title: Structural Change and Welfare: A Micro Panel Data Evidence from Ghana

description: Ghana is an example of a developing economy where both output and employment have shifted from agriculture to services and where structural change has not followed the standard pattern observed for many industrialised countries. However, there appears to be a limited understanding of what this changing structure means for poverty reduction and welfare for Ghana, with previous studies focusing mainly on the growth effect of structural change. This article interrogates the welfare effects of cross-sector labour movements in Ghana using the first two waves of the Ghana Socio-economic Panel Surveys. Our results show that labour movements from agriculture to services improve welfare while a move from services to agriculture decreases welfare. We also find that women and younger people are more likely to undertake the welfare-enhancing move, from agriculture to services, than men and older people respectively. On the other hand, we find that men, older people and individuals with relatively high-risk profile are more likely to move from services to agriculture. These findings support the view that structural change in Ghana have played a significant role in Ghana’s poverty reduction achievements in the last three decades.

title: Effects of Monetary Policy on Food Inequality in India

description: <i>Food insecurity and hunger are significant components of standard poverty measures and continue to be pressing issues in emerging market economies. However, these issues have received less attention in examining the indirect effects of monetary policy. In this paper, we study the impact of monetary policy on food inequality in India. Specifically, we examine the impact of monetary policy shocks on relative food prices and the distribution of food consumption, focusing on subsistence food consumption of poor households. Using the most recent household survey data, we estimate the dynamic effects of monetary policy shocks on relative food prices and the distribution of food consumption in rural and urban India using a dynamic common factor model. Our results show that expansionary monetary policy shocks increase the</i> relative <i>price of food, reduce the food consumption of poor households, and raise food consumption inequality across households. Increase in the relative price of food following a monetary expansion disproportionately hurts the poor relative to the non-poor. This is the first study to provide evidence of a</i> ‘food price channel’ <i>in monetary policy transmission to understand food inequality. This study holds important policy implications for Indian central bankers and policymakers as well as for those in similar emerging market economies.</i>

title: Ethnic Diversity and Food Insecurity: Evidence from Ghana

description: We examine the link between ethnic diversity and food insecurity. Using data from the Ghana Living Standards Survey, we measure food insecurity using the Food Insecurity Experience Scale and measure ethnic diversity at the district level using information from the Ghana Population and Housing Census. After addressing endogeneity, we find that an increase in ethnic diversity is associated with an increase in food insecurity. This result is robust to different approaches to addressing endogeneity, different measures of ethnic diversity and alternative ways of conceptualising food insecurity. Our findings further show that trust, threat of criminal violence and threat of war/conflict are important channels through which ethnic diversity influences food insecurity.

title: Optimal grading of TPMS-based lattice structures with transversely isotropic elastic bulk properties

description: In this work, a topology optimization (TO) based framework for functional grading of triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) based lattice structures is developed, implemented and demonstrated. Material interpolation laws of the gyroid, G-prime and Schwarz-D surfaces are derived by numerical homogenization for transversely isotropic elasticity and are represented as convex combinations of solid isotropic material with penalization (SIMP) and rational approximation of material properties (RAMP) models. These convex combinations are implemented in the TO-based compliance problem with new upper and lower bounds on the density variables representing the volume fraction limits of the lattices. The lower bound on the density variables is treated by introducing a sigmoid filter in the optimization loop forcing densities below the lower boundary towards zero. The optimal density solution is represented by Shepard interpolations or radial basis function networks, which, in turn, are utilized for the thickness grading of the TPMS-based lattices. In addition, the global boundary of the lattice structure is identified by support vector machines. Finally, a standard triangle language (STL) file is generated from the implicit surfaces by using marching cubes, which is utilized for further studies by nonlinear finite element analysis and to set up 3D printing of the optimal component quickly. The framework is demonstrated for the established L-shaped benchmark and the well-known General Electric engine bracket.

title: Chemistry of stream water from the Luquillo Mountains

description: Stream water is collected weekly at the Luquillo Mountain sites listed below. These data sets begin as early as 1983; LTER sampling began in 1988. Stream water samples are grab samples taken from the water/air interface at stream channel center on the sampling day (usually Tuesdays). A continuous record of stream stage (height) is recorded by a datalogger at all ongoing stream sampling sites. Average daily streamflows are available from the USGS and at other locations (Hydrology and Meteorology) on this site. All samples are measured for pH and conductivity, and then filtered (pre-combusted Whatman GF/F glass fiber filter) prior to further analysis. From 1983-1994 samples were cooled and returned to the San Juan chemistry laboratory for analysis. During those years, samples for NH4 and NO3 analyses were refrigerated continuously until analysis. Subsamples for NH4 analysis were also preserved with 1 molar H2SO4. From 1994 on, samples for NH4 and NO3were frozen until analysis, were not acidified, and all analyses were conducted at the University of New Hampshire. Stream water Sampling SitesDescriptions of LTER LUQ stream water weekly sample chemistry data from 1988 onwards. Chemical concentrations are recorded as mg/L or mg/L as appropriate.
