    Are current EU cereal prices correlated?
    (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-12-18) Buczkowski, Rafal; García Azcárate, Tomás
    [EN] This paper evaluates the correlations between European cereal prices in up to 87 markets of 24 Member States. History and geography play a role: The highest correlations are observed between closely located internal markets of the “old” Union; prices are more correlated along transport routes, in particular rivers. We observe that 10 years after the Accession (8 in the case of Rumania and Bulgaria) we do not have a complete integration between the “old” and the “new” Member States. We advance several possible explana-tions: Weaker producers’ organisations, lack of storage facilities, less efficient transport facilities

    The role of private sector in development: The relation between public-private investment in infrastructure and agricultural exports in developing countries
    (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-12-18) Soriano, Bárbara; Garrido, Alberto
    [EN] Increasing foreign private investment in developing countries explains why the Public-Private Investment (PPI) is becoming a key tool to reach the development goal. This article analyzes the relation between PPI in infrastructure and agricultural exports in developing countries. We use the panel data approach (52 countries and 17 years). Results show that PPI in infrastructure has a positive impact on agricultural exports of developing countries. The impact is greater in developing countries with higher income rates. This suggests that the lower income countries require the intervention of public sector with-with-out which private investment cannot help to economic development

    Expansion strategies of Spanish food retailers
    (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-12-18) Roig-Tierno, Norat; Baviera-Puig, Amparo; Buitrago-Vera, Juan; Facultad de Administración y Dirección de Empresas; Departamento de Economía y Ciencias Sociales
    [EN] The study of evolutionary economic geography receives more interest each time. The aim of this paper is to analyze the different strategies of expansion or geographic growth followed by major brands of Spanish food retailers. To do this, tools of spatial analysis are provided as the dissemination of retail chains across space is a dynamic process. From these analyses, we can compare the different expan-sion or geographic growth strategies of the Spanish food retailers, as well as facilitate business decision making process

    Farmer’s subjective elicited water response function for intensive olives and compromise programming method for irrigation supply decision
    (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-12-18) Berbel, Julio; Gutiérrez-Martín, Carlos; Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad
    [EN] This research analyses the subjective crop yield-water relationship and proposes a method to determine water supply in irrigated olives. The probability density for water response functions (PDF) is elicited from a series of interviews carried out on a wide group of farmers. The elicitation technique is based upon the triangular distribution (highest possible, most frequent and lowest possible) and estimates of yield related to water supply (low, ‘normal’ and full irrigation). The model presented illustrates the possibility of implementing simple decision models to support farmers to manage water considering the objectives of maximizing profit and minimizing risk

    Agricultural transfers in Mexico and its effect on the agricultural sector
    (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-12-18) Zavala-Pineda, María Jesica; Leos-Rodríguez, Juan Antonio; Salas-González, José María; Valdez-Cepeda, Ricardo David; Gómez-Oliver, Luis
    [EN] This study examined the impact of agricultural transfers (TA) on the measured perform-ance of the agricultural sector through agricultural value added per worker (VA), for which the TA were differentiated according to their purpose. Series data for the period 1986 to 2010 were used two semi-log-arithmic models. The results indicate that the TA on public goods are the most effective for each dollar invested in this field the VA grows at 1.6 %, the categorization indirect production development recorded investment in the best impact per dollar spent, the VA grows 7.6 %.

    Analysing the economic value of meteorological information to improve crop risk management decisions in a dynamic context
    (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-12-18) Cerdá, Emilio; Quiroga, Sonia; Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad
    [EN] We evaluate the added value of a forecast service that can provide probabilistic predictions for adverse weather events for two differentiated seasons, corresponding to the same productive cycle. The paper builds on a cost-loss dynamic model, by considering the role of forecasting systems in the decision making process. We present the analytical solution for this problem which is consistent with the numerical results in the literature. However, we prove that there is a range of regions for the opti-mal policy depending on the cost of crop protection, the avoided loss and the quality of the information available. Finally, we illustrate the results with a numerical example.
