Research highlights ? Long term changes in soil quality and crop productivity with fertilizer and tillage. ? Soil Quality Index (SQI) developed using Principal Components Approach. ? Improved soil quality in No-till, Reduced Input compared to conventional management. ? Conservation management improves nutrient availability, soil stability and structure. ? Soil quality concord with microbial nitrogen processing, nitrogen use and leaching. A scoped approach to traceability management??Original Research ArticleJournal of Systems and Software This paper proposes a structural VAR model which extends the frameworks of Hoffmaister and Roldós [Hoffmaister, A. W., Roldós, J. E. (2001). The sources of macroeconomic fluctuations in developing countries: Brazil and Korea. Journal of Macroeconomics, 23, 213–239] and Prasad [Prasad, E.S. (1999). International trade and the business cycle. Economic Journal, 109, 588–606]. The model is then used to analyse the sources of Chinas trade balance fluctuations in the period of 1985–2000. Efforts are made to distinguish the forces which underlie the long-run trend in trade balance from those with transitory impacts. The effects of four types of shock are examined—the foreign supply shock, the domestic supply shock, the relative demand shock and the nominal shock. Among other findings, two emerge as important. First, the movements in Chinas trade balance are largely the result of real shocks. Second, the Renminbi is undervalued, yet changes in the exchange rate bear little on the trade balance. Therefore, monetary measures would not suffice to redress Chinas trade ‘imbalance’. Article Outline 1. Introduction 2. Methodology 3. Data 4. Empirical results 4.1.
