Abstract:
Conventionally defined, “global commodities” refer to raw materials and basic foodstuffs—sugar, bananas, cotton, coal, bauxite—that are extracted or grown in one area of the world and sold on the world market for industrial or consumer use elsewhere. Labor historians focusing on the point of extraction/production or tracking the production and circulation of specific global commodities have gained insight into the development of global capitalism, in particular relations between colonized and colonizer, developing countries and advanced industrial countries. From Sidney Mintz's Sweetness and Power: The Place of Sugar in Modern History (1986) to Mark Kurlansky's Cod: The Biography of the Fish that Changed the World (1998) scholars and general readers alike have found in studies of a single commodity a productive method for understanding social relations in the making of the modern world.

Abstract:
Agricultural development is defined as an integral part of economic and society development as a whole which is implemented in a planned manner. The role of the Government is as a stimulator and facilitator, so that the economic activities of farmers can be optimized albeit the many problems faced. The purpose of this study is to see how the form of agricultural development policy and its implementation on agricultural industry commodities as well as to understand the problems to improve the policies and overcome the existing problems. The method used in this study is the systematic literature review. The results of the study put forward several policies on agricultural industry commodity related to price, macroeconomic, investmentand supply chain management. Problems in agricultural development include technological, institutional, marketing and information issues. Supply chain management policy becomes the most important policy because it has a more comprehensive scope covering raw material supply management, activities among supply chain actors, pricing on each supply chain actor, to providing the necessary investment in the supply chain process. Implementers of supply chain management policies include supply chain management actors from upstream to downstream. Improvements made are shortening supply chain path by providing a meeting point of various related parties ranging from farmers as producers, intermediary traders to end consumers. The ultimate goal is expected supply chain will be shorter, travel distribution becomes faster, sharing of information, management of technology and existence of institutional network among supply chain actors.

Abstract:
This study aims to examine volatility of strategic food commodities price in Indonesia before and during Covid-19 pandemic and to analyze the influence of GRDP and Covid-19 pandemic on prices of strategic food commodities price in Indonesia. Data used is panel data with time series data for quarter 2018-2021 cross section of 34 provinces in Indonesia and uses variation analysis method and panel regression. The results of the analysis show that prices of agricultural commodities, garlic, red chilies, and chicken were more varied before pandemic than during Covid-19 pandemic. Price of cayenne pepper, shallots, beef, and chicken eggs are more varied during pandemic than before Covid-19 pandemic. Prices of industrial commodities, cooking oil and sugar are more varied during pandemic than before Covid-19 pandemic, while price of rice was stable. The result of Random Effect Model regression found that Covid-19 pandemic has positive effect on price of agriculture and industrial strategic food commodities in Indonesia. GRDP only has negative effect on price of industrial strategic food commodities.

AbstractIn the nineteenth century, members of the Rio de Janeiro-based Sociedade Auxiliadora da Industria Nacional promoted the development of new agro-industrial commodities from Brazil's native forests as substitutes for expensive foreign imports. Influenced by late colonial scientists and reformers who followed the political economy of Carl Linnaeus, the society turned a Portuguese imperial project of economic revitalisation into a vision for developing the nation's post-independence economy. For society members, Brazil's ‘industrial forests’ were essential for economic independence and defined the new nation's place in an emerging global capitalist system.

Abstract:
COVID-19's negative externalities disrupted the supply of several commodities. Meanwhile, to combat the spread of COVID-19, various countries have implemented a lockdown policy, which impacts the economy's balance. Consumers' risks are increasing due to economic changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which affects the higher level of volatility of various agricultural commodities in Indonesia, particularly strategic commodities. Thus, this research was designed to examine the experience shock of strategic food consumers during Covid-19 pandemic. The ARCH/GARCH model was used to describe the strategic food price movement pattern using a set of weekly consumer price data from March 2020 until August 2021. This study found price volatility of strategic food commodities is classified into three categories. For starters, the extreme volatility of commodities such as garlic and cayenne pepper indicates that future buyers will face more significant uncertainty and risk. Furthermore, these commodities will generate fluctuating price swings in the future, resulting in greater experience shock for consumers. Second, commodities with high price volatility, such as rice, chicken meat, eggs, shallots, and sugar, signal that these commodities will subject consumers to a huge shock due to their high price volatility. Third, minimal volatility, such as that found in meat, red chilli, and cooking oil, indicates that customers will face less uncertainty in the future.

Abstract:
Analyses have been made of the future patterns of demand for three distinctly different products, namely, gallium arsenide (GaAs) semiconductor materials, magnetic recording media and cement. These products differ widely in terms of the world tonnage production levels, the cost/kilogram and the time scale over which these products have been used commercially. As a result, entirely different forecasting procedures must be adopted to estimate future demand. Thus, extensive historical data is available on production, consumption and trade in cement so that 'intensity of use' methods can be used to predict demand to the year 2000. In contrast, since detailed commercial data does not exist for new products such as magnetic recording media and GaAs semiconductors, it is necessary to employ Delphi procedures based on expert opinion in these fields and, since the expected errors are larger than those with established statistical techniques, the forward projection must be limited to the mid 1990's. The following conclusions could be drawn from the analysis: (a) Current consumption will grow from 878 million tonnes in 1981 to 1.5 billion by the end of the century, due largely to increased demand in developing countries. This represents an increase in product value to 34 billion by the year 2000. (b) The market for magnetic recording media is estimated to increase from 5 billion in 1981 to over 16 billion by 1992. (c) An even more marked growth in GaAs activity is forecast, with a projected increase from 200 million to over 4 billion in the period from 1981 to 1992.

Abstract:
Marknaden för industriella distributörer har upplevt stora förändringar under de senaste decennierna. Trots att industribolag nu har större möjligheter att sälja direkt via internet har distributörerna generellt sett stärkt sin position av flera anledningar. Forskningen har emellertid förespråkat att det är starka samarbeten som skapar värde i distributionskanalen. I huvudsak har detta påvisats med kvantitativa studier och forskare har därför efterfrågat kvalitativa ansatser. Delvis med målet att fylla detta forskningsgap utfördes en fallstudie om ABB Low Voltage Products distributörsförsäljning av produktkategori Pilot Devices, som bland annat innefattar tryckknappar. Pilot Devices valdes eftersom de är typiska distributörsprodukter i flera avseenden. Vad som också är uppenbart för produktkategorin är att den är högst standardiserad, utan tydlig differentiering mot konkurrenterna. Med bakgrund av detta intogs ett speciellt perspektiv i studien: hur kan marknadsföringen genom distributörer förbättras för en standardiserad produktkategori? Elva semistrukturerade intervjuer utfördes med distributörer i Sverige och Storbritannien samt därtill 25 observationsstudier i butiker. För att bättre förstå kundernas behov skedde fem intervjuer med panelbyggare, den typiske kunden för produkterna. Det empiriska materialet visade att distributörers behov skiljer sig åt markant, vilket tidigare modeller inte beaktat. Leverantörer måste förstå de olika distributörstypernas behov för att styra kanalen effektivt. För stora distributörskedjor är monetära incitament, ett åtagande att jobba på slutmarknaden och produktdata för internetförsäljning i fokus. För mindre distributörer, som ofta måste konkurrera med teknisk expertis, är bland annat produktträning och en nära relation av yttersta vikt. Studien bekräftade tidigare forskning som påpekat att en tydlig ansvarsfördelning och effektiv kommunikation är väsentligt för samarbetena. Detta visade sig vara viktigt oavsett typ av distributör. Studien av panelbyggarna visade att dessa generellt hade ett högst repetitivt köpbeteende som ofta styrs av tidigare ritningar eller krav från kunder. Distributörssegmentens värdeskapande aktiviteter och behov samt slutkundernas inverkan summerades i ett ramverk vilket uppfyllde studiens syfte: en vägledning för hur tillverkande industriföretag kan förbättra marknadsföringen via distributörer för standardiserade produkter.
The industrial distributor market has experienced great changes during the recent decades. Manufacturers today have better possibilities reaching their customers directly by selling through the Internet, but the distributors have in general strengthened their positions, due to several reasons. Most research concerning the manufacturer-distributor relationship has, however, indicated that collaboration is the key to creating value in the marketing channel. The majority of these studies have been quantitative, and researchers have requested more qualitative studies. Partly with the aim to fill this gap, a case study was conducted to investigate the distributor sales of ABB Low Voltage Products product category Pilot Devices, consisting of for example push buttons. Pilot Devices was chosen as it is a typical distributor product for many reasons. What also is evident is that it is a commoditized product, where it is hard to find differences between brands. With this background, the study was conducted through a certain lens: how can the marketing through distributors be improved for commoditized products? Eleven semi-structured interviews were conducted with distributors in Sweden and the United Kingdom together with 25 observational studies in distributor stores. In order to obtain a deep understanding of the end customer’s need, five interviews with panel builders, a typical customer type, was conducted. The empirical data showed that the distributors’ needs differ significantly, which has been neglect by previous studies. Manufacturers must develop an understanding for these needs in order to manage the channel effectively. For large distributors, monetary incentives, an end-market commitment and product data were priorities. For smaller, technical oriented, distributors, product training and marketing material were distinct needs. The study confirmed previous studies stating that clear allocation of responsibilities and effective communication are important. The study of the panel builders showed that they have a highly repetitive buying behavior, often affected by previous blueprints or by their customer’s requirements. The distributor segments’ value adding activities, their needs and the impact of the end customer were incorporated into a framework that fulfilled the study’s purpose: a guideline how manufacturing companies can improve their marketing through distributors for commoditized products.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigates the predictive power of six bivariate GARCH-CCC (constant conditional correlation) models; the GARCH (1, 1), BEKK GARCH (1, 1), GARCH-X (1, 1), BEKK-X (1, 1), GARCH-GJR (1, 1) and QGARCH (1, 1) based on both normal and student’s t distributions. Empirical investigations are conducted by forecasting the daily hedge ratios from agricultural futures markets using one-step-ahead over 1 year and 2 year out-of-sample period. The forecasting of OHR in agricultural and commodities’ futures markets has not been studied thoroughly and few publications are available in literature. My work enriches the literature and will hopefully provide guidance for hedging in these markets. To forecast the OHR, we apply data from three storable commodities, coffee, wheat and soybean and two non-storable commodities, live cattle and live hog. Four tests are conducted to evaluate the forecasting errors of out-of-sample forecasted return of the portfolio based on the forecasted OHR. Our study shows that the asymmetric GARCH model outperforms other models, and the standard GARCH is the weakest for 1-year forecast. However, the standard GARCH model performs well for 2-year forecast of live cattle with student’s t distributed residuals. More generally, the BEKK and asymmetric GJR and QGARCH models are recommended to forecast OHR on both 1-year and 2-year horizons with normal and student’s t distributions for storable products and the asymmetric models for non-storable commodities. Furthermore, our study demonstrates that the predictive power of GARCH models depends on the distribution of residuals, the commodity and also the length of the forecast horizons. This result is consistent with the those from Poon and Granger (2003) and Chen et.al (2003). Given accurately forecasted OHR, investors can determine appropriate hedging strategies for portfolio management to reduce or transfer risks, and prepare for the capital needed for hedging.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Globalization has shifted to a level where market competition is tougher. Therefore, multinational companies focus on cutting cost along the company’s supply chain with heavy scrutiny on procurement. Developing countries have become very attractive from which to strategically procure commodities because of low cost labour, especially from the People’s Republic of China. The business complexity, ethics and current market situation in China are often too modestly emphasized. Yet, these elements have a significant impact on the sourcing decision because it indirectly influences the total landed cost of a commodity but is not taken into account. Therefore, the total landed cost on which sourcing decisions are made, does not reflect the actual total landed cost of a commodity. In many cases multinational companies sourcing from China do not realise the impact of the hidden cost involved and do not reach the expected cost savings as calculated. The purpose of this study is to explore why more attention must be paid to hidden cost when automotive commodities are procured from China. This, as well as the research methodology used in order to obtain the data, is explained in chapter one. Chapter two of this thesis illustrates the change in a company’s supply chain and discusses this in a global sourcing context. The sourcing commodity, which is the point of focus in this study, is automotive commodities sourced from China and is discussed in chapter three. Based on China’s increased presence in global sourcing of automotive commodities, chapter four focuses on China’s integration into the global supply chain. The influential factors that have an impact (hidden cost) on the actual landed cost of commodities sourced from China are described in chapter five and identified as guanxi, indirect business logistic obstacles, quality of goods and supply, management, the labour market and training, and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). In chapter six the influential factors, as described in chapter five, are analysed through a case study of Daimler Chrysler China Limited. Chapter seven is a comparative study of Japan’s miracle economy from 1960-1980 and the current economic trends in China to determine whether it will be feasible to procure automotive commodities from China in the future with regards to the economic indicators.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Globalisering het verskuif na ʼn vlak waar mark kompetisie meer gekonsentreerd is. Daarom fokus multinasionale maatskappye ernstig daarop om kostes langs die aanvoerketting van die maatskappy te verminder deur te konsentreer op die aanskaffingsproses. Ontwikkelende lande het uiters aanloklik geword as bestemming in die strategiese aanskaffingsproses van goedere weens lae arbeidskoste, veral vanaf Sjina. Tans word die besigheidskompleksiteit, etiek en die markkondisie in Sjina meestal onderbeklemtoon. Daarenteen het die faktore ‘n gewigtige impak op die aanskaffingsbesluit omdat dit die totale koste by aankoms indirek beïnvloed. Gevolglik reflekteer die totale koste by aankoms, waarop aanskaffigsbesluite gegrond word, nie die werklike koste van aankoms van goedere nie. In menige gevalle behaal multinasionale maatskappye nie die verwagte kostebesparing soos bereken vir goedere wat vanaf Sjina aangeskaf word nie omdat die multinasionale maatskappye onbewus is van die impak wat die versteekte koste op die totale koste by aankoms het. Die doel van hierdie studie is ‘n ondersoek na die redes waarom daar meer beklemtoning moet wees op versteekte koste wanneer goedere uit Sjina aangeskaf word. Dit, sowel as die navorsingmetodes wat gebruik is om die inligting vir die studie in te win en akkuraat deur te gee, word verduidelik in hoofstuk een. Hoofstuk twee bespreek die verandering in 'n maatskappy se aanvoerketting in ʼn globale aanskaffingskonteks. Hoofstuk drie fokus op redes vir Sjina se toenemende verteenwoordige rol in die globale aanskaffing van goedere en op die aanskaffing van motorvoertuigparte uit Sjina. Met betrekking tot die globale aanskaffing van goedere word die integrasie van Sjina in die globale aanskaffingsketting in hoofstuk vier bespreek. Die beïnvloedende faktore wat 'n impak (versteekte koste) op die werklike koste by aankoms van die motorvoertuigparte wat aangeskaf word vanaf Sjina het, word bespreek in hoofstuk vyf en geïdentifiseer as guanxi, indirekte besigheidslogistiek hindernisse, die kwaliteit van goedere en die aanskaffing daarvan, bestuur in Sjina, die Sjinese arbeidsmark en opleiding in die werksplek, en intellektuele eiendomsreg. In hoofstuk ses word die beïnvloedende faktore (soos bespreek in hoofstuk vyf) geanaliseer deur ʼn gevalle studie van Daimler Chrysler Sjina Beperk. Hoofstuk sewe is ʼn vergelykende studie tussen Japan se wonder ekonomie van 1960-1980 en die huidige ekonomiese tendens in Sjina om te bepaal hetsy dit moontlik sal wees om motorvoertuigparte aan te skaf vanaf Sjina in die toekoms met betrekking tot die ekonomiese indikatore.

Doutoramento em Engenharia e Gestão Industrial
Over the past couple of decades, a long list of events has brought supply chain risk to the main stage of supply chain management literature, both academic and professional. More importantly, supply chain risk is now a daily concern for supply chain managers who see their global supply chains exposed to an endless list of potential causes for disturbances. Although the literature on supply chain risk management has increased enormously in past few years, there are only a handful of researchers who have addressed the topic in the context of commodities supply chains. Furthermore, most of the research that does address risk in commodities supply chains does so by focusing on commodities price risk. This thesis addresses commodities supply risk management with a view to establishing whether commodity price risk is the indeed the most relevant risk, as the attention it receives seems to suggest. It does so by using the example of steel supply chains and trying to establish which risks are the most relevant from the point of view of companies that are considered major steel buyers. With that purpose in mind, interviews have been carried out in two groups of companies - a multi-sector group and group of companies that are major steel buyers – to ascertain which supply risks are the most relevant for those companies and how they deal with those risks. Using those two groups a comparative analysis is carried out. Having carried out an extensive literature review and benefiting from the insights provided by the interviews, this research suggests that the complexity of the concepts involved, some confusion created by the different risk classifications in the literature and the lack of knowledge in important issues with an impact on risk are detrimental to the practical usefulness of theory, from a managerial point of view. With that concern in mind, this thesis suggests a framework for systematic supply risk management that incorporates a different approach to supply risk identification as its first step. This framework aims at being a practical tool to assist supply chain managers in their decision-making process.
Ao longo do último par de décadas, uma longa lista de acontecimentos trouxe o risco na cadeia de abastecimento para o palco principal da literatura relativa à gestão da cadeia de abastecimento, tanto de natureza académica como profissional. Mais importante, o risco na cadeia de abastecimento é agora uma preocupação diária para gestores de cadeia de abastecimento que veem as suas cadeias de abastecimento globais exposta a uma infindável lista de potenciais causas de perturbação. Apesar de a literatura relativa à gestão do risco na cadeia de abastecimento ter aumentado consideravelmente nos últimos anos, apenas um pequeno número de investigadores abordou este tópico no contexto das cadeias de abastecimento de commodities. Acresce que, a maior parte da literatura que aborda o tópico fá-lo focando o risco de variação do preço das commodities. A presente tese aborda a gestão do risco de abastecimento de commodities com vista a apurar se o risco de variação do preço é, de facto, o risco mais relevante, tal como a atenção que lhe é dada parece sugerir. Fá-lo usando o exemplo das cadeias de abastecimento de aço e tentando apurar quais os riscos mais relevantes, do ponto de vista de empresas consideradas grandes compradoras de aço. Tendo em vista este propósito, foram levadas a cabo entrevistas em dois grupos de empresas – um grupo englobando vários sectores e um grupo de empresas grandes compradoras de aço – para apurar quais os riscos mais relevantes que afectam a cadeia de abastecimento para aquelas empresas e como estas lidam com eles. É efectuada uma análise comparativa com base naqueles dois grupos de empresas. Tendo sido levada a cabo uma extensa revisão da literatura e beneficiando das informação recolhida com as entrevistas, esta tese sugere que a complexidade dos conceitos envolvidos na gestão do risco na cadeia de abastecimento, alguma confusão criada pelas inúmeras classificações na literatura e a falta de conhecimento relativamente a alguns aspectos com impacto no risco prejudicam a utilidade da teoria na prática, do ponto de vista dos gestores. Tendo em conta esta preocupação, a presente tese sugere um quadro para uma gestão do risco de abastecimento sistemática, incorporando uma abordagem diferente à identificação do risco como seu primeiro passo. Pretende-se que esta seja uma ferramenta prática que possa assistir os gestores de cadeia de abastecimento no seu processo de decisão.

This work aims at analysing the impacts associated with oil extraction from the Brazilian pre-salt layers, particularly those concerning the balance of trade, the Dutch disease and the deindustrialization process. We present data indicating that Brazil is facing a deindustrialization process due, to a great extent, to the effects of the Dutch disease, which is evident from the reduction of the manufacturing sector s contribution to GDP and from the increasing importance of primary goods exports in the export basket. We consider the potential for wealth creation, the negative impacts associated with oil extraction from pre-salt layers and suggest some alternatives to minimize such impacts. Hence, in order to avoid further aggravation of foreign exchange and deindustrialization problems due to pre-salt oil exports, we present a number of suggested measures, with an emphasis on consistent industrial policies, capable of stimulating various segments, thus reverting the deindustrialization process and directing pre-salt revenues towards the country s social and economic development. Petrobras, the state-owned oil sector company, has played and still plays a strategic role in pre-salt oil discovery and extraction. Moreover, it can be used to foster investments as a way of stimulating the development of its corresponding chain of goods and services
O trabalho tem por objetivo analisar os impactos da exploração do petróleo das camadas do pré-sal brasileiro, especialmente no que se refere à balança comercial, à doença holandesa e ao processo de desindustrialização. São apresentados dados que indicam que o Brasil enfrenta um processo de desindustrialização, em boa parte causado pelos efeitos da doença holandesa, verificado pela redução da participação da indústria manufatureira na composição do PIB e pela reprimarização da pauta de exportação. Avalia-se a potencial riqueza a ser gerada, os impactos negativos da exploração do pré-sal e sugere-se algumas alternativas para reduzir tais impactos. Assim, para evitar que os problemas cambiais e também da desindustrialização se agravem devido ao resultado das exportações do petróleo do pré-sal, são apresentadas algumas discussões para a utilização dos recursos, com ênfase para a instituição de uma política industrial consistente, capaz de estimular vários segmentos, que reverta o processo de desindustrialização e destine as rendas do pré-sal para o desenvolvimento social e econômico do país. A Petrobras, estatal do setor de petróleo, teve e tem um papel estratégico na descoberta e produção do petróleo do pré-sal. Ademais, pode ser utilizada como indutora dos investimentos de modo a estimular o desenvolvimento de toda a cadeia de bens e serviços a ela associada

Abstract:
AbstractThe future sustainable built environment focuses mainly on environmental conservation and technological innovation and development. However, with infrastructure development, the consumption of raw materials such as cement, gypsum, sand, and stones increases. Therefore, use of industrial waste as raw material in construction shall be proposed as a sustainable and environment friendly alternative. Also, the higher demand for mineral commodities have led to increased mining and hence increased mining waste. The mine tailings being the wastes from rocks and minerals processing, are generally rich in Si, Ca, Al, Mg, and Fe, and also have considerable amounts of heavy metals and metalloids such as Pb, As, Co, Cu, Zn, V, and Cr. When tailings contain sulphide minerals, it may also lead to acid mine drainage. This makes the effective and efficient recycling and reuse of mine waste a major environmental concern. However, the physical, mineralogical and chemical composition of the mine tailings renders it a suitable material for use in civil engineering applications. This paper discusses the use of mine tailings of different origins for different civil engineering applications such as bricks, ceramics, fine aggregates, coarse aggregate and cementitious binders. This approach has a potential to reduce the demand on existing natural resources to face the demands of the exponentially developing infrastructure.

Abstract:
AbstractGames, digital or otherwise, have always taken inspiration from their broader social, cultural and economic surroundings. They have been used to attempt to teach moral values and changed to reflect new, more modern, ideals. Their recent development is contingent on changing technological infrastructure, giving rise to a multi-billion pound entertainment commodity. Developing concurrently, gambling commodities are also deeply tied to technology with ever changing modern gambling industries reflecting shifting normative values about the role and position of gambling in our lives. As gambling has become more acceptable, more “normal”, its visibility has vastly increased. Against this backdrop it, perhaps, feels increasingly obvious that gambling would increasingly permeate digital games: game designers look to mechanics which hook people into products; games reflect broader societal trends and there is a pressing need to make returns on investments, commoditising play at a hitherto unknown scale.

Full text
Abstract:
The decarbonization of the energy, transport, and industrial sectors is an essential part of achieving net-zero CO2 emissions, to limit global warming to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels. Green hydrogen is emerging as one of the most versatile climate change mitigation tools, since it poses a unique potential to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors, such as freight transport, energy-intensive industries, and power systems highly dominated by fossil fuels. It also holds an alternative to produce fuels and chemical feedstock locally, using renewable energy without dependency on imported fuel, energy, or commodities. The Caribbean has defined as a priority its aim to enhance its energy security with resilient and low-carbon technologies while improving reliability, affordability, and sustainability of energy services. This report aims to contribute to the ongoing discussion on the role that green hydrogen can play to support the achievement of these goals and to provide an overview and guide for decision-makers in this area. Even though hydrogen is currently expensive for most applications at a global level, the exponential decrease in renewable energy costs in the last decade and the expected accelerated cost reduction of hydrogen technologies in the upcoming years are projected to drive an increase in the attractiveness of green hydrogen worldwide. As Caribbean countries are in the early stages of developing their renewable energy potential, there are opportunities to keep the cost decline of renewable energy production, enabling green hydrogen to get closer to achieving cost-competitiveness and could eventually become economically viable and a more broadly adopted solution.

Kolodziejczyk, Bart. Unsettled Issues Concerning the Use of Green Ammonia Fuel in Ground Vehicles. SAE International, February 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.4271/epr2021003.

Full text
Abstract:
While hydrogen is emerging as a clean alternative automotive fuel and energy storage medium, there are still numerous challenges to implementation, such as the economy of hydrogen production and deployment, expensive storage materials, energy intensive compression or liquefaction processes, and limited trial applications. Synthetic ammonia production, on the other hand, has been available on an industrial scale for nearly a century. Ammonia is one of the most-traded commodities globally and the second most-produced synthetic chemical after sulfuric acid. As an energy carrier, it enables effective hydrogen storage in chemical form by binding hydrogen atoms to atmospheric nitrogen. While ammonia as a fuel is still in its infancy, its unique properties render it as a potentially viable candidate for decarbonizing the automotive industry. Yet, lack of regulation and standards for automotive applications, technology readiness, and reliance on natural gas for both hydrogen feedstocks to generate the ammonia and facilitate hydrogen and nitrogen conversion into liquid ammonia add extra uncertainty to use scenarios. Unsettled Issues Concerning the Use of Green Ammonia Fuel in Ground Vehicles brings together collected knowledge on current and future prospects for the application of ammonia in ground vehicles, including the technological and regulatory challenges for this new type of clean fuel.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper explores how food inequities manifest at a territorial level, and how food territories are experienced, understood, and navigated by stakeholders to address those inequities. We interpret ‘food territory’ as a relational and transcalar concept, connected through geography, culture, history, and governance. We develop our exploration through four empirical cases: (i) the Cerrado, a disputed Brazilian territory that has been framed and reframed as a place for industrial production of global commodities, to the detriment of local communities and nature; (ii) urban agroecology networks seeking space and recognition to enable food production in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; (iii) informal food networks forming a complex web of intersecting local and global supply chains in Worcester, a secondary South African city; and (iv) periodic food markets in Ghana that synchronise trade systems across space and time to provide limited profit-making opportunities, but nonetheless accessible livelihood options, for poorer people. Examining these four cases, we identify commonalities and differences between them, in terms of the nature of their inequities and how different territories are connected on wider scales. We discuss how territories are perceived and experienced differently by different people and groups. We argue that a territorial perspective offers more than a useful lens to map how food inequities are experienced and interconnected; it also offers a tool for action.

Full text
Abstract:
This project focused on forecasting freight logistics needs and developing and analyzing capacity plans for INDOT to consider. The forecast timeframe ranges from the 2020 to 2045; the commodities considered are those used in the FHWA framework. We considered five SSP (Shared Socio-Economic Pathways) scenarios that are in sync with those used by the IPCC (International Protocol for Climate Change). We also use the IPCC forecasts of world GDP and FHWA forecasts to develop county-level freight forecasts by commodity. A survey of industry participants, primarily in manufacturing, suggests that Indiana industries are tied to the rest of the country and the world for supply of inputs as well as for demand markets. Finally, we focus on three different industries—the recreational vehicle (RV) industry in Elkhart County, the furniture industry in Dubois County, and the Honda plant in Decatur County—to illustrate the impact of bill of materials and growth forecasts on forecasted congestion and potential capacity mitigation. Our results suggest that proactive capacity planning can enable INDOT to anticipate and ease congestion and ensure continued economic competitiveness for Indiana industries.

Full text
Abstract:
Research Objectives 1) Reviewing the rich economic literature on contracting and agricultural contracting; 2) Conducting a descriptive comparative study of actual contracting patterns in the U.S. and Israeli agricultural sectors; 3) Theoretical analysis of division of assets ownership, authority allocation and incentives in agricultural production contracts; 4) Theoretical analysis of strategic noncompetitive choice of agricultural production and marketing contracts, 5) Empirical studies of contracting in agricultural sectors of US and Israel, among them the broiler industry, the citrus industry and sugar beet sector. Background Recent decades have witnessed a world-wide increase in the use of agricultural contracts. In both the U.S. and Israel, contracts have become an integral part of production and marketing of many crops, fruits, vegetables and livestock commodities. The increased use of agricultural contracts raises a number of important economic policy questions regarding the optimal design of contracts and their determinants. Even though economists have made a substantial progress in understanding these issues, the theory of contracts and an empirical methodology to analyze contracts are still evolving. Moreover, there is an enormous need for empirical research of contractual relationships. Conclusions In both U.S. and Israel, contracts have become an integral part of production and marketing of many agricultural commodities. In the U.S. more than 40% of the value of agricultural production occurred under either marketing or production contracts. The use of agricultural contracts in Israel is also ubiquitous and reaches close to 60% of the value of agricultural production. In Israel we have found strategic considerations to play a dominant role in the choice of agricultural contracts and may lead to noncompetitive conduct and reduced welfare. In particular, the driving force, leading to consignment based contracts is the strategic effect. Moreover, an increase in the number of contractors will lead to changes in the terms of the contract, an increased competition and payment to farmers and economic surplus. We found that while large integrations lead to more efficient production, they also exploit local monopsonistic power. For the U.S, we have studied in more detail the choice of contract type and factors that affect contracts such as the level of informational asymmetry, the authority structure, and the available quality measurement technology. We have found that assets ownership and decision rights are complements of high-powered incentives. We have also found that the optimal allocation of decision rights, asset ownership and incentives is influenced by: variance of systemic and idiosyncratic shocks, importance (variance) of the parties’ private information, parameters of the production technology, the extent of competition in the upstream and downstream industries. Implications The primary implication of this project is that the use of agricultural production and marketing contracts is growing in both the US and Israeli agricultural sectors, while many important economic policy questions are still open and require further theoretical and empirical research. Moreover, actual contracts that are prevailing in various agricultural sectors seems to be less than optimal and, hence, additional efforts are required to transfer the huge academic know-how in this area to the practitioners. We also found evidence for exploitation of market powers by contactors in various agricultural sectors. This may call for government regulations in the anti-trust area. Another important implication of this project is that in addition to explicit contracts economic outcomes resulting from the interactions between growers and agricultural intermediaries depend on a number of other factors including allocation of decision and ownership rights and implicit contracting. We have developed models to study the interactions between explicit contracts, decision rights, ownership structure, and implicit contracts. These models have been applied to study contractual arrangements in California agriculture and the North American sugarbeet industry.
