AbstractCurrently, there is a debate about the appropriate form of future farm policy. This paper analyzes the distribution of land prices under the 1985 programs and under a more market orientation. The problem was studied by using results from an econometric simulation model. Results suggest that by 1990, under average conditions, land prices under both the Market and the 1985 program scenarios could be near the long‐run equilibrium levels of $1121 and $1296 per acre, respectively.

Emergency programs, which often call for exceptions to ordinary rules and procedures and flexible, short-term, reactive activities that preempt attention from overall ends, pose special problems for both process and goal-attainment evaluations. An emergency is defined as: (1) a change in life circumstances so that individuals who could ordinarily cope can no longer do so without additional resources, and (2) a situation from which life-threatening or dangerous consequences are thought to flow. Relaxed standards are suggested in areas of targeting and coverage, equity, and efficiency. Such important secondary gains as development of community resources, establishing and reinforcing service networks, problem identification, and advocacy should be included in any general evaluation.

AbstractThe study investigates the effects of mandatory political representation of women and non‐forward castes in India (73rd Constitutional Amendment) on development preferences and social equity. We used systematic content analysis of proceedings from meetings of 155 rural village assemblies. The study revealed overemphasis on physical infrastructure, relative neglect of health and education, influence of state government directives and marginalization of gender issues. However, there was higher likelihood of articulation of non forward caste‐related issues by non‐forward caste chairpersons. A paradigm shift in the development perspective of local governments, stressing investments in leadership development is needed. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
