Agricultural Economics—Without Apology
Over the past few weeks, I have written extensively about the twin issues of rising food prices and food price volatility.
It all began with this post, in which I explained the difference between rising food prices and food price volatility and which came as a result of people frequently misusing the concept of food price volatility in the media, both mainstream and social.
“Giant Steps,” by John Coltrane:
Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) is looking for an intern for this summer:
IPA is looking for a team of self-starting individuals enthusiastic about research and willing to be involved in an Informal Savings study during the late Spring/Summer of 2011. Positions are available in a number of developing countries, including some where IPA has existing field infrastructure. Start and end dates are flexible, but interns are asked to commit to 10 weeks in the field over the course of the summer, beginning no sooner than the first of June.
