Market-based, supply-side interventions such as domestication, cultivation, and wildlife farming have been proposed as legal substitutes for wild-collected plants and animals in the marketplace. Based on the literature, we devised a list of the conditions under which supply-side interventions may yield positive conservation outcomes. We applied it to the trade of the orchid Rhynchostylis gigant...

The focus of this conference on the supply side of the economy is fine, but we can get more mileage out of the discussion if we zoom in on the interaction between the supply side and the demand side. It was not a sudden deterioration in the supply side of the economy, such as a drastic reduction in the flexibility of the labor market, that triggered the rise in unemployment in the Organization ...

an understanding of patient mobility, international patients and medical tourism includes supply and demand side considerations. as well as micro-level reports of motivation and satisfaction we must acknowledge broader system-level dynamics. exploring these may unearth more complex geographies of patient travel.

In this paper we develop a quadratic programming model for partner selection and planning in integrated supply chain networks embedded with both sell-side and buy-side electronic marketplaces. Such a scenario arises in several practical applications. In particular, we consider a contract manufacturer who procures components from suppliers through a component marketplace and sells its manufactur...

This paper was written to promote discussion at a workshop on alternative electricity markets in California. Workshop participants will discuss changes on both the supply side and the demand side of the wholesale market. On the supply side, participants will comment on incentives to promote more timely investments by private developers. They will also discuss the appropriate role of the Califor...

The purpose of this paper is to elucidate whether the supply side played a crucial role in causing credit crunch in 1990s. To this end, we estimated the supply and demand functions using prefectural panel data from 1990 to 2001, and calculate the shift of those functions. The results reveal that until 1996, the supply function largely shifted toward right, indicating that the supply side was no...

Alternative development is closely associated with reductions in drug crop cultivation at the local level. However, currently these local successes cannot be directly attributed to alternative development interventions because the motivations and circumstances that determine household drug crop cultivation remain largely unexplored. Research has tended to focus on aggregate trends in drug crop ...
