description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Book 2017Publisher:World Bank, Washington, DC Authors: Atsushi Iimi; Haileysus Adamtei; James Markland; Eyasu Tsehaye;Atsushi Iimi; Haileysus Adamtei; James Markland; Eyasu Tsehaye;Agriculture remains an important economic sector in Africa, employing a large share of the labor force and earning foreign exchange. Among others, transport connectivity has long been a crucial constraint in Africa. In theory, railways have a particularly important role to play in shipping freight and passengers at low cost. However, most African railways were in virtual bankruptcy by the 1990s. Using a large sample of data comprised of more than 190,000 households over eight years in Ethiopia, the paper estimates the impacts of rail transport on agricultural production. Methodologically, the paper takes advantage of the historical event that a major rail line connecting the country to the regional hub, the Port of Djibouti, was abandoned in the 2000s. With spatially highly disaggregated fixed effects and instrumental variables incorporated, an agricultural production function is estimated. The elasticity with respect to port connectivity is estimated at 0.276. The use of fertilizer is also found to increase with transport cost reduction, supporting the fact that a large amount of fertilizer is imported to Ethiopia.

In this work, a versatile self-supervised LiDAR odometry estimation method is presented, in order to enable the efficient utilization of all available LiDAR data while maintaining real-time performance. The proposed approach selectively applies geometric losses during training, being cognizant of the amount of information that can be extracted from scan points. In addition, no labeled or ground-truth data is required, hence making the presented approach suitable for pose estimation in applications where accurate ground-truth is difficult to obtain. Furthermore, the presented network architecture is applicable to a wide range of environments and sensor modalities without requiring any network or loss function adjustments. The proposed approach is thoroughly tested for both indoor and outdoor real-world applications through a variety of experiments using legged, tracked and wheeled robots, demonstrating the suitability of learning-based LiDAR odometry for complex robotic applications. 2021 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) ISBN:978-1-7281-9077-8 ISBN:978-1-7281-9078-5

Yet robust stylized facts are hard to come by, and when available, often outdated. In a special issue of Food Policy, 12 papers revisit conventional wisdom on African agriculture and its farmers' livelihoods using nationally representative surveys from the Living Standards Measurement Study-Integrated Surveys on Agriculture Initiative in six African countries. At times, the findings simply confirm the common understanding of the topic. But the studies also throw up several surprises, redirecting some policy debates while fine-tuning others. Overall, the project calls for more attention to checking and updating the common wisdom. This requires nationally representative data, and sufficient incentives among researchers and policy makers alike. Without well-grounded stylized facts, they can easily be profoundly misguided.

Rural settlements with their houses and plots may contain evidence for agricultural tasks such as ploughing, tools of cultivation, and the storage of crops as well as space for the production of pigs, poultry, honey, and garden produce. The house, its buildings, yards, gardens, and orchards was not just the base from which cultivators set out to work in the fields, meadows, and woods. Much of the working lives of the family, especially the females, was devoted to processing crops for household consumption and sale. Food preparation has left archaeological traces such as fragments of hand-mills for home grinding of grain and malt in the home, and shallow pottery pans for dairying; meat production is suggested by butchers’ waste. The article argues that the rural poor made skilful adaptations to their environment.

The project intended to increase the outreach of agricultural extension services to help farmers become aware of and adopt economically viable and environmentally sustainable technologies and practices. The paper examines the impact of the Rural Capacity Building Project using panel data on 1,485 geographically dispersed households in project and control kebeles. The results show that the strengthening of extension services had a positive impact on economic participation in the household, land area cultivated, and adoption of marketable crops, suggesting that access to extension helped farmers switch to more commercial, market-oriented agriculture. In addition, and contrary to previous evidence from other countries, female-headed households seem to have benefited equally from the project. However, the project was not able to reduce the preexisting gender gap in agricultural outcomes.

This article offers a historical analysis of the contributions of U.S. interwar agricultural economics to the economics of information. Concerned with improving the circulation of information on agricultural markets, agricultural economists analyzed the relationship between agents' information and the behavior of prices on agricultural commodity exchanges, thus anticipating modern debates on informational efficiency. We show that these debates were part of a more general context of agricultural market reform led by the U.S. administration to improve the production and diffusion of economic information. We argue that such reforms were a prerequisite for theoretical discussions on information, and established institutional tools that are still active today, such as the USDA market news service.

Die Schulen wurden in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz ab Mitte März geschlossen (...). Die Bundesländer in Deutschland sind zunächst sehr unterschiedlich vorgegangen, ebenso in der Schweiz die verschiedenen Kantone, z.B. hinsichtlich Ferienregelungen, unterschiedlichen Formen der Betreuung und der Anwesenheit von schulischen Mitarbeitenden sowie hinsichtlich der Lehr-Lern-Arrangements (zunächst Aufgaben zur Wiederholung und noch kein weiterer neuer Unterrichtsstoff). Ziel des Schul-Barometers ist die Beschreibung der aktuellen Schulsituation in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz aus Sicht verschiedener Personengruppen. Damit soll ein Beitrag zum Erfahrungsaustausch geleistet werden im Sinne von „Responsible Science“ in der Beschreibung der Krisensituation und der Auswirkungen auf Schule und Bildung. Das Schul-Barometer wurde in der Zeit vom 24. März bis 5. April 2020 durchgeführt. Zu den Befragten gehören Schülerinnen und Schüler, Eltern, Schulleitung, Lehrerinnen und Lehrer, Sonderpädagoginnen und Sonderpädagogen, Sozialpädagoginnen und Sozialpädagogen, Erzieherinnen und Erzieher, Vertreterinnen und Vertreter der Schulverwaltung/Schulaufsicht, Personen aus Unterstützungssystemen (z.B. Fort-/Weiterbildung, Schulentwicklungsbegleitung). Befragt wurden 7.116 Personen. Das Schul-Barometer umfasst u.a. die Themen: Aktuelle häusliche Lebenssituation von Schülerinnen und Schülern; Belastungssituation von Eltern und Schule; Betreuungssituation von Schülerinnen und Schülern; Informationsfluss Behörde-Schule-Eltern und zwischen Mitarbeitenden der Schule und Schülerinnen und Schülern; Digitale Lehr-Lern-Formate: Erfahrungen und Empfehlungen; Rolle der Schulleitung; Rolle, Motivation, Kompetenzen von Mitarbeitenden der Schule; Bedarfe, Bedürfnisse, Wünsche aus Sicht von Eltern, Schülerinnen und Schülern, Mitarbeitenden der Schule, Schulleitungen, Vertreterinnen und Vertretern von Behörden/Verwaltung sowie Unterstützungssystemen.

It explains how rice was farmed traditionally, what makes it different from other major staple crops, and why these differences could shape culture. Next, the chapter reviews empirical evidence that people who have grown up in the rice areas of China have different relationship styles and thought styles from people in the wheat areas. It also discusses why the rice theory is not ecological determinism—rice does not automatically lead to collectivism. Finally, it asks whether modernization is signaling the death of rice culture or whether cultures rooted in historical subsistence style can persist even after less than 2% of the population actually farms for a living.

In this work, a versatile self-supervised LiDAR odometry estimation method is presented, in order to enable the efficient utilization of all available LiDAR data while maintaining real-time performance. The proposed approach selectively applies geometric losses during training, being cognizant of the amount of information that can be extracted from scan points. In addition, no labeled or ground-truth data is required, hence making the presented approach suitable for pose estimation in applications where accurate ground-truth is difficult to obtain. Furthermore, the presented network architecture is applicable to a wide range of environments and sensor modalities without requiring any network or loss function adjustments. The proposed approach is thoroughly tested for both indoor and outdoor real-world applications through a variety of experiments using legged, tracked and wheeled robots, demonstrating the suitability of learning-based LiDAR odometry for complex robotic applications. 2021 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) ISBN:978-1-7281-9077-8 ISBN:978-1-7281-9078-5

Yet robust stylized facts are hard to come by, and when available, often outdated. In a special issue of Food Policy, 12 papers revisit conventional wisdom on African agriculture and its farmers' livelihoods using nationally representative surveys from the Living Standards Measurement Study-Integrated Surveys on Agriculture Initiative in six African countries. At times, the findings simply confirm the common understanding of the topic. But the studies also throw up several surprises, redirecting some policy debates while fine-tuning others. Overall, the project calls for more attention to checking and updating the common wisdom. This requires nationally representative data, and sufficient incentives among researchers and policy makers alike. Without well-grounded stylized facts, they can easily be profoundly misguided.

Rural settlements with their houses and plots may contain evidence for agricultural tasks such as ploughing, tools of cultivation, and the storage of crops as well as space for the production of pigs, poultry, honey, and garden produce. The house, its buildings, yards, gardens, and orchards was not just the base from which cultivators set out to work in the fields, meadows, and woods. Much of the working lives of the family, especially the females, was devoted to processing crops for household consumption and sale. Food preparation has left archaeological traces such as fragments of hand-mills for home grinding of grain and malt in the home, and shallow pottery pans for dairying; meat production is suggested by butchers’ waste. The article argues that the rural poor made skilful adaptations to their environment.

The project intended to increase the outreach of agricultural extension services to help farmers become aware of and adopt economically viable and environmentally sustainable technologies and practices. The paper examines the impact of the Rural Capacity Building Project using panel data on 1,485 geographically dispersed households in project and control kebeles. The results show that the strengthening of extension services had a positive impact on economic participation in the household, land area cultivated, and adoption of marketable crops, suggesting that access to extension helped farmers switch to more commercial, market-oriented agriculture. In addition, and contrary to previous evidence from other countries, female-headed households seem to have benefited equally from the project. However, the project was not able to reduce the preexisting gender gap in agricultural outcomes.

This article offers a historical analysis of the contributions of U.S. interwar agricultural economics to the economics of information. Concerned with improving the circulation of information on agricultural markets, agricultural economists analyzed the relationship between agents' information and the behavior of prices on agricultural commodity exchanges, thus anticipating modern debates on informational efficiency. We show that these debates were part of a more general context of agricultural market reform led by the U.S. administration to improve the production and diffusion of economic information. We argue that such reforms were a prerequisite for theoretical discussions on information, and established institutional tools that are still active today, such as the USDA market news service.

Die Schulen wurden in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz ab Mitte März geschlossen (...). Die Bundesländer in Deutschland sind zunächst sehr unterschiedlich vorgegangen, ebenso in der Schweiz die verschiedenen Kantone, z.B. hinsichtlich Ferienregelungen, unterschiedlichen Formen der Betreuung und der Anwesenheit von schulischen Mitarbeitenden sowie hinsichtlich der Lehr-Lern-Arrangements (zunächst Aufgaben zur Wiederholung und noch kein weiterer neuer Unterrichtsstoff). Ziel des Schul-Barometers ist die Beschreibung der aktuellen Schulsituation in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz aus Sicht verschiedener Personengruppen. Damit soll ein Beitrag zum Erfahrungsaustausch geleistet werden im Sinne von „Responsible Science“ in der Beschreibung der Krisensituation und der Auswirkungen auf Schule und Bildung. Das Schul-Barometer wurde in der Zeit vom 24. März bis 5. April 2020 durchgeführt. Zu den Befragten gehören Schülerinnen und Schüler, Eltern, Schulleitung, Lehrerinnen und Lehrer, Sonderpädagoginnen und Sonderpädagogen, Sozialpädagoginnen und Sozialpädagogen, Erzieherinnen und Erzieher, Vertreterinnen und Vertreter der Schulverwaltung/Schulaufsicht, Personen aus Unterstützungssystemen (z.B. Fort-/Weiterbildung, Schulentwicklungsbegleitung). Befragt wurden 7.116 Personen. Das Schul-Barometer umfasst u.a. die Themen: Aktuelle häusliche Lebenssituation von Schülerinnen und Schülern; Belastungssituation von Eltern und Schule; Betreuungssituation von Schülerinnen und Schülern; Informationsfluss Behörde-Schule-Eltern und zwischen Mitarbeitenden der Schule und Schülerinnen und Schülern; Digitale Lehr-Lern-Formate: Erfahrungen und Empfehlungen; Rolle der Schulleitung; Rolle, Motivation, Kompetenzen von Mitarbeitenden der Schule; Bedarfe, Bedürfnisse, Wünsche aus Sicht von Eltern, Schülerinnen und Schülern, Mitarbeitenden der Schule, Schulleitungen, Vertreterinnen und Vertretern von Behörden/Verwaltung sowie Unterstützungssystemen.

It explains how rice was farmed traditionally, what makes it different from other major staple crops, and why these differences could shape culture. Next, the chapter reviews empirical evidence that people who have grown up in the rice areas of China have different relationship styles and thought styles from people in the wheat areas. It also discusses why the rice theory is not ecological determinism—rice does not automatically lead to collectivism. Finally, it asks whether modernization is signaling the death of rice culture or whether cultures rooted in historical subsistence style can persist even after less than 2% of the population actually farms for a living.
