Measurement And Determinants Of Efficiency In Crop Production In Nepal, Satis Devkota, Mukti Upadhyay Oct 2010

Measurement And Determinants Of Efficiency In Crop Production In Nepal, Satis Devkota, Mukti Upadhyay

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

Our study is an attempt to quantify efficiency of farmers and estimate the gap from its potential given the technology currently prevailing in Nepal. To estimate inefficiency in agriculture, we use a stochastic frontier production function. We also use OLS to compare the results for the Cobb-Douglas and translogarithmic functions to determine which of the two provides a better representation of the data. It is also interesting to examine what these functions yield for the levels of technical inefficiencies, returns to scale, and the elasticities of output with respect to different inputs.

Swine Flu: A Preliminary Study Of The Planning And Policies Of Nepal To Deal With H1n1., Rojee Rajbanshi, William S. Carter

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

To predict the proper measures to be taken in harmonizing the global health with the emergence of the new influenza virus subtype capable of uncertain pandemic threat, WHO has developed guidelines regarding the preparedness and preventive measures and requires every country to follow the guidelines in formulating national pandemic and response plans plus implementing the measures effectively with regular monitoring. With the emergence of H1N1 infection worldwide, the Government of Nepal has considered the “National Avian Influenza and Influenza Pandemic Preparedness and Response Plan” (NAIIPPRP), the plan developed in 2005 to deal with the Avian Influenza. The main objective of …


Conflict Resolution And Institutional Arrangements For Flood Disaster Management On Indo Nepal Fringe: Focus On Kosi Basin, N.M.P. Verma Oct 2010

Conflict Resolution And Institutional Arrangements For Flood Disaster Management On Indo Nepal Fringe: Focus On Kosi Basin, N.M.P. Verma

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

The purpose of this paper is to highlight riparian conflicts in Kosi basin of Indo-Nepal region. The paper focuses on characteristics of the basin, intensity of conflict, conflict minimization process, and areas of joint venture. It finds that institutional reform for minimum common governance (MCG) may yet lead to a sustainable solution. The paper proposes the modalities of MCG and its modus operandi and discusses plan appraisal, ex post evaluation, monitoring, and resource sharing. Planning by a single country may not solve this chronic problem.

Conflict Resolution And Institutional Arrangements For Flood Disaster Management On Indo Nepal Fringe: Focus On Kosi Basin, Nmp Verma

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

Trans boundary conflict is one of the chronic riparian problems not only in India but also in South Asia. This has constrained agricultural development in the basin. It has also enhanced economic insecurity in the region of upstream and down stream. The vulnerability of the people has also gone up. The purpose of the present paper is to highlight riparian conflicts in Kosi basin of Indo-Nepal region. Since many conflicts become chronic and reduces the growth and diversification of agriculture of the economy, therefore, the paper focuses on characteristics of the basin, intensity of conflict, conflict minimization process, areas of …

Deregulation Pas De Deux: Dual Regulatory Classes Of Financial Institutions And The Path To Financial Crisis In Sweden And The United States, Erik F. Gerding Sep 2010

Deregulation Pas De Deux: Dual Regulatory Classes Of Financial Institutions And The Path To Financial Crisis In Sweden And The United States, Erik F. Gerding

Faculty Scholarship

This article presents the following model of two regulatory classes of financial institutions interacting in financial and political markets to spur deregulation and riskier lending and investment, which in turn contributes to the severity of a financial crisis: 1) Regulation creates two categories of financial institutions. The first class faces greater restrictions in lending or investment activities but enjoys regulatory subsidies, such as an explicit or implicit government guarantee, while the second class is more loosely regulated and can make riskier loans or investments and earn additional profits. 2) These additional profits leads to calls for deregulation to enable the …

Evaluating Stormwater Best Management Practices In A Small Urban Watershed, Kerry Gregg Bassore Sep 2010

Evaluating Stormwater Best Management Practices In A Small Urban Watershed, Kerry Gregg Bassore

Water Resources Professional Project Reports

Urban growth adversely affects water quality by increasing the amount of nonpoint source pollutants that are transported to receiving waters. Phase IT of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) is a regulatory program designed to confront the non-point source pollution problem. Bernalillo County, New Mexico, is one of many counties that are required to identify Best Management Practices (BMPs) to control non-point source pollution under Phase IT of the NPDES. The Adobe Acres stormwater lift station drains storm flows that originate from an urban residential area in Bernalillo County and discharge to the Rio Grande. This project begins to …


Appropriate Erosion Control Techniques For The Rural Hillsides Of Honduras, Meaghan O'Rourke Sep 2010

Appropriate Erosion Control Techniques For The Rural Hillsides Of Honduras, Meaghan O'Rourke

Water Resources Professional Project Reports

The rural hillside farmers of Honduras live extremely rudimentary lifestyles with little to no outside income. They choose available parcels of land for their cultivation needs and clear the land using slash and burn techniques. The combination of the steep slopes and the lack of erosion control equates to significant soil loss. The agricultural production determines to the quality of life for the hillside families. Typical erosion control measures, such as terraces, are exceedingly labor intensive for the rural hillside farmers. The average family lives on a section of land until the soil is no longer productive (between two and …

An Assessment Of Domestic Water Consumption Discrepancies Between Commercial Farms And Majengos Along South Moi Lake Road, Lake Naivasha, Kenya, Barbara Heemink

Water Resources Professional Project Reports

The overall intent of this professional project was to provide a preliminary assessment of domestic water consumption discrepancies between commercial farms and majengos at Lake Naivasha, Kenya. As this issue of concern had not been previously studied, pre-determined factors known to incur domestic water consumption discrepancies were utilized, in relation to a regulatory setting, with the purpose of llustrating the viability of this problem. Lake Naivasha is a freshwater lake in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya, Africa. Over the last fifteen years, the horticulture and floriculture industry at Lake Naivasha has steadily grown, with the most intense development occurring …


Volunteer River Monitoring Plan For The Urban Reach Of The Santa Fe River Watershed, Joy K. O'Neil Sep 2010

Volunteer River Monitoring Plan For The Urban Reach Of The Santa Fe River Watershed, Joy K. O'Neil

Water Resources Professional Project Reports

In designing a monitoring plan, it is important to first look at the overview of the watershed, issues and uses. In our case, we are looking at the Santa Fe River Watershed. It is 241 square miles and approximately 37 miles in river length. The headwaters are in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains at Santa Fe Lake east of the City of Santa Fe. The watershed is split into three reaches: forested, urban and rural. In the forested reach, the river is perennial and flow is captured by a sequence of dams. The water is used for drinking supply. The …

Population Ecology Of Banner-Tailed Kangaroo Rats (Dipodomys Spectabilis) In A Chihuahuan Desert Grassland At The Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico (2005-2009), Andrew Edelman

Sevilleta LTER Program Data

From March 2005-Februaury 2009, a population of banner-tailed kangaroo rats was monitored using mark-recapture methods. All active kangaroo rat mounds on the 18-ha Nunn Flats site were trapped monthly. All captured individuals were marked and reproductive status and mass were recorded. From February to July 2008 a subset of adult females received supplemental food. This dataset was collected to observe the survivorship, reproduction, and dispersal of banner-tailed kangaroo rats in response to changes in resources and density. Both observational and experimental methods were used to observe how ecological constraints affected juvenile dispersal.
