Labour Migration and Rural Agricultural Production in Southwestern Nigeria
In recent years, Nigeria witnessed significant labour migration coupled with reduction in rural agricultural productivity. Youths abandoned farms for ventures with high returns and less drudgery in cities thus labour availability in peak agricultural seasons became scarce. The declining farm population constituting mostly women and old men are not capable of producing sufficient food for the no...
متن کاملShadow prices for continuous processes
In a financial market with a continuous price process and proportional transaction costs we investigate the problem of utility maximization of terminal wealth. We give sufficient conditions for the existence of a shadow price process, i.e. a least favorable frictionless market leading to the same optimal strategy and utility as in the original market under transaction costs. The crucial ingredi...
متن کاملShadow prices in territory division
We consider a geographic optimization problem in which we are given a region R, a probability density function f(·) defined on R, and a collection of n utility density functions ui(·) defined on R. Our objective is to divide R into n sub-regions Ri so as to “balance” the overall utilities on the regions, which are given by the integrals ̃ Ri f(x)ui(x) dA. Using a simple complementary slackness a...
متن کاملSlopes of shadow prices and Lagrange multipliers
Manyeconomicmodels andoptimizationproblemsgenerate (endogenous) shadow prices—alias dual variables or Lagrange multipliers. Frequently the “slopes” of resulting price curves—that is, multiplier derivatives—are of great interest. These objects relate to the Jacobian of the optimality conditions. That particular matrix often has block structure. So, we derive explicit formulas for the inverse of ...
متن کاملShadow prices, environmental stringency, and international competitiveness
Empirical tests of the relationship between international competitiveness and the severity of environmental regulations are hampered by the lack of pollution abatement cost data for nonU.S. countries. The theory of the firm suggests that environmental stringency can be measured by the difference between a polluting input’s shadow price and its market price. We make a first attempt at quantifyin...
