chinese consumers perceive certified organic food, especially the differences
between locally and nationally produced organic food compared to food produced overseas. In 2012, a consumer survey was
conducted at supermarkets in Hong Kong and Shanghai (N=245). Participants were asked for their perception on four different
food origins: locally produced organic food, organic food from China, imported organic food, and locally produced conventional
food. Consumers in Hong Kong had a positive attitude towards local organic food and imported organic food. However, they were
sceptical about organic food from China, in particular regarding chemical residues and the trustworthiness of producers.

Salisapiliaceae – a new family of oomycetes from marsh grass litter of southeastern North America
Provedor de dados: 16
Autores: Hulvey, J.; Telle, S.; Nigrelli, L.; Lamour, K.; Thines, M.
Leptographium spp. are anamorphs of Grosmannia residing in the order Ophiostomatales. These fungi are typically associated
with bark-beetles and are common causal agents of sapstain in lumber and some are important tree pathogens. In this study,
Leptographium spp. associated with bark beetles collected during a survey in Jilin and Yunnan provinces of China, were
identified. Identifications were achieved using comparisons of morphological characters and DNA sequence data for the
ITS2-partial LSU rDNA region, as well as the β-tubulin and EF-1α gene regions. Eight unknown species of Leptographium are
recognised and described from conifer and hardwood hosts, associated with beetles including Ips subelongatus, Tomicus
yunnanensis, Hylurgops minor, Polygraphus...

Notes on some Chinese and Himalayan Cordulegastridae (Insecta: Odonata: Anisoptera)
Provedor de dados: 16
Autores: Pelt, G.J. van.
East Palaearctic Cordulegastridae from the former Lieftinck collection are identified. Two Neallogaster species are described and
figured. Neallogaster is supposed to consist of two speciesgroups. Cordulegaster lunifera and C. pekinensis are redescribed and
figured. A single female from Central China belongs to C. jinensis. It is assumed that these three Cordulegaster species belong to a
separate supraspecific taxon. A single male Cordulegaster from 'Tsingtau" is not conspecific with other cordulegastrids known
from China; it resembles the European C. boltonii and will be described as a new species in a revision of the C. boltonii
species-group. It is emphasized that the cordulegastrid fauna of the East Palaearctic is still insufficiently known.

A new species of Herpetospermum (Schizopeponeae, Cucurbitaceae) is described from north-eastern India, northern Myanmar
and southwest China (Xizang and Yunnan). Herpetospermum operculatum was previously confused with Herpetospermum (=
Biswarea) tonglense, but differs primarily in having smooth yellow-striped fruit with operculum at stylar end, ascendent seed
arrangement in fruit and prominent probracts and bracts. At least a part of the collections of Herpetospermum tonglense in
Myanmar and China represent misidentification of this species.

Early to Middle Pleistocene Hystrix material in the collections of the IVPP in Beijing, has been biometrically studied and
compared with other fossil and extant species. The specimens are from Zhoukoudian (Beijing), the Liucheng Gigantopithecus
cave (Guangxi) and other caves in that province, the Wazhuwan and Yanhui Cave (Guizhou) and from Longgupo (Sichuan). None
of the fossil specimens can be allocated to the extant Chinese Hystrix brachyura subcristata Swinhoe, 1870, subgenus Acanthion
F. Cuvier, 1823. Most of the collections studied consist of a mixture of two species with overlapping size ranges. Cheek teeth of
most Hystrix species do not show diagnostic characters other than size, so not every one of them can be assigned with certainty to
the larger...

A lower premolar from the Longgupo Cave, Sichuan, China and three lower premolars from the Liucheng Gigantopithecus Cave,
Guangxi, are described as Hystrix zhengi n. sp. The localities Longgupo and Liucheng are of Early Nihewanian age, which
correlates with the Late Pliocene (Villanyian) of Europe. The specimens are considered to represent a late occurrence of a
brachyodont species, agreeing with the replacement of brachyodont Hystrix species by hypsodont ones in Europe during the Late
Pliocene.

cup-shaped purplish red flowers. Magnolia cylindrica var. purpurascens occurs in secondary forests of Jingning and Songyang
counties of southern Zhejiang province. It differs from the typical variety, M. cylindrica var. cylindrica, in the cup-shaped flowers
of purplish red colour. The two new varieties are distinct in their distributions in both cases but share the chromosome...

After the description of new species of Cordulegastridae from China by Zhou (1988) and Zhu & Han (1992), additional
specimens have been described by van Pelt (1993) and Lohmann (1993). In this paper additional material of Anotogaster
cornutifrons Lohmann, 1993, is reported upon. Neallogaster lieftincki Lohmann, 1993, is synonymized with Cordulegaster
jinensis Zhu & Han, 1992. Some further comments are made on Lohmann's paper. A single male from Tsingtau (Ch'ing-tao,
Shantung, NE China) is described as Cordulegaster (mentalis spec. nov., being the sole representative of the C. boltonii (Donovan,

Trifurcula (Glaucolepis) melanoptera sp. n. is described from southern Europe, where it is widespread. It is closely related to the
Central Asian T. (Glaucolepis) raikhonae Puplesis, which is redescribed. Together they form the raikhonae species group.
Sinopticula Yang is here synonymized with Glaucolepis Braun, its only species S. sinica Yang is tentatively regarded as closely
related, if not conspecific with T. raikhonae. The distribution is mapped. On the basis of recent Chinese findings the larvae are
assumed to be gall-makers on Prunus branches. Some phylogenetic and biogeographic remarks are given.

Notes on Cordulegaster Leach, and Neallogaster Cowley, from China, and the identity of Anotogaster
annandalei Fraser (Insecta: Odonata: Anisoptera: Cordulegastridae)
Provedor de dados: 16
Autores: Pelt, G.J. van.
A translation of the Chinese description of a female of Neallogaster annandalei (Fraser, 1923), by Zhou (1988) is given and
compared with the original description of Anotogaster annandalei. It is concluded that this species should be included in the genus
Cordulegaster. A translation of the original Chinese descriptions of Cordulegaster jinensis Zhu & Han, 1992, and
Neallogaster choui Yang & Li, 1994, is presented. It is suggested that the two species are conspecific. Material of
"Cordulegaster luniferous var. annandalei Klots, 1947" from Yunnan is identified as Neallogaster latifrons Selys, 1878 (?), by
which the presence of Neallogaster in China is confirmed.

The low-crowned Hystrix species known of the Neogene from Europe and Asia and some new finds from Shihuiba near Lufeng,
South China, are compared on the basis of numerical data. The taxonomical allocation of the seven species recognised thus far is
maintained. The occurrences of two coeval Eurasian late Turolian species is discussed. The material from Lufeng is described and
allocated to Hystrix primigenia (Wagner, 1848), implicating an area of distribution of this species from S.E. Europe to S.E. Asia
in the Turolian. In the northern Chinese Hystricidae the increase of the cheek tooth height is more advanced than in the the West

A small fig tree has been misidentified as Ficus orthoneura for a long time. However, morphologically it is distinct from F.
orthoneura and F. hookeriana. Typical are the ellipsoid, puberulous receptacle and caducous basal bracts. Leaf anatomy shows a
multiple epidermis with the cells in the inner layer much larger than in the outer layer and thus both layers resemble an epidermis
with a separate hypodermis. The abaxial cuticle is strongly sculptured, the palisade layer shows some long subdivided cells, and
enlarged lithocysts are only present abaxially. Because of these differences we hereby describe it as a new species, named in
honour of Cornelis (Cees) Berg: Ficus cornelisiana.

Decline in the productivity of Eucalyptus hybrid cutting production in the Guangdong Province of China is linked to cutting rot
associated with several Calonectria spp. The aim of this study was to identify these fungi using morphological and DNA sequence
comparisons. Two previously undescribed Calonectria spp., Ca. pseudoreteaudii sp. nov. and Ca. cerciana sp. nov. were identified
together with Ca. pauciramosa. Calonectria pseudoreteaudii resides in the Ca. reteaudii complex and Ca. cerciana is closely
related to Ca. morganii. Connected to the discovery of Ca. pseudoreteaudii, species in the Ca. reteaudii complex were
re-considered and the group is shown to accommodate two cryptic species. These originate from Australia and are described as

A molecular epidemiological survey on Theileria orientalis was conducted in a cattle population of Fujian province in China. The
screening polymerase chain reaction assay showed that 23 (45%) of 51 blood samples were positive for T. orientalis. DNA
sequencing of the major piroplasm surface antigen-encoding gene indicated the presence of 3 different genotypes in the study
area(types 1，2，and 5) and identified T. orientalis types 1 and 2 as the major genotypes in the sample population. Because type
2 (Ikeda type in Japan) has been recognized as a relatively virulent genotype of T. orientalis，control and preventive measures to
minimize the incidence of infectious diseases among cattle bred in China are necessary.

Low among-population genetic differentiation in Chinese bisexual <i>Artemia</i>
populations

Autores: Naihong, X.; Audenaert, E.; Vanoverbeke, J.; Brendonck, L.; Sorgeloos, P.; De Meester, L.
We studied the population genetic structure of nine bisexual <i>Artemia sinica</i> populations from the provinces of
Inner Mongolia, Shanxi and Qinghai in China, using variation at nine allozyme loci (cellulose acetate electrophoresis). There is a
clear-cut tendency for an increase in genetic variation, as measured by heterozygosity, with increasing habitat size. Although we
observe a positive relationship between genetic differentiation and geographical distance, overall F-ST values are low: populations
separated by approximately 1000 km show average F-ST values of 0.05-0.1, whereas populations separated by 100 km show no
genetic differentiation at all.

Organic food has been described as the world’s fastest growing food sector, and many countries have now set targets for
conversion to Organic Agriculture. The stated goal of the organic movement is the adoption worldwide of Organic Agriculture.
That task has a long path to travel, with Organic Agriculture currently accounting for 1.8% of worldwide agricultural land. One
strategy for success in any endeavour, is: find out who "the winners” are, identify what they are doing, and do that; and there is a
corollary to this maxim. Which countries are leaders in the adoption of Organic Agriculture? In the absence of a single
comprehensive index of organic-ness, this paper identifies 12 indices of organic-ness, and presents the leadership by country, for

The making of an agricultural classic: Farmers of Forty Centuries or Permanent Agriculture in

Few agriculture books achieve the status of ‘classic’. F. H. King’s book Farmers of Forty Centuries or Permanent Agriculture in
China, Korea and Japan was privately published in Wisconsin, USA, in 1911. The book had an in-auspicious start, and the
longevity and acclaim that this book has since achieved must have been, then, barely conceivable. The author was dead, the book
was incomplete, and there was no commercial publisher. Yet through a combination of perhaps luck and circumstance the book
was ‘resurrected’ in 1927 by a London publisher, Jonathan Cape, who then kept it in print for more than two decades. The London
issue of King’s book was favorably cited in the 1930s and 1940s by leading agriculture and organic agriculture writers including:

Jahrzehntelang hatte das Landwirtschaftsministerium der VR China jegliche Bestrebungen, die möglicherweise gesündere,
umweltfreundliche Produkte hervorbringen, aber auch zu Ertragseinbußen führen könnten, mit Skepsis betrachtet und im
Zweifelsfall blockiert. Priorität hatte die Versorgung einer Milliardenbevölkerung bei Nutzung einer vergleichsweise kleinen und
dazu schrumpfenden landwirtschaftlichen Nutzfläche. Im Zuge der „Grünen Revolution“ konnten erhebliche Ertragssteigerungen
erreicht werden. Doch zahlt die weltweit führende Nation bei Produktion und Verbrauch von Agrarchemikalien dafür einen
hohen Preis. Immer häufiger wird über vergiftete Gewässer, erheblich mit Schadstoffen belastete Lebensmittel und den Anstieg

On the basis of the analytical frame of discrimination, the thesis establishes a model of transfer of rural labour forces into city, and
researches the impact of rural labour forces transfer on urban-rural income. The results show that the transfer of rural labour
forces into city can increase urban-rural income and bridge the income gap between city and village to a certain extent. However,
the capital stock of city in China is greatly more than that of the village, so the rural labour forces transfer cannot eliminate the
urban-rural income gap completely. In order to elevate the rural income level in China and narrow urban-rural income gap, the
government should paint a picture with two brushes at the same time: on one hand, the government should promote...

Private R&D is a major source of innovation and productivity growth in agriculture worldwide. This paper examines trends
and determinants of agricultural R&D in China. Results show that while the public sector monopolized agricultural research
until recently, private agricultural R&D has grown rapidly since 2000, driven largely by agribusiness privatization.
Public-sector R&D investments in basic research also encouraged private R&D research, but public investments in
technology development crowded out private R&D investment. China’s private R&D investment would grow more
rapidly if the government shifted public resources from technology development to basic research.

Land is the fundamental income sources for farmers. However, farmers stay in disadvantaged state in the political, economic and
social aspects. Their land is exploited and occupied, which facilitates the rapid development of economy, as well as brings the gap
between the poor and the rich and the inharmonious disputes. The necessity for protecting the land right of farmers under the new
situation is expounded, covering the necessity of carrying out the relevant agricultural policies; the necessity of improving rural
economic status and narrowing the gap between urban and rural areas; the necessity of reducing land disputes and constructing
harmonious society. The violation of farmers’ land rights is analyzed from two aspects. The first one is the violation...

The Impact of Ownership Structure on the Performance of China's Feed Mill Sector
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fabiosa,

In the decade of the 1990s, China's feed sector became increasingly privatized, more feed mills opened, and the scale of operation
expanded. Capacity utilization remained low and multi-ministerial supervision was still prevalent, but the feed mill sector showed
a positive performance overall, posting a growth rate of 11 percent per year. Profit margin over sales was within allowable rates
set by the government of China at 3 to 5 percent. Financial efficiency improved, with a 20 percent quicker turnover of working
capital. Average technical efficiency was 0.805, as more efficient feed mills increasingly gained production shares. This study
finds evidence that the increasing privatization explains the improved performance of the commercial feed mill sector....

Credit markets are an essential economic institution. In developing countries, particularly in countries undergoing rapid social and
economic transition, it is important to identify emerging credit demand and institute credit supply in a timely manner to facilitate
economic transformation. This research focuses on the evolving rural credit market in China, where borrowing from the social
network has been common but the recent economic transition has made this informal credit market inadequate in addressing rural
credit needs. This research is aimed at identifying the social and economic factors that explain the farmers’ credit constraint and
influence farmers’ decisions to switch from informal to formal credit markets. Using data from a household survey,...

Our results suggest that the anticipated path of China's Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions has dramatically increased over the last
five years. The magnitude of the projected increase in Chinese emissions out to 2015 is several times larger than reductions
embodied in the Kyoto Protocol. Our estimates are based on a unique provincial level panel data set from the Chinese
Environmental Protection Agency. This dataset contains considerably more information relevant to the path of likely Chinese
greenhouse gas emissions than national level time series models currently in use. Model selection criteria clearly reject the
popular static environmental Kuznets curve specification in favor of a class of dynamic models with spatial dependence.

This paper examined China’s agricultural imports in regard to income growth, import price changes, and tariff reductions due to
China’s trade liberalisation. More specifically, it attempted to model behavioural relationships in the agricultural trade between
China and the EU by using annual trade data from 1986 to 2005. Econometric models were constructed for six agricultural
products exported from the EU to China – frozen pigmeat, frozen fish, whey, barley, beer, and wine. The results indicated that
China’s agricultural imports on a product basis are insensitive to absolute price changes. Therefore, the examination of the price

Begins by considering trends in the incidence of rural poverty in China, comparing China and India. Although the incidence of
rural poverty in China declined generally, such poverty is still a matter for concern, especially now that China has joined the
WTO. There is concern about the possible impact of China’s WTO entry on its rural poverty and its ability to adopt policies to
address it. Recent international studies of such poverty in China by bodies such as the World Bank, OECD, ADB and IFPRI are
outlined and reviewed critically with these economic issues in mind. The most recent study by Anderson and others suggests that
China’s agriculture will be forced to undertake more structural adjustment than forecast in earlier studies. The Chinese policies

This research attempts to investigate the impacts of monetary variables (such as money supply and interest rates) on food prices in
China using a vector error correction (VEC) model approach. Evidence indicates that monetary variables and the food price
index (FPI) have a long-run equilibrium relationship in China. Furthermore, the direction of Granger-causality moves from the
money supply to the FPI and then to interest rates, rather than the reverse. Monetary impacts on food prices in China mainly
stem from the money supply rather than interest rates.

China's record in reducing rural poverty has been nothing short of spectacular and should be a source of lessons for other
countries. Rural poverty reduction is generally sought in the role of agriculture in contributing to farm incomes. However,
non-farm employment in rural areas can also be a major contributor. Using detailed household survey data from Hubei province,
we simulate the counterfactual of what rural households' incomes, poverty, and inequality would be in the absence of access to
non-farm sources of income. Results show that, without non-farm employment, rural poverty would be much higher and deeper,
and that income inequality would be higher as well. We find that education, proximity to town, neighborhood effects, and village

From the perspective of supply chain of agricultural products, by establishing Stackelberg game model based on triple supply
chain, this paper researches the price formation and profit distribution mechanism of agricultural products under circumstance of
non-cooperation and cooperation. The results show the main factors responsible for the hiking of prices of agricultural products as
follows: the cost of agricultural products climbs incessantly; the circulation cost hovers at high level; the factor inputs of
agricultural products are short; inflation pressure is incessantly mounting; the profit distribution of supply chain is irrational.
Finally, corresponding countermeasures are put forward.

The on-farm impact of alternative grazing management options to improve sustainability in western
Chinese grasslands
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jones,
Randall E.; Kemp,
David R.; Michalk,
David; Takahashi,
Taro.
Chinese grasslands are suffering considerable pressures from human and livestock populations. It has been estimated that 90% of
Chinese grasslands are suffering from light to heavy levels of degradation. Allied to this is the low household income of herders
and farmers dependant upon livestock products for their livelihood. Although a range of reasons have been proposed for the high
levels of grassland degradation, principal among these are the high stocking rates adopted by farmers. This not only results in high
utilisation rates of the pasture biomass, leading to bare areas and soil erosion, but individual animal productivity rates also decline.
This paper presents the results of a modelling study of a grassland system in Gansu Province and Inner...

Introduction: As folate deficiency is mainly caused by the dependency on folate-poor staple crops, such as rice, the
implementation of rice with a high level of natural folate could be a successful pro-rural and pro-poor intervention strategy to
reduce folate deficiencies in China, where about 260 million people are considered to be folate deficient. Consuming folate
biofortified rice instead of conventional rice could prevent someone from negative health outcomes of folate deficiency, such as
megaloblastic aneamia and neural-tube defects. Especially for poor Chinese women of childbearing age, folate biofortification
could be important to prevent them from having a baby with a neural-tube defect, the main adverse health outcome. As Northern

China’s sustained rapid economic growth and development has contributed to the surge in consumption and production of
livestock in that country termed the livestock revolution. Consumption trends are first reviewed, and changes in food consumption
patterns include a marked shift away from grains and towards meats and dairy products. A question is to what extent this rapid
increase in demand for livestock products is reflected in China’s agri-food trade statistics? While her agri-food imports have
dramatically increased since China’s accession to the WTO, livestock products have not made a noticeable contribution, although
the import of certain animal feedstuffs has. This implies China’s continuing self-sufficiency in most livestock products. The paper

Gender Difference in the Long-Term Impact of Famine

An increasing literature examines the association between restricted fetal or early childhood growth and the incidence of diseases
in adulthood. Little is known, however, about gender difference in this association. We assess the impact of nutritional deficiency
in the early lives of survivors of the Chinese Great Famine in terms of health and economic welfare, paying special attention to
gender differences. We found evidence of several significant negative impacts for female--but not male--survivors, and the gender
differences are statistically significant. Furthermore, we show that the selection bias caused by differences in mortality plausibly
explains more than two-thirds of the documented gender difference in the long-term health of famine survivors.

We explore theoretically and empirically whether social interaction, including local and global interaction, influences the
incidence of corruption. We first present an interaction-based model on corruption that predicts that the level of corruption is
positively associated with social interaction. Then we empirically verify the theoretical prediction using within-country evidence
at the province-level in China during 1998 to 2007. Panel data evidence clearly indicates that social interaction has a statistically
significantly positive effect on the corruption rate in China. Our findings, therefore, underscore the relevance of social interaction
in understanding corruption.

but few studies of the actual effects thus far on China's trade performance. This paper compares changes in the competitiveness of
China's trade in primary agricultural food and processed food products over the period 1998 to 2003 through a range of
comparative advantage measures, the preferred being Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage. It also decomposes changes
in China's export market share of these products over the period into structural and performance components and identifies where
shifts in the global regional distribution of its exports have contributed to changes in its overall market share.

Connotation of land competitiveness is expatiated from both the narrow sense and broad sense. Evaluation index system of land
competitiveness is established according to the 2008 China Statistical Yearbook and 2008 China Land Resources Statistical
Yearbook. Efficiency Coefficient Method and Principal Component Analysis Method are used to evaluate the land
competitiveness of 31 provincial units in China. Result shows that in the year 2007, land competitiveness gradually decreases
from southeast to northwest. The land competitiveness and GDP per unit land have significant negative correlation. The rank of
approved new construction land has low positive correlation with the rank of land competitiveness in China. This indicates that

There has been a long debate in the theoretical and empirical economic circles on how host country's exports respond to inward
foreign direct investment (FDI). This paper examines whether FDI stimulates export performance of the recipient countries using
the case of China. It contributes to the literature by investigating the relationship of FDI and export performance using
disaggregated manufacturing sectors from 1995 to 2005. The empirical results suggest that FDI flows into China have statistically
significant and positive effects on its exports and it exhibits differences across sectors.

Poverty maps provide information on the spatial distribution of welfare and can predict poverty levels for small geographic units
like counties and townships. Typically regression methods are used to estimate coefficients from the detailed information in
household surveys, which are then applied to the more extensive coverage of a census. One problem with standard regression
techniques is that they do not take into account the ‗spatial dependencies‘ that often exist in the data. Ignoring spatial
autocorrelation in the regression providing the coefficient estimates could lead to misleading predictions of poverty, and estimates
of standard errors. Household survey data usually lack exact measures of location so it is not possible to fully account for this...

Rural households in China have traditionally consumed food mostly grown on their own farms. While they continue to rely on
self-produced grains, vegetables, meats, and eggs for a large portion of their diet, rural households are now purchasing more of
their food as they enter the mainstream of the Chinese economy. Cash purchases of food by rural Chinese households increased
7.4 percent per year from 1994 to 2003. Consumption has shifted from self-produced to purchased food at a rate faster than can be
explained by income growth or changes in other household characteristics. The move away from self-produced food is associated
with lower consumption of staple grains, the most important self produced food in rural Chinese diets. Food consumed away from

Asymmetric Response of Nutrient Intakes to Cereal Price Changes among the Poor in China:
Implications for the Effect of Cereal Price Subsidies on the Poor’s Nutrient Intakes
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Shimokawa,
Satoru.
Previous studies commonly assume that the effects of introducing and ending cereal price subsidies on the poor’s nutrient intakes
are symmetric. We question the assumption of symmetry and show that the poor’s nutrient intakes respond asymmetrically to
declines and increases in the price of cereal in China. Our results imply that introducing cereal price subsidies can increase the
poor’s total energy intake by increasing their calorie intakes from fat and protein, and that ending such subsidies would
insignificantly affect the poor’s total energy intake; however, it may further increase their calorie intakes from fat and protein.

The levels of support that trade and domestic farm policies afford to agriculture, and the related processes of policy reform
intended to improve the economic efficiency of agricultural production, processing, and marketing, are important issues for
developing countries. The effects of policy on agriculture are well documented for wealthy countries, especially by the established
and respected studies from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. However, systematic analysis is often
lacking for poor countries because of the difficulty and cost of measuring policy effects consistently over time and across
commodities. This study contributes to filling the existing research gap by examining the impacts of agricultural policies and

This study assesses how the transfer of rural labor to non-farm sectors affects China's national economy and the role the
agricultural sector plays with respect to rural-urban migration. Econometric models using official Chinese statistics are used to:
evaluate the marginal productivities of rural labor in agriculture versus non-agriculture; identify determinants of rural labor
transfer; and assess the socioeconomic impacts of these transfers. It is concluded that though agricultural growth stems problems
relating to over-urbanization, there are significant economic costs and undesirable social consequences associated with
under-urbanization. Gains brought about by flexibility in the transfer of rural labor to non rural labor include higher GDP and
reduced...

Recently, there has been considerable interest in estimating food demand structure in China due to its huge market for food
products. Previous literature has focused on the primary food products such as grains and meats, but studies on fruits and
vegetables are limited. To fulfill this gap, this paper investigates the changes of fruit and vegetable consumption in Chinese urban
households between 1993 and 2001. In this study, we use the difference-in-differences method with quantile regression to
demonstrate how these changes of fruit and vegetable consumption over time may differ across regions. Additionally, how these
changes may differ over the entire distribution. Using household survey data from 1993 and 2001 of three selected provinces, our

Sustainable Development and Intergenerational Equity: Issues Relevant to India and Globally

As outlined, recurring concerns have surfaced since the 1700s that economic growth may prove to be unsustainable. These
concerns have been expressed again and have intensified in recent decades but their foundation differs from that of Malthus. The
rapid economic growth of China and India have added to these worries. Recent discussions by economists of the desirability of
achieving sustainable economic development have mainly focused on measures to attain intergenerational equity in resource use
and the dominant view is that each succeeding generation should be at least as well-off as its predecessor. While this is said to be
an implication of Rawls’ principle of justice, this dominant rule does not fully reflect Rawls’ principle and it also can violate...

Recent growth in carbon dioxide emissions from China’s energy sector has exceeded expectations. In a major US government

of increase in China’s emissions.
We present a recalibration of one of those models to be consistent with both current
observations and historical development patterns. The implications of the new specification for the feasibility of commonly
discussed stabilization targets, particularly when considering incomplete global participation, are profound. Unless China’s
emissions begin to depart soon from their (newly projected) business-as-usual path, stringent stabilization goals may be
unattainable. The...

effective supervision and management mechanism. Since rural water conservancy facilities is used in small scale and has the
features of rural "acquaintances community", a balanced long-term interest mechanism for the management and maintenance of
rural water conservancy facilities is established for interest-related parties. On short-term view, the most effective measure is to

The traditional literature emphasizes the causal role of finance in promoting industrial growth. China’s rapid industrialization over

wisdom. By studying a cashmere sweater cluster in China, this paper argues that rural industrial clustering, as a new business
model, lowers the entry barriers of initial capital investment through the division of labor. Within these clusters, enterprises can
often acquire trade credits from upstream or downstream firms and obtain informal financing from friends and relatives, and use
these funds to mitigate constraints of working capital. These findings help explain China’s rapid...

Autores: Zhang,
ZhongXiang.
China has shifted control over resources and decision making to local governments and enterprises as the result of the economic
reforms over the past three decades. This devolution of decision-making to local levels and enterprises has placed environmental
stewardship in the hands of local officials and polluting enterprises who are more concerned with economic growth and profits
than the environment. Therefore, effective environmental protection needs their full cooperation. Against this background, this
paper discusses a variety of tactics that China’s central government has been using to incentivize local governments, and a number
of market-based instruments, supporting economic policies, environmental performance ratings and disclosure and cooperation...

Studies of total factor productivity in livestock production are rare, but when available provide useful information especially in the
context of developing countries such as China where livestock is becoming more important in the domestic agricultural economy.
We estimate total factor productivity (TFP) for four major livestock products in China and by employing the random coefficient
frontier approach, decompose productivity growth into its technical efficiency and technical progress components. Efforts were
made to adjust and augment the available livestock statistics. The results show that growth in TFP and its components varied
between the 1980s and the 1990s as well as over production structures. While there is evidence of considerable technical...

This article considers the relationship between democracy and economic growth in China using the Error-Correction Mechanism
test for cointegration, Autoregressive Distributed Lag modelling, Granger causality and dynamic modelling via variance
decomposition and impulse response analysis. Our main findings are that in the long run the lack of democracy in China has had a
statistically significant negative effect on real income, while in the short run democracy has had a statistically insignificant effect
on economic growth. Our results suggest that in the long run growth in capital, labour and democracy Granger cause economic
growth, while in the short run there is bi-directional Granger causality between democracy and economic growth.

Autores: Qu,
Xiao-juan.
Fishbone chart is used to analyze the status of the living ability of land-losing farmers, as well as its causation from the aspects of
system layer, social support network, land-losing farmer themselves, and economic layer. Result shows that the system layer
includes the unreasonable land compensation, the lack of social security for land-losing farmers, and the employment exclusion of
land-losing farmers. Small scale and low heterogeneity are the causations for social support network. Low willingness to become
citizens, low cultural quality and difficulty in role change are the causations of land-losing farmers themselves. The low expected
return and high living cost are the causations for economic layer. Based on the above analysis, countermeasures to...

Economic reform in China helped transform the structure and volume of agricultural production and resulted in significant
changes in efficiency and productivity. This paper measures agricultural technical efficiency (TE) and total factor productivity
(TFP) in China by allowing producers operating under their own technologies. A metafrontier function approach is applied using a
panel data set on 28 provinces during 1991-2005. The provinces are categorized into advanced- technology and low-technology
provinces. Based on the metafrontier estimation, TFP growth is decomposed into TE change (TEC), technical change (TC) and
scale efficiency change (SEC). This information is useful for policy makers to design suitable policies in enhancing agricultural
TE and TFP...

Whereas water is an important input in rice production, China faces severe problems with increasing demand for water and limited
water resources. In conventional paddy production, one of the most important irrigated crops, a significant amount of irrigation
water is lost due to percolation and evaporation. Therefore, it exist a vivid research in water saving rice technologies. This paper
analyzes the adoption of one of these water-saving rice production technologies, the so-called Ground Cover Rice Production
System (GCRPS), in the Hubei province. Based on farm survey data several factors which affect the adoption decision could be
identified. The adoption decision is treated as a binary choice problem and therefore a probit model is used for the...

This paper aims to examine the impacts of oil-price shocks on China’s price levels. To that end, we develop a partial transmission
input-output model that captures the uniqueness of the Chinese market. We hypothesize and simulate price control, market factors
and technology substitution - the three main factors that restrict the functioning of a price pass-through mechanism during
oil-price shocks. Using the models of both China and the U.S., we separate the impact of price control from those of other factors
leading to China’s price stickiness under oil-price shocks. The results show a sharp contrast between China and the U.S., with
price control in China significantly preventing oil-price shocks from spreading into its domestic inflation, especially in...

In the past three decades, Chinese electricity industry has experienced a series of regulatory reforms serving different purposes at
different stages. In 2002, the former vertically integrated electricity utility - the State Power Corporation (SPC) – was divested and
the generation sector was separated from the transmission and distribution networks in an effort to improve production efficiency.
In this paper we study the impact of the reform on efficiency of fossil-fired power plants using plant-level data during 2000-2008.
Our results from the data envelopment analysis (DEA) and panel regressions show that: 1) the total factor productivity (TFP)

Taking Jiangxi Province as an example, on the basis of the sampling survey on 42 counties and cities, 64 towns and 74 villages in
Jiangxi Province, the will of farmland transfer among different farmer groups with different income levels, different ages, and
different educational background, is analyzed. The research indicates that as for middle-income or high-income groups, leaving
home to seek jobs elsewhere is the most principal factor impacting farmland transfer, while as for low-income group, the price of
agricultural products is an important factor impacting farmers’ land cultivation; permanent urban residence certificate is no longer
the principal factor causing farmers’ land transfer, and it tends to be rational for farmers to abandon farmland.

Market-oriented policy reforms often have important effects on farm-level grain production and utilisation decisions in developing
countries. China’s grain farmers are of particular interest because of China’s importance in world grain markets and because of
China’s recent major agricultural policy advances and retrenchments. An empirical evaluation of market liberalisation among
farmers located in two provinces in China on farm-level wheat consumption, market sales and on-farm storage during 1994 is
presented. The results indicate that policymakers should account for such changes in farm household behaviour in designing and

assessed for two villages with different degrees of market access in Northeast Jiangxi Province. Two village-level general
equilibrium models are used to analyze household decision making and interactions between households within these villages.
Parameter estimation and model calibration is based on data collected during an extensive survey held in these villages in the year
2000. The household classification used in these models allows us to draw conclusions that are relevant for many other villages
and regions in China. Simulation results show that the income support policy does not reach its goal of promoting grain...

After providing information about the global importance of cotton as a textile and China’s and Australia’s contribution to global
cotton production, this paper examines and compares trends in the time-series of cotton production of China and Australia for the
period 1980-2007. In doing so, it takes account of changes in the area planted with cotton and its yield. Correlation estimates and
decomposition analysis are used to determine the relative contribution to variations in the total output of cotton of changes in the
total area planted with cotton and its yield in both countries. These relative contributions are found to be quite different for
Australia and China. In addition, there is a comparative analysis of fluctuations in the production of cotton,...

China has embarked on a major program to modernise agricultural and agribusiness structures with far reaching implications for
rural development, international competitiveness / trade and food safety. There are, however, few studies that examine in detail
how the modernisation program has proceeded, its’ sustainability and impacts. This paper aims to provide such as assessment
through a series of integrated budget analyses of participants in the modern, high value beef chain. The paper concludes that rather
than attempting to skip development phases by fast-tracking the development of modern structures in high-value agrifood chains,
China should pursue a more incremental and facilitative approach based around developing structures in mid-value agrifood...

China's Growth, World Food Prices, and Developing Countries Exports

This paper explores the impacts of China's growth in the international markets of agricultural products. These impacts are
important because they are related to two different ongoing discussions about the role of China in the world economy. One of
these discussions have to do with China as a source of price inflation while the other has to do with China as an engine of growth
for developing countries, in this case, through increased export opportunities. Our results suggest that China has been a source of
aggregated mild price inflation in the largest developed economies that occupy the first ranks as food importers. This is probably
related to a more intense pressure on world food supplies. When we look at the counterfactual exports of selected exporters,...

China's accession to the WTO means significant increases in export opportunities for China's trading partners. This study attempts
to identify and measure quantitatively the effects of changing economic environment and trade policies on China's agricultural
imports from the European Union (EU). The approach is to estimate demand functions for China's agri-food imports from the EU
using semi-annual data from 1980 to 2000. The demand functions are used to measure the impacts of relative-price and trade
policy changes on EU agricultural exports to China. The results suggest that in China, there is a relatively strong demand response
for agrifood imports to changes in income and prices. Furthermore, the results indicate that relative-price variations affect...

The overall aim of the present paper is to better understand the evolution of tubewell ownership in the North China Plain,
especially focusing on the factors that determine ownership and its effect on production. Based on a random sample of 30 villages
in three counties in the Hai River Basin, our results show that collectively owned tubewells have been gradually privatised. The
analyses demonstrate that increasing water and land scarcity and policy intervention (mainly fiscal and financial subsidies for
tubewell investment) leads to the observed shifts in tubewell ownership patterns. The results also show that the privatisation of
tubewells has affected cropping patterns in the North China Plain. When villages shift towards private tubewells, farmers move...

Informal credit markets are very active in many developing countries including China. Informal financial associations have
become a major channel of borrowing. Using data from the 2006 Rural Household Survey, this paper investigates farmers’
borrowings from both formal and informal sources with higher/lower interest, by looking into both demand and supply of loan.
Consistent with the theory and previous studies, age follows an inverted U-shaped pattern in its relationship with the probability of
borrowing from informal loan with higher interest. Our study shows that the impact of age disappears for the formal loan
participation. In addition, high income and saving imply lower credit constraints. Moreover, household and county characteristics
and financial...

This paper investigates the linkages between farmers’ machinery investment decision and off-farm employment in China. Both
the theoretical model and the empirical results based on a survey of 453 households in Anhui Province indicate that agricultural
labor input and small-size machinery investment are gross complements rather than substitutes when machinery service is
available in the market. Consequently, farmers with small machinery are more likely to reduce their off-time employment time.

trade, more investment in public research and education, strengthening intellectual property right (IPR) enforcement, and limiting
the role of foreign inventors. However, the role of the extension of patent life in the early 1990s has little impact. Theory and...

should be equal. As a result, labor productivity and consequently per capita income should be the same. Many have argued that
there should not be any distinction between rural and urban sectors. Indeed, there has been a growing interest in the development

Competition between the U.S. and West Africa in International Cotton Trade: A Focus on Import
Demand in China

We estimate the demand for imported cotton in China and assess the competitiveness of cotton-exporting countries. Given the
assertion that African cotton producers are ill affected by U.S. cotton subsidies, our focus is the price competition between the C4
countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad and Mali) and United States in China. Demand estimates are used to project how U.S.
prices affect China’s imports by country. In comparing demand projections, results show that the relationship between the United
States and the C4 has more to do with how U.S. prices can affect global prices rather than any substitute or competitive
relationship in the Chinese market.

The present study investigates the analysis of poverty persistence of Chinese farm households in the well-off Zhejiang province in
the southeast. We firstly apply an ordered probit model examining household, farm, and regional characteristics affecting the
probability that households are chronically poor. In addition, we apply a hazard approach to identify the risk of falling into and
climbing out of poverty. Results indicate that there are increasing chances to climb out of poverty over time, and that the risk of
falling into poverty seems to decrease after the household spent some time outside poverty.

products where no food safety issue exists as consumers lose trust in both foreign and domestic food safety institutions. While the
policy framework for dealing with directly effected imported foods is well understood, how to deal with the market failure
associated with indirectly affected products within the existing trade policy rules has not been explored. Using the example of

According to the data of practical GDP time sequences from 1978 to 2009 provided by Henan Statistical Yearbook of every year,
Hodrick-Prescott filter model is established, and it is disintegrated into tendency component (potential yield) and fluctuation
component (yield gap). The critical division loci of filter model are 4 wave crest years (1980, 1988, 1996 and 2007), and 3 trough
years (1984, 1992 and 2002). Thus since the opening up and reform, the economic growth fluctuation of Henan can be divided
into 3 complete cycles and 2 incomplete cycles. Based on the economic situation and background within and without province, we
preliminarily conclude the stage-characteristics of all growth cycles and the probable reasons of fluctuation. On the whole, the...

Households in developing countries take various actions to smooth income or consumption as a means of managing or responding
to risk. One of the principal means of smoothing income is through the diversification of income sources, including non-farm
employment and rural-urban migration. An important consumption smoothing strategy involves the accumulation and depletion
of assets. We examine migration and land rental market participation as responses to risk in rural China. Using a longitudinal
data set comprised of households in nine provinces in China from 1991 through 2006, we are able to test for the effect of various
manifestations of underlying idiosyncratic and covariate income risk on household responses. We find that covariate risks

The U.S. beef industry has many reasons for optimism about the potential for increasing beef and beef variety meat exports to
China. China'’ s recent accession to the World Trade Organization lowers tariff rates on imported beef muscle meats and variety
meats, low per capita consumption among Chinese consumers means there is good potential for increased consumption, and
increasing incomes will allow consumers to purchase more beef. In addition, the Chinese market is highly complementary to the
U.S. domestic market and offers potential for additional exports of beef cuts and variety meats that are underutilized in the United
States. Observations from a recent trip to China offer insight into the current and potential market for U.S. beef.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Yang,
Qing-sheng.
Firstly, connotation of fruit industrialization is introduced, pointing out that fruit leading enterprise is an important vector of the
operation of fruit industrialization, as well as the economic entity for the market exploitation, production and processing, and
service offering of fruit industry. Secondly, advantages and disadvantages of the three typical interest sharing modes during fruit
industrialization are analyzed from the perspective of benefit sharing. In the organizational mode of “leading enterprise + fruit
farmer” in contractual relationship, fruit enterprise plays a major role and is at a dominant position in the negotiation; while fruit
farmer is at a relatively weak position, which seriously frustrated the enthusiasm of fruit farmers. In...

Relative Income, Network Interactions and Social Stigma

Blood donation with compensation is considered as a social stigma. However, more people in the reference group donate blood
often leads to less moral concern and more followers. Therefore, the behavior is likely to be influenced through one’s interactions
with neighbors, friends and relatives. Meanwhile, relative income may affect the motives for blood donation through increasing
mistrust and stress. The motives might be stronger for households of lower social rankings. Utilizing three-wave census-type
panel data in 18 villages in rural western China, two identification strategies, instrumental variable and network-based
identification, are implemented to estimate the effect of social interactions. Both community-specific and household-specific

while cutting its energy intensity by about three quarters between 1980 and 2000, China has had limited success in achieving its
own 20% energy-saving goal set for 2010 to date. Despite this great challenge at home, just prior to the Copenhagen climate

Do U.S. Cotton Subsidies Affect Competing Exporters? An Analysis of Import Demand in China

James.
We estimate the demand for imported cotton in China and assess the competitiveness of cotton-exporting countries. Given the
assertion that developing countries are negatively affected by U.S. cotton subsidies, our focus is the price competition between the
United States and competing exporters (Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, India, and Uzbekistan). We further project how U.S.
programs affect China’s imports by country. Results indicate that if U.S. subsidies make other exporting countries worse off, this
effect is lessened when global prices respond accordingly. If subsidies are eliminated, China’s cotton imports may not fully
recover from the temporary spike in global prices.

Quantile Regression methods have much to offer the investigation of the determinants of dietary intake. Dietary inadequacy or

elsewhere along the intake distribution. We apply quantile regression to examine the drivers of a key aspect of dietary health, fat
density of energy intake in China. The sample of 2612 individuals between the ages of 20 and 45 is derived from the China Health

more pronounced at the upper conditional tail of fat intake (ii) While it is confirmed that an urban location...

China's accession to the WTO poses great challenges to the Chinese agricultural sector, especially to the grain producers.
Compared with major grain exporters in the world, most grain crops in China are high in production cost and weak in market
competitiveness. This can be partly attributed to the fact that Chinese farmers are facing with poorer agricultural production
infrastructures and inadequate public investment in agricultural research and extension, which leads to the lower efficiency in
private inputs and thus higher private cost per unit of product. After China joining the WTO, protective and administrative
measures conflicted with the URAA cannot be utilized as before. Alternative measures should be explored to provide help to
farmers to...

Agricultural policy reform has been an important source of change in the Chinese agricultural sector. The reforms led to
productivity growth and helped China in pursuing its self-sufficiency goal especially in the grain sector. To analyse whether
observable productivity growth stems from technologically induced components, or from the market induced parts, a
multi-input-multi-output model is derived using an econometric distance function framework. A decomposition allows to
distinguish allocative effects, scale effects, technological change, and technical efficiency change. Data on farms in Zhejiang from
1986 to 1999 are used to analyse the impact of policy reform.

This paper explores the current status of contract farming in China by examining data from a survey of Chinese householders. The
survey indicates that the actual proportion of householders engaged in contract farming is relatively low and significantly less than
the proportion of householders willing to produce under contract. The primary reason for householders not participating in
contract farming is the absence of opportunities, particularly for small size farms. Householders identify price stability and market
access as the key motivations to participate in contract farming. Middleman and agribusiness firms were the most important
organizations for householders to contract with.

have since shown that this did not happen in the product markets. In this paper we argue that as rents from the product markets
were squeezed out during the reform process, rent-seeking behavior shifted to the factor markets, especially the capital and land
markets. The reform process now needs to be deepened to ensure that the factor markets also become more integrated and
efficient.

Toward a Consumer Economy in China: Implications of Changing Wage Policies for U.S. Cotton
Exports

Autores: MacDonald,

Darren; Tuan,
Francis C.
The effect of a Chinese minimum wage increase on China’s textile market as well as on the world cotton market is evaluated.
Based on a Nonlinear Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (NQAIDS) model of China’s textile demand, the results suggest
that the income elasticity for textiles is around 0.6 in China, and that apparel is less price responsive than home textiles and other
textile products. Simulation results suggest that a minimum wage increase would raise Chinese domestic textile consumption and
lower Chinese textile exports. Most of the decline in textile exports by China is offset by expansion in other countries’ domestic
textile production and results in a slight increase in world cotton mill utilization and higher clothing prices.

China's bilateral trade in food and agricultural products has grown dramatically since the country'’ s entry into the World Trade
Organization (WTO). However, the country faces significant problems related to sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) compliance
because of increasing concerns about food safety, stricter SPS requirements in trade, and competitiveness in export markets.
China'’ s food and agricultural industry will need to address the SPS issues and make significant changes in production and
distribution methods in order to gain wider access to world markets. This study provides a systematic and comprehensive analysis
of current Chinese SPS conditions, the food safety regulatory system, production environment, inspection technology, and

Analysis of Changes in Energy Consumption and Demand Trend in China’s Agricultural Production

Meng.
China’s energy consumption for agricultural production has relied on petroleum and coal with relatively low input from power
and other types of energy for a long time. Projections indicate that as China’s existing development trend leads to substantial
growth of energy demand for agricultural production, such a long term irrational energy consumption pattern would unlikely be
able to meet the needs of the country’s developing agricultural sector. As such, it is recommended that China’s agricultural sector
should follow the national energy development strategy guideline by gradually increasing the use of wind power, solar energy,
biomass and other new energy sources while advancing technological innovations on traditional energy sources. Meanwhile, as

drought followed by excessive rain. Heat is less critical as a risk but more significant than cool weather. Results suggest a strong
interest in precipitation insurance with 50% and 44% of respondents indicating strong interest in the product. Supplementary
results indicate that interest is equal between planting, cultivating, and harvesting. Furthermore results suggest that farmers are

Emerging countries have been winning large market shares since the early 1990s. Among these, China stands out with the most
remarkable performance: it almost tripled its world market share since 1994 reaching 16.1% in 2007. The present paper attempts
to identify the countries that have profited the most from this increase in the size of the Chinese market. I use an econometric
shift-share methodology, that permits to identify for each trade flow the share of growth arising from the capacity to target the
products and markets with the highest increase in demand, and the share due exclusively to exporter’s performance.

The cointegration analysis and a vector error-correction (VEC) model are applied to examine the short- and long-run relationships
among foreign direct investment (FDI), economic growth, and the environment in China and India. The results show that FDI
inflow plays a pivotal role in determining the short- and long-run movement of economic growth through capital accumulation
and technical spillovers in the two countries. However, FDI inflow in both countries is found to have a detrimental effect on
environmental quality in both the short- and long-run, supporting pollution haven hypothesis. Finally, it is found that, in the
short-run, there exists a unidirectional causality from FDI inflow to economic growth and the environment in China and India - a

DEMAND FOR FOOD QUANTITY AND QUALITY IN CHINA

Kuo S.
As their incomes rise, Chinese consumers are changing their diets and demanding greater quality, convenience, and safety in food.
Food expenditures grow faster than quantities purchased as income rises, suggesting that consumers with higher incomes purchase
more expensive foods. The top-earning Chinese households appear to have reached a point where the income elasticity of demand
for quantity of most foods is near zero. China’s food market is becoming segmented. The demand for quality by high-income
households has fueled recent growth in modern food retail and sales of premium-priced food and beverage products. Food
expenditures and incomes have grown much more slowly for rural and low-income urban households.

This work is devoted to the analysis of the different labor market participation regimes of Chinese farm households. Using
household data over the period 1986-2000 from the province Zhejiang, we apply a multinomial logit model to empirically
examine household, farm, and regional characteristics affecting the probability that farmers employ one of four alternative labor
market regimes. Results suggest that labor market decisions are significantly related to several personal, farm, and village
attitudes. In addition, we find the more market oriented policy reforms at the end of the 1980s stipulated that households
participate in labor markets while the more anti-market reforms during the 1990s led to the opposite and encouraged autarky.

Beneficial and negative sharing mechanisms influencing the growth of cities are examined. Economic benefits of agglomeration
arise not so much from the type of economic goods available in a city location (such as common property or local public goods)
but from the enhanced operation of processes of economic exchange. Two theoretical implications of the growth of cities are

The technical route of partial revision in overall plan of land utilization is briefly described. It is pointed out that the problem of
area measuring in the technical route is mainly due to the digital process. The digital problems of partial revision in overall plan of
land utilization are presented as follows: the maps are not being proofread before digitalization; the coordinate matching and
projection transformation are not being conducted on the maps; the information is asymmetry before and after the digitalization;
the location lacks precision; the result maps are substandard. The causes of these problems are analyzed, which cover the
following aspects. The lack of united management regulations; the working ability of the staff in the compilation...

As the world's largest carbon resources country with relatively great carbon emission, China in has just started its carbon trade.
China is only a passive participant in international carbon trading market, rarely participating in the project of Clean Development
Mechanism (CDM). Therefore, trade market of emission permits can be divided into first and second trade markets. During the
definition of emission right, we found out that the ways of emission trade at second carbon trade market is the key to the research
on carbon trade, which can realize the allocation efficiency and utilization efficiency of resources. Then, feasibility of

Rural elderly have 40% of the income of those in urban areas, spend a larger share of their income on food, are in worse health,
work later into their lives, and depend more on their children, lacking pensions and public services. The birth quota since 1980 has
particularly restricted the childbearing of rural less educated women, who now face retirement with fewer children for support.
Inequality in China is also be traced to increasing returns to schooling , especially beyond secondary school. Government
restrictions on rural-urban migration reduces national efficiency, adds to the urban-rural wage gap, and increases inequality.

Yen of Yuan? China's Role in the Future of Asian Monetary Integration

Most proposals for Asian monetary cooperation assign a special role to the Japanese yen as an anchor currency. We focus instead
on the potential role of the Chinese renminbi. It becomes increasingly clear that China will assume the role of the dominant
economy in the region, and that it will become a more important destination for Asian products than Japan in as little as five years.
This development should assign a special role to the Chinese currency and its exchange rate to the other Asian currencies. It is
rather unlikely that the renminbi will assume a dominant role immediately but by drawing comparisons with the European
monetary integration process, it seems possible to design a system in which most of the present currencies have a role, but where...

We analyze the impact of China's accession to the World Trade Organization on major crop and livestock markets using the
FAPRI modeling framework. We incorporate expected changes in consumer income, textile production, and trade policies as
exogenous shocks to the baseline model. Following accession, revenues decline in China's livestock, grain, and oilseed industries,
while cotton production prospers despite increased cotton imports. Chinese consumers benefit from lower food prices, with
vegetable oil, dairy, and meat consumption increasing significantly. Argentina, Brazil, Canada, the European Union, and the
United States are the greatest beneficiaries from expanded agricultural trade with China.

DOES GUANXI MATTER TO NONFARM EMPLOYMENT?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zhang,
Xiaobo; Li,
Guo.
Because land is scarce, farmers in China increasingly have to rely on nonfarm activities to enhance their incomes. The functioning
of rural nonfarm labor markets is therefore crucial in determining who has access to nonfarm employment. Previous studies have
identified human capital as a key factor determining the selection of workers in the rural nonfarm economy. Using a detailed
household survey of northern and northeastern China, this paper shows that guanxi (social networks), has also played an important
role. With limited nonfarm job opportunities and poor market information, farmers with better social contacts are more likely to
obtain nonfarm jobs. Moreover, guanxi has a larger effect on the nonfarm employment opportunities of male workers than...

SOURCES OF GROWTH AND SUPPLY RESPONSE: A CROSS-COMMODITY ANALYSIS OF
CHINA'S GRAIN SECTOR
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Colby,

Agapi.
A growth accounting method is used to analyze the sources of growth in China's rice, wheat, corn and soybeans, the four most
important crops in China's grain sector, during 1978-97. A large TFP contribution to growth in grain production is found in the
period immediately following China's rural economic reform (1978-85). In recent years the growth rate of TFP falls sharply,
contributing less than 20 percent of growth in grain production, as increased use of inputs became the major engine of growth. If
the current government policy environment remains unchanged, China's grain production will become increasingly costly and
constrain future growth and competitiveness in world grain markets. The supply response of the four grains is estimated using
a...

We quantitatively analyze the relationship between the industrial structure and economic growth in Guangdong Province of China
from 1980 to 2006 by impulse response function and variance decomposition on the basis of the establishment of VAR model.
Result shows that there is a long-term, stable and balanced relationship between the industrial structure and the actual economic
growth in Guangdong Province with a reverse amendment mechanism. The industrial structure has a significant influence on the
economic growth of Guangdong Province, but there is a certain lag phase of this influence. Economic growth has dependence on
the industrial structure, which is showed by the structure of production value.

This study establishes a life-cycle model that a representative agent chooses optimal time of education to maximize his/her life
earning, which implies that there may exist nonlinear relation between education and earning. Using the data of Chinese off-farm
wage employment, we find that the duration of schooling years will increase by 1.7 years with 1 percent increase in rate of return
to education. The empirical results also indicate that controversies about return to education might arise from model
misspecification without consideration of nonlinearity and sample selection.

China's trade with the world doubled after joining the WTO. This study attempts to identify and measure quantitatively the effects
of changing economic environment and trade policies on China's global agricultural imports as well as imports from the EU. The
approach is to model behavioral relationships in the agricultural trade between China and the EU by using annual trade data from
1986 to 2005. The results indicate that Chinese agricultural imports are relatively inelastic to absolute price changes, but relative
price changes significantly affect the market shares of EU exports due to price competition. Trade liberalization in the form of
tariff reductions is trivial in changing the quantity of China's agricultural imports from the EU. Rapid income...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) increased attention to food imports from China is an indicator of safety concerns
as imported food becomes more common in the United States. U.S. food imports from China more than tripled in value between
2001 and 2008. Addressing safety risks associated with these imports is difficult because of the vast array of products from China,
China’s weak enforcement of food safety standards, its heavy use of agricultural chemicals, and its considerable environmental
pollution. FDA import refusal data highlight food safety problems that appear to recur in trade and where FDA has focused its
import alerts and monitoring efforts. FDA refusals of food shipments from China suggest recurring problems with “filth,” unsafe...

Six representative interpretations about the core competence of the corporate proposed by the researchers both at home and abroad
from different perspectives are introduced, which includes “Resource theory”, “Capacity theory”, “Integration theory of assets and
mechanism”, “Theory of consumer surplus”, “Theory of institutions and systems” and “Theory of innovation”. It is pointed out
that although these interpretations play an active role in enriching the theory of core competence, it still faces the problems to
further deepen these interpretations: the first problem is how to give a precise definition; the second is about its extension; the
third is on the logical and practical relationship between the production mechanism and its sustainable competitive...

We use Sperber's intermediairies and the firm theory to analyze the rural socialized service organizations. By studying the case of
the melon association in Beihe Village of Uqiao Township in Beijing, we find that the basic existing objective of this association
is to save transaction cost. The theoretical research and case analysis results show that the dispersed peasants are unable to solve
the contradiction between small-scale production and large-scale market. However, the rural socialized service organizations, the
purpose of which is to serve the benefit of the peasants, can save the transaction cost of peasants and safeguard the economic

This paper estimates the immediate impact of China's accession to WTO on water, air and soil pollution in the Chinese
manufacturing sector. The pollution effects of WTO accession are decomposed into three categories: composition, technical and
scale effects. The results suggest that the immediate environmental impact of China's WTO accession will be largely positive. The
dismantling of import barriers on China's highly protected heavy industries and the phasing out of MFA enable China to specialize
according to its comparative advantage. Its resources will be relocated from capital, land, energy and other natural resources
intensive heavy industries and channeled into labor-intensive light industries. As the latter industries are cleaner than the former,...

Over the last two decades the structure of the Chinese economy has transformed rapidly. The transformation has had a significant
impact on other economies, particularly as Chinese exports maintain their global ascendance. The economic threats and
opportunities posed by China will continue to change over time. Yet very little research has been conducted on the economic
forces that spur the transformation of China’s economic structure. We present a model of the forces underpinning China’s
evolving economy, investigating the determinants of China’s progression through key economic stages, including the initial

This paper develops a framework to measure the impact of agricultural research on urban poverty. Increased investments in
agricultural R&D can lower food prices by increasing food production, and lower food prices benefit the urban poor because
they often spend more than 60% of their income on food. Application of the framework to China shows that these food price
effects are large and that the benefits for the urban poor have been about as large as the benefits for the rural poor.

Globalization and fiscal decentralization have intensified this difference. On the one hand, in the presence of mobile foreign direct

protections on the property rights of investors; on the other hand, local governments and developers attempt to acquire land at as

with weak protections on individuals’ land property rights is argued to be one of the major drivers of China’s rapid economic...

choice decisions are climate sensitive. Chinese farmers are more likely to irrigate when facing lower temperatures and less
precipitation. Farmers in warmer places are more likely to choose oil crops, maize, and especially cotton and wheat, and are less
likely to choose vegetables, potatoes, sugar and especially rice and soybeans. In wetter locations, farmers are more likely to

A regime-switching model for analysis of market integration has been developed that incorporates rate of trade information. An
application of the methods to United States–China soybean trade demonstrates that the extended trade information allows better
interpretation of market conditions. While the empirical results show that China’s reform efforts since mid 1990s toward an open
market have greatly improved United States–China soybean markets integration, about 40% of nontransitional disequilibrium
occurrences likely indicate infrastructural limits such as the lack of information availability and limited competition. The United
States–China price linkage is observed to be closer after China’s World Trade Organization membership. The link has also been...

A choice-based conjoint (CBC) experiment was employed to analyze Chinese consumers’ preferences for fluid milk defined by
four choice attributes: production processing method, fat content level, taste, and price. The results from two analysis approaches
(counting and multinomial logit models) indicated that Chinese consumers are willing to pay a premium for pasteurized, low fat
content, and natural tasting milk, but that they require a discount for choosing ultra high temperature (UHT), high fat content, and
flavored milk. In addition, this study estimated the trade-offs among attributes’ levels and simulated the effects of income on the
probabilities of choosing attribute-specified milk.

Research on agricultural development in China has increasingly paid attention to the potentially negative effects of highly

and off-farm labor supply and investigates this relationship empirically in a more direct and robust way than in the existing
literature. Drawing upon a rural household panel dataset collected in Zhejiang, Hubei and Yunnan provinces from 1995-2002, we
estimate the effects in two steps. First, we estimate the effect of land fragmentation on labor productivity using a time-demeaned
translog production function. Second, we estimate the effect of land fragmentation on off-farm labor supply using Wooldridge’s

Autores: Wailes,

Cheng; Tuan,
Francis C.
China's agricultural trade expanded rapidly following economic reforms and the open-door policy adopted in the late 1970s. The
composition of agricultural trade with China follows its labor-abundant and land-scarce resource endowment with imports of bulk
and processed intermediates and exports of consumer-ready and processed goods. Constraints on U.S.-China agricultural trade
include tariffs, state trading, food security policies, and other nontariff barriers.
Growth potential is based on China's
fundamental demand forces including the world's largest population, a high real-income growth rate, an emerging urban middle
class, and further trade reforms to be implemented through accession to the World Trade Organization.

This study attempts to identify and measure quantitatively the effects of changing economic environment and trade policies on
China’s agricultural imports from the EU as well as globally. The approach is to model behavioural relationships in the
agricultural trade between China and the EU by using annual trade data from 1986 to 2005. The results indicate that Chinese
agricultural imports are relatively inelastic to absolute price changes, but relative price changes significantly affect the market
shares of EU exports due to price competition. Trade liberalisation in the form of tariff reductions is trivial in changing the
quantity of China’s agricultural imports from the EU. China’s growing agrifood imports has been fuelled by rapid income growth

Autores: Dong,
Bin; Torgler,

In this study we explore in detail the causes of corruption in China using two different sets of data at the regional level (provinces
and cities). We observe that regions with more anti-corruption efforts, histories of British rule, higher openness, more access to
media and relatively higher wages of government employees are markedly less corrupt; while social heterogeneity, regulation,
abundance of resource and state-owned enterprises substantially breed regional corruption. Moreover, fiscal decentralization is
discovered to depress corruption significantly, while administrative decentralization fosters local corruption. We also find that
there is currently a positive relationship between corruption and economic development in China that is mainly driven...

Industrial Coal Demand in China: A Provincial Analysis

In recent years, concerns regarding the environmental implications of the rising coal demand have induced considerable efforts to
generate long-term forecasts of China’s energy requirements. Nevertheless, none of the previous empirical studies on energy
demand for China has tackled the issue of modelling coal demand in China at provincial level. The aim of this paper is to fill this
gap. In particular, we model and forecast the Chinese demand for coal using time series data disaggregated by provinces.
Moreover, not only does our analysis account for heterogeneity among provinces, but also, given the nature of the data, it captures
the presence of spatial autocorrelation among provinces using a spatial econometric model. A fixed effects spatial lag model...

Road Development, Economic Growth, and Poverty Reduction in China
Provedor de dados: 31

In 1978, China initiated its economic and agricultural policy reforms. The ensuing rapid economic growth led to transportation
shortages and congestion problems and increased the demand for roads. Since 1985 the government has given high priority to road
development, particularly the construction of high-quality roads such as highways and freeways. While the construction of
high-quality roads has taken place at a remarkably rapid pace, the construction of lower-quality and mostly rural roads has been
slow. This study evaluates the contribution of roads to economic growth and poverty reduction in China. It disaggregates road
infrastructure into different classes of roads to account for quality, and then estimates the impact of road investments on overall...

GM food crops. The overall goal of this paper is to provide an economy-wide assessment of these issues under various scenarios.
Based on a unique data from empirical micro-level study and field trial in China and a modified GTAP model, our results indicate
that the development of biotechnology has an important impact on China's production, trade and welfare. Welfare gains far
outweigh the public biotechnology research expenditures. Most gains occur inside China. Policy makers should put less weight

The Asymmetric Effect of Dietary Knowledge on Nutrient Intake In China: Implications for Dietary
Education Programs

This paper demonstrates that dietary knowledge can influence nutrient intake differently depending on whether expected food
availability is increasing or decreasing. Using data from China, we find that overall dietary knowledge has larger and more
statistically significant effects on total calorie intake and the intake of three macro nutrients (carbohydrate, fat, and protein) when
expected food availability increases than when it decreases. Without distinguishing the direction of changes in expected food
availability, most of the corresponding effects become smaller and statistically insignificant. Thus, the effect of dietary knowledge
on nutrient intake might have been underestimated in previous studies. We discuss the implications of these findings for...

Allen M.
Chinese rural household has been always facing credit constraints. Few institutions lend loans to farmers because of financial
risks. Farmers have to use usury or other informal sources to meet the financial needs for production. This credit constraint has
been forcing farmers to deviate from optimal resource allocation and production arrangement. Consequently, it affects farmers’
income growth. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine how credit constraint affects agricultural productivity and rural
household income and discuss some consequent policy implications.

In this paper, I use the Monash Multi-Country model – a dynamic Computable General Equilibrium model of China, Australia and

possibility that removing border protection on wheat and rice may lead to an increase in rural income in China. This is mainly due
to the following two factors. First, removing border protection on wheat and rice not only leads to a contraction in agricultural
activities, but also leads to an expansion in manufacturing and services activities. Second, on average, rural households in China
obtain over half of their income from manufacturing and services activities.

Great changes have taken place in China’s agricultural and food markets in the past several decades. However, the impact of the
transformation brought by modern supply chains on the welfare of farmers in China is unclear. This paper attempts to understand
whether or not the recent changes in China’s food economy have contributed to an improvement in the welfare of small, poor
farmer. It also seeks to identify whether or not the main marketing institutions in China’s horticultural economy are consistent
with a system that can deliver food safety. To achieve our objectives, we use a data set collected in 2007 by ourselves which
includes representative tomato- and cucumber-production farmers in Shandong Province. We use the information from the survey

The livestock industry in China has undergone massive changes since the liberalisation of markets started in 1985. The beef sector
is no exception to this transition with production and consumption increasing faster than all other meats in the last two decades.
The number of cattle has nearly doubled since 1980 to be around 141.6 million in 2005 and beef production has increased at a
much faster rate than the cattle inventory. As the third largest beef producing country in the world, China exports and imports beef
cattle. The emerging Chinese market has generally been seen as an opportunity for the Australian red meat industry. However,
given the rate of increase in output, China may also provide a threat. With this in mind, understanding the current beef...

China’s melamine milk adulteration crisis highlights the challenges that arise as large well-capitalized companies procure raw
materials from a diffused supply chain of scattered small farmers and milk collection stations. As milk prices climbed sharply in
2007 and companies branched out into new territories, intense competition for raw milk supplies strengthened incentives to water
down and adulterate milk. Effective food safety measures must account for incentives, the distribution of market power in the
supply chain and market dynamics.

The impact of wheat diversity on the productivity of wheat in China is examined using total factor productivity (TFP) and an
instrumental variable approach. TFP in seven key wheat-producing provinces in China shows significant, though variable,
growth for all provinces during the period 1982-1995. Analysis of the causes of TFP growth tests alternative taxonomies of
wheat diversity (named varieties and morphological groups) and three measures of diversity. The analysis shows significant
effects of diversity on TFP with results consistent across taxonomies and measures of diversity. Further decomposition of the
estimation results confirms the relative magnitude of impact of wheat diversity on TFP growth.

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. Since the early 1990s, tens
of thousands of villages in rural China have held local-government elections, providing a good opportunity to investigate the
effect of democratization on the level of public goods provision. Using a recent village survey conducted over a significant period
of time, this paper compares governance by elected officials with that of appointed cadres and finds that elected officials tend to
tax constituents less and provide them with higher levels of public services.

products will continue to grow as income increases. Using a trade model, results of our scenario analysis indicate that a reduction
in China's import tariffs will significantly increase its net pork and poultry imports and the U.S. will capture most of the increases.
Nevertheless, the impact on the market price in China and the U.S. is likely to be very small.

The extent to which agricultural research has reduced poverty has become an increasing concern of policymakers, donors, and
researchers. Until recently, poverty reduction was a secondary goal of agricultural research. The primary focus was on increasing
food supplies and reducing food prices, a strategy that was successful in increasing the yields of important food staples. When
increased productivity is combined with increased agricultural employment, lower food prices, and increased off-farm
employment, agricultural research can be credited with significant reductions in rural poverty. However, these benefits do not
necessarily materialize, and thus it is essential to understand how agricultural technologies influence and are influenced by the

Food safety issues often arise from problems of asymmetric information between consumers and suppliers of food with regards to
product-specific attributes or characteristics. Food safety concerns in China are having a drastic impact on consumer behavior,
commodity markets, international trade and food security. An additional challenge to the problem of asymmetric information lies
in the inherent structure of the governing bodies which oversee food safety and quality. Unlike the United States and other
developed countries, China’s food safety is regulated by several government entities with different and sometimes overlapping
responsibilities. As a result consumers don’t have a comprehensive food safety and quality system on which to base their

Major reasons include inadequate propaganda and training effort; narrow compensation scope influencing institutional functions;
unreasonable reimbursement mechanism; low level of informatization management; imperfect supervision mechanism; and
imperfect laws and regulations. In these situations, we put forward following countermeasures and suggestions: enhance training
to ensure working efficiency; expand compensation scope to raise security level; adjust compensation standard to raise
reimbursement proportion; lift level of informatization management to reduce costs for institutional operation; strengthen

According to the household consumption data of urban residents in Guangxi Statistical Yearbook in the year 2009, the ELES
(Extended Linear Expenditure System) is used to analyze the consumption structure, the propensity to consume, and the consumer
flexibility of urban residents in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China in the year 2008. Result shows that urban residents
in Guangxi has relatively low propensity to consume. And their consumption, especially the middle and low-income families, is
mostly concentrated in food, cloth, lodging and other basic necessities of life, which account for more than a half of their income.
Based on this, corresponding suggestions are put forward to enlarge the consumption demand of urban residents in Guangxi, such

Problems of overweight and obesity among children have increased in China and pose a problem both for individuals as well as
for public social and health care systems. This study explores factors contributing to weight problems among children age 6 to 18
years old in urban China. Data come from the 2004 China Health and Nutrition Survey. Results from a binary probit model show
that parents' being overweight, some patterns of TV use, and more frequent eating in fast food restaurants influence children being
overweight. Among younger children, parent's dietary knowledge was a significant factor. For adolescents, TV habits and concern
about being liked by friends were significant. The results suggest that targeted nutrition education, especially for parents...

A Tale of Two Countries: Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Rice Productivity in China and Brazil

This paper examines differences in the spatial and temporal variations of rice yields in China and Brazil. Our analysis indicates
that, in China, rice yields have converged over time and rice production has become increasingly homogeneous. In contrast, rice
yields in Brazil have diverged over time, primarily due to variations in upland rice yields. Three hypothetical explanations may
account for the different behaviors of rice yields in Brazil and China, namely: 1) differences in production systems (i.e. irrigated
in China vs. upland in Brazil); 2) changes in rainfall patterns; and 3) bias in agricultural research and development (R&D)
towards irrigated rice. Our empirical analysis supports the first two hypotheses by establishing that: 1) upland rice...

service and environment can increase the propensity of using contract and the probability of contract enforcement both for
purchase and sales of products. Education and memberships of special associations are also important for contract choices and

This paper employs the production function-based method proposed by Just and Pope (1978, 1979) to explicitly analyze
production risk in the context of Chinese grain farming and climate change, and test for a potential endogeneity of climate
factors in Chinese grain production. Our results indicate that China might, at least in the short run, become a net beneficiary of
climate change. In particular, we find that increases in annual average temperature increase mean output at the margin and at
the same time lead to a reduction of production risk. Further calculations suggest that a 1 °C increase in annual average
temperature would entail an economic benefit of $1.1 billion due to the increasing mean output. Furthermore, a Hausman

Using urban household-level survey data from 1992 to 1998, we provide estimates of final demand for edible vegetable oils and
animal fats in three regions of China based on the LinQuad incomplete demand system. For each region, the demand for the major
"staple" oil is price inelastic. The demand for "condiment" or flavoring oils is more price responsive. All edible oils and fats have
positive income elasticity, but smaller than one. Using the LinQuad parameter estimates, we provide exact measures of urban
consumer welfare losses associated with trade restrictions on vegetable oil imports. Consumers suffer a significant welfare loss
of the order of $ 392 million (1998 dollars).

Centralized versus Individual: Governance of Farmer Professional Cooperatives in China

George W.J.; Huang,
Jikun.
Based on a national representative survey conducted in 2009, this study shows that the decision-making within Farmer
Professional Cooperatives (FPCs) in China is decentralized to individual farmers. However, there is a trend that the decision rights
of farming are decomposed to marketing, production and input procuring. While the rights for production and input procuring stay
with family farmers, marketing rights tend to be collectivized. Compared to FPCs having external initiating sources, FPCs
initiated by farmers are more inclined to introduce centralized decision-making. The governance structure of FPCs in transition
China presents hybrid forms of both hierarchy and family farming.

China, from its own perspective cannot afford to, and from an international perspective, is not allowed to continue on the
conventional path of encouraging economic growth at the expense of the environment. The country needs to transform its
economy to effectively address concern about a range of environmental problems from burning fossil fuels and steeply rising oil
import and international pressure to exhibit greater ambition in fighting global climate change. This paper first discusses China’s
own efforts towards energy saving and pollutants cutting, the widespread use of renewable energy and participation in clean
development mechanism, and puts carbon reductions of China’s unilateral actions into perspective. Given that transition to a low

Asymmetric Intra-household Allocation of Calories in China: Implication for Demographic Bias and
the Need for Demographic Targeting
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Shimokawa,
Satoru.
This article questions the assumption of symmetric consumption behavior in the conventional analysis of intra-household calorie
allocation. It proposes a framework that takes into account asymmetric consumption behavior due to liquidity constraints or loss
aversion. Using panel data from China, we find that intra-household calorie allocation responds asymmetrically to expected
declines and increases in household food availability, which is qualitatively consistent with the liquidity constraint model.
Clarifying such asymmetric responses enables us to relate calorie elasticity estimates to the status of demographic groups within a
household without requiring a full interpretation of the ordering of the estimates across demographic groups. Results also show...

Using a unique survey data on agricultural traders in China in 2004, this study provides direct evidence on significance of
interregional transport costs and their key determinants. Our major findings are as follows: (1) the trade barriers within China are
dominated by transport-related costs but not artificial barriers, approximated by tolls and fines; (2) Labor and fuels costs are the
most significant component of transport costs; (3) road quality is very important for transportation efficiency. Our results indicate
that if increasing transport speed by 1 km per hour now, the fuel costs and total direct transportation costs for Chinese traders
would reduce by 1.3% and 0.7% respectively.

The gradualism of economic reforms in China and Vietnam (especially in China, which has led the way in this regard) has been

constrained by political considerations and consequently, began in agriculture and in China’s case, in rural areas with the
development of town-and-village enterprises as well. It is argued that at the time when the reforms began, they were socially
responsible. However, they have created a legacy which has resulted in agricultural land disputes and many town-and-village
enterprises now face new economic challenges resulting in social conflict as the structure of China’s economy alters and greater

By selecting the data from 1989 to 2009 in China, we conduct regression analysis on the total out value of agriculture, the usage
amount of chemical fertilizer, total power of agricultural machinery, effective irrigation area, and the damage area. The results
show that the usage amount of chemical fertilizer and the damage area, the great obstacle to the construction of resource-saving
and environment-friendly agriculture, have significant impact on the output value of agriculture; total power of agricultural
machinery and effective irrigation area have insignificant impact on the output value of agriculture. Based on these, the
suggestions for promoting the development of resource-saving and environment-friendly agriculture are put forward as follows:...

This study is an ex-post, economic assessment of two projects supported by ACIAR and concerned with the breeding and quality
analysis of rapeseed in Australia and China. These projects were carried out sequentially with the first one commencing on 1 July
1986. The second one was completed on 30 June 1991. The projects were essentially an exchange of knowledge and germplasm
of rape (Brassica napus) between plant breeders in Australia and China. The projects resulted in the release of varieties of rape
that yielded improved seed in Australia, China and other developed and developing countries. An economic evaluation of these
projects was made in 1991 and the results published in Chudleigh (1991). Assumptions made in the 1991 analysis have now been
updated....

Impact of Contract Farming on Income: Linking Small Farmers, Packers, and Supermarkets in
China

Dinghuan.
Contract farming is seen by proponents as a way to raise small-farm income by delivering technology and market information to
small farmers, incorporating them into remunerative new markets. Critics, however, see it as a strategy for agribusiness firms to
pass production risk to farmers, taking advantage of an unequal bargaining relationship. There is also concern that contract
farming will worsen rural income inequality by favoring larger farmers. This study examines these issues in Shandong Province,
China, using survey data collected from 162 apple and green onion farmers and interviews with four contracting firms in 2005.
Using a probit model to estimate participation in a contract-farming scheme, we find little evidence that contracting firms prefer...

Agriculture in China has experienced a compelling growth in the early 1980s, a buoyant upbeat in the early 1990s, and an
extended period of low growth after 1995. Decollectivization, mar-ket reforms, public investments and technology have played a
critical role during this overall successful process. However, the transition has also led to increasing inequalities between the
agricultural and non-agricultural population, and substantial institutional issues remain to be fully addressed. The Chinese
government is now reemphasizing agriculture and rural develop-ment under its New Rural Campaign with the objective to address
rural-urban inequalities, but a stronger emphasis on participation and tenure reforms is warranted.

In the early 1990s, hoping to reduce chronic electricity shortages and enhance the efficiency of Chinese power plants, China
opened its doors to foreign direct investment (FDI) in electricity generation. Using data from an original survey of US private
investors, official Chinese statistics, and other sources, we assess the volume and characteristics of FDI in China's power sector,
its impact on energy efficiency, and the factors that limit this impact. Our five principal findings are as follows. First, the volume
FDI in China's power sector will likely fall short of the government's 1995 - 2000 capacity expansion target by a substantial
margin, most likely because of persistent institutional barriers to FDI. Second, to avoid the lengthy central government...

China prioritized a New Socialist Countryside reform policy in 2005 to address the growing disparities in incomes and living
standards between rural and urban populations. These policies are evaluated to provide a base line index of reform concerning
farmer, agricultural, and rural economic development. Aggregate index scores are computed to rank provincial progress. Rankings
indicate the progression of rural economic reform is moderate, at best, and mostly isolated to well-developed eastern provinces.
Reform growth is also uneven across similarly, rural provinces indicating a need for continued attention in these poorer areas.
More importantly, as reform efforts continue, the empirical framework established can be used to track relative performance

influenced their willingness-to-pay for U.S. pork. A proportional linear model was developed to evaluate factors affecting
purchasing behavior of western-style pork cuts vs. traditional Chinese cuts. Food safety concerns were linked to a previous
lean-meat additive scare and a lack of consumer confidence on the Chinese food inspection system.

Autores: Li,
Ting-ting; Zhang,
An-liang.
We use relevant economic and labor force data from 1990 to 2009 of Henan Province to analyze the dynamic relation between
stock of rural human capital and farmers' income. Results indicate that a certain causal relationship and long-run equilibrium
relation exist between rural human capital and farmers' income, but their interaction shows some lagging characteristic. Increase
of farmers' income in Henan Province increases the stock of rural human capital in this Province for a short term. However, in the
long run, this accumulation effect will decline along with renewal and aging of knowledge. The positive promotion action of rural
human capital on farmers' income will appear after a long lag time. therefore, the policy of strengthening rural human capital...

Autores: Ortega,
David L.; Wang,
H. Holly; Wu,
Laping.
China’s transition into a developed economy is driving changes in consumer preferences and demand for foods. To evaluate
consumer preferences for U.S. pork in urban China, primary data were collected in two metropolitan areas- Beijing and Shanghai.
Estimated logit models revealed that an individual’s age, shopping location and food safety concerns significantly influenced their
willingness-to-pay for U.S. pork. A proportional linear model was developed to evaluate factors affecting purchasing behavior of
western-style pork cuts vs. traditional Chinese cuts. Food safety concerns were linked to a previous lean-meat additive scare and a
lack of consumer confidence on the Chinese food inspection system.

We evaluated the diversity of soil macrofauna communities inhabiting urban green spaces in Yancheng City, an urbanizing city
located east of China. In the end of April 2011, the taxonomic richness, abundance and composition of soil macrofauna
communities were assessed and compared among five types of green space (poplar forest, rapeseed farm, grassland in park, lawn
and nursery garden) and three depth layers in the soil, with taxonomic resolution attained at the order level. Taxonomic richness
(orders) and abundance were significantly different among green spaces. Diversity indices (Margalef's taxonomic richness R and
Shannon-Weaver diversity index H') were higher in poplar forest, grassland in park and nursery garden than in rapeseed farm and
lawn....

Escalada tarifária e exportações brasileiras da agroindústria do café e da soja
Provedor de dados: 123
Autores: Rodrigues,Francine Rossi; Burnquist,Heloisa Lee; Costa,Cinthia Cabral da.
A escalada tarifária, em que o emprego de tarifas de importação sobre componentes ou matéria-prima é mais baixo e aumenta
progressivamente para bens semifinais ou finais, estimula a importação de produtos primários em detrimento dos processados.
Este artigo mensura os ganhos para o Brasil com a eliminação da escalada tarifária para produtos do café na União Européia (UE),
e da soja na China e na UE, comparando esses resultados com os de uma redução da escalada proposta na Rodada Doha da OMC
(Organização Mundial do Comércio). Para tanto, foram simuladas reduções tarifárias e quantificados os impactos comerciais com
uma modelagem de equilíbrio parcial. Os resultados indicam que as negociações sob a rodada Doha da OMC poderão reduzir a
escalada tarifária que...
