On Dec 1, 2009, the Chicago Fed held a conference that examined issues shaping the future of Midwest agriculture, with a focus on public policy implications. This conference gathered experts from academia, industry, and policy institutions to discuss trends and possibilities for agriculture in the region and across the US. The goals of this conference were to explore factors that will impact the future direction of Midwest agriculture, particularly its composition and structure; examine the implications of the changing agricultural landscape for rural communities, as well as industry; and discuss the role that policies will play in guiding agriculture. A common theme was the opportunities for growth in Midwest agriculture while facing traditional and new challenges requiring innovative ...

On Oct 2, 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago held a conference that focused on the economic impacts of volatile agricultural prices and food policy, especially their intersection with the macroeconomy through food price inflation. In the opening session, two presentations examined recent increases in agricultural costs and the impacts on farm operations. In the second session, two presenters characterized current and future world food demand and supply. In the third session, Leslie McGranahan, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, covered the distributional effects of food price inflation in the US. The final session explored the relationship between food price inflation and the macroeconomy. Daniel G. Sullivan, director of research, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, stated that food p...

Microcredit programs have a positive socioeconomic impact on the rural female borrowers of Bangladesh. This study suggests that the microcredit programs do not help the borrowers to develop any entrepreneurial capabilities other than survival. Thus, this paper aims at identifying the factors related to the development of entrepreneurship among rural women through the microcredit programs of providers. A multivariate analysis technique (Factor Analysis) was conducted to identify the factors related to entrepreneurship development. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to identify the relationship between microcredit programs and the development of rural female entrepreneurship in Bangladesh. Results show that financial management skills are the most important factor and have a sign...

Does the experience vary across countries and, if so, why? A vast literature deals with these issues, including a number of comprehensive surveys from which this paper draws, and where the interested reader is advised to go for more details.1 For the purposes of this article, I will review the evidence so far on the four main ways in which trade is linked with inequality and poverty (economic growth, family income, the labor market, and fiscal effects) and attempt to draw some lessons for policy. A study for India found that trade liberalization has indeed increased labor demand elasticity and has done so more in states with more labor market flexibility. 12 A study in Mexico found that tariff declines were associated with increased income uncertainty.13 A more uncertain product demand...

Recent decades have seen momentous changes in the economic geography of the world. Political transitions and economic liberalization have brought formerly closed countries into the world economy. This sketch describes some of the forces driving change in the world economy and some of the ensuing changes in economic geography. It also challenges the understanding of the location of economic activity and of the determinants of changes in the pattern of location. There are many reasons for variation in the prosperity of countries and regions. Some factors are truly exogenous and others are a function of political and institutional history. Even as globalization causes dispersion of activity, so economic development will be in sequence, not in parallel; some countries will experience rapid ...

Due to both deepening economic crises and pressure from external lenders, Costa Rica and El Salvador implemented trade and market liberalization reforms in the 1980s. This study explores whether these policy changes shifted production toward each country's presumed comparative advantage in agriculture. For Costa Rica, trade and market liberalization strengthened the country's ability to generate agricultural trade surpluses while liberalization caused a decline in El Salvador's agricultural sector. Liberalization also affected how prices and exchange rates influence agriculture in both countries. The findings demonstrate that agriculture's response to liberalization can vary widely among countries. Overall market conditions in the rural sector, including El Salvador's post-conflict chal...
