Acacia species is the main tree species grown in forest plantation in Thua ThienHue province. This study has used Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) as the main researchframework to analyze the profitability and the effects of intervention policies on theprofitability of acacia production in order to provide information, which can be used toassist in planting and expanding of acacia forest, to policy-makers and farmers. The resultsshowed that the acacia plantation is profitable but higher-profit model of intensivecultivation was almost twice as profitable as the extensive one. Results in PAM showed thatAcacia production offers both private and social efficiency. No indication of market failurewas found. The policies intervention was a tariff of 6.5% on imported fertilizer. Acaciaproduction generally has the protection of the government and efficient use of domesticresources. However, it also bore the tax burden with respect to the input (fertilizer). Acaciaproducts are comparative products in the market. Policy-makers and other forestrydevelopment programs should support farmers in cultivating the intensive model andlowering the interest rate for planting and expanding acacia forest.Keywords: PAM, Acacia production, profitability, Thua Thien Hue.

ABSTRAKKomoditas wortel telah lama menjadi andalan produksi salahsatu kelompok tani Katata yang beradadi Pangalengan, Jawa Barat. Produksinya memiliki kualitas dan kuantitas yang tidak hanya baikdalam pemenuhan lokal saja, namun juga terhadap pemenuhan Ekspor. Tujuan dari penelitian iniadalah untuk mendapatkan pengatahuan daya saing dan peluang ekspor dari dampak kebijakanpemerintah pada usahatani wortel di Kelompok Tani Katata. Penelitian dilakukan di Kelompok TaniKatata, Pangalengan, Kabupaten Bandung. Data dianalisis dengan Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM),untuk menghitung keunggulan komparatif, keunggulan kompetitif dan dampak kebijakan pemerintahdengan menggunakan harga aktual dan harga bayangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwapengusahaan wortel di Kelompok Tani Katata memiliki keunggulan kompetitif karena nilai PCRsebesar 0,062 atau PCR kurang dari satu (PCR < 1). Hal yang sama menunjukkan bahwa wortelmemiliki keunggulan komparatif dengan nilai DRC 0,060 atau DRC kurang dari satu (DRC < 1).Kebijakan pemerintah dinilai menghambat ekspor output dan adanya proteksi terhadap input lokaldibuktikan dengan nilai NPCO dan NPCI yang kurang dari satu. Secara keseluruhan kebijakanpemerintah yang berlaku saat ini masih belum mendukung dalam hal pengembangan danpeningkatan keunggulan komparatif dan keunggulan kompetitif pengusahaan komoditas wortel diKelompok Tani Katata.Kata kunci: daya saing, wortel, ekspor, Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM)ABSTRACTCarrot commodity has been each mainstay production belong to Katata’s farmer group inPangalengan, West Java since long time ago.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji daya saing komoditi kakao di Sulawesi Tengah dan melihat peran pemerintah dalam meningkatkan daya saing komoditi kakao. Data primer berasal dari observasi, wawancara dan kuesioner, sementara data sekunder berasal dari instansi terkait. Metode analisis menggunakan Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) dan analisis sensitivitas. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa nilai PCR Kabupaten Parigi Moutong 0,589 dan Kabupaten Sigi 0,396. Sedangkan nilai DRC Kabupaten Parigi Moutong 0,387 dan Kabupaten Sigi 0,319. Hal tersebut mengindikasikan bahwa usahatani komoditi kakao di Sulawesi Tengah memiliki daya saing, namun tidak menguntungkan secara ekonomi karena Sulawesi Tengah menghasilkan biji kakao yang tidak difermentasi akibatnya petani menerima harga rendah. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, pemerintah belum memberikan proteksi terhadap harga biji kakao dalam negeri melalui harga referensi biji kakao sehingga harga biji kakao didaerah penelitian masih tergolong rendah jika dibandingkan dengan harga di pasar internasional. Sementara terhadap input, pemerintah telah memberikan kebijakan subsidi kepada petani, namun implementasinya masih perlu perbaikan terutama terkait penyaluran dan pengelolaan bantuan agar merata. Kajian ini merekomendasikan masih diperlukan kebijakan pemerintah baik terhadap input maupun output untuk meningkatkan produktivitas, menurunkan biaya produksi dan menaikkan harga jual biji kakao, sehingga dapat meningkatkan daya saing biji kakao. The purpose of this study is to assess the competitiveness of cocoa in Central Sulawesi and to investigate the role of government in improving the competitiveness of cocoa. The primary data were generated through observation, interviews and some questionnaires. The secondary data were obtained from the agency or the institution related to the research. This study uses the Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) and sensitivity analysis. The study found that the PCR value for Parigi Moutong district was 0.589 and Sigi district was 0.396. While, the DRC value for Parigi Moutong district was 0.387 and Sigi district was 0.319. This indicates that cocoa beans farming in Central Sulawesi has competitiveness, but not economically beneficial because Central Sulawesi produces unfermented cocoa beans consequently farmers receive low prices. Based on the results of the government's impact on output analysis, the government did not provide protection for domestic cocoa seed prices through the reference price of cocoa beans, consequently the price of domestic cocoa beans, particularly in the research area, was relatively low compared to the price of cocoa beans at the international market. Seen from the government policy on inputs, the government have provided subsidies to farmers but they need to improve the distribution and management of aid to be evenly distributed. It is necessary to set up good government policy on inputs and outputs in order to increase cocoa seed productivity, decrease production cost and increase the price which simultaneously can improve its competitiveness in the research location.


The study explores the adversities faced by wompreneurs (Women Entrepreneurs) of Odisha and talks about their work-life balance issues. The paper presents the viewpoint (motivation) of wompreneurs as to why they think of starting an enterprise of their own. Focus is also laid onthe supportive factors of wompreneurs and factors that disrupt maintaining their work-life balance.The present exploratory paper is the outcome of a pilot study that has been performed using thematic investigation & analysis to find out solutions for the above-mentioned issues. For this paper, Qualitative research is used, which is conducted by assimilating data from personal interviews and thematically analyzing it. Suggestions for better work-life balance are given at the end. The area of work-life balance is devoid of studies in India, where wompreneurs are expected to have a better work-life balance as they are their own “boss”, the paper tries to explore the authenticity of such assumptions. The model has been devised with the above research objectives to provide insight into motivating factors and work-life balance issues of wompreneurs, which can help the Government, policy-makers, research fraternity and other training counselling institutions to emphasize such emerging issues that would lead to empowered women as well as an empowered Nation.

The objective of this research was to analyze the economic impact of government intervention in the essential cereal crops for (Rice Buhooth1, and Synthetic genotype Baghdad3) by comparing the social price and private prices through adopting policy analysis matrix approach PAM and the derived parameters from it .The research was divided into two chapters; the first chapter was about field counting for the policy analysis matrix PAM and measuring the implications of the government intervention on the Rice Buhooth1. The second chapter was about explaining the field counting for policy analysis matrix PAM and measuring the implications of the government intervention impact on the second synthetic genotype Baghdad3.The research found a set of results, the most important result showed that the value of profitability coefficient was about 3.69, this indicates that the rice crop production system for the Rice Buhooth 1  takes advantage of the adopted government policy in that year, which means that there is governmental support for the product. In addition, domestic resource cost coefficient value which was about 0.72 indicates that there is comparative advantage for the Rice Buhooth 1  for the year 2012. The values of the nominal and effective protection coefficient were about 1.74 and 1.59 respectively; the value of the first factor indicates that there is governmental support for the domestic producer for the above, while the second factor indicates that the domestic producer will obtain greater returns in the investment of its resources in the existence of the government intervention from its absence. Regarding the Synthetic genotype Baghdad3, the value of profitability coefficient was about  1.75  which means that there is governmental support for the product. The domestic resource cost coefficient value was about 0.24 which indicates that there was comparative advantage for the mentioned above for the year 2012. The values of the nominal and effective protection coefficient were about 1.48 and 1.56 respectively; the value of the first factor indicates that there is governmental support for the domestic producer for the above, while the second factor indicates that the domestic producer will obtain greater returns in the investment of its resources in the existence of the government intervention from its absence. Finally, it is highly recommended that support should be increased for the varieties that the country has greater comparative advantage in order to improve the utilization of available resources and reduce wasted resources. Moreover, similar studies should be done in the future by other researchers to major cereal crops varieties at the country level in order to do comparison between them to set a mechanism for the government intervention policy in the main crop prices in the country which help both the local producer and agricultural investor in directing its resources properly.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis daya saing budidaya rumput laut di Kabupaten Konawe Selatan, Sulawesi Tenggara dan telah dilakukan pada bulan September 2011. Metode analisis penelitianini menggunakan Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM), dengan menggunakan data rumput laut dari Kabupaten Lombok Timur untuk memperoleh nilai ekonomi (harga sosial). Nilai Domestic Resource Cost Ratio (DRCR) sebesar 0,98 menunjukkan bahwa usaha rumput laut di Kabupaten Konawe Selatan memiliki keunggulan komparatif dan daya saing lebih besar dibandingkan dengan usaha rumput laut di Kabupaten LombokTimur. Sebaliknya, nilai Tradable Resource Cost Ratio (TRCR) sebesar 1,38 menunjukan kurang mampu bersaing dengan usaha budidaya rumput laut di Kabupaten Lombok Timur. Peningkatan daya saing rumput laut di Kabupaten Konawe Selatan dapat dilakukan melalui kebijakan penurunan harga satuan bibit dan bahan bakar minyak (BBM) secara bersama-sama sebesar 28% serta kebijakan peningkatan harga satuan tenaga kerja upahan dan depresiasi aset produksi secara keseluruhan sebesar 4%.Tittle:Competitiveness of Seaweed Commodity in Indonesia (Case Study: South Konawe Regent, South-East Sulawesi)The study aims to analyze the competitiveness of seaweed farming South Konawe regency, SouthEast Sulawesi was conducted in September2011. Analysis methods of this research using the Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) using economic value (social prices) data which is collect from the east Lombok seaweed. The value of Domestic Resource Cost Ratio (DRCR) (0.98) indicates that the seaweed business in South Konawe has a comparative advantage and more competitive than the seaweed in East Lombok. Contrarily, based on Tradable Resource Cost Ratio (TRCR) values (1.38) is less able to compete with the cultivation of seaweeds in East Lombok. The seaweed of South Konawe competitiveness should be improve by policy implementation of lowering the unit cost of seed and fuel oil (BBM) jointly by 28% and increase the unit cost of hired labor and depreciation of assets overall production by 4%.

 The paper aims to see so far the policies have been recommended and implemented which is interrelated with the lives and livelihoods of the vulnerable communities and, as a result, the well-being and safety of persons, communities and countries as a whole have been affected being persons with disabilities so far both by the non-government organizations and what could be done by the government policy makers. Ten percent of the total population of Bangladesh is known as differently able, often called Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) or disabled people according to the survey of Bangladesh Protibandhi Kallayan Somity (BPKS, 2014). It is worth saying that they are often treated with disregard, and so far they are the vulnerable of the society. Yet their role in homes, places of work and communities is often underplayed. So the paper prepares the studies of policies in terms of how we can integrate and mainstream the excluded differently abled /disabled/PWDs through accessibility in people with disabilities friendly policy making. Disasters, many of which are exacerbated by climate change and are increasing in frequency and intensity, significantly impede progress towards sustainable development. Till now we have achieved both the Hyogo and Sendai Framework based on disaster management do have impressions having the framework to be vocal and to ensure the access of the persons with disabilities in terms disasters, many of which are related with the climate change  and adaptation. The paper recommends that the “Children with Disabilities” must be included in a separate policy based framework and the two most important terms based on vulnerabilities and hazards should be more inclusive towards the specialization of the accessibility of the persons with disabilities where both the non-government organizations and government can work together.

Electronic government has proven a watershed in the domain of public administration despite being difficult to pin down precisely. Indeed, the government-to-government (G2G) arena is one of the least studied aspects of this newly established field of knowledge. This chapter aims to present a heuristic frame to implement government-to-government endeavors effectively. The frame presented in this article was largely drawn from an actual government-to-government case study successfully implemented in Brazil. From the analysis of this explanatory case study involving the Brazilian Central Bank (BCB) and the Brazilian Justice Department (BJD), some key success factors were singled out as well as the major hurdles to be overcome and causes thereof. These findings led the researcher to propose a heuristic frame not only to explain the conclusions drawn from the case study presented, but also to help researchers, practitioners, and policy makers to deploy government-to-government projects adequately.

During the past ten years, economic growth in Vietnam changed positively in the direction of a modern industrial economy. Accordingly, economic structure also experienced changes in which manufacturing and service sectors accounted for a bigger share in the GDP. The government and most researchers are therefore very interested in economic structural change. This structural change in Vietnam as a whole requires the same change in local economies. However, some provinces did not catch up with the national development yet. Thus, in order to facilitate structural change on the whole economy, it is necessary to clarify what economic structural change aims at, and identify a quantitative model for measuring impact of such change, which becomes a real challenge to Vietnam?s researchers and policy makers. To help solve this problem, the authors conducted a case study in B?n Tre to seek practical evidence. The results, based on regressive model, VAR model and Granger causality test, show that economic structural change impacts on the level of economic growth, labor productivity and the quality of life. This research also lays the foundation for a model for forecasting impacts of economic structural change.

Shallot is one of horticultural commodities with a high demand. Majority of shallots in Maluku are bought from Surabaya and Makasar. However, the government continuously does horticultural development in the center of shallot production. The objective of this study was to analize the competitiveness and comparativeness of farming between shallots which are cultivated by local farmer and shallots which are imported. There were three locations of research i.e., Maluku Tenggara, Seram Bagian Barat, and Maluku Tengah. Primary data were collected by quessioner and used purposive sampling method. Primary data were analyzed using policy analysis matrix. The results showed that shallot farming in Maluku has comparative and competitive advantages compared with imported shallots. Agricultural government policy effectively increases local farmer insentive. However, it shows a decreasing trend while increasing productivity of shallot. Shallot farming having production higher than 8 ton/ha need output subsidy to give price guarantee. Effort to increase shallot competitiveness is conducted by increasing productivity and developing a farmer institution to make a sustainable agricultural development.   Keywords: shallot, competitiveness, competitive and comparative
