Paying For Agricultural Productivity (international Food Policy Research Institute) Julian M. Alston (editor), Philip G. Pardey (editor), Vincent H. Smith (editor) International Food Policy Research Institute, Baltimore, Maryland, 1999

Agricultural research and development has stimulated enormous increases in agricultural productivity in the twentieth century. Now, in response to common pressures, countries the world over are changing how they manage and pay for agricultural R & D. __Paying for Agricultural Productivity__ reviews agricultural R & D policy in Australia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States and assesses whether the new approaches are raising or lowering the efficiency and effectiveness of R & D. To complement the case studies, the book analyzes trends in R & D investment in twenty-two developed countries. __Paying for Agricultural Productivity__ will be an invaluable resource for economic and development specialists concerned with agricultural research and development, as well as for farmers, food processors, agricultural wholesalers and retailers, environmentalists, and research scientists.

The Future of Food: Biotechnology Markets and Policies in an International Setting (International Food Policy Research Institute) Philip G Pardey; Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society; International Food Policy Research Institute International Food Policy Research; [Baltimore, Md.]; Distributed by the Johns Hopkins University Press; distributed by the Johns Hopkins University Press, Washington, D.C, District of Columbia, 2001

What is the future of food? Everyone agrees that feeding the world in the decades ahead will require substantial increases in crop yields. But how we get there has become a remarkably contentious question because of biotechnology. What should be biotechnology's role in assuring affordable and sustainably grown food for all? How we answer this question now will have profound ramifications for decades to come. The consequences will be global, affecting agriculture, the environment, economic development, and the well-being of the poor. The chapters in this book confront the controversy over biotechnology with new analyses and insights from economists and technologists. The topics covered include the differences in perceptions about biotechnology among rich and poor countries; the effects of rich-country restrictions on international trade in genetically modified crops on the welfare of poorer countries; the promise of alternative technologies; the effects of intellectual property rights on the bioscience done by public agencies the world over; and the economic impacts of biotechnology past, present, and future. The chapters address questions such as, How much should be invested in the new biosciences? Who should perform the research and pay for it? Who are the likely users—as well as the likely winners and losers? Policymakers and partisans on both sides of the debate will find in this book useful economic ways of thinking about the tradeoffs of biotechnology.Contributors: Jock R.

Agricultural Science Policy: Changing Global Agendas (International Food Policy Research Institute) edited by Julian M. Alston, Philip G. Pardey, and Michael J. Taylor International Food Policy Research Institute, Baltimore, Md, Maryland, 2001

Agricultural research and development have profoundly increased the quantity and quality of food production in the twentieth century. As populations increase, however, and land and water resources become more scarce, we must improve productivity and efficiency to provide adequate food supplies. Issues such as the environment, genetic diversity, food safety, poverty, human health, animal rights, public versus private responsibilities, and the question of intellectual property rights further complicate this task. Agricultural Science Policy: Changing Global Agendas consists of twelve chapters that describe important issues in agricultural science policy, the relevant facts, current economic thinking, and new results. Topics Include: Changing Global Contexts and Agendas for Agricultural R&D; Productivity Measures and Measurement; Research, Productivity, and Natural Resources; Research for Genetic Improvement; and a Conclusion, which suggests directions for the future. The chapters in this volume will provide researchers and policy makers with a timely review of progress on the existing agenda as well as laying the foundation for a new agenda and new directions for global agricultural science policy in the 21st century.

Ending Hunger in Our Lifetime: Food Security and Globalization (International Food Policy Research Institute) C. Ford Runge; Benjamin Senauer; Philip G Pardey; Mark W Rosegrant; International Food Policy Research Institute, IFPRI John Hopkins University Press for the International Food Policy Research Institute, Baltimore Md. ; London, 2003

At a time in history when conflict erupts daily in far-flung corners of the world, ending severe deprivation may be critical to global peace and stability. Yet we are far from reaching the goal of reducing hunger by 2025. The authors of this book bring good news: hunger can be banished in our lifetime. They first distill what is already known about fighting hunger and then report on important new research findings and projections that show it can be done, through new and renewed institutions, scientific innovation, global economics and investment, and sustainable environmental practices. Although the book encompasses a wide array of ideas, arguments, facts, and figures, it is not a dry, academic text. Anyone wanting a better understanding of poverty and hunger and how to end it will benefit from reading it. The text is strikingly illustrated with photographs by the renowned Brazilian photographer, Sebastião Salgado.

Saving Seeds: The Economics of Conserving Crop Genetic Resources Ex Situ in the Future Harvest Centres of the CGIAR (Cabi Publishing) Bonwoo Koo, Philip G. Pardey, Brian D. Wright CAB International Mycological Institute, CAB International (trading as 'CABI'), Wallingford, Oxfordshire, UK, 2004

The conservation of genetic resources is vital to the maintenance of biodiversity and to the world's ability to feed its growing population. There are now more than a thousand genebanks worldwide involved in the ex situ (meaning “away from the source”) storage of particular classes of crops. Since the 1970s, the eleven genebanks maintained by the centres of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) have become pivotal to the global conservation effort. However, key policy and management issues – usually with economic dimensions – have largely been overlooked.This provided the impetus for a series of detailed economic studies, led by IFPRI, in collaboration with five CGIAR centres: CIAT (based in Colombia), CIMMYT (Mexico), ICARDA (Syria), ICRISAT (India) and IRRI (Philippines). This book reports these studies and discusses their wider implications.

Coherent Behavior in Neuronal Networks (Springer Series in Computational Neuroscience Book 3) Michael Okun, Alik Mokeichev, Yonatan Katz (auth.), Kre¿imir Josic, Jonathan Rubin, Manuel Matias, Ranulfo Romo (eds.) Springer-Verlag New York, Springer series in computational neuroscience 3, 1, 2009

Recent experimental research advances have led to increasingly detailed descriptions of how networks of interacting neurons process information. With these developments, it has become clear that dynamic network behaviors underlie information processing, and that the observed activity patterns cannot be fully explained by simple concepts such as synchrony and phase locking. These new insights raise significant challenges and offer exciting opportunities for experimental and theoretical neuroscientists. **__Coherent Behavior in Neuronal Networks__** features a review of recent research in this area from some of the world’s foremost experts on systems neuroscience. The book presents novel methodologies and interdisciplinary perspectives, and will serve as an invaluable resource to the research community. Highlights include the results of interdisciplinary collaborations and approaches as well as topics, such as the interplay of intrinsic and synaptic dynamics in producing coherent neuronal network activity and the roles of globally coherent rhythms and oscillations in the coordination of distributed processing, that are of significant research interest but have been underrepresented in the review literature. With its cutting-edge mathematical, statistical, and computational techniques, this volume will be of interest to all researchers and students in the field of systems neuroscience. __About the Editors:__ **Krešimir Josic** works in different areas of mathematical biology and applied dynamics, with a particular interest in understanding how information is represented in neuronal networks.

Persistence Pays: U.s. Agricultural Productivity Growth And The Benefits From Public R&d Spending (natural Resource Management And Policy) Julian M. Alston, Matthew A. Andersen, Jennifer S. James, Philip G. Pardey (auth.) Springer-Verlag New York, Natural Resource Management and Policy 34, 1, 2010

This book documents the evolving path of U.S. agriculture in the 20th Century and the role of public R & D in that evolution. The work begins with a detailed quantitative assessment of the shifting patterns of production among the states and over time and of the public institutions and investments in agricultural R & D. Then, based on newly constructed sets of panel data, some of which span the entire 20th Century and more, the authors present new econometric evidence linking state-specific agricultural productivity measures to federal and state government investments in agricultural research and extension. The results show that the time lags between R & D spending and its effects on productivity are longer than commonly found or assumed in the prior published work. Also, the spillover effects of R & D among states are important, such that the national net benefits from a state's agricultural research investments are much greater than own-state net benefits. The main findings are consistent across a wide range of reasonable model specifications. In sum, the benefits from past public investments in agricultural research have been worth many times more than the costs, a significant share of the benefits accrue as spillovers, and the research lags are very long. An accelerated investment in public agricultural R & D is warranted by the high returns to the nation, and may be necessary to revitalize U.S. agricultural productivity growth even though the benefits may not be visible for many years.

Persistence pays : U.S. agricultural productivity growth and the benefits from public R & D spending Julian M. Alston, Matthew A. Andersen, Jennifer S. James, Philip G. Pardey (auth.) Springer New York : Imprint : Springer, 10.1007/97, 2010

gricultural science policy in the United States has profoundly affected the growth and development of agriculture worldwide, not just in the A United States. Over the past 150 years, and especially over the second th half of the 20 Century, public investments in agricultural R&D in the United States grew faster than the value of agricultural production. Public spending on agricultural science grew similarly in other more-developed countries, and c- lectively these efforts, along with private spending, spurred agricultural prod- tivity growth in rich and poor nations alike. The value of this investment is seldom fully appreciated. The resulting p- ductivity improvements have released labor and other resources for alternative uses—in 1900, 29. 2 million Americans (39 percent of the population) were - rectly engaged in farming compared with just 2. 9 million (1. 1 percent) today— while making food and fiber more abundant and cheaper. The benefits are not confined to Americans. U. S. agricultural science has contributed with others to growth in agricultural productivity in many other countries as well as the Un- ed States. The world's population more than doubled from around 3 billion in 1961 to 6. 54 billion in 2006 (U. S. Census Bureau 2009). Over the same period, production of important grain crops (including maize, wheat and rice) almost trebled, such that global per capita grain production was 18 percent higher in 2006.

Public spending on agricultural science grew similarly in other more-developed countries, and c- lectively these efforts, along with private spending, spurred agricultural prod- tivity growth in rich and poor nations alike. The value of this investment is seldom fully appreciated. The resulting p- ductivity improvements have released labor and other resources for alternative uses—in 1900, 29. 2 million Americans (39 percent of the population) were - rectly engaged in farming compared with just 2. 9 million (1. 1 percent) today— while making food and fiber more abundant and cheaper. The benefits are not confined to Americans. U. S. agricultural science has contributed with others to growth in agricultural productivity in many other countries as well as the Un- ed States. The world's population more than doubled from around 3 billion in 1961 to 6. 54 billion in 2006 (U. S. Census Bureau 2009). Over the same period, production of important grain crops (including maize, wheat and rice) almost trebled, such that global per capita grain production was 18 percent higher in 2006.

Coherent Behavior in Neuronal Networks (Springer Series in Computational Neuroscience Book 3) Michael Okun, Alik Mokeichev, Yonatan Katz (auth.), Kre¿imir Josic, Jonathan Rubin, Manuel Matias, Ranulfo Romo (eds.) Springer-Verlag New York, Springer Series in Computational Neuroscience 3, 1, 2009

Recent experimental research advances have led to increasingly detailed descriptions of how networks of interacting neurons process information. With these developments, it has become clear that dynamic network behaviors underlie information processing, and that the observed activity patterns cannot be fully explained by simple concepts such as synchrony and phase locking. These new insights raise significant challenges and offer exciting opportunities for experimental and theoretical neuroscientists. **__Coherent Behavior in Neuronal Networks__** features a review of recent research in this area from some of the world’s foremost experts on systems neuroscience. The book presents novel methodologies and interdisciplinary perspectives, and will serve as an invaluable resource to the research community. Highlights include the results of interdisciplinary collaborations and approaches as well as topics, such as the interplay of intrinsic and synaptic dynamics in producing coherent neuronal network activity and the roles of globally coherent rhythms and oscillations in the coordination of distributed processing, that are of significant research interest but have been underrepresented in the review literature. With its cutting-edge mathematical, statistical, and computational techniques, this volume will be of interest to all researchers and students in the field of systems neuroscience. __About the Editors:__ **Krešimir Josic** works in different areas of mathematical biology and applied dynamics, with a particular interest in understanding how information is represented in neuronal networks.

Science under scarcity : principles and practice for agricultural research evaluation and priority setting / Julian M. Alston, George W. Norton, Philip G. Pardey. Alston, Julian M. CAB International in association with the International Service for National Agricultural Research, c1998., Wallingford, Oxon, UK, New York, NY, USA, England, 1998

Resources for agricultural science are scarce across the world. Yet even as resources are shrinking, agricultural science has expanded its inquiry into many new areas - such as environmental preservation, food quality, and rural development - without forsaking its more traditional concerns. In a time of tight government budgets, research administrators are faced with the need to provide strong evidence that costs are justified by benefits. Science under Scarcity is an invaluable guide to the theory and methods necessary for evaluating research in agriculture and for setting priorities for resource allocation. Although economists have made significant progress in developing more sophisticated methods for research evaluation and priority setting, many research analysts and administrators do not have a working knowledge of those practices. Without the assistance of formal economic analysis it is particularly difficult to assess the social value of new technologies or to make informed judgements about the trade-offs that are involved in allocation decisions. Addressing that knowledge gap, this book reviews, synthesizes, and extends such methods as economic surplus analysis, econometric techniques, mathematical programming procedures, and scoring models. It discusses these practices in the context of scientific policy, describes their conceptual foundations, and explains how to do them. Originally published in 1995 in hardcover by Cornell University Press, it is now reissued in paperback by CAB INTERNATIONAL.

The future of food : biotechnology markets and policies in an international setting (澳)菲力普·G.帕迪(Phillip G. Pardey)编著 ; 温思美, 孙良媛等译; 帕迪; Philip G Pardey; 温思美; 孙良媛 China Agricultural Pub. House : Distributed by the Johns Hopkins University Press, Di 1 ban, Beijing, 2002

What is the future of food? Everyone agrees that feeding the world in the decades ahead will require substantial increases in crop yields. But how we get there has become a remarkably contentious question because of biotechnology. What should be biotechnology's role in assuring affordable and sustainably grown food for all? How we answer this question now will have profound ramifications for decades to come. The chapters in this book confront the controversy over biotechnology with new analyses and insights from economists and technologists. The topics covered include the differences in perceptions about biotechnology among rich and poor countries; the effects of rich-country restrictions on international trade in genetically modified crops on the welfare of poorer countries; the effects of intellectual property rights on the bioscience done by public agencies the world over; and the economic impacts of biotechnology
