No full textPotential impact of land redistribution on the South African economy
Get PDFThesis (Ph.D. (Commerce in Economics)) -- University of Limpopo, 2023Natural resource ownership programmes are introduced as a way of improving income
distribution and alleviating poverty in rural areas that are mostly in developing countries.
These ownership programmes range from fishing rights ownership to rural land
redistribution programmes under which rural land redistribution is the most dominant
and common policy in developing countries. In the case of South Africa, land redistribution policies are still being implemented in line with the national development plan targeting extreme poverty alleviation and reduction of wide income disparities by the year 2030. Although the policies can be regarded as effective, they may have diverging effects on economic growth, poverty, and income distribution mostly in developing countries. Land redistributive policies can be viewed as effective tools for reducing rural poverty mainly because agriculture continues to be a major source of rural livelihood and a contributor to rural economic growth. Theoretically, agricultural land reform significantly contributes towards poverty alleviation through increased average income, improved income distribution, increased crop yield, and demand for export-oriented agricultural products, thereby increasing the overall welfare of smallholder farmers. Empirically, in most developing countries, the impacts of redistributive policies have mostly been analysed using static economy-wide computable general equilibrium (CGE) models. Although these models are widely used in assessing the impacts of these economic policies, the potential overall policy impacts comprising short-run, long-run and detailed distribution effects and the over-time behavioural response to policy shifts are not adequately captured. The economic structural changes and economy-wide impacts need to be assessed and captured over time. A South African Social Accounting matrix can be used as a data base to construct a dynamic CGE model to simulate the potential impact on household welfare in South Africa. A dynamic model will be appropriate because rural land redistribution is a long-term investment, while simulation is essential for detailed distributional analysis of poverty. Although several studies have been conducted on the impacts of rural land redistribution policies in South Africa, in the researcher’s knowledge, none of them have applied a dynamic CGE model to assess the poverty impacts, especially of the proposed government rural land redistribution policy. Essentially, the empirical rural land redistribution studies accounted for neither the dynamics nor distributive effects for a detailed poverty analysis of the rural land redistribution programme due to the static nature of the model. Therefore, this study seeks to assess how government redistributive policies may affect household welfare in the short and long-run, focusing on poverty and income distribution in South Africa by applying a dynamic CGE model.The empirical results showed that there is a strong connection between the agriculture sector and household income as rural households mostly derive their income from agricultural activities. This implies that any policy that targets the agriculture sector will have an impact on rural household income. Contrary to the general view that rural land redistribution in developing countries is disinclined to poverty and income inequalities, the study established that properly implemented rural land redistribution coupled with government support is an important strategic policy in poverty reduction with long-term economic benefits. The study also identified the various channels through which rural land redistribution impacts rural household income. It can be noted that poorer households are the net direct beneficiaries of rural land redistribution, particularly through factor returns. It can be foreseen that improving household access to productive land could be key to sustainable and inclusive economic growth in South Africa. The results support the claim that rural land redistribution coupled with agriculture investment and government support can be effective in improving household welfare. It is recommended that the South African government should increase investment towards land beneficiaries as a way of boosting agriculture production.Centre for Environmental Economics and Policy for Africa (CEEPA
The Other Face of Julius Fučík
No full textThe author of the thesis is primarily going to examine the publishing activity of Julius Fučík in the magazines Tvorba and Kmen in the second half of the 1920s. In her work the author will also focus on Fučík?s life and the historical context of that time. Part of the thesis will deal with his later works. The aim of the work is to show Julius Fučík in a different light in comparison to the previous unilateral views

Julius Bab Collection 1895-1977 ; bulk 1895-1955
No full textThe collection contains few personal, official or vital documents, but is exceptionally rich in correspondence, manuscripts, diaries, appointment books, and scrapbooks documenting Julius Bab's cultural work and endeavors. The bulk of the collection consists of the scrapbooks, which contain extensive clippings of articles by and about Bab. Of the other series, the correspondence is of particular note both for its extent and for the impressive array of original letters by notable cultural figures. There are the over 100 letters from the literary critic and martyred revolutionary Gustav Landauer, and nearly as many from the playwright Richard Dehmel; the files also contain a considerable amount of correspondence with Nobel Prize winning playwright Gerhart Hauptmann, with the philosopher Fritz Mauthner, and with the influential editor and writer Moritz Heimann. The correspondence files contain letters from over 90 additional cultural figures, chiefly writers and persons involved with the theater. Among the more prominent of these figures are Walther Rathenau, Thomas Mann, Richard Beer-Hoffmann, George Bernard Shaw, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Max Liebermann, and Stefan Zweig.Rounding out the collection are series containing diaries, theater and lecture programs, and clippings. The diaries series contains two diaries from before 1900, and thereafter several notebooks and appointment books which Bab used as calendars. Although these volumes are primarily functional, occasional longer entries or passages throughout the various volumes have a more diaristic character. The theater and lecture programs series contains programs, clippings, and promotional materials, such as handbills and small posters, for theatrical events and lectures that Bab participated in. A few items of the promotional materials are interesting examples of Jugenstil and Weimar era graphic design. The final small series of newspaper clippings of articles by and about Bab mirrors the overall structure and content of the Scrapbooks series, although it consists entirely of loose, rather than bound clippings.The memoirs of Bab's wife, Elizabeth, 'Aus Zwei Jahrhunderten' are catalogued separately in the memoir collection (ME 21).Photographs have been removed to Photograph CollectionBorn in Berlin on December 11, 1880, Bab was a theater critic, author and co-founder of the Jüdischer Kulturbund in 1933. He emigrated to France in 1938, to the United States in 1940, and died in New York City on February 12, 1955.A 23-page inventory is available in Box 1, folder 1.Julius Bab, Ueber den Tag Hinaus, Heidelberg, Schneider Verlag, 1960.

Optimum currency area theory: A selective review
Get PDFThe first part of this paper is a review of significant papers in the vast literature on optimum currency area (OCA) theory. The author focuses on the main classical contributions, then considers modern treatment of OCA theory. The second part considers empirical literature on the types of geographical areas that might constitute optimum currency areas, particularly with respect to asymmetry and symmetry of shocks.
