{"product_id":"risk-assessment-of-food-supply-tetsuji-tanaka-9781443841832","title":"Risk Assessment of Food Supply: A Computable General Equilibrium Approach","description":"In recent years, food prices have been volatile worldwide. High and fluctuating food prices have led to riots in many low income countries, and have increased the world poverty population. Both developed and developing nations are rushing to buy farmland, even outside their own countries, for their future food security, which indicates that it has been more difficult to secure food supplies. This book addresses the issue of agricultural trade liberalisation by Japan, factors behind the world food price spikes in 2008 and their impacts on the least developed economies, using computable general equilibrium models. The book gives the reader insights into the probabilistic benefits and risks of agricultural free trade by Japan that past literature has not answered. Furthermore, the reader will be given a better understanding about the size of the impacts of various factors behind the 2008 food price hikes, such as biofuel, the rise in oil price, severe poor harvests in Australia, and their effects on impoverished countries. This book will be indispensable, not only for students, academics and policy makers who are involved in the fields of agriculture, development, and food security, but also for people learning CGE modelling, as it provides readers with plenty of information on the structure and applications of the models.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tetsuji Tanaka,Huanguang Qiu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1443841838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781443841832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge Scholars Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Tetsuji Tanaka","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48518491406591,"sku":"9781443841832","price":67.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f29c56ce-13b0-4272-8363-ee791ca33cd8.jpg?v=1778734638","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/risk-assessment-of-food-supply-tetsuji-tanaka-9781443841832","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
