Abstract:

Our research paper surveys prior research on derivatives markets. We mainly review the literature investigating the impact of introducing derivatives markets on the underlying market and the overall economic development. Particularly, we summarize papers investigating the effects on the spot market liquidity, spot market volatility, and the price discovery process. We review the literature on several countries, but the survey paper appears to be concentrated on Saudi Arabia. Our paper contributes to the literature and sheds light on introducing the derivatives market in Saudi Arabia. This survey is useful to policymakers and investors as well.

Abstract:

We introduce a new method for converting individual probability estimates (obtained through surveys) into market orders for use in a Continuous Double Auction prediction market. Our Survey-Powered Market Agent (SPMA) algorithm is based on actual forecaster behavior, and offers notable advantages over existing market agent algorithms such as Zero Intelligence Plus (ZIP) agents: SPMAs only require probability estimates (and not bid direction nor quantity), are more behaviorally realistic, and work well when probabilities change over time. We validate SPMA using prediction market data and probability estimates elicited through surveys from a large set of forecasters on 88 individual forecasting problems over the course of a year. SPMA outperforms simple averages of the same probability forecasts and is competitive with sophisticated opinion poll aggregation methods and prediction markets. We use a rich set of market and poll data to empirically test the assumptions behind SPMA’s operation. In addition to aggregation efficiency, SPMA provides a framework for studying how forecasters convert probability estimates into trading orders, and offers a foundation for building hybrid markets which mix market traders and individuals producing independent probability estimates.

Abstract:

Research undertaken into the role of gamification in online surveys has already clearly demonstrated that applying some gamification principles can significantly increase the richness of spontaneous data and participant engagement, as well as the time that participants take to complete a survey. It is obviously appreciated that consumer engagement is critical for ensuring completion rates, reducing boredom within survey and also for panel membership moving forward, but the primary consideration and focus when designing any research survey has to be on accessing reality for the consumer and hence data validity. This paper shares the results of a research-on-research study that was conducted to understand the role of gamification, not only in terms of participant engagement and richness of data but also data validity.

Abstract:

To achieve commercial success, any skin care product having given functional properties will on the consumer market also depend on a high degree of attraction, comfort and effective marketing. To accomplish this, consumer surveys are necessary in the various stages of product development and the marketing process. A brief description of the latter is given and of the various types of related surveys. To illustrate certain product tests, examples are given of the relaunch of HTH in the nordic markets.

AbstractObjectiveThe present study examines the impact of Health Bucks, a farmers’ market incentive programme, on awareness of and access to farmers’ markets, and fruit and vegetable purchase and consumption in low-income New York City neighbourhoods.DesignThe evaluation used two primary data collection methods: (i) an on-site point-of-purchase survey of farmers’ market shoppers; and (ii) a random-digit-dial telephone survey of residents in neighbourhoods where the programme operates. Additionally, we conducted a quasi-experimental analysis examining differential time trends in consumption before and after programme introduction using secondary Community Health Survey (CHS) data.SettingNew York City farmers’ markets and communities.SubjectsFarmers’ market shoppers (n 2287) completing point-of-purchase surveys in a representative sample of New York City farmers’ markets in 2010; residents (n 1025) completing random-digit-dial telephone survey interviews in 2010; and respondents (n 35 606) completing CHS interviews in 2002, 2004, 2008 and 2009.ResultsGreater Health Bucks exposure was associated with: (i) greater awareness of farmers’ markets; (ii) increased frequency and amount of farmers’ market purchases; and (iii) greater likelihood of a self-reported year-over-year increase in fruit and vegetable consumption. However, our CHS analysis did not detect impacts on consumption.ConclusionsWhile our study provides promising evidence that use of farmers’ market incentives is associated with increased awareness and use of farmers’ markets, additional research is needed to better understand impacts on fruit and vegetable consumption.

Abstract:

The reproducibility of published research has become an important topic in science policy. A number of large-scale replication projects have been conducted to gauge the overall reproducibility in specific academic fields. Here, we present an analysis of data from four studies which sought to forecast the outcomes of replication projects in the social and behavioural sciences, using human experts who participated in prediction markets and answered surveys. Because the number of findings replicated and predicted in each individual study was small, pooling the data offers an opportunity to evaluate hypotheses regarding the performance of prediction markets and surveys at a higher power. In total, peer beliefs were elicited for the replication outcomes of 103 published findings. We find there is information within the scientific community about the replicability of scientific findings, and that both surveys and prediction markets can be used to elicit and aggregate this information. Our results show prediction markets can determine the outcomes of direct replications with 73% accuracy (n = 103). Both the prediction market prices, and the average survey responses are correlated with outcomes (0.581 and 0.564 respectively, both p < .001). We also found a significant relationship between p-values of the original findings and replication outcomes. The dataset is made available through the R package “pooledmaRket” and can be used to further study community beliefs towards replications outcomes as elicited in the surveys and prediction markets.

Full text

Abstract:

This study applies an ordered logistic regression to data collected in 2015 using in-person survey, mail, and online surveys from fresh produce vendors at farmers’ markets within the south central and western Kentucky regions. The purpose was to explain levels of difficult the vendors face when complying with market regulations. Results indicate that an average fresh produce vendor at farmers’ market is 26 percent likely going to comply with market regulations easily, 69 percent moderately, and 4 percent hardly. Participating in CSA and “local” labeling programs, years of farming experience, and being a male vendor are associated with finding relatively easy to comply with farmers markets regulations. Market managers and policy makers will find this study useful in ensuring that those regulations pose no greater difficult to the vendors. Likewise, findings are useful to the vendors for they indicate variables that make easier for them to comply with the regulations.

Abstract:

Subject. The article addresses the business surveys conducted by the departments of the leading research institutes of Germany and Russia. Objectives. The aim is to investigate the specifics of survey statistics of the German IFO Institute for Economic Research and the Russian Economic Barometer, based on the analysis of relationship between surveys and forecasting, database parameters and main survey indicators. Methods. The study employs the methods of logical and statistical analysis. Results. We consider the main characteristics of respondent databases, the issues of using survey indicators to compile market forecasts, the dimension of databases (topics and levels of aggregation that determine the number of generated time series), analytical tools for market research, information and analytical publications, main indicators of survey statistics and the peculiarities of limitations to production. Conclusions. The paper reveals the main differences between the business surveys of the Russian Economic Barometer and the surveys of the IFO Institute. The most important achievement of the IFO Institute is the development of the main indicator, which became the basis for reliable market forecasting in Germany – the Business Climate Index, calculated on the basis of the Present Situation Index and the index of business expectations for six months in advance. For successful development of entrepreneurial surveys in Russia, it is necessary to take into account the German experience, which has received wide international recognition.

Abstract:

Despite the acceptance of salary survey market data as justification for salary differentials, the whole area of collection, analysis, and interpretation has not been subject to the same scrutiny as hiring practices and testing. Many aspects of surveys have been ignored by researchers. Little can be said about the effects of different formats in the accuracy of data obtained, about ensuring comparability of job matches, about how representative relevant markets surveys are, or about reliability of analysis of survey results. This study has revealed the extent to which individual survey position averages have been obscured by the inclusion of data from different position grades. As a result, different approaches to the analysis of data from the same salary survey have resulted in different pay lines/curves.

Abstract:

High tunnels (HT) can reduce negative environmental strains on crop production and have been shown to extend the growing season for many small fruits and vegetables. Because HTs require relatively low initial investment compared with standard greenhouse structures, they are well suited for the small to mid-size grower. HTs provide a practical means of entry into intensive crop production for farmers who direct market their produce. By using HTs, direct market farmers may create a special marketing niche which set's them apart by offering locally grown vegetables, cut flowers, small fruits, and herbs earlier in the growing season and into the fall after frost. This project examined 1) the potential use of HTs for the production of fresh-market tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) and strawberries (Fragaria spp.) and 2) the seasonal market potential for these crops in Alabama. Viable markets were determined by conducting surveys at regional locations throughout Alabama, such as farmers markets, grocery stores, shopping centers, etc. Upscale restaurants were also surveyed to determine the demand for locally grown herbs. These surveys were used to determine target markets by asking demographic questions and determining spending habits. Justification for establishing a direct farmer-to-consumer market or a direct farmer to restaurant market for HT products was determined.

Abstract:

In recent years the world has seen an increase in the popularity of farmer’s markets, short food supply chains and local food systems. This growth can be attributed to the public’s growing consciousness of the impracticality of the global food system, globalization’s waste of fossil fuels, the fear of food chemicals, and small farmers’ desire to directly sell their products, among other things. Although there are a wealth of farmer’s market surveys and research on this topic that has been conducted over the past decades around the world, scant data have been collected about farmer’s markets in the south of Spain. This study focuses on the organic farmer’s market in Granada (Spain) and consists of five surveys developed in 8 years which are analyzed to help better understand this market that was first established in the Spring of 2013. It will also consider research on farmer’s markets in Europe and beyond in order to compare the situation of the Granada market as well as bringing in some new ideas of how it can be improved.

Abstract:

Survey researchers face declining response rates, due to lower contactability and more selective cooperation by potential respondents. Commercial market research companies are under even greater pressure than academic researchers as most commercial surveys do not have high social status. Several persuasion techniques to enhance cooperation have been used in academic surveys, though some of them might be considered unethical. Given the commercial pressures of time and cost, this study investigated the extent to which market research companies favoured these persuasion techniques. A survey of fieldwork managers in companies operating in Australia was conducted, along with qualitative research. It was found that some techniques were unacceptable as they threatened long-term relationships with the public, some were impractical and others were useful, but not for all surveys.

Abstract:

Abstract A 2000 survey of stumpage price reporting services was compared with surveys conducted in 1980 and 1990 to determine whether the information provided to nonindustrial private forestland owners had improved. Slightly fewer states issue reports today than in 1990, but private reports are now available for Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. The quality of most reports has changed little since 1990. Although market reporting can help landowners make intelligent management decisions, most NIPF owners do not participate in timber markets, and few who do participate engage professional foresters–a source of market information. The most pressing need in the market reporting system is transferring the information to the millions of landowners. The Internet is becoming a vehicle, but more outreach to NIPF owners is needed.

Abstract:

The article addresses the problem of identifying non-tariff barriers for businesses at external market, that has become more significant over the last few decades. The analysis of three major approaches to identifying non-tariff barriers –analysis of official reports, online survey and direct interview of exporters – revealsthe advantages of the latter. However, the reliability of data obtained from a survey crucially depends on the solution of various problems including the compilation of barrier list that the survey participants would use to respond. The experience of the existing studies shows that theUNCTAD classification of non– tariff measures is the one most frequently used.Building on the outcome of trial surveys, the authorsfind some disadvantages of applying this classification intactas this may distort the survey results. To solve this problem, the authors propose criteria for a barrier list and, finally, propose a modified list of barriers for company and enterprise surveys based on the UNCTAD classification.

Abstract:

Environmental economics has made it possible to estimate prices for air pollution externalities. However, these values are rarely observed in emissions trading markets. Moreover, market outcomes show prices persistently remain below expectations and frequently fall over time. Low allowance prices may appear virtuous, but often reflect poor market design that does not anticipate interaction with other policies, and may undermine confidence in market-based approaches to environmental policy. This paper surveys emissions markets and factors influencing prices, and concludes with a discussion of how market design can anticipate and remedy the strong tendency for low prices.

Abstract:

Local food, both from the perspective of the producer and the consumer, is becoming all the more popular topic in modern society. One of the places where the buyers and sellers of these products meet is the market. The research aim is to study the operation of local artisan and craftsman markets in Rezekne and the opportunities for improving their operation. The theoretical and practical aspects of artisan activity are described in the study; surveys have been conducted to find out the opinions of market visitors on the supply of the artisan market; data analysis and interpretation; and to make conclusions and suggestions for improving the operation of the local artisan and craftsman market in Rezekne. Research methods: logical construction, analysis, a survey, the graphical method. The study results in a conclusion that the buyers of the local artisan and craftsman market in Rezekne are satisfied with the supply; however there are opportunities for its improvement. The main aspects with the opportunities for improvement are: spreading information about the market, i.e. its advertisement, expanding the assortment offered, extending the opening hours of the market, expanding the premises and the parking space of the market.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the current state of the single European labor market (SELM), its related risks and opportunities, and identify useful measures for reaching the goal of increased European labor mobility. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted an online survey among European labor market experts (IZA research and policy fellows) on the current state of the SELM, its determinants, and the role of the Great Recession. The authors evaluate the data using descriptive and regression-based methods. Findings The experts agree on the SELM’s importance, especially for larger economic welfare, but are not convinced that it has been achieved. To enhance labor mobility across Europe, the respondents identify key factors such as recognizing professional qualifications more efficiently, harmonizing social security systems, and knowing several languages. Moreover, at least 50 percent of the respondents consider positive attitudes – by policy makers and citizens alike – toward free mobility to be important to enhance labor mobility. Originality/value The IZA Expert Opinion Survey presents a unique opportunity to learn how numerous experts think about the important issue of European labor market integration and moreover constitutes a valuable extension to public opinion surveys on related topics. This survey’s findings provide a sophisticated basis for a discussion about policy options regarding the SELM.

Abstract:

Purpose – The literature shows economics students to be more market oriented than students from other disciplines. A major shortcoming of this work, however, is that it is based on research carried out in the west. The purpose of this paper is to examine the attitudes of Turkish economics students’ towards markets. Design/methodology/approach – The study reported here uses a survey developed by Lephard and Breeden to investigate students’ attitudes towards markets. The survey consists of 11 market-positive statements and 11 market-negative statements. Participants were asked to indicate their level of agreement with each statement, placed at between 0 and 100 per cent and classified into 11 categories. The survey was administered to economics, physics and mathematics students from different universities. Then, responses of economics students and others are compared. Findings – The results show that Turkish students are less market friendly than their western counterparts. Contrary to the findings of other studies, in Turkey studying economics is found to have no effect on attitudes in this respect. Originality/value – First, almost all of the other studies in this realm are all based on surveys carried out in the west. To the best of the knowledge, this is the first study for other parts of the world. Second, results show that Turkish economics students are less market friendly than their western counterparts, and that studying economics has no significant effect on this. These results are surprising and contrary to the consensus in the literature.

Abstract:

Background: Mobile produce markets were increasingly recognized as an effective and accepted approach to improving access to fruits and vegetables in lower-income and at-risk communities during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. This study provides insights into how mobile market operations were impacted by, and evolved in response to, challenges posed by the pandemic. Methods: A survey evaluating impacts of the pandemic on mobile markets was distributed to a database of mobile market operators in the United States. Respondents were asked to describe impacts to their mobile market’s operations, and what adaptations were needed to continue to effectively serve their communities during 2020. Results: Surveys representing 48 unique mobile markets were collected from March to July 2021. Of the respondents, 63% reported an increase in demand for mobile market services from community members. Furthermore, 65% increased the amount of produce they distributed in 2020 as compared to 2019, often through adopting low or no-cost models or participating in pandemic government programs. Discussion: Emergency adaptations employed by mobile markets can inform long-term operational modifications for not only mobile markets, but also other food access programs, beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract:

As produce consumption has increased, so have foodborne disease outbreaks associated with fresh produce. Little research has addressed food safety practices used on small to medium-sized farms selling locally or in farmers markets. This study evaluated current food safety practices used by farmers on small to medium-sized farms and managers of farmers markets in Georgia, Virginia, and South Carolina based on responses to surveys. Surveys were developed, pretested, and revised before implementation with target audiences and were implemented via mail and the Web to maximize participation, with reminders sent to nonrespondents. Data were collected from 226 farmers and 45 market managers. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for all response variables. Responses from farmers indicated that more than 56% of them use manures. Of those who use manures, 34% use raw or mixtures of raw and composted manure, and over 26% wait fewer than 90 days between application of raw manure and harvest. Over 27% use water sources that have not been tested for safety for irrigation, and 16% use such water sources for washing produce. Over 43% do not sanitize surfaces that touch produce at the farm. Only 33% of farmers always clean transport containers between uses. Responses from market managers indicated that over 42% have no food safety standards in place for the market. Only 2 to 11% ask farmers specific questions about conditions on the farm that could affect product safety. Less than 25% of managers sanitize market surfaces. Only 11% always clean market containers between uses. Over 75% of markets offer no sanitation training to workers or vendors. While farmers and market managers are using many good practices, the results indicate that some practices being used may put consumers at risk of foodborne illness. Consequently, there is a need for training for both farmers and market managers.

Abstract:

The author analyzes the importance of conducting research for the process of providing trade services in retail and wholesale trade, using data from his own observations and research. The division of trade services by types of trade is considered, the differences in conducting research for the needs of substantiating trade services in retail and wholesale trade are considered. The application of storytelling in business planning is evaluated. Recommendations for conducting surveys are given, including using the example of the Yandex Forms toolkit. The pros and cons of the proposed scales of possible assessments for conducting surveys are considered separately. The necessity of regular monitoring of clients of trade organizations and feedback from employees is justified. The method of “critical cases” is described. The connection of trade services with the perceived quality of goods by consumers is considered.

Abstract:

Aim. The article aims at the analysis of the dynamics and the structure of the Russian markets of scholarly electronic information broken by reference groups of providers and users.Materials and Methods. Materials comprise results of the data processing of the Russian surveys on acquisition budgets in 2012–2018 and published results of the international surveys. We analyze three main reference groups and four sub-groups of the Russian organizations and three reference groups of providers of the electronic scholarly information. We obtained market shares of different reference groups of Russian subscribers and analyzed temporal dynamics of the market structure in 2012–2018.We obtained subscription chains and preferences broken by resource providers in Russia and compared our results with the results of the 2018 survey of American academics. We developed Russian rating of information providers and estimated market shares of each reference group.Results. The market of electronic scholarly information shows continuous concentration towards the group of universities. In 2018, relative share of the university segment of the market of electronic resources made 94%. Since 2015, the share of the reference group of the universities of the 5/100 project increased from 36% to 46%, whereas the share of two national Russian universities shrank from 12% to 9% in 2017–2018. The Russian market of electronic resources is broken in three nearly equal parts related to three groups of resource providers and producers: 35% belong to the group of international publishers, 36% – to the Russian subscription agents and 29% – to the Russian producers and providers of electronic information. Nine of ten organizations responded that they subscribe via Russian information vendors and subscription agents and four of ten – directly via international publishers. This result corresponds to the results of the Academic Library Collection Development Survey 2018.Conclusions. One can conclude that the Russian market of electronic resources is monopolized as referred to the users/consumers of scholarly electronic information and non-monopolized referring the providers and producers of electronic resources. The market comprises three almost equal segments related to three reference groups of providers and producers of electronic resources. The majority of Russian organizations subscribe to electronic resources via Russian electronic information producers or agents.

Abstract:

Predictions of future inflation rates shed light on the path of the economy and inform central banks’ policy rate decisions. Two commonly used sources of inflation forecasts are surveys and market-based inflation expectations. Survey-based inflation expectations, such as those from the Survey of Professional Forecasters, are derived by eliciting responses from a group of respondents about their beliefs.

Abstract:

The article deals with the problem of determining market boundaries for antitrust law enforcement in the field of telecommunications. An empirical approach has been proposed for determining the product boundaries of the market in the area of mass distribution of messages, taking into account the comparative characteristics of the types and methods of notification (informing) of end users; the possibilities of switching from one way of informing to another, including the evolution of such opportunities under the influence of technological changes; switching between different notification methods. Based on the use of surveys of customers of sending SMS messages, it is shown that the product boundaries should include not only sending messages via SMS, but also e-mail, instant messengers, Push notifications and voice information. The paper illustrates the possibilities of applying the method of critical loss analysis to determining the boundaries of markets based on a mixture of surveys and economic modeling.

Abstract:

Tracking the value added by brands over time and across market segments can be an important input to corporate strategic planning. Unfortunately, measures of value added by brands have relied on elaborate consumer experiments or surveys. We propose a measure or index of value added by brands (IVAB) that can be computed from market price-sales data. As a practical and low-cost tool, the IVAB can be used to monitor on a regular basis a company's brand management activity and its relative position in markets where competitors influence each other's performance. The computation of IVAB is illustrated with secondary price-sales data on the Indian toilet soap market.

Abstract:

Access to informal fresh food markets plays a vital role in household food security and dietary quality in transitioning rural economies. However, it is not well understood if market access also improves child nutrition and if the improvement applies to all socioeconomic groups. In this secondary research study, we combined a national listing of food markets (n = 503) with a national household survey to examine the associations of market access with diet and height across wealth groups in children aged 6 to 23 months in rural Cambodia. All children under two years of age with dietary data (n = 1537) or anthropometry data (n = 989) were selected from the household survey. Food markets were geocoded using Google Maps or villages’ geographical coordinates publicly available in the Open Development Mekong data platform. Regression calibration was then used to estimate household distance to the nearest market. Descriptive results indicated a highly uneven distribution of food markets with median household distance to the nearest markets ranging between 4 km (IQR: 3–8 km) in the lowland areas and 9 km (IQR: 4–17 km) in the highland areas. Results from the multivariate linear regressions showed that distance to the nearest market was modestly associated with child dietary diversity score (β: -0.17; 95% CI: -0.29, -0.05) but it was not related to child height-for-age z-score, and that household wealth did not modify the associations between distance to markets and child dietary diversity score. These findings suggest that improving access to food markets alone might not lead to meaningful improvement in child diet. Detailed surveys on household food acquisition are needed to clarify the role of food markets relative to other food sources such as subsistence fisheries, subsistence gardening and mobile food traders.

Knowledge of autocorrelation is important in the context of the trend estimation of labor market parameters. Dismissal of autocorrelation can result in the trend curve it will be fraught with volatility, characteristic of auto-regression processes. Estimation errors are not observable, thus it is not possible to estimate the autocorrelation coefficients by conventional estimators. This paper describes the adaptation of methods for estimating the errors of autocorrelation coefficients (proposed by Pfeffermanna et al.), The rotational scheme in LFS. Then, this method was used to estimate the autocorrelation coefficients in error estimation of the unemployment rate in the province. Greater Poland for six domains defined by gender and age.

Abstract:

In the search for plants able to fight against diabetes, we have initiated an ethnopharmacological survey on the markets of the city of Abidjan in Côte d'Ivoire. The markets of three communes in the city were visited for this purpose: Yopougon, Abobo and Adjamé. In Yopougon, we visited Wassakara market. The large Abobo market and the Gouro market were respectively chosen for Abobo and Adjamé. This choice was justified by an impressive number of medicinal plants sellers in these markets. The survey interviewed 120 herbalists on the basis of a questionnaire sheet. These investigations revealed 27 species of plants used in traditional medicine, in the treatment of diabetes. These plant species belong to 20 botanical families with four strongly represented which are Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Euphorbiaceae and Rubiaceae. Three parts of plants are indicated by herbalists in the treatment of diabetes: leaves, twigs and whole plant. The preparation techniques are decoction and kneading. The preparations are used for drinking and purging by diabetic people. In relation to citation frequencies, two plants are regularly used. They are Phyllantus amarus (Fc = 9.86%) and Nauclea latifolia (Fc = 9.49%). These two plants were frequently encountered during our surveys. They are the most important species indicated against diabetes by Abidjan population. Both of these species of plant should be subject of other studies to prove the scientific basis of their empirical use in traditional medicine.

Abstract:

With the development of information technology in Taiwan, night markets have improved their service performance by building information technology technologies, including Wi-Fi, cloud payment and mobile payment services, and QR codes. One of the most commonly used social networking sites among young people in Taiwan is Instagram (IG). In this study, we investigated whether users trust IG to provide sufficient security, and we found that the correctness of the trust information has a significant impact on their software use. This study focused on Taiwan’’s unique night market sightseeing experience and explored the use of Instagram by night market consumers. Questionnaire surveys and systematic sampling methods were used to survey consumers, and the number of valid questionnaires was 340. The results showed that the perceived usefulness and ease of use of IG Stories affected user attitudes, and user attitudes positively impacted behavioral intentions. Moreover, the attitude of night market consumers toward IG Stories was affected by trust, which in turn adjusted user behavior intentions. This research was the first to explore the experience of night market consumers using IG Stories. We concluded that night market vendors should strengthen their trust factor in order to have a positive attitude toward consumers and foster the higher behavioral intentions of consumers, which is essential for the successful promotion and marketing of night markets.

Abstract:

There is increasing awareness of a ‘gender data gap’ in a range of academic, business and policy areas. The problem arises where policy or business decisions are made based on data that has been collected only on men (or by men, as survey designers), or on analyses of data in the aggregate without accounting for gender differences. Competition policy is one such area. Traditionally, consumers have been considered only by their willingness to pay, their (rational) preferences and their ability to substitute between products offered by firms. Meanwhile, firms are treated as entities that are defined by the profit-maximizing objectives of their owners, and only rarely seen as collections of people. Competition policy is gender blind, resulting in a gender data gap in competition. This article considers how surveys carried out for the purpose of market definition, merger analysis and switching behaviour should take account of gender differences.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the distribution channels of vegetable sectors in Indonesia, its economic impact on the performance of vegetable sales and the factors affecting marketing channels selected by producers. Design/methodology/approach The study employed qualitative and quantitative methods. A market survey was qualitatively conducted at producer, intermediary, wholesaler, hotel and food processing company as well as retailer levels. Producer survey was quantitatively conducted at the farm level, by interviewing 556 randomly selected farm households. Structural equation modelling was employed to accomplish the objectives of the study. Findings Marketing channels for vegetables in Indonesia was complex and relatively long. Farmers decided to select particular channels because of business circumstance and their knowledge. Distance and gentleman’s agreement with traders limited farmers to choose the desirable marketing channel. Marketing channels affect business performance in terms of high sales and profit. Research limitations/implications This study only pays attention to the supply side of vegetables. The effect of marketing channels also encumbers the consumers, which are beyond this study. Other studies are expected to highlight the consumer side. Originality/value This study focused on smallholder agribusiness players. This study uses two surveys as data sources: market survey and producer survey. The market survey serves as vital information to design producer surveys.

Abstract:

Lao PDR and Cambodia have been transitioning to a market-oriented policy regime. Both are agrarian economies with agriculture contributing about one-third of the gross domestic product (GDP). This study assessed their prospects of achieving the first Millennium Development Goal (MDG 1, extreme poverty eradication) and the centrality of agricultural growth in achieving this goal. As these are macro relationships, richer insights on determinants of poverty were obtained by detailed analyses of recent household surveys in these countries. Some of these insights relate to access to markets, returns to crops, education, land size, non-farm activities, ethnic affiliation, and rural infrastructure, with unavoidable variation due to differences in the coverage of the household surveys used. Another major theme studied for Cambodia is integration of farmers (especially smallholders) into markets, focusing on barriers between large and smallholders (e.g., transaction costs). An accelerated transition to a more market-oriented policy regime may promote not just a more efficient agriculture but also a more equitable outcome.
