We compare samples of textiles and garments producers across groups of countries to find that, in general, productivity is far lower in Sub-Saharan Africa than it is in India. Indian manufacturers in turn are significantly less productive than their counterparts in Morocco, while producers in some SSA countries do match or exceed the Indian standard. The paper assesses the importance of geography as a possible factor in these gaps compared to such possible causes as trade policy and the quality of public institutions. It turns out that both institutions and trade policy are strong influences on country productivity averages. However, geography is also as powerful an influence in as far as it affects access to export markets and to input supplies.

MOSCOW, Aug. 24 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is scheduled to join International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) scientists this week on a regular excursion to research the nearly extinct western gray whale off Russia's Pacific coast. Last week, in the same shallow waters off Sakhalin Island's northeastern coast, Russian-owned oil and gas giant, Rosneft, launched its two-month seismic survey to determine optimum locations for oil rigs, despite protests from scientists and conservation organizations, including IFAW. Testing began at night, a violation of the company's survey permit regulations which require a 1.5-mile (2.5-kilometer) distance between whales and equipment. Spotting whales at night is difficult if not impossible.
