Recent welfare reform initiatives aimed at moving recipients off welfare and into the workforce represent the most important change in United States social welfare policy in recent decades. Concerns have been raised that nonmetropolitan heads of single-female families with children, the primary...

The interactions between price policy and expenditures in farm and animal husbandry research indicate that separate analysis of these factors is inadequate for understanding the complexities inherent to the formulation of agricultural policy. This article

An estimated 80,000-100,000 Dominican farmers produce coffee and cocoa, nearly 40 percent of all agricultural producers. The sectors also provide employment for tens of thousands of field laborers and persons employed in linked economic activities. The majority of coffee and cocoa producers are...

The portfolio variance has gained popularity as a tool to evaluate alternative strategies that promote regional economic stability. As it is commonly applied, however, the portfolio variance has several problems that limit its appropriateness for regional economic analysis. There are several...

Decomposition of an extended input-output model can provide insights into the relationship between a region's changing economic structure and its performance. Standard decomposition techniques are augmented and adapted to generate a conceptual framework for identifying potential sources of...
