This document discusses balancing trade statistics between countries. It describes Eurostat's FIGARO approach which uses weighted averages to consolidate trade flows when exports and imports between countries are not equal. It examines challenges like differences in valuation, coverage or data sources that can cause trade asymmetries. The document outlines Eurostat's process for developing Quarterly Data Reports which distinguish domestic, re-export and quasi-transit trade to help correct biases and improve the estimates of trade flows between countries.
Factors affecting profit efficiency among smallholder beef producers in BotswanaILRI
Botswana’s livestock sector provides about two thirds of national agricultural value added and beef production is a vital part of the rural economy as a source of income and employment. However, throughout the beef value chain, high costs of Sanitary and Phyto-sanitary (SPS) compliance are apparent, and on the demand side, reductions in EU beef support prices have adversely affected competitiveness and the country is unable to utilise fully its preferential access to EU import markets. This poster presents information on a study to measure competitiveness in Botswana's beef value chain and identify the factors affecting it, so as to advocate change in Botswana’s smallholder livestock systems.
En Italie, la nouvelle PAC vise notamment l’amélioration des conditions d’élevage et la réduction du recours aux antibiotiques. Un écorégime spécifique est introduit, avec deux niveaux de paiement selon l’engagement des éleveurs. Il est atteignable uniquement par l’inscription dans la démarche ClassyFarm, développée par le ministère de la santé.

The direct impact of risk management tools on farm income aes 2015Jason Loughrey
This is a presentation given at the 89th Annual Conference of the Agricultural Economics Society at the University of Warwick on April 13th 2015. The presentation deals with the important topic of risk management in Agriculture. The research is specifically concerned with identifying the direct profit impacts of forward contracts for spring barley producers in Ireland. A stochastic farm level model is developed to estimate the degree of income risk attached to the production of spring barley at the farm level. This model is based on the methodologies outlined by Richardson et al. (2000). In addition, we provide examples of hypothetical specialist tillage farms to illustrate the likely extent of risk aversion required to enter into a forward contract at alternative prices.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
