"Combinatorial Bootstrap Inference IN in Prtially Identified Incomplete Structural Models"

We propose a computationally feasible inference method infinite games of complete information. Galichon and Henry (2011) and Beresteanu, Molchanov, and Molinari (2011) show that such models are equivalent to a collection of moment inequalities that increases exponentially with the number of discrete outcomes. We propose an equivalent characterization based on classical combinatorial optimization methods that alleviates this computational burden and allows the construction of confidence regions with an effcient combinatorial bootstrap procedure that runs in linear computing time. The method can also be applied to the empirical analysis of cooperative and noncooperative games, instrumental variable models of discrete choice and revealed preference analysis. We propose an application to the determinants of long term elderly care choices.

An Un-American Foreign Policy: The Peace Corps Overseas, 1961–71

AbstractOn October 14, 1960, John F. Kennedy, on the road campaigning for the presidency of the United States of America, declared his plan of sending young Americans abroad in order to live and work, for a few years of their lives, among the peoples of the poorer countries. Five months later, the Peace Corps was born, and after another five months, it sent the first volunteers to Ghana. The Peace Corps was an agency of foreign policy. It sought to share American skills and goodwill to the developing countries of the world. However, its activities were often at odds with the United States government s foreign policies.This paper looks into the unique, and often confusing, role of the Peace Corps in American foreign policy during the agency s first decade, 1961-1971. It argues that the overseas work of the Peace Corps, although belonging to overall American foreign policy, often differed, and sometimes even opposed, the official foreign policy of the United States. This study is based only on limited research due to the few sources about the Peace Corps available to the author, but its focus is on the interpretation of these sources, using them to prove the uniqueness of the corps s foreign relations approach.The corps operated differently from the other United States overseas agencies. It went to work in countries without diplomatic relations with the United States. It sent workers (not mere advisers) to live in slums, jungles, and farms of the developing world. The Peace Corps volunteers would also express opinions contrary to the official government position on global issues, such as on the Vietnam War.The nature of the Peace Corps was so different from the rest of American foreign agencies that the host countries peoples were confused. In 1965, during the Dominican Republic s civil war, a volunteer came upon a group of people writing on the walls of buildings in the capital Santo Domingo, Yankees Go Home. Upon seeing this, he said to them, Well, I guess that means me. I ll get packed. The Dominican called him back, Oh, no! I meant the Yankees, not the Peace Corps

Role of International Fund for Agricultural Development/ Community Based Agricultural and Rural Development Programme (IFAD/CBARDP) in Improving the Livelihood of Rural Women: A Case Study of Aliero Local Government Area, Kebbi State, Nigeria

This study examined the role of IFAD/CBARDP on improving rural women’s livelihood in Kebbi State, Nigeria. Multistage sampling technique was adopted to select 80 IFAD participating women. Structured questionnaire was used in data collection. Descriptive statistics was used to present the data obtained. Majority of the women were married, and at active productive ages. Qur’anic education was the common educational status of the participants. The findings also reveal that all the IFAD participating women were provided with assistance based on needs and interest and the common assistance provided was the training on tailoring, knitting, soap and cream making and later the participants were provided with such machines. In addition, the participants were also provided cash loan. The programme has lead to improvement of the living standards of the participants after programme participation. Attitudinal dispositional test using 3 points Likert’s scale reveal that the participating women strongly agreed that the programme has improved their living standard, the loan was adequate, and all the assistance provided was based on their needs and interest. It is concluded that the participating women were involved in decision making, most especially on the assistance provided, and the management of the assistance. It’s recommended that effort should be geared towards increasing women participation in any intervention programme that could uplift the livelihood of the rural communities.Keywords: Role, IFAD/CBARDP, Poverty Reduction, participating women, Kebbi Stat

Challenges, Effects, Coping Strategies, and Measures of Financing Agriculture: Socio-dynamics of Conventional and Islamic Sources of Finance in Kaduna State, Nigeria

Kaduna State in Nigeria is a predominantly agricultural society with active farmers within the median age group of between 35- 54 years who are into food crop production with maize as the major food crop and ginger as the major cash crop produced in Kaduna State. Their business activities are spread almost evenly across the geographical zones in Kaduna State. The main aim of this paper is to examine the causal relationships of the effects of the challenges of financing agriculture on the challenges of financing agriculture and also evaluate the effects of the measures to mitigate the challenges of financing agriculture on the coping strategies adopted in financing agriculture in Nigeria. Data were collected using the questionnaire as the instrument of data collection in a quantitative method based on the cluster sampling technique, 663(50%) questionnaires were administered across 17 different clusters across the three (3) geographical zones in Kaduna State and some centralized offices of financial institutions within Abuja and 562 responses were received with a sample error margin of -17.9%. An Ordinary Least Square (OLS) linear regression test conducted revealed the effects of challenges of financing agriculture on the lack of collateral to obtain a loan with a B .820 and managerial/government bureaucracy in financing agriculture coming second with a B .638. Privatization of energy is a major challenge to agro manufacturing and the value chain with B .585 is in third place while lack of finance for mechanization and irrigation technology is in fourth place with B .572. In addition, the study also revealed the impact of the measures on the coping strategies is strongest on Zakat with a B 1.679. The effect of the measure on contribution from family and friends as a coping strategy comes in second place with a B .912. The study also revealed insecurity and infrastructural development as other impediments to financing agriculture in Nigeria based on the explored open-ended question. It is recommended that a central zakat fund be established to provide stable non-interest finance to smallholder farmers.

Hubungan Berat Badan Lahir Rendah (Bblr) Dengan Kejadian Asfiksia Di Ruang Nicu Rsud Prof. Dr. H. Aloei Saboe

Berat Badan Lahir Rendah (BBLR) adalah bayi yang lahir dengan berat badan kurang dari 2500 gram yang bisa menyebabkan Asfiksia Neonatorum. Bayi dengan BBLR memiliki banyak risiko mengalami permasalahan pada sisrtem tubuh, karena kondisi tubuh yang tidak stabil. Kematian perinatal pada bayi BBLR adalah 8 kali lebih besar dari bayi normal. Prognosis bayi dengan BBLR akan lebih buruk bila berat badan semakin rendah. Kematian sering disebabkan karena komplikasi neonatal seperti asfiksia. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis hubungan berat badan lahir rendah (BBLR) dengan kejadian asfiksia. Desain penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh bayi rujukan dan yang lahir di RSUD Prof. Dr. H. Aloei Saboe pada tiga bulan terakhir sebanyak 54 bayi dengan tehnik sampling menggunakan purposive sampling. Sampel penelitian ini ada 30 orang. Hasil penelitian uji analisis chi-square didapatkan nilai p-value < α 0,05, maka dapat disimpulkan hubungan berat badan lahir rendah (BBLR) dengan kejadian asfiksia ini diharapkan dapat menambah dan meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kesadaran masyarakat tentang pentingnya menjaga kesehatan ibu dan janin selama kehamilan.         &nbsp
