The Impact

Irrigation production is a means by which agricultural production can be increased to meet the growing food demands in the world. This study evaluated the effect of irrigation ecology on farm household technical, allocative, and economic efficiency of smallholder rice farmers. Cross-sectional data was obtained from 350 rice farmers across rain fed and irrigation ecologies. Stochastic frontier analyses are used to estimate the production efficiency and endogenous treatment effect regression model is used to estimate the impact of irrigation ecology on rice production efficiency. The impact of irrigation ecology on technical efficiency is about 0.05, which implies farmers producing under irrigation ecology are more technically efficient in their rice production than those in rain fed production. The impact of irrigation ecology on allocative efficiency is about 0.33, which shows that farmers participating in irrigation farming are more allocatively efficient in their rice production than those in rain fed production. The impact on economic efficiency is about 0.23, meaning that farmers participating in irrigation farming are more economically efficient in their rice production than those in rain fed production. Irrigation ecology has positive impact on production efficiency; hence farmers should be encouraged to produce more under irrigation for increased yield and profit.

Factors Influencing

According to the survey of 162 farm households in Tra Vinh province, this article compares and evalutes the economic efficiency of the crop conversion model  (from rice to vegetable). The results show that the incomes of these farm households were 3 times higher than those of rice farm households, approximately 5.7 million VND/0.25 acre /year. In addition, the regression  analysis was applied in this study to identify and quantify the factors influencing the economic efficiency of the conversion model. The results confirm the interaction between vegetable crops, rice – vegetable rotational crops, labor cost, age and the ethnicity of  householders. In particular, the households’ awareness of climate change has a positive impact on the economic efficiency of the model. Finally, the research suggests some solutions to the improvement of the economic efficiency of the crop conversion model which adapts to climate change.

Abstract Foreign trade in sub-developed regions may lead to serious environmental problems. Impact of foreign trade in sub-developed regions on green economic efficiency and its possible impact channels are qualitatively analyzed, empirical tests are conducted based on the data of 80 Prefecture-level cities in Central China. Results show that: 1. Foreign trade of Central China will have a significant direct negative impact on green economic efficiency, which is not conducive to green growth. 2. Expanding the scale of foreign trade in Central China will stimulate industries agglomerate to big cities and promote the level of industrial specialization within the region, which will have indirect negative impacts on green economic efficiency. 3. Foreign trade in Central China will improve the policy environment for industrial development, then have an indirect positive impact on green economic efficiency, whereas its impact on technological innovation is not significant. 4. Impact of foreign trade in different cities in Central China on green economic efficiency are heterogeneous from the perspective of spatial heterogeneity and from the perspective of city characteristic heterogeneity, and when environmental regulation exceeds a certain threshold, the negative impact of foreign trade on green economic efficiency will turn to positive. Policy implications are proposed.

Abstract Introduction. Attention to grain production is driven by its strategic importance within Ukraine's agro-industrial complex, as its products are critically important as key foodstuffs to support the life. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the economic efficiency increase of grain production in agricultural enterprises in the Mykolaiv region in modern conditions. Results. The general characteristic of the Mykolaiv region agriculture is given. The essence of the concept of «economic efficiency» is revealed and the indicators of its measurement for food grain are proposed. Indicators yield grain crops to the dynamics are considered, outlining the growth of spring wheat, but the reduction millet and buckwheat. The economic efficiency analysis of grain production in agrarian enterprises of the Mykolaiv region has been done for the studied period by the following indicators: yield, cost of 1 centner of production, average selling price, profit, profitability. As a result of the combined impact of rising cost and price, profitability declined by 8% to 25.7% in 2017. The role of scientifically grounded structure of acreage is considered in ensuring efficiency of agricultural enterprises management based on crop rotation of different soil and climatic zones of Ukraine as a form of organization of their alternation in cultivation. Construction parameters for economic and mathematical model of acreage areas optimization of grain crops in agrarian enterprises of Mykolayiv region are presented. Conclusions. As a result of the proposed model calculation, optimized values of the specific gravity of the acreage under different crops have been obtained: the sowing of spring wheat will increase by 10% and the smallest – peas by 2%. It is proposed to reduce the acreage under winter wheat by 14% and spring barley by 8%. Such changes will have a positive impact on sales revenue, product cost, and overall profitability. Keywords: agrarian enterprise, grain crops, economic efficiency, intensification of grain production, yield, cost, profit, level of profitability, economic and mathematical model.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the determinants of consumers' intention to adopt or continue to use Internet-only banks based on the benefit–risk framework and network externality theory. It also examines the difference in the determinants between pre- and postadoption stages of innovation.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed research model was tested by using online survey data collected from a South Korean sample, which was divided into two subgroups of 321 nonadopters and 351 existing users.FindingsIn both pre- and postadoption stages, the number of services provided and trust had a significant positive impact on consumers' behavioral intentions, while security risks had a negative impact. Critical mass in the preadoption stage and convenience and economic efficiency in the postadoption stage had positive effects on consumer's adoption intention and continuance intention, respectively.Practical implicationsInternet-only banks must reduce the security risks for consumers and increase their trust. In addition, to facilitate the adoption of nonadopters, focus should be on securing a critical mass; on the other hand, to promote the continued use of existing users, the focus should be on enhancing benefits such as convenience and economic efficiency.Originality/valueThe results of this study confirm the influence of network externalities on consumers' adoption and use of financial technology services and show differences in consumer decision-making according to the innovation diffusion process.

Evidence Based Healthcare

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed an extraordinary challenge for public health and health policy. Questions have arisen concerning the main strategies to cope with this situation and the lessons to be learned from the pandemic. This conceptual paper aims to clarify these questions via sociological concepts. Regarding coping strategies used during the pandemic, there is a strong tendency for health policymakers to rely on expert knowledge rather than on evidence-based knowledge. This has caused the evidence-based healthcare community to respond to urgent demands for advice by rapidly processing new knowledge. Nonetheless, health policymakers still mainly rely on experts in making policy decisions. Our sociological analysis of this situation identified three lessons for coping with pandemic and non-pandemic health challenges: (1) the phenomenon of accelerating knowledge processing could be interpreted from the organizational innovation perspective as a shift from traditional mechanistic knowledge processing to more organic forms of knowledge processing. This can be described as an “organic turn.” (2) The return of experts is part of this organic turn and shows that experts provide both evidence-based knowledge as well as theoretical, experiential, and contextual knowledge. (3) Experts can use theory to expeditiously provide advice at times when there is limited evidence available and to provide complexity-reducing orientation for decisionmakers at times where knowledge production leads to an overload of knowledge; thus, evidence-based knowledge should be complemented by theory-based knowledge in a structured two-way interaction to obtain the most comprehensive and valid recommendations for health policy.

The article discusses the environmental and economic aspects of the effectiveness of cooperation with customers and processors of secondary raw materials in waste management. The area of research and implementation of the research results is the handling of film waste in warehouse logistics. The role and importance of environmentally friendly development of companies engaged in the field of logistics has been determined. The article discusses modern methods for the use of waste in warehouse logistics and offers improved methods for working with them using the method of analyzing financial and economic indicators in the interests of assessing the effectiveness of restructuring or improving processes associated with the formation of film waste in warehouse logistics. The economic efficiency of using the PHP press has been proved simultaneously with the optimization of the processes of sorting mixed waste in warehouse logistics. In order to increase the use of films from recycled materials, a new method has been proposed that partially replaces the use of films from primary raw materials. In addition, a method of cooperation between a warehouse company and a recycler was proposed and tested in order to minimize the supply chain and obtain an additional economic effect due to the return of waste back to products. The article discusses cooperation with the use of a tolling scheme, in which waste for a logistics company is converted into raw materials, and not into products, as is the case with the usual sale of waste. Considered and proved the effectiveness of cooperation with the use of a tolling scheme regarding taxation, both for the processor of raw materials and for the warehouse company. In our opinion, the research results presented in the article convincingly demonstrate the positive impact of the proposed measures on the economic, environmental and social spheres, which may serve as a sufficient basis for using such approaches in the interests of the environmentally oriented development of logistics companies.

This paper examines the interface between the economic and social elements of competition law in ASEAN. Generally, the aim of competition law should be to protect the process of competition, promote market efficiencies and enhance consumer welfare in the countries. Nevertheless there is a concern arising from such interface. Competition law strives to ensure competition and economic efficiency but market structure and behavior which harm competition or lead to inefficiency may have positive impact on the society. Along these lines, this paper looks into the social applications of competition legislation of Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. Variations between different ASEAN Members are expected to influence any discussions on this issue but social objectives of competition law, and social exclusions are among others the tools used to further social goals in the laws of the ASEAN Members that have been analysed. To address the possibility of political and special interest capturing such social interpretations of competition law, this paper proposes a model that requires increasing reliance on economic analysis and the use of proportionality principle to minimise subjectivity.
