Recent studies have pointed out the modification of climate by aerosols released in the stratosphere by strong volcanic eruptions. The rainfall at 15 meteorological stations in Sri Lanka and the low latitude (20" N to 20" S) volcanoes, having volcanic explosivity index (VEI) 4 or more, for a period

## Abstract We used multiβyear satellite observations to study aerosol effects on the largeβscale variability in precipitation of the West African Monsoon (WAM) region, which is often impacted by high concentrations of desert dust and biomassβburning smoke. We find a statistically significant preci
This paper calculates multilateral Malmquist indices of total factor productivity (TFP) for agriculture in 47 African countries, for the period 1961Β±91. The average rate of TFP growth was found to be 1.27 per cent, which is higher than expected, given the pessimistic nature of much of the literature
Cointegration techniques were used to identify valid long-run relationships between macroeconomic variables and agriculture. Then, identifying restrictions were imposed on a VAR system and three long-run equilibrium relationships were found, with exports, the real price of outputs and net farm incom
