Financial Resources of Agricultural Manufacturers in Ukraine – Historical Experience and Its Modern Role in Enterprise Management
2020
The use of historical experience is an important component of the modern economy reforming in Ukraine. The reforms of the second half of the 19th to early 20th century are of particular importance. As their immediate result was the creation of an extensive credit system for agricultural producers, which was very effective at that time. The article describes the main types of financial resources used by agricultural producers in Ukraine at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. The analysis of statistical data confirms the idea of the extraordinary vitality of small family-owned agricultural enterprises. In such places there has always been the possibility of replenishing a modest budget thr…
Climate variability and agriculture in Italy: a stochastic frontier analysis at the regional level
2020
In the next future, climate change effects will represent a challenge for Europe and the Mediterranean area. These will have to cope with a rapid increase in climate variability. Although many economic sectors may be affected, agriculture is the most susceptible as climate heavily affects crop production trends, yield variability and the availability of areas suitable for cultivation. Using the stochastic frontier approach, the aim of this work is to analyse the impacts of climate variability on Italian regional technical efficiency in the agricultural sector for a period spanning from 2000 to 2009. Considering that technical inefficiency could be influenced by two main annual meteorologica…

Irrigation water intensity and climate variability: an agricultural crops analysis of Italian regions
2020
This paper examines the relationship between the requirement of water resources for irrigation and climate variability and analyses the ranking of the best and worst performance of irrigation water intensity for each Italian region. To measure water resources demanded by agriculture, the irrigation water intensity (IWI) indicator has been computed as the ratio between volumes of irrigation water and total crop harvested. By applying panel data methodologies to a regional dataset spanning from 2000 to 2009, we may address heterogeneity and omitted variable issues. By merging meteo-climatic with agricultural variables, we may confirm that water precipitations, maximum temperature, irrigation …
Death and Transfiguration : The Late Kim Jong-il Aesthetic in North Korean Cultural Production
2016
This article assesses the official music scene in Pyongyang over a span of five dramatic years, surveying how changes in the field of music from 2009 to 2014 mirrored and in some cases presaged North Korean dynastic succession and political consolidation. The article draws upon a new abundance of performance data on North Korean musical groups, data which we argue is important but has largely been ignored or mischaracterized heretofore. The central crisis dealt with in the article is the decline and demise of Kim Jong-il, the architect of North Korea’s musical culture. In his final years, Kim Jong-il assented to the creation of a new leading musical group known as the Unhasu Orchestra, prom…
Museums, consumers, and on‐site experiences
2010

This paper seeks to analyze different trends applied to museums in order to improve the understanding of this “new” cultural audience.Design/methodology/approachFor this trend marketing analysis, seven consumer orientations have been identified (without claiming they are at all exhaustive) after an extended review over the shape of contemporary consumer habits. Besides, the authors wanted to know the opinion of the cultural managers. Each consumer orientation has been evaluated by taking a sample of French pr…

Crowdfunding in the Cultural Industries
2020
AbstractCultural production has stood at the forefront of crowdfunding adoption representing some of the first crowdfunding campaigns on record. This development emerged as part of comprehensive value chain reconfigurations in the cultural sector, which were triggered by the advent of digitalization on the one hand and the downsizing in public funds on the other. As a result, the emerging phenomenon here labelled as ‘cultural crowdfunding’ (CCF) has captured the imagination of researchers and practitioners. The study of CCF is of high relevance, as it presses creators to strike a balance between the commercial and the non-commercial, the economic and the cultural outcomes, as well as the au…
Lauksaimniecības produktu eksporta konkurētspēja Baltijas valstīs
2021
Cilvēku skaits pasaulē pieaug un nenoliedzami pieaug arī pieprasījums pēc pārtikas. Lauksaimniecības un pārtikas tirgi pēdējās divās desmitgadēs ir ļoti mainījušies un mūsdienās tie ir ciešāk integrēti nekā jebkad agrāk. Maģistra darba mērķis ir, pamatojoties uz starptautiskās tirdzniecības statistikas datu analīzi, novērtēt Latvijas, Lietuvas un Igaunijas lauksaimniecības produktu eksporta konkurētspēju un sniegt priekšlikumus tās veicināšanai. Maģistra darbā izvirzītā hipotēze: “Starp trīs Baltijas valstīm, Lietuvai ir augstākie eksporta konkurētspējas rādītāji” tiek apgāzta, jo tikai atsevišķi, starp darbā izmantotiem eksporta konkurētspējas novērtēšanas rādītājiem konkrētajā laika perio…
MODELING PUBLIC POLICIES ANALYSIS OF LOGISTICS COLLABORATION IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR OF THE POTATO IN COLOMBIA.
2020
The agricultural sector is considered fundamental for the supply of food needs of humanity, given the population growth. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the world population is estimated to be 9 billion people by the year 2050 and where the conditions of climate change can decrease crop yield up to 25%. This triggers greater vulnerability to the neediest population, being the rural sector the one hosting the poorest people. The rural area of Colombia represents 94% of extend the national territory, where 24% of the population lives a scenario of multiple problems that affect the country, such as the armed conflict of more than five decades, the presence of illicit …
