TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the impact of differential export tax rates along value chains, in particular in the oilseeds value chain, and showed how implementing a tax on exports of raw agricultural commodity in a country exporting seeds and vegetable oils, augments the sum of profits and final consumers' surplus in the processing sector, of farmers' surplus, and of public revenues.
Abstract: This paper studies the implementation of Differential Export Tax (DET) rates along value chains, in particular in the oilseeds chain (seeds/vegetable oils/biodiesel): this trade policy consists in relatively high export taxes on raw commodities and relatively low taxes on processed goods. This policy may generate public revenues and benefit final consumption by lowering domestic prices of vegetable oils and biodiesel, and also promotes production at more processed stages of transformation, particularly in response to tariff escalation by importing partners. We first study the theoretical justification of this trade policy with a simple international trade model. It shows how implementing a tax on exports of raw agricultural commodity in a country exporting seeds and vegetable oils, augments the sum of profits and final consumers' surplus in the processing sector, of farmers' surplus, and of public revenues. Then we develop a world partial equilibrium model of the oilseed value chain that illustrates these theoretical conclusions. We simulate: (i) the elimination of DETs in Argentina, Indonesia and Ukraine; (ii) the elimination of import tariffs applied by the EU and the US on the same goods; (iii) the elimination of DETs in Argentina, Indonesia and Ukraine and of import tariffs applied by the EU and the US. According to our estimates, both consumers and producers throughout the world benefit from the removal of export taxes in these value chains, respectively 931 million USD and 2.2 billion USD. The third scenario leads to a significant expansion of world production of all activities along the value chain, including the production of biodiesel for which world output would expand by one percent.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the interaction of three regulatory networks and their influence over sustainable shrimp aquaculture in East Kalimantan, and show that while government and nongovernment organization (NGO) regulatory networks have focused on the standardization of best practices, it is artisanal trade networks, controlled by local patrons, that hold most influence over production.
Abstract: Taking related concepts of friction and a simplified value chain analysis, this article focuses on interaction of three regulatory networks and their influence over sustainable shrimp aquaculture in East Kalimantan. The results show that while government and nongovernment organization (NGO) regulatory networks have focused on the standardization of best practices, it is artisanal trade networks, controlled by local patrons (or ponggawa), that hold most influence over production. By exploring the influence of these ponggawa over production and trade we demonstrate how patronage is key to regulating the conduct of farmers and constitutes a vital, but poorly understood element in the shrimp value chain. We conclude that while ponggawa hold a central position in these value chains they remain systematically ignored by state and NGO-market-led regulatory networks. As a result, many of the frictions inherent to local–global interconnections of shrimp aquaculture limit any externally led attempt to create change.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined seven steps the Ethiopian government took to build the industrial policy: create a high-level focus on the sector; make strategic use of international development partners; attract a "lead goose" (Chinese) in the footwear sector; build government capacity to support the sector, strengthen business associations; shock-to-shape upgrading; improve input supply.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce supply management scholars to family business, including its prominence and unique characteristics, and develop a research agenda from existing supply management and family business literature by offering propositions for future research where family business influences may permeate contemporary supply management topics.

01 Aug 2005TL;DR: In this paper, a process model is implemented for increasing the current maturity level of the value chain based on the information associated with the activities, and a process is used to evaluate a value chain associated with an enterprise.
Abstract: One method for implementing a solution design methodology includes receiving a request to evaluate a value chain associated with an enterprise. The value chain comprises activities. The enterprise is queried for information associated with the activities. A current maturity level of the value chain is identified based, at least in part, on the information. A process model is implemented for increasing the current maturity level.
