"This study examines the impact of alternative price stabilization policies for edible oils and oilseeds in India on the farmers growing oilseeds, the consumers of edible oils and the processing sector with the help of a multi market equilibrium dynamic simulation model. Price stability in the edible oil sector is important at least for two reasons. It can help realize the growth potential in the production of edible oils and improve the nutritional security of Indian households. While efficiency considerations suggest the linking of domestic to world prices, extreme fluctuations in price have to be avoided, for they can lead to undesirable consequences both at the macro and micro levels. The questions addressed in this study include the following. What is the effectiveness of alternative price stabilization mechanisms in stabilizing oilseed/ edible oil prices? Can variable levies that vary within the bound tariff level provide adequate protection against world price fluctuations? What are the costs to the government, benefits to producers and consumers? What is the impact on prices of oilseeds due to the operation of variable levies edible oil imports and vice versa?" -- From Author's Executive Summary ; Non-PR ; IFPRI1 ; MTID
This study evaluates the domestic and international trade and marketing policies in India and analyzes the effects of deregulating domestic markets and liberalizing external trade on the food grain sector. Historically, India's food policy has involved heavy government intervention in all aspects of the food grain market -- pricing, procurement, stocking, transport and marketing. The Food Corporation of India (FCI) is the principal parastatal agency responsible for marketing food grains within the country and controls nearly 50 percent of the grain markets. An analysis of the performance of the FCI, however, reveals enormous and mounting costs of operations that present a huge financial burden for the Government of India (GOI). This study offers a comparison of the costs and functioning of the FCI with that of private traders, in order to suggest policy options for reform. The results show that private traders operate at costs lower than those incurred by the FCI in both storage and trade, despite several controls and restrictions imposed upon them. Therefore, the finding from this study is that there is a strong case for reform from the efficiency point of view."""" -- From Author's Executive Summary"" ; Non-PR ; IFPRI1 ; MTID
Verlagstext: Ganze zehn Stunden verbringen die Deutschen heute täglich mit Medien. 1980 waren es noch 346 Minuten, also rund vier Stunden weniger. Zwischen heute und damals liegt die Einführung des privaten Rundfunks, die Erfolgsstory des Handys, die fortschreitende Digitalisierung und nicht zuletzt die Verbreitung des Internets IBM die Medienlandschaft hat sich grundlegend gewan-delt. Die ARD/ZDF-Langzeitstudie "Massenkom-munikation" hat diese Umbrüche begleitet. Seit 1964 IBM also mittlerweile seit vier Jahrzehnten IBM wird alle fünf Jahre per Telefonumfrage unter-sucht, wie die Deutschen Tageszeitung, Radio, Fernsehen und seit kurzem das Internet nutzen und was sie von den Medien halten.
