Jamaica. Review of Agricultural Support and Taxation
Rome :
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2014.
This report serves as a guide to the agricultural policy shifts made by the Government of Jamaica that would be desirable in the context of the changing role of agriculture. It focuses on the central question of how to create
within the context of fiscal austerity an enabling framework for agriculture that results in a more competitive sector, with prospects for growth and poverty alleviation in the future. The three major studies underpinning this report are an Agricultural Sector Support Analysis, a Climat Change Report and an Agricultural Taxation Report. This report synthesizes and expands on the elements in these studies that are most relevant to the policy choices facing the government in the context of its tax reform initiative.

Soil respiration (SR) is a main component of the carbon cycle in terrestrial ecosystems,
and being strongly affected by changes in the environment, it is a good indicator of the ecosystem’s
ability to cope with climate change. This research aims to find better empirical SR models using
25-year-long SR monitoring in two forest ecosystems formed on sandy Entic ...

This is a case note of two WTO panel reports in recent Palm Oil disputes. After providing an overview of the panel findings under Article 2.1 of the TBT Agreement, the note discusses what appears to be a modified legal standard for non-discrimination applied by the panel under this provision and the continued use of ...

This paper proposes Covariate-Balanced Weighted Stacked Difference-in-Differences (CBWSDID), a design-based extension of weighted stacked DID for settings in which untreated trends may be conditionally rather than unconditionally parallel. The estimator separates within-subexperiment design adjustment from across-subexperiment aggregation: matching or weighting improves treated-control comparability within each stacked subexperiment, while the corrective stacked weights of Wing et ...

A set of hydrometeorological models, has been used to assess the likely changes in Terek River runoff in the 21st century, taking into account climate and glaciation changes in the basin. It has been shown that runoff changes will range from –2 to +5% under the RCP 2.6 scenario and from –8 to +14% under ...

This article is devoted to the phenomenon of intrinsic motivation, to understand which two models are proposed. We study how positive/negative intrinsic motivation to work (experienced utility) affects worker's individual labour supply (model I) and the amount of effort they exert (model II). In model I, we use intrinsic motivation to explain the positive/negative slope ...

For the first time, a variability analysis of phenological dates of woody plant development in connection with climate change was conducted for the conditions of Primorsky Krai. The study is based on a continuous (from 1987 to 2022) series of phenological observations for five tree species from the Nature Chronicle of the Sikhote-Alin Reserve. According ...

Since the end of the Little Ice Age, glacier retreat has been recorded globally, with its rates steadily increasing. Glacier forelands serve as convenient areas for studying the patterns of biotic community formation during primary succession. Collembola (hereinafter – springtails) typically play key roles in primary successions, being among the first colonists of territories newly ...

In this paper, we develop a formal mathematical model aimed to explain the Dunning-Kruger effect that beginners systematically overestimate their own competence in various fields of knowledge and activity. We argue that the Dunning-Kruger effect arises from the emotional nature of confidence combined with unknown unknowns that it simply can not take into account due ...

Many competitive environments allow for a third party to be indirectly involved by supporting one or both sides in the conflict. Such support can come from trade partners, colleagues, or allies, who can in turn benefit from a supported party's success. We use theory and an experiment to investigate how support relationships develop endogenously in ...

This study analyzes agency and news values across verbal and visual modalities
in Croatian online news on the climate crisis, examining how climate change is
portrayed. We explore newsworthiness, visual framing, and metaphor, linking
agency to broader concerns about responsibility. In addition, the analysis traces
how different types of agency shape news values in both metaphorical and nonmetaphorical
micro-contexts. To ...

The study explores a psychological phenomenon of inaction inertia-avoiding action after missing a more favourable opportunity. Unlike action inertia (e.g.,sunk costs effect), inaction inertia has been less studied, particularly in economic contexts. Considering the reference dependent nature of the phenomenon, I build on the work of Kőszegi and Rabin (2006) to examine how past experiences ...

Simplified tax regimes with explicit eligibility thresholds are a common tool which reduces tax burden but distorts firms’ behavior, creating local bunching just below the threshold. However, we show that when firms have access to business splitting their responses extend far beyond the local margin. Our model demonstrates that splitting reduces local bunching but amplifies ...

In recent years, an emerging body of empirical research has shown that tax audits, in addition to recovering unpaid taxes (direct effect), increase future tax compliance (indirect or dynamic effect). This literature also suggests that updating expectations induced by audit experience plays an important role in explaining this indirect effect. However, exactly how taxpayers form ...

While the emerging empirical literature shows that collateral tax sanctions (CTSs) - such as driver’s license suspensions or passport denials - appear to be effective instruments to enforce tax debt collection, there are still few theoretical arguments to explain why. In this paper, I model enforcement of tax debt collection and provide a new rationale for why it could ...

We study the application of factor investing in the market for real estate (REITs). The analysis of traditional factor strategies, such as momentum, value, size and profitability, reveals their unstable and atypical behavior in comparison to the equity market, however, there is a strong momentum effect in the factor strategies. We propose a new dynamic ...

В данной статье рассматривается реакция российских предприятий обрабатывающей промышленности на ужесточение экономических санкций с акцентом на период после 2022 года. Хотя санкции в целом негативно сказываются на экономическом росте и эффективности деятельности компаний, есть некоторые свидетельства того, что они также могут подталкивать компании к инновациям, а негативный эффект преодолевается при помощи адаптации компании. Исследование заполняет ...

Innovation has long been at the center of debates in economics, management, and organizational studies. However, innovation is never free of uncertainty and risk. Every act of innovation implies a departure from established paths and a willingness to embrace the unknown. From the beginning it's never clear if there is an audience which appreciates the ...
