White Mucus A Day Before Period
Alarming rise in agricultural prices
Agricultural prices again reach record highs.
In 2007-2008 the situation had been extreme, with increases ranging up to 130% on wheat and smaller increases on other agricultural products, but still great for those who live with a few dollars a day.
Because obviously it is the poorest who are hardest hit, especially since they spend a major portion of their budgets to agricultural products.
This situation had led to riots around the world, and this scenario may repeat itself ...
In the past, countries have erected trade barrirères (taxes) so that exports are redirected to the local market, where more than supply and therefore lower prices. The urban consumer is clearly the winner of this policy but the rural producer loses (it could higher prices for export). The following year, the probability that the producer improve its technical and investment is lower, so in the medium term the problem of a lack of production is not resolved because the "price signal" has been broken .
Obviously we need to find a solution, protectionism is not one.
especially since these policies have greatly asymmetric effects ... When India decided to limit its exports of rice by controlling the price on its local market because it produces a lot but this also means that a massive part of the supply market disappears Comprehensive, where an explosion in world which severely affects small importers. Today
these non-cooperative policies are still fashionable and it is feared they will remain for internal political reasons, it is urgent to find another solution for that agricultural prices is lower and less volatile.

Tex Capacity Input Stack Size
iceberg costs, but affected (yet) sunk!
in international economics and space there is an assumption that good practice is that only a fraction of the exported good to happen destination because of trade costs.
The original idea back to von Thunen. He gave the example of a plow pulled by a horse oats on a long journey during which the exporter and then in the commodity exported to feed his nag.
Samuelson looter in engineering, took up the idea and changed the picture, part of the iceberg melts during his trip, this part is the cost iceberg.
Schematically, the price of a property that crosses a border like a stair step, more or less depending on the cost iceberg.
If the price of local production costs i pi, then the price of delivery j will be t * Ft.
If this hypothesis has little suffering the assaults of researchers is probably for practical reasons, as evidenced by Paul Krugman:
"The major justification for the Iceberg Observational Assumption Is Not Gold Analytical empirical goal, I'm his It Is to trick Technical 'Reasons employed for modeling of `convenience', thereby [...] Avoiding The Need to model year Additional industrie '(Krugman 1998, 165)."
iceberg costs have been introduced in 80 years not to confuse the issue at the time it was necessary to understand international trade imperfect competition, distiinguer effects models with increasing returns and monopolistic competition from those obtained in this modeling competition ... brief was a research strategy which allowed to look elsewhere (there was still modeling incorporating an industry Transportation eco inter, see especially Falvey (1976)).
But lately this assumption is lifted and she has good reason to be because if it is acceptable as an ad-valorem equivalent for firms operating in a competitive market, the equivalence disappears in models with monopolistic competition * and becomes untenable if one considers the transportation costs.
It should be noted that many authors speak of the iceberg as costs including transport costs. Or to include transportation, we must at least incorporate the distance. Let us turn to Fujita et al. (1999) to understand how to relate (or not) costs iceberg in the distance. According to these authors, if the value of goods produced locally is Vi then delivered value, denoted Vd is :
where tij represents the part lost en route and dij distance, this implies that the distance elasticity the delivered value decreases steadily, kilometers after kilometers:
Because of this constancy that Grossman called the iceberg cost technology for "transportation of tomatoes ... and even these perishable goods it is doubtful that the decline in value is constant. We know that such firms do not have the same behavior when space is introduced: some export to distant markets for higher quality products than they sell locally (Alchian and Allen (1964)). Implicitly
(especially in theoretical papers) it is sometimes regarded as iceberg trade costs are a monotonic function of transport costs. But the relationship may be nonmonotonic. A drop in transportation can certainly cause an increase in the value of exported but in the second time this fall may allow exporters to invest in higher quality goods for which trade costs may be higher, resulting in bell curve linking trade and transportation costs (Duranton and Storper (2008)). I will not discuss the research that attempt to explain the surprising result that the distance has an ever more important in our society and I refer to Belgodère and Noblet (2010) for a summary explanation of the puzzle before their connecting coordination costs and Specialization.
But that's not all, McCann (2005) and McCann and Fingleton (2007) invite us to look more closely at these costs by studying the iceberg original price and arrival. Let
whose first and second derivatives we easily show that the price delivered is a convex function of the distance. This is a strong assumption for transport economists that show that there are economies of scale and distance in transport, at least in some industries, the relationship may be concave. To avoid the fact that the lost portion of the property is constant with distance and introduce economies of scale, Fingleton (2005) proposes using a power function of transport costs Tij:
With this type function of density, agglomeration forces are exacerbated and as regards trade, gravity equation used to estimate is biased (Rudolph (2010)). But this type of function lacks microfoundations. Many efforts are still needed but the cost analysis with endogenous trade are already showing results in terms of interressants location choices and well being (see Matsuyama (2007) Gaigné Behrens and Thisse (2009)). To conclude, I can not resist the pleasure of quoting Article Behrens and Robert-Nicoud (2010):
We Believe It Is Time to start to think about transportation in gravement NEG. Transportation Costs Prices are Largely Which are set in competitive markets and Imperfectly Which corresponds to demand and supply shocks. The recent trade collapse Provides a neat illustration: the Baltic Dry Index (BDI) Fell Between May 20, 2008 and December 5, 2008 by a whopping 94%, and this May Have Been The burst of The Biggest of all bubbles. Technology That Dramatically Did Not change over Such A Short Period, supply and demand did ". [...] Maybe the iceberg Will not Turn Out to Be That Bad After All Assumption year, But It Would Be reassuring to know why and how this short-cut Can Be used.
Briefly iceberg raise the hypothesis should provide a better understanding of the geography of trade that has an effect on our purchasing power.

* See Cole (2009). Moreover, the author presents a model for the Melitz (2003) but with a utility function quasi-linear (to evacuate the income effects) and with hétérognéneité firms that is due to fixed costs and not marginal costs (for more stick to reality). This model with trade costs non-reciprocal (unlike Melitz (2003)) opens with an analysis of strategic trade policies. See on this excellent paper and Südekum Pflüger (2009) who study strategic interactions on subsidies to entry.

Congratulating Someone On Their Mothers Birthday
The display driver no longer met ...
It started slowly in the late evening ... I had to train my 3 accounts are still active and pending since I still acorns in Orgrimmar.
Suddenly, a freeze, then the screen becomes monochromatic, and it's back to normal with this message oracular bottom of the screen: "The display driver no longer met and was recovered. "
Fifteen minutes later, here we go again.
There I say that the system saturates and it is quite late, I can go sleep in peace.
The next day I start my activities wowesques by a small tower at the auction house. I connect a single account, and I barely have time to click on the goblin we go again. Devil!
Better ... Whatever the application doing some 3D I use, it crashes sooner or later. And it can lead to a super blue screen if I insist.
I check. No windows update since early December. Other than that no changes have been made on my PC. So why now? Pourqueha?
I dig through all the system logs, I uninstall the driver, reinstalled, lit a candle to Bill Gates and another to ATI, I use the default driver offered by Windows, the brand new download from the manufacturer's website. Nothing helps.
Only thing: playing WoW on one account and 800 * 600 minimum details, I can play. Obviously I have a window size of a postage stamp, because if I enlarge the window crash is assured. In short, it does not want to read the texts of quests, but it works pretty good enough for me to finish the leveling of shus before their account expires. That way it will be a standard for his team when I resume the multi.
After that I'll be able to deal a bit harder to make me a budget to buy a new PC. Yes, because after all tests and checks that I made I've been thinking about a hardware problem, probably the video card. And they're not evil, it is the newest component of ancestral my PC. So as to do so, we will change everything.
