This book was released on 1983 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently the use of agricultural credit as a developmental tool seemed clear and straightforward. Most concerned people believed that increases in the volume of cheap credit were necessary to boost agricultural production, and that the rural poor could be brought into the mainstream of development through supervised credit programs. It seemed that certain ideal types of rural credit institutions offered the promise of meeting farmers' credit needs, and that experience in the industrialized countries with cooperatives and specialized agricultural finance institutions could be effectively transplanted to low-income countries. This collection of readings highlights facets of rural financial markets that have often been neglected in discussions of agricultural credit in developing countries. It moves beyond a narrow concern with the simple provision of credit to a broad consideration of the performance of rural financial markets and of ways to improve the quality and range of financial services for low-income farmers. It reflects new thinking on the design, administration, evaluation and policy framework of rural finance and credit programs in developing countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's demand for food is expected to double within the next 50 years, while the natural resources that sustain agriculture will become increasingly scarce, degraded, and vulnerable to the effects of climate change. In many poor countries, agriculture accounts for at least 40 percent of GDP and 80 percent of employment. At the same time, about 70 percent of the world's poor live in rural areas and most depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. 'World Development Report 2008' seeks to assess where, when, and how agriculture can be an effective instrument for economic development, especially development that favors the poor. It examines several broad questions: How has agriculture changed in developing countries in the past 20 years? What are the important new challenges and opportunities for agriculture? Which new sources of agricultural growth can be captured cost effectively in particular in poor countries with large agricultural sectors as in Africa? How can agricultural growth be made more effective for poverty reduction? How can governments facilitate the transition of large populations out of agriculture, without simply transferring the burden of rural poverty to urban areas? How can the natural resource endowment for agriculture be protected? How can agriculture's negative environmental effects be contained? This year's report marks the 30th year the World Bank has been publishing the 'World Development Report'.

This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conventional wisdomaboutcreditmarketshas been radically alteredin recent years through the introduction of elements of moral hazard,adverseselectionofrisk,and quality-price relationships. Important empiricalstudies have been published which are leading to vastly different policyimplications. This analysis has not been explicitly extended to informalcredit markets so far, although it is widely recognized that credit transactedoutside the banking circuit is quantitatively huge and qualitatively critical,especially in developing countries.This book combines the new theoretical approach to credit markets withcertain precepts of the New Institutional Economics in order to analyzeinformal credit markets. While the formal financial institutions in developingcountries carry out credit transactions within the limits set by the marketenvironment and by government policies, informal institutions evolve by aparticular selection of modes of economic behavior which are responses tointrinsic imperfections of the market. The informal sector enhances trust bymakingexistingtiesanintegralcomponentofcreditcontracts:thecontractualcomponent of informal credit capitalizes on the personalistic (social andeconomic) relationships between the transacting parties.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Papers In This Volume Seek To Focus Through Rigorous Mathematical Models On Some Important Aspects Of Rural Economy In The Late Developing Countries. The Emphasis Is On Filling In The Gaps In The Existing Theoretical Literature On Rural Markets In These Countries By Constructing Models, Which Are More Realistic And Free From The Disquieting Features Of The Existing Models In This Field. The Models In This Volume Have Been Built Around The Typical Environmental And Socio-Economic Conditions As Well As Behaviour Patterns In The Less Developed Countries E.G., Price Uncertainty In The Product Market, Production Uncertainty, Crop Insurance Scheme Of The Government, Delay In The Disbursement Of Formal Credit, Price And Credit Subsidy Policies Of The Government Etc. The Principal-Agent Framework And Game Theory Have Been Pressed Into Service Where Necessary. The Book Presents, Inter Alia, Two Models On Credit-Product Interlinkage, One Model On Interlinked Credit-Share Tenancy Contract, And Three Models On Interaction Between Formal And Informal Credit Markets. A New Theory Of Interest Rate Determination In The Informal Credit Market Has Also Been Provide, Which Can Explain The Prevalence Of High Interest Rate In That Market. The Effects Of Price And Credit Subsidy Policies On The Productivity Of Farmer S Land And Alternative Ways Of Formulating A Credit Subsidy Policy Have Been Studied. Finally, There Is An Empirical Analysis Of The Flow Of Formal Credit To Farmers Based On A Survey Of Two Selected Villages In West Bengal, India.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1985, twenty-three chapters are brought together in 4 parts dealing with, respectively, problems in rural finance, interest rate policies, politics and finance, and new directions for rural financial markets. In an introduction it is argued that cheap and abundant credit is often regarded as essential for rural development but that actions taken on the basis of this assumption have given disappointing results. Low-interest policies and the improper use of financial markets are seen as the principal reasons for this. It is recommended that higher and more flexible interest rates are allowed and that little or no attention is given to target loans. Informal lenders are thought to offer valuable services therefore they should not be discouraged. More emphasis should be put on voluntary savings mobilization and access to formal loans by non-farm rural firms. It is concluded that many traditional agricultural credit programmes are counterproductive and that attractive product and input prices together with higher yields would be more powerful in stimulating agricultural development.
