We explore how firms grow by adding products. In contrast to most earlier work on the topic, our conceptual and empirical framework allows for separate treatment of product innovation (vertical differentiation) and diversification (horizontal differentiation). The market context is Japan’s...

Among the numerous problems that are facing cotton farmers, climate change is one of the most important still out of their control. Adaptation appears to be one of the best alternatives. The objective of this research is to assess the impact of climate change on cotton production in the Savannah...

Climate variability and extremes adversely impacts Australian cotton crop production and imposes a major constraint on farm planning, industry supply chains and resource allocation. This study reviews time-series yield and crop production methods to account for climate, as well as perform a...

During the first half of of the nineteenth century the United States emerged as a major producer of cotton textiles. This paper argues that the expansion of domestic textile production is best understood as a path- dependent process that was initiated by the proetction provided by the Embargo...

Although the benefits of genetically modified (GM) crops have been well documented, how do farmers manage the risk of new technology in the early stages of technology adoption has received less attention. We compare the total factor productivity (TFP) of cotton to other major crops (wheat, rice,...

This paper uses the diamond model theory as the basic research perspective to explore how the upstream and downstream industrial chains of cotton in Xinjiang can escape from the constraints of reality and how their resource endowments can be transformed into competitive advantages. This paper...

This study examines the price transmission between cotton prices in U.S., Indian, and Chinese futures markets. We focus on studying the long-run price movements using cointegration and alternate causality tests. The empirical results indicate the following: (a) the U.S. cotton futures market...

This study examines the market and price behavior is the supreme problem of commodity investors and trader. The present study spotlights the price behavior/movement and market behavior/volatile in Indian agricultural commodity market (MCX). The study aims to study the volatility and caused...

This paper examines one of the central hypotheses of the New Institutional Economics: that the reform of institutions--the rules and regulations enforced by the State that both permit and bound the operation of markets--is crucial for the process of economic growth. It examines this hypothesis...

Recent research has suggested that the antebellum U.S. cotton textile industry would have been wiped out had it not received tariff protection. We reaffirm Taussig's judgment that the U.S. cotton textile industry was largely independent of the tariff by the 1830s. American and British producers...

Declining cotton production in Nigeria is challenged by climatic suitability and price volatility despite its importance as a cash crop and domestic use. This study assesses the challenges in the cotton industry through understanding the production process and the possible profitability. Using a...

Effective management of cotton production logistics (CPL) against volatile environmental conditions while maintaining product quality and yield at acceptable costs has become challenging due to increasing global population and consumption and climate change. In CPL, the harvesting, processing,...
