TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address how increased rural incomes in select African cases are spent on consumption items, the implications of these patterns for stimulating rural growth, and areas of intervention necessary to sustain demand-led growth from improved agricultural technology and economic reforms.
Abstract: This paper addresses how increased rural incomes in select African cases are spent on consumption items, the implications of these patterns for stimulating rural growth, and areas of intervention necessary to sustain demand-led growth from improved agricultural technology and economic reforms. The country studies utilize panel data collected by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in collaboration with African institutions and re-

TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual water balance model based on field data from the Arvari River catchment was developed to study and understand catchment-scale trade-offs of rainwater harvesting (RWH).

TL;DR: A range of economic models that can be applied in animal health research are described and guidance is provided for determining the appropriate method given the issues at hand.
Abstract: This paper demonstrates how currently underutilised economic modelling techniques can enrich the analysis of animal disease problems. Increasingly, analyses of animal health programmes are expected to address a range of economic and social questions. These expectations can be addressed by better integration of epidemiological modelling with economic techniques whose application to animal health has not been thoroughly discussed in past reviews. This paper describes a range of economic models that can be applied in animal health research and provides guidance for determining the appropriate method given the issues at hand. The complexity of some of these approaches underlines the importance of multidisciplinary research and education.

TL;DR: An integrated modeling framework that translates atmospheric changes from general circulation model projections into biophysical outcomes via detailed hydrologic, crop, hydropower and infrastructure models is developed, which identifies improved road design and agricultural sector investments as key ‘no-regret’ adaptation measures.
Abstract: Mozambique, like many African countries, is already highly susceptible to climate variability and extreme weather events. Climate change threatens to heighten this vulnerability. In order to evaluate potential impacts and adaptation options for Mozambique, we develop an integrated modeling framework that translates atmospheric changes from general circulation model projections into biophysical outcomes via detailed hydrologic, crop, hydropower and infrastructure models. These sector models simulate a historical baseline and four extreme climate change scenarios. Sector results are then passed down to a dynamic computable general equilibrium model, which is used to estimate economy-wide impacts on national welfare, as well as the total cost of damages caused by climate change. Potential damages without changes in policy are significant; our discounted estimates range from US$ 2.3 to US $7.4 billion during 2003–2050. Our analysis identifies improved road design and agricultural sector investments as key ‘no-regret’ adaptation measures, alongside intensified efforts to develop a more flexible and resilient society. Our findings also support the need for cooperative river basin management and the regional coordination of adaptation strategies.
