There is considerable interest in the potential for using operational research (O.R.) in developing countries. One sign of this is the formation of new societies for O.R. scientists in countries and regions where no such society had existed. Since 2003, such societies have been formed in several parts of Africa. This paper focuses on West Africa, and presents a bibliography of papers relating to applications of O.R. in the nations of this part of the continent. The paper describes the way in which the bibliography was collated and discusses the overall picture that the list of papers presents of the state of O.R. in the 18 countries that are considered.

“…Once the real costs of production are estimated, competitiveness will be evaluated along the lines initially developed by Bruno (1967) in his measurement of domestic resource costs and the various refinements that subsequently have been introduced (Corden, 1974;Ingram and Pearson, 1981;Pearson et aI., 1987;Monke and Pearson, 1989). The starting point of such an evaluation was to derive actual costs of production by adjusting domestic costs and tradable products for taxes, subsidies and other price distortions.…”

Profitability analysis of foodgrain in the Sudan's irrigated agricultural sector

This paper discusses the situation of irrigated sorghum and wheat with respect to their financial and economic profitability and international competitiveness in use of domestic resources, in light of declared government policy which emphasizes shifting from traditional rainfed sector to irrigated sector for production of staple foodgrain. Domestic resource cost analysis has been employed using official and shadow exchange rates. Measures of domestic resource cost ratio, international value added, international competitiveness, nominal and effective protection coefficients were also estimated. Results indicate that the economic profitability has been significantly higher than the financial one due mainly to variability in international prices, yields and overvalued exchange rates; but devaluation of the currency is not a sufficient condition for paying higher prices to farmers.

“…In developing countries such as Ghana (Ingram and Pearson, 1981) and Argentina (Borello, 1995) incentives produced weak location and industry impacts. However, similar schemes seem to have had relative success in some East Asian countries (Wade, 1990), and in some developed countries like the UK (Allen et al, 1986).…”

The industry and location impacts of investment incentives on SMEs start-up in Ethiopia

This paper examines impacts of investment incentives (exemptions from paying duties on imported capital goods and income taxes) on entrepreneurial choices of industry and location in indigenous small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ethiopia. Evidence from the 1990s showed that just a few supported industries received the lion's share of the incentives, to set up in locations intended to receive the least support. Close study of the entrepreneurs showed that they set up enterprises where they live, work, and in industries where they have accumulated training or experience. The study concludes that investment incentives are rather weak policy instruments of indigenous SMEs and regional development in Ethiopia, and that other developing countries need to be cautious about such instruments.
