Sunstainable Farming Serious Game

Castagna, Romain ; Glassey Balet, Nicole (Dir.)

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute Ecole de Gestion & Tourisme, 2020.

Ce travail de Bachelor a été conçu en collaboration avec M. Buchs, étudiant en Master de la Haute École Pédagogique du Valais (HEP VS). Il a pour but de proposer le prototype numérique d’un jeu didactique mettant en avant l’influence du climat sur la production de denrées agricoles à travers le monde. Dans ce contexte, ce dernier a imaginé le scénario d’une simulation de type...

Explorative market research on a family farm business in Switzerland : how can a family farm business effectively implement a marketing strategy in order to be profitable and grow in the meat industry in Switzerland ?

Weber, Jenny ; Connerton, Timothy (Dir.)

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute école de gestion de Genève, 2020 ; TDIBM 77.

On average, three farms disappear every day in Switzerland. Small-scaled farms are the most affected by this downturn (Conrad Widmer, 2019). However, larger farms (over 50 ha) have increased. The consequence of this trend is that larger farms represent now a bigger share in Switzerland farming market, at the expense of smaller farms. How can small farms survive in this fast changing and...

Better roads, better off? : Evidence on improving roads in Tanzania

Dumas, Christelle ; Játiva, Ximena

(Working Papers SES ; 518)

Spatial isolation is considered as one of the main determinants of poverty. Therefore, many transport investments are undertaken with a stated objective of poverty reduction. In our paper, we evaluate a Tanzanian program that rehabilitated 2500km of major roads between 2008 and 2013. We deal with endogenous placement issues with a household fixed-effect strategy combined with a propensity score...

Returns to farm child labor in Tanzania

André, Pierre ; Delesalle, Esther ; Dumas, Christelle

(Working Papers SES ; 502)

In developing countries, the opportunity costs of children’s time can significantly hinder universal education. This paper studies one of these opportunity costs: we estimate the agricultural productivity of children aged 10 to 15 years old using the LSMS-ISA panel survey in Tanzania. Since child labor can be endogenous, we exploit the panel structure of the data and instrument child labor...
