Introduction. The characteristic features of agriculture in relation to the formation transaction costs agricultural sector compared other branches national economy are its high dependence on natural environment and biological processes, which causes manifestation low stability predictability development. situation that has developed is caused by fact system new economic agrarian-land relations...

Understanding the dynamics of productivity shocks is instrumental if we are to identify the sources of economic growth. This paper, investigates dynamic effects of positives productivity shocks to agricultural subsectors during the period from 1991-2015, by disaggregating agricultural sector in Iran into four key subsectors (crops, livestock, fishing and forestry) through an estimated DSGE mode...

In India, expenditure on electricity subsidies for agriculture, an input subsidy aimed at improving agricultural productivity and the incomes of the agricultural work force, exceeds that spent on health or education. Yet the benefits and beneficiaries of these policies have been unexplored. This paper develops and empirically tests a model that describes the channels through which these subsidi...

Mobile robots operating in agricultural environments have been a significant subject for researchers. The rapid advancement in communication, sensors and computing technologies has provided important progress in the field of agricultural autonomous robot guidance systems. Automated agricultural robots save labour costs, prevent people from performing risky operations, and provide the farmer wit...

Application of mathematical methods cost optimization for repair and maintenance electrical equipment agro-industrial enterprises is one the important promising directions increasing efficiency operation management in agriculture. Mathematical programming systems use graphical related attributive information solving problems. As these we used maps, plans, diagrams, schedules preventive measures...

This article examines a tradeoff between ex ante preparedness costs and ex post costs of response to a potential introduction of an infectious animal disease. In a simplified case study setting we examine the conditions for optimality of enhanced detection system considering various characteristics of a potential infectious cattle disease outbreak, costs of program implementation, severity of t...

Fifty years ago, Punjab embarked on its famous Green Revolution, leading the rest of India in that innovation, and becoming the country's breadbasket. Now its economy and society are struggling by relative, and sometimes even absolute, measures. Using the original Green Revolution as a benchmark, this paper discusses five areas of challenge and promise for a new round of agricultural innovation...

Indian agriculture, even after the Green Revolution, is not as productive as it could potentially be. It calls for a second Green Revolution – one of „precision agriculture‟, where cutting-edge technology is used to maximize production with minimum input costs and resources. In this paper we present a multi-purpose agricultural robot to implement precision irrigation, fertilizer addition and de...
