Central Bank Of Nigeria Annual Report And Statement Of Account For The Year Ended 31st December, 1982, Central Bank Of Nigeria
Central Bank Of Nigeria Annual Report And Statement Of Account For The Year Ended 31st December, 1982, Central Bank Of Nigeria
CBN Annual Report
The economic slowdown in 1981-1982 led to a decline in mineral and export crop production, with crude oil production falling from 1.440 million barrels in 1981 to 1.29 million barrels in 1982. The Central Bank of Nigeria business survey showed increased manufacturing sales and inventories of finished goods. Inflation decelerated to its lowest level since 1973, mainly due to reduced monetary expansion and increased production of staple food, livestock products, and fish. The money supply rose by 5.6% in 1980 and 3.1% in 1982, but the government sector's share in bank credit increased. The Gross National Product of all industrialized …

Evidence On The Economic Feasibility Of Small Scale Fuel Alcohol Production, Thomas Dobbs, Randy Hoffman, Ardelle Lundeen
Evidence On The Economic Feasibility Of Small Scale Fuel Alcohol Production, Thomas Dobbs, Randy Hoffman, Ardelle Lundeen
Economics Staff Paper Series
Findings from interdisciplinary research at South Dakota State University with a pilot fuel alcohol plant are presented. That research and other studies indicate that small plants will have difficulty in competing with larger plants and in supplying fuel that is competitive in cost with petroleum-based fuels.

Food Consumption An Distribution: An Overview, Dyaa Abdou, B. Gardner Delworth
Food Consumption An Distribution: An Overview, Dyaa Abdou, B. Gardner Delworth
Faculty Publications
Nearly everyone concedes that Egypt is faced with a serious food problem. The Egyptian agricultural sector is unable to feed the increasing and more affluent population. In 1980, agricultural output was estimated to be increasing by about 2.0 percent annually, whereas the country's annual population growth rate was estimated at about 2.3 percent. If the difference in these growth rates continues, Egypt must increase imports each year just to maintain per capita consumption at the present level [3].

Nebraska Farm Real Estate Market Developments In 1981-82, Bruce B. Johnson, Ronald J. Hanson
Nebraska Farm Real Estate Market Developments In 1981-82, Bruce B. Johnson, Ronald J. Hanson
Nebraska Farm Real Estate Reports
Nebraska farm real estate values declined nearly 4 percent during the past year. The reasons are quite obvious -- low farm income, changing inflation expectations, and continued high interest rates. The combination of these fac tors has drastically altered what was a "bullish" land market up until 1980.
During the 1970's, farmland values were appreciating rapidly. The average increase was approximately twice the rate of inflation. The real value (purchasing power)of farmland doubled during this decade. Financial leveraging was extremely profitable for farmland investors and land prices were quickly bid up.
The past year represents quite a contrast. Adding an …
Economic Implications Of The Policy For Pricing And Allocating Rice In Egypt, Sonia Mohamed Ali, B. Gardner Delworth
Economic Implications Of The Policy For Pricing And Allocating Rice In Egypt, Sonia Mohamed Ali, B. Gardner Delworth
Faculty Publications
Rice is both heavily subsidized and rationed in Egypt. This policy has significant distributive effects and especially benefits low income consumers in both urban and rural areas of the country. In addition, the policy has important allocative effects in shifting scarce resources to inefficient uses. This paper attempts to measure the economic inefficiency associated with this policy in order that the policy makers may judge better whether or not the distributive benefits are worth the efficiency costs.

A Study Of Drought Effects On Livestock Feeds And Products In The Western United States, Robert E. Blakeslee
A Study Of Drought Effects On Livestock Feeds And Products In The Western United States, Robert E. Blakeslee
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Through the use of a regionalized Linear Programming model, a profit maximized optimal solution was obtained for livestock feed and product production for a selected base year (1979). Production data, seasonality, transfer activities, and herd liquidation are developed for ten feeds and seven livestock products and incorporated within the model. Two drought induced simulations were imposed affecting feed production and feed prices, procuring new optimal results. Drought is simulated by the use of crop-weather indexes and range response equations.
Results are discussed and presented in tables for the base year and drought simulations. Results include profits, costs, feed and livestock …

Biological And Economic Effects Of Increasing The Minimum Legal Size Of American Lobster In Maine, James Acheson, R. Reidman
Biological And Economic Effects Of Increasing The Minimum Legal Size Of American Lobster In Maine, James Acheson, R. Reidman
Marine Sciences Faculty Scholarship
The Northeast Marine Fisheries Board recently completed a comprehensive management plan for American lobster Homarus americanus, the most important provision of which is to raise the legal minimum size of lobsters from 81 to 88.9 mm carapace length incrementally over 5 years. Its objective is to increase egg production and recruitment, and thus reduce the likelihood of stock failure; economic benefits are anticipated for fishermen. However, a model used to analyze the frequency distributions of some 9,000 Maine lobsters demonstrates that in every year the legal minimum size is increased, smaller numbers and less weight of lobsters would be landed …

Morbidity And Pollution, Ronald J. Krumm, Philip E. Graves
PHILIP E GRAVES
Time-series analysis of effects of pollutants on emergency hospital admissions indicates important synergistic interactions among pollutants and to a lesser degree nonlinearities in effects of single pollutants. Comparisons of alternative econometric specifications are made to determine the appropriateness of incorporating nonuniform pollution impacts. The data substantially support the existence of synergisms among pollutants with high levels of sulfur dioxide, SO, (particulates), increasing the impact of particulates (SO,) on emergency hospital admissions. Marginal effects of either pollutant are, however, small at current ambient air quality levels. These results indicate that damage estimates were likely to be understated during the 1960’s when …
B780: A Cost Analysis Of Pruning Procedures In Lowbush Blueberry Production, Eric J. Hanson, Amr A. Ismail, Homer Metzger
B780: A Cost Analysis Of Pruning Procedures In Lowbush Blueberry Production, Eric J. Hanson, Amr A. Ismail, Homer Metzger
Bulletins
Burning fields with fuel oil is currently the most practical method of pruning blueberries but is costly and destructive to the organic material on the surface of the soil. Fuel oil is a nonrenewable resource that is rapidly increasing in cost and, in the future, may become less readily available for this use. The need to develop alternative means of pruning lowbush bleuberries is evident. This bulletin compares the economics of six pruning procedures on operations of three sizes. The budgets are based on certain assumptions and costs which will change over time. The results will allow blueberry growers to …
The Role Of Economic Analysis In Public Range Management, B. Delworth Gardner
The Role Of Economic Analysis In Public Range Management, B. Delworth Gardner
Faculty Publications
Economic analysis has a vital, if not indispensable, role to play in the management decisions of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM} if the national welfare is to be served effectively. This rather sweeping conclusion is justified by the nature of the management problems faced by the BLM and by the unique view of the world provided by the field of economics.
