This study assesses the impact of climate variability on staple food crops production in the Northern regions of Togo using cereal and climate data over the period of 1972-2013. The linear mixed model and generalized linear mixed model are used. The results indicate that maize is the most vulnerable...

Despite record global economic growth in past decade malnutrition remains a serious problem in many parts of the world. According to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), about 800 million people (17% of the world's population) remain malnourished. For these households at a su...

There is a long and distinguished literature involving demand analysis using international cross-section data. Such models are widely used for predicting national per capita consumption. However, there is nothing in this literature testing the performance of estimated models in predicting demands ac...
