Food Subsidies in Egypt
Research report on the impact of food subsidies on foreign exchange and the industrial sector in Egypt, based on an econometric model of the balance of payments - examines the effect of food policy on exchange rates, inflation and trade structure; discusses price control, food imports and food consumption. Bibliography, graphs and statistical tables.
Tax Policy and Uncertainty
Presenting innovative modelling approaches to the analysis of fiscal policy and government debt, this book moves beyond previous models that have relied upon the assumption that various age-specific rates and policy variables remain unchanged when it comes to generating government expenditures and tax revenues. As a result of population ageing, current policy settings in many countries are projected to lead to unsustainable levels of public debt; Tax Policy and Uncertainty explores models that allow for feedbacks and uncertainty to combat this.
Household Wealth in New Zealand
How much wealth do New Zealanders have? In what forms do they hold that wealth? What about human capital as a form of wealth? Does ethnicity, income or occupation matter? Are New Zealanders saving adequately for retirement? How much income in retirement will their wealth provide? How critical is New Zealand Superannuation in the decisions people make about saving for retirement? Does being in a workplace scheme lead to any extra saving? The authors address these and other questions in this wide-ranging analysis of the assets and liabilities of New Zealanders based on the 2001 Household Savings Survey. This book provides the first comprehensive description of pattern of wealth in this country and will make a valuable contribution to informed debate on many aspects of social and economic policy.
Partners in Research
After decades of neglect, the agricultural sector in many countries of Latin America is receiving renewed attention. As part of this, the establishment and consolidation in Latin America of three international centers funded through the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) account for a small but significant part of the growth in agricultural research. The importance of the centers lies not in the additional funding they bring, but rather in their collaboration with national research programs. There is increasing evidence that these centers have helped to expand the capacity of many national programs, especially in the numerous smaller countries. Their sustained funding, apolitical nature and international scientific linkages have added an important dimension to the region's own enhanced capacity for agricultural research. The accelerated growth in the yields and output of staple foods in Latin America achieved over the past decade is striking testimony to the strengthened national research programs which are receiving, testing, adapting and releasing technologies developed through their collaboration with international centers.

Science and Food
The Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) supports thirteen international research and training centers throughout the world. This study offers a comprehensive assessment of the contributions that the centers have made through their research programs and especially through their collaboration with national agricultural research systems in the developing world. The book surveys the products and achievements of the centers, including new crop varieties, new farming techniques, changes in institutions and policies, assistance to national research programs, and training. Of particular interest are the excerpts from country studies undertaken in connection with this report, which summarize national perceptions of the work and achievements of the CGIAR centers.
