This paper argues that contemporary smart city visions based on ITs (information and telecommunication technologies) configure complex socio-technical challenges that can benefit from strategic niche management to foster two key processes: technological learning and societal embedding. Moreover, it studies the extent to which those processes started to unfold in two paradigmatic cases of smart …
The ability of the standard commodity storage model to replicate annual price serial correlation is a controversial issue. Calendar year averages of prices induce spurious smoothing of price spikes, a fact that has been surprisingly overlooked in several empirical estimations of the annual commodity storage model for agricultural commodities. We present the application of a maximum likelihood …
This article analyses spatial dependence in the adoption of organic farming. Bayesian spatial Durbin probit models are applied to survey data of almost 600 Irish drystock farmers. The findings reveal that farmers located in close proximity exhibit similar choice behaviour. In addition, results show the importance of farmer interactions in adoption decisions as social norms and attitudes were id…
We use experimental data to investigate whether a decentralised approach to promoting innovation in central African agriculture outperforms conventional extension approaches. Our main result is that this decentralised approach, based on so-called innovation platforms, is effective in reducing poverty � more effective than conventional extension approaches. However, we also document conside…
A model of interaction between a renewable natural resource with capital limitations, as exemplified by the optimal investment problem of sheep farming in a Nordic context, is analysed. Both private and social optimality are considered; with the difference that a stock value related to the number of grazing animals is attached to the social management problemdue to landscape preservation. The e…
Much aggregate social-science analysis relies upon the standard national income and product accounts as a source of economic data. These are recognized to be defective in many poor countries, and are missing at the regional level for large parts of the world. Using updated luminosity (or nighttime lights) data, the present study examines whether such data contain useful information for estimat…
