Growth and Transformation Plan (2010/11 -2014/15)
     and Monetary policy in the five-years :
            The Case of Ethiopia
I.     Main development agenda of the Ethiopian government is: poverty reduction.

             through:
                • Broad-based; and
                • Accelerated and Sustained economic growth
                     – the country is believed to join the middle income group in the next 10 to
                       15 years
II.    Towards this main agenda, the Five-Year (2010/11 – 2014/15) Growth and
       Transformation Plan has been prepared.

III.   GTP comprises of detailed socio-economic transformation plans and targets.
       My presentation focuses on the economic side of it.
IV.    GTP is a closed and internally consistent plan: the plan has tried to ensure
       consistency between growth and macroeconomic stability objectives.
           A/ Sector-wide growth and investment Plan

           B/ Five-years financial Programming
A/ Sector-wide growth and investment Plan
  Four main objectives:
      1. Achieve at least an average real GDP growth of 11.2% and attain MDGs
               In the Five-years GTP (2010/11 – 20014/15)
                                                      higher-case     base-case
                            Real GDP growth              14.9%         11.2%
                          – agriculture                   14.9%         8.6%
                          –      industry                 21.3%         20.0%
                          –     services                  12.8%         10.6%

               This would be achieved through high and sustained investment and increase
                domestic savings
                 – Gross capital formation - to - GDP ratio to reach 28.2% (in 2014/15)
                     from 22.3% (in 2009/10)

                      »     Investment in infrastructure and social development (expansion
                            and ensuring quality)
                             •    Easy access to power (e.g. electricity coverage from 41% to 75%)
                             •    Transport (e.g. average time taken to all-weather roads from 3.7hrs to
                                  1.4hrs;
                             •    Communication ( e.g. fixed line telephone density from 1.36% to
                                  3.4%)
»     Investment in industries
                       e.g.
                         •    Sugar exports earnings to reach USD 661.7 million in 2014/15 from
                              zero in 2009/10
                         •    Textile and garment export earnings to reach USD 1000 million in
                              2014/5 from USD 21.8 million in 2009/10
             –   Domestic saving-to-GDP ratio is targeted to reach 15.0% (2014/15 from
                 5.5% in 2009/10)
                  » Broadening the tax base and increase tax collection capacity;
                  » Introducing new financial saving instruments and markets such as
                  » Government saving bonds introduced;
                  » Other contractual saving instruments such as private pension
                       funds to start soon.
2.   Expand and ensure the qualities of education and health services and achieve
     MDGs in the social sector
3.   Establishing suitable conditions for sustainable nation building through the
     creation of a stable democratic and developmental state;
4.   Ensuring the sustainability of growth though stable macroeconomic framework
B/ Financial Programming
       The objectives of Financial programming is to ensure internal consistency
        between growth and macroeconomic stability objectives

       The GTP takes maintaining a stable macroeconomic environment as a
        necessary condition to attain high and sustained real GDP growth.

  So, the four pillars of the FP are:

        –     GDP growth and investment targets
        –     Monetary Policy (Inflation) targets
        –     BOP targets
        –     Fiscal target
1/    Monetary Policy:
      Objectives:
           a.     containing inflation in single digit while allowing macroeconomic space for growth
                  (inflation rate of 6-9.5%)
                 –       Helps for accelerated growth and investment
                 –       Supports for achieving poverty reduction efforts
           b.     Allowing for monetization of the economy (to accelerate the rate of domestic
                  savings)
                 –       Reaching out those sections of the society that has not been monetized. This
                         would be supported by financial sector policies (no. 3 below)
                 –       Accelerating specialization and division of labor
     Monetary transmission mechanism
            Policy instruments operational target intermediate target                Goals
     Policies and targets:
          Targets:
              operational target (nominal anchor) – Reserve money
          Policies:
                 –       Statutory reserve requirement
                 –       treasury bills (primary market)
                 –       Moral suasion
2/     Fiscal policy
      – Sustainable fiscal balance
           • Budget deficit–to-GDP ratio of not more than 3 percent
                – Increasing tax revenue/ GDP ratio to 15% (2014/15) from 11.3% in
                   2009/10
      – Central Treasury towards not resort to central bank borrowing

3/      Financial sector policies
      – Establishing accessible, efficient and competitive financial system
          • Access to finance to reach 67% in 2014/15 from 20% in 2009/10
                – E.g. introducing modern national payment system

 4/    Sustainable trade balance of the balance of payments
      – trade deficit-to-GDP ratio to decline to -15 percent by 2014/15
      – Current account deficit also to drop to -2 % of GDP by the end of the plan period
      – Policies include : competitive exchange rate; doing aggressive work on improving the
        quality of exports; infrastructure expansion and selected incentives to export sector;
        and market based import substitution strategy.
Main Challenges of Monetary Policy
•   Loose link between operational target (RM) and intermediate target (MS)
     – Volatility of the money multiplier


•   Inadequate foreign exchange sterilization instruments
         - huge inflow of foreign exchange bloating RM

•   High correlation between international food and fuel inflation and domestic inflation
     – Imported inflation through:
           • Exports - agriculture accounts more than 80 percent of total exports
           • Imports – fuel accounts more than 15 percent of total imports

2. Approach/Empirical model

     “Hybrid” approach: inflation results from ‘excess demand and
        supply’ in key markets
         Monetary sector (excess money supply)
         External sector (measured with domestic and international prices in
          domestic currency)
           Treat food and non-food prices (markets) separately
         Agricultural sector (output gap)
         Plus several short-run and seasonal factors

Modellling approach
            1. Estimate long run relationships with cointegration analysis and/or filtering
            2. Formulate error correction models for CPI, food prices, cereal prices and
               non-food prices
            3. Use Autometrics and general-to-specific modelling to obtain parsimonous
               error correction models and test hypotheses
                          Autometrics is an algorithm that does automatic model selection
                          while keeping the significance level constant (Doornik 2008)

Main finding: dominant role of world
     food prices and agricultural supply
      Domestic food prices adjust to changes in world food
       prices (plus exchange rate)
        But large deviations from long-run equilibrium prices because of
         agricultural supply shocks and expectations
        Food price inflation (2004-2007) was mainly triggered by global
         food price developments
      Little evidence for “structural” change story
        Inter-seasonal speculation due to news probably explains 2008
         cereal price increases (‘similar’ episodes in 1980/81, 1983/84,
         1990/91, etc. (see Osborne, 2004)
      Domestic non-food prices adjust to changes in world
       producer prices (plus exchange rate)
      Money supply not the main driver of inflation
14
Interpretation of findings:
      Monetary policy was ‘accommodating’
        Large excess reserve ratios in banking system severs link to monetary
         policy instruments. NBE had little control of money supply (recurred
         to credit ceilings in 2009)
        Exchange rate policy matters for inflation
      The world food price transmission mechanism is not fully
       understood
         Weak private and financial sectors
         Restrictions on regional commodity trade and access to foreign
          currency,
           But there is ‘informal’ cross-border trade
         Donors and government imports do some of the arbitrage
         Wholesale market dominated by few companies,
           Is there a role for price information without much trade?



15
Main findings: Food price transmission
          The world food price transmission mechanisms is not fully
           understood
            Weak private and financial sectors
            Restrictions on regional commodity trade and access to foreign
             currency,
              But there is some cross-border trade

1. Background and Motivation


      Data show enormous increases in Ethiopia's grain production over the
      past decade or more.

      Production of Ethiopia's most important cereal grains  wheat, maize,
      sorghum, millet, barley, and te  more than doubled between 1998
      and 2009.

      Using 3-year averages, 72% increase between 1998-2000 and 2007-09.

      Important to understand recent trends in yield and to make sense,
      where possible, of the Ethiopian experience.

      Part of a broader study looking at crop yield levels and growth in
      Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.

A Green Revolution?



      From 1999 to 2009, grain yields for the six main cereal crops
      combined grew at an annual average growth rate of 3.89%.

      Area harvested also grew, at a rate of 2.31% annually.

      Together, this resulted in an annual average increase in grain
      production of 6.29%, sustained over a decade.

      Compare this with India's Green Revolution experience: in the peak
      10-year period, grain production grew at an annual average rate of
      4.15% (1965 to 1975).

2. Methodology and Approach




      No new primary data.

      Review data on output, yield.

      Look at evidence on inputs.

      Consider data on trade, prices, etc.

      Interpret results.

      Identify specic targets for further data collection.




 D. Gollin   (Williams College )   Ethiopia Yield Study       Growth Week 2011   5 / 26
Comparisons




      Compare Ethiopia with Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania  both in levels
      and growth rates.

      Compare Ethiopia's experience in cereals with evidence from other
      crops and commodities.

      Compare recent period with longer time trends.

      Compare Ethiopia's experience with original Green Revolution in
      India and other countries.

Grain production in Ethiopia



      Ethiopia's production of cereal grains is rising rapidly.

      The data suggest that Ethiopia's total cereal production has risen
      from 25% of the region's total in the early 1990s to over 40% in
      recent years.

      This     dierential success is striking.
      Is this coming at the expense of other crops?

              Not at the expense of root crops, beans, coee and sugar, all of which
              are continuing to grow in Ethiopia.

Sources of Growth



      Production of almost all crops appears to be growing rapidly. With
      few exceptions, growth is faster than in neighboring countries.

      Is this a Green Revolution?

      What are the sources of growth?

Growth in Cropped Area

      Area harvested is growing rapidly for most major crops.

      The total area harvested to these crops has increased at 4.2% annually
      for the past 15 years.

4. Prices




      Agricultural price data are dicult to interpret.

              Nominal prices of dierent commodities track together.
              Prices are in local currency units; dicult to make comparisons across
              countries.
      Relationship of prices to production increases is in any event
      ambiguous; shift in supply vs. movement along the supply curve.




 D. Gollin   (Williams College )     Ethiopia Yield Study      Growth Week 2011   13 / 26
Relative Price Comparisons


      Analyze relative prices in Ethiopia and Kenya.

      Consider local prices of food crops (partly determined on domestic
      markets) relative to local price of coee (largely determined on world
      market).

      See how these relative prices move over time within the two countries
       and how the relationship between the relative prices changes with
      production levels in the two countries.

      In general, when Ethiopia's production rises relative to Kenya's, we
      would expect relative prices of these commodities to fall relative to
      Kenyan prices.

Prices  A Summary



      It does not appear that prices are falling to the extent that we might
      expect if production is growing at the current rate, and if domestic
      markets are (as we think) poorly integrated with world markets.

      Not conclusive evidence, but these data challenge our thinking with
      respect to reported production increases:

              They are collected independently from production data.
              Should incorporate all the forces on the supply side.
              Prices are intrinsically important; directly related to the welfare of
              urban consumers.

5. Comparisons with India's Green Revolution




      Useful to compare Ethiopia's experience with that of India in 1965-75.

      How close are the parallels?

      In what ways do the data from Ethiopia mirror those from Green
      Revolution India, and in what ways do the data dier?




 D. Gollin   (Williams College )   Ethiopia Yield Study   Growth Week 2011   20 / 26
Breadth and Depth of the Green Revolution

      Ethiopia's experience involves a much broader increase in crop
      productivity:

              India's Green Revolution was initially conned to two crops: wheat and
              rice. Some (smaller) productivity gains arrived later in maize, sorghum,
              and millet.
      Ethiopia has seen far larger increases in area harvested.

              India saw limited growth in the total area planted to cereals, with only
              0.86% average annual growth in cereals from 1965-75.
              Rapid increases in wheat area (4.56% annual growth) and maize
              (1.79% from a small base).
              Sorghum and millet actually declined in area, at annual growth rates of
              -1.51% and -0.27% respectively; crowded out by productivity gains in
              the other grains.
              Cereals collectively displaced other crops; negative growth in area
              planted to other crops.

Input Intensication


      India's Green Revolution was heavily dependent on input
      intensication.

      Nitrogen fertilizer use:

              3.5 kg/ha in 1965
              16.4 kg/ha in 1975
      Tractors:

              48,000 in 1965
              168,000 in 1975
      Agricultural labor use

              480 million in 1964/65
              599 million in 1974/75



 D. Gollin   (Williams College )       Ethiopia Yield Study   Growth Week 2011   22 / 26
Input Intensication, cont.




      Irrigation

              26.5 million ha in 1965 (16.3% of cultivated area)
              33.7 million ha in 1975 (20.1% of cultivated area)
      Improved seeds

              Essentially zero in 1965
              By 1975, semi-dwarf varieties on 75% of wheat area and 27% of rice
              area.




 D. Gollin   (Williams College )     Ethiopia Yield Study      Growth Week 2011   23 / 26
India's Neighbors


      India's Green Revolution was part of a well-documented regional
      techological revolution.

      Rice production in India's neighbors  Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan,
      and Sri Lanka  rose at an average annual rate of 2.1% from 1965-75,
      and wheat production in those countries grew at a rate of 6.9%.

      The Southeast Asian region as a whole saw a 3.1% average annual
      increase in rice production during this period as well.

      In short, India's Green Revolution was widely shared and came from a
      well-understood mechanism.

      Ethiopia's experience is not typical of any of its neighbors.




 D. Gollin   (Williams College )   Ethiopia Yield Study   Growth Week 2011   24 / 26
6. Further Questions




      Are the data in fact reliable?

      Sampling issues are complicated, because patterns of population and
      production change over time.

      With urban growth, area sampling frameworks can easily overweight
      intensive production that is close to cities.

      Many other possibilities for sampling error and misreporting.




 D. Gollin   (Williams College )   Ethiopia Yield Study   Growth Week 2011   25 / 26
Does it matter?



      Very important not to make policy decisions based on
      misunderstanding of agricultural output levels and trends.

      Can lead to complacency about agricultural sector.

      Can lead to dangerous policy decisions; e.g., if grain is thought to be
      abundant, then governments might encourage using it for animal feed
       to the detriment of the poor.

      Crucially important to reconcile the agricultural statistics with
      information coming from other sources

Adoption of Seed and Fertiliser in Ethiopia
                              1999-2009
   Adoption of fertiliser and improved seeds key
    to increased land productivity
   However, the adoption and diffusion of such
    technologies has been slow
   Many potential reasons
   Improved seed use is 5% of cropped area
    (cereals) AND ONLY SLOW CHANGE SINCE
   For maize in particular, higher at 20%
    (fourfold increase since 97/98)
   Fertiliser is 39% of cropped area (cereals) – a
    rise from 32% in 97/98
   In this paper – trying to understand role of
    learning and extension in adoption over time
   Constraints on supply/distribution? -
    especially relevant for seed in Ethiopia but
    not fertiliser
   Returns to adoption? (inputs expensive, costly
    credit, returns are heterogenous and
    uncertain) (Suri/Dercon) - plausible
   Imperfect information  uncertainty about
    return on own land – need to learn (Udry 
    Conley)
   We concentrate on the last
   Ethiopian Rural Household Survey, as it is a
    longitudinal data set 1994-2009
   15 villages, so not nationally representative
    for levels of adoption or yield
   But villages in 4 main regions and
    representing diversity of most of rural
    Ethiopia, so helpful in study of processes of
    change and its determinants
   A longitudinal study can allow causal analysis
    of these changes
   Cereal yield grew by 21% (wheat by 62%,
    maize by 19% and barley by 11%) since 99
Modern input use higher in this sample than in
 national average
   14% of cereal crop area cultivated with
    improved seeds
   *Caution: Improved seed is
    bought/exchanged – so unclear if all seed use
    is “improved”
   Seed: better educated, no real differences in
    wealth
   Fertiliser: better educated, wealthier, more
    and better land
   Both: More extension visits in 99
   Key difference: adopters are more likely to
    have neighbours who are adopters too
   Spatial neighbours based on a distance of 1
    km from the household.
   Instrument for the average neighbour's
    decision to adopt : the non-overlapping sets
    of neighbours - or neighbours of neighbours
   Affect the decisions of spatial neighbours
    directly - but not the household's own
    decision
   Robust to variations and distance – and the
    use of self-reported neighbours
   An increase of one standard deviation in the
    average neighbours' adoption raises the
    probability of own adoption by about 11%
    points in 1999 and 12% points in 2009
   Average adoption rates range from 0.18-
    0.23, so this is large - more than double
    current levels.
   An increase of 1 sd in visits – ie about 1.3 visits in
    1999 raises the probability of adoption by 3.7%
    points – (Interpretation: SMALL BUT IMPORTANT!)
   This falls to 1.3% in 2004 and to 2.9% points by 2009
    (here, 1 sd increase is 10 visits)
   The increased probability of adoption is about 1/10th
    the effect in 1999 (VERY SMALL IMPACT)
   (Effects confirmed by controlling for unobserved
    household characteristics/unobserved targeting of
    farmers)
   Consistent with a reasonable (but not high) return to
    extension early on, but close to zero return later on
   The cross-section controls for village-level
    effects – like distance to nearest extension office
   But suppose that extension was targeted at the
    “better” farmers – that there are unobserved
    characteristics at the household level - then
    cross-section will overstate the effect
   So also do this in changes in adoption – removes
    household specific characteristics that do not
    change
   Also check: is effect the same in each year?
   And does learning occur via current neighbours’
    adoption and extension or via past adoption by
    them?
   A one standard deviation increase in the
    average fertiliser adoption of neighbours
    raises own probabilities of adoption of
    fertiliser by 19%.
   The effects are similar in both 1999 and 2009
   A substantial effect given that adoption is
    already about 62% in the survey areas.
   Seed: The speed of diffusion through learning
    from others increases until local diffusion
    levels of 70 percent have been reached
   Fertiliser: these benefits from learning appear
    to tail off at about 30 percent diffusion levels.
   In both cases: an increase by 10% points in
    diffusion in the neighbourhood increases the
    probability of adopting by about 5% points at
    current levels of diffusion
   In comparison to effect of neighbours, the impact
    of extension is :
   Large and significant in 1999
   Collapses by 2009 (similar to effect of extension
    on seed adoption)
   Potentially explained by the targeting of farmers
    more likely to adopt fertiliser in 1999
   True “value-added” of extension might be rather
    low
   However, potential impact on other practices
    useful for yield growth not examined here
   We examine improved seed that is
    bought/exchanged
   Potentially, supply constraints might mean
    sharing of seed more important
   Also, farmers report facing changing land fertility
    – 58% in 1999 said fertility was decreasing –
    making future returns uncertain with new
    technology
   So yes, likely to be learning but..
   Learning from others is a powerful tool, but is
    not amenable to rapid change through policy
    (such as via extension), as it reflects steady but
    careful learning from the experiences of others.
   Clear evidence that adoption occurs in
    neigbhourhoods with learning from each
    other a plausible explanation
   Stable return to learning from others –
    remarkably stable
   Extension not terribly effective for adoption –
    except at start in 1999
   Striking; maybe not surprising given the
    evidence from green revolution (once started,
    spread fast and not via extension)

   New wheat and rice varieties adopted rapidly where
    clear evidence of technical  economic superiority
   Neither farm size nor tenure mattered in adoption
   In Indian Punjab proportion of area planted rose from
    3 in 66/67 to 66% by 69/70
   Adoption in Philippines between 60-95% in 4 years
   Largest increments came in relatively arid areas with
    access to irrigation
   But where the seed needed to be adapted for specific
    environments, the rate of diffusion was much slower
   Extension services generally low impact – with
    influence only in initial take up

Growth Week 2011: Country Session 2 - Ethiopia

  • 1. Growth and Transformation Plan (2010/11 -2014/15) and Monetary policy in the five-years : The Case of Ethiopia
  • 2. I. Main development agenda of the Ethiopian government is: poverty reduction. through: • Broad-based; and • Accelerated and Sustained economic growth – the country is believed to join the middle income group in the next 10 to 15 years II. Towards this main agenda, the Five-Year (2010/11 – 2014/15) Growth and Transformation Plan has been prepared. III. GTP comprises of detailed socio-economic transformation plans and targets. My presentation focuses on the economic side of it. IV. GTP is a closed and internally consistent plan: the plan has tried to ensure consistency between growth and macroeconomic stability objectives. A/ Sector-wide growth and investment Plan B/ Five-years financial Programming
  • 3. A/ Sector-wide growth and investment Plan Four main objectives: 1. Achieve at least an average real GDP growth of 11.2% and attain MDGs  In the Five-years GTP (2010/11 – 20014/15) higher-case base-case Real GDP growth 14.9% 11.2% – agriculture 14.9% 8.6% – industry 21.3% 20.0% – services 12.8% 10.6%  This would be achieved through high and sustained investment and increase domestic savings – Gross capital formation - to - GDP ratio to reach 28.2% (in 2014/15) from 22.3% (in 2009/10) » Investment in infrastructure and social development (expansion and ensuring quality) • Easy access to power (e.g. electricity coverage from 41% to 75%) • Transport (e.g. average time taken to all-weather roads from 3.7hrs to 1.4hrs; • Communication ( e.g. fixed line telephone density from 1.36% to 3.4%)
  • 4. » Investment in industries e.g. • Sugar exports earnings to reach USD 661.7 million in 2014/15 from zero in 2009/10 • Textile and garment export earnings to reach USD 1000 million in 2014/5 from USD 21.8 million in 2009/10 – Domestic saving-to-GDP ratio is targeted to reach 15.0% (2014/15 from 5.5% in 2009/10) » Broadening the tax base and increase tax collection capacity; » Introducing new financial saving instruments and markets such as » Government saving bonds introduced; » Other contractual saving instruments such as private pension funds to start soon. 2. Expand and ensure the qualities of education and health services and achieve MDGs in the social sector 3. Establishing suitable conditions for sustainable nation building through the creation of a stable democratic and developmental state; 4. Ensuring the sustainability of growth though stable macroeconomic framework
  • 5. B/ Financial Programming  The objectives of Financial programming is to ensure internal consistency between growth and macroeconomic stability objectives  The GTP takes maintaining a stable macroeconomic environment as a necessary condition to attain high and sustained real GDP growth. So, the four pillars of the FP are: – GDP growth and investment targets – Monetary Policy (Inflation) targets – BOP targets – Fiscal target
  • 6. 1/ Monetary Policy: Objectives: a. containing inflation in single digit while allowing macroeconomic space for growth (inflation rate of 6-9.5%) – Helps for accelerated growth and investment – Supports for achieving poverty reduction efforts b. Allowing for monetization of the economy (to accelerate the rate of domestic savings) – Reaching out those sections of the society that has not been monetized. This would be supported by financial sector policies (no. 3 below) – Accelerating specialization and division of labor Monetary transmission mechanism Policy instruments operational target intermediate target Goals Policies and targets: Targets: operational target (nominal anchor) – Reserve money Policies: – Statutory reserve requirement – treasury bills (primary market) – Moral suasion
  • 7. 2/ Fiscal policy – Sustainable fiscal balance • Budget deficit–to-GDP ratio of not more than 3 percent – Increasing tax revenue/ GDP ratio to 15% (2014/15) from 11.3% in 2009/10 – Central Treasury towards not resort to central bank borrowing 3/ Financial sector policies – Establishing accessible, efficient and competitive financial system • Access to finance to reach 67% in 2014/15 from 20% in 2009/10 – E.g. introducing modern national payment system 4/ Sustainable trade balance of the balance of payments – trade deficit-to-GDP ratio to decline to -15 percent by 2014/15 – Current account deficit also to drop to -2 % of GDP by the end of the plan period – Policies include : competitive exchange rate; doing aggressive work on improving the quality of exports; infrastructure expansion and selected incentives to export sector; and market based import substitution strategy.
  • 8. Main Challenges of Monetary Policy • Loose link between operational target (RM) and intermediate target (MS) – Volatility of the money multiplier • Inadequate foreign exchange sterilization instruments - huge inflow of foreign exchange bloating RM • High correlation between international food and fuel inflation and domestic inflation – Imported inflation through: • Exports - agriculture accounts more than 80 percent of total exports • Imports – fuel accounts more than 15 percent of total imports
  • 9. Macroeconomic Developments and prospects through the GTP 2010/11 2011/12 2003/04- Target Actual/ Projection 2009/10 Estimate Real GDP growth 11.0 11.2 11.0 * 11.2 Trade deficit/GDP -21.0 -23.6 -17.7 -20.0  Export growth 19.4 37.1 37.1 35.0 Investment/GDP 23.6 28.7 na Inflation (moving 14.9 7.5 18.1 8.5 average) o/w food 17.6 7.0 15.7 8.0
  • 10. Analysis of inflation 2010/11 Headline – including all items in the basket 18.1% – excluding items sensitive to international trade 5.8% Food – including all items in the basket 15.7% – excluding items sensitive to international trade 4.2% Non-food – including all items in the basket 21.8% – excluding items sensitive to international trade 8.2% Note: • excluded from food includes pulses; oils and fats; vegetables and fruits; spices; and coffee
  • 11. Main Challenges for 2011/12 • World food & fuel inflation • Slow recovery from financial crises
  • 13. Food Prices and Inflation in Ethiopia Dick Durevall (University of Gothenburg) Josef Loening (World Bank) Yohannes Ayalew Birru (University of Sussex) 1

  • 15. CPI for food, 1999:1-2011:7 3
  • 16. Annual CPI, Food CPI and Cereal CPI inflation 4
  • 17. 2. Approach/Empirical model  “Hybrid” approach: inflation results from ‘excess demand and supply’ in key markets  Monetary sector (excess money supply)  External sector (measured with domestic and international prices in domestic currency)  Treat food and non-food prices (markets) separately  Agricultural sector (output gap)  Plus several short-run and seasonal factors 5 5

  • 19. Modellling approach 1. Estimate long run relationships with cointegration analysis and/or filtering 2. Formulate error correction models for CPI, food prices, cereal prices and non-food prices 3. Use Autometrics and general-to-specific modelling to obtain parsimonous error correction models and test hypotheses Autometrics is an algorithm that does automatic model selection while keeping the significance level constant (Doornik 2008) A stylized error correction model k −1 k −1 k −1 k −1 k −1 k −1 ∆pt = ∑ π 1i ∆pt −i + ∑ π 2i ∆mt −i + ∑ π 3i ∆Rt −i + ∑ π 4i ∆et −i + ∑ π 5i ∆wfpt −i + ∑ π 6i ∆wpt −i i −1 i= 0 i= 0 i= 0 i= 0 i= 0 π 7 agt −1 + α1 (m − p − γ 1 y − γ 2 R)t −1 + α 2 (e + wp − pnf − τ 1 )t −1 + α 3 ( e + wfp − pf − τ 2 )t −1 + π 7 Dt + vt , 7

  • 22. External food sector: Cereal price index and world price index of grain in Birr (in logs) 10
  • 23. External sectors: relative food and non-food prices Food: e+pwf-pc is stationary Non-food: e+pw-pnf is made stationary with Hodrick-Prescott filter 11
  • 24. Agricultural output gap (obtained with interpolated annual harvests and Hodrick- Prescott filter) and food inflation 12
  • 25. 13
  • 26. Main finding: dominant role of world food prices and agricultural supply  Domestic food prices adjust to changes in world food prices (plus exchange rate)  But large deviations from long-run equilibrium prices because of agricultural supply shocks and expectations  Food price inflation (2004-2007) was mainly triggered by global food price developments  Little evidence for “structural” change story  Inter-seasonal speculation due to news probably explains 2008 cereal price increases (‘similar’ episodes in 1980/81, 1983/84, 1990/91, etc. (see Osborne, 2004)  Domestic non-food prices adjust to changes in world producer prices (plus exchange rate)  Money supply not the main driver of inflation 14
  • 27. Interpretation of findings:  Monetary policy was ‘accommodating’  Large excess reserve ratios in banking system severs link to monetary policy instruments. NBE had little control of money supply (recurred to credit ceilings in 2009)  Exchange rate policy matters for inflation  The world food price transmission mechanism is not fully understood  Weak private and financial sectors  Restrictions on regional commodity trade and access to foreign currency,  But there is ‘informal’ cross-border trade  Donors and government imports do some of the arbitrage  Wholesale market dominated by few companies,  Is there a role for price information without much trade? 15
  • 28. Main findings: Food price transmission  The world food price transmission mechanisms is not fully understood  Weak private and financial sectors  Restrictions on regional commodity trade and access to foreign currency,  But there is some cross-border trade  Donors and government imports do some of the arbitrage  Is there a role for price information without much trade? 16

  • 32. 1. Background and Motivation Data show enormous increases in Ethiopia's grain production over the past decade or more. Production of Ethiopia's most important cereal grains wheat, maize, sorghum, millet, barley, and te more than doubled between 1998 and 2009. Using 3-year averages, 72% increase between 1998-2000 and 2007-09. Important to understand recent trends in yield and to make sense, where possible, of the Ethiopian experience. Part of a broader study looking at crop yield levels and growth in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. D. Gollin (Williams College ) Ethiopia Yield Study Growth Week 2011 3 / 26
  • 33. A Green Revolution? From 1999 to 2009, grain yields for the six main cereal crops combined grew at an annual average growth rate of 3.89%. Area harvested also grew, at a rate of 2.31% annually. Together, this resulted in an annual average increase in grain production of 6.29%, sustained over a decade. Compare this with India's Green Revolution experience: in the peak 10-year period, grain production grew at an annual average rate of 4.15% (1965 to 1975). D. Gollin (Williams College ) Ethiopia Yield Study Growth Week 2011 4 / 26
  • 34. 2. Methodology and Approach No new primary data. Review data on output, yield. Look at evidence on inputs. Consider data on trade, prices, etc. Interpret results. Identify specic targets for further data collection. D. Gollin (Williams College ) Ethiopia Yield Study Growth Week 2011 5 / 26
  • 35. Comparisons Compare Ethiopia with Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania both in levels and growth rates. Compare Ethiopia's experience in cereals with evidence from other crops and commodities. Compare recent period with longer time trends. Compare Ethiopia's experience with original Green Revolution in India and other countries. D. Gollin (Williams College ) Ethiopia Yield Study Growth Week 2011 6 / 26
  • 36. 3. Production, Area, and Yield Production is rising rapidly in Ethiopia; how do these changes compare to other countries? First, consider cereals...

  • 37. Grain production in Ethiopia Ethiopia's production of cereal grains is rising rapidly. The data suggest that Ethiopia's total cereal production has risen from 25% of the region's total in the early 1990s to over 40% in recent years. This dierential success is striking. Is this coming at the expense of other crops? Not at the expense of root crops, beans, coee and sugar, all of which are continuing to grow in Ethiopia. D. Gollin (Williams College ) Ethiopia Yield Study Growth Week 2011 8 / 26
  • 38. Sources of Growth Production of almost all crops appears to be growing rapidly. With few exceptions, growth is faster than in neighboring countries. Is this a Green Revolution? What are the sources of growth? Area Labor Fertilizer Irrigation Other inputs D. Gollin (Williams College ) Ethiopia Yield Study Growth Week 2011 9 / 26
  • 39. Growth in Cropped Area Area harvested is growing rapidly for most major crops. The total area harvested to these crops has increased at 4.2% annually for the past 15 years. Ethiopia's growth in area harvested, 1993-2008 Crop Area Growth Crop Area Growth Beans 7.69% Sorghum 5.24% Coee 2.42% Sugarcane 3.01% Maize 2.57% Sweet Potato 9.21% Millet 3.66% Wheat 5.84% Potato 2.28% D.

  • 42. 4. Prices Agricultural price data are dicult to interpret. Nominal prices of dierent commodities track together. Prices are in local currency units; dicult to make comparisons across countries. Relationship of prices to production increases is in any event ambiguous; shift in supply vs. movement along the supply curve. D. Gollin (Williams College ) Ethiopia Yield Study Growth Week 2011 13 / 26
  • 43. Relative Price Comparisons Analyze relative prices in Ethiopia and Kenya. Consider local prices of food crops (partly determined on domestic markets) relative to local price of coee (largely determined on world market). See how these relative prices move over time within the two countries and how the relationship between the relative prices changes with production levels in the two countries. In general, when Ethiopia's production rises relative to Kenya's, we would expect relative prices of these commodities to fall relative to Kenyan prices. D.

  • 48. Prices A Summary It does not appear that prices are falling to the extent that we might expect if production is growing at the current rate, and if domestic markets are (as we think) poorly integrated with world markets. Not conclusive evidence, but these data challenge our thinking with respect to reported production increases: They are collected independently from production data. Should incorporate all the forces on the supply side. Prices are intrinsically important; directly related to the welfare of urban consumers. D. Gollin (Williams College ) Ethiopia Yield Study Growth Week 2011 19 / 26
  • 49. 5. Comparisons with India's Green Revolution Useful to compare Ethiopia's experience with that of India in 1965-75. How close are the parallels? In what ways do the data from Ethiopia mirror those from Green Revolution India, and in what ways do the data dier? D. Gollin (Williams College ) Ethiopia Yield Study Growth Week 2011 20 / 26
  • 50. Breadth and Depth of the Green Revolution Ethiopia's experience involves a much broader increase in crop productivity: India's Green Revolution was initially conned to two crops: wheat and rice. Some (smaller) productivity gains arrived later in maize, sorghum, and millet. Ethiopia has seen far larger increases in area harvested. India saw limited growth in the total area planted to cereals, with only 0.86% average annual growth in cereals from 1965-75. Rapid increases in wheat area (4.56% annual growth) and maize (1.79% from a small base). Sorghum and millet actually declined in area, at annual growth rates of -1.51% and -0.27% respectively; crowded out by productivity gains in the other grains. Cereals collectively displaced other crops; negative growth in area planted to other crops. D. Gollin (Williams College ) Ethiopia Yield Study Growth Week 2011 21 / 26
  • 51. Input Intensication India's Green Revolution was heavily dependent on input intensication. Nitrogen fertilizer use: 3.5 kg/ha in 1965 16.4 kg/ha in 1975 Tractors: 48,000 in 1965 168,000 in 1975 Agricultural labor use 480 million in 1964/65 599 million in 1974/75 D. Gollin (Williams College ) Ethiopia Yield Study Growth Week 2011 22 / 26
  • 52. Input Intensication, cont. Irrigation 26.5 million ha in 1965 (16.3% of cultivated area) 33.7 million ha in 1975 (20.1% of cultivated area) Improved seeds Essentially zero in 1965 By 1975, semi-dwarf varieties on 75% of wheat area and 27% of rice area. D. Gollin (Williams College ) Ethiopia Yield Study Growth Week 2011 23 / 26
  • 53. India's Neighbors India's Green Revolution was part of a well-documented regional techological revolution. Rice production in India's neighbors Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka rose at an average annual rate of 2.1% from 1965-75, and wheat production in those countries grew at a rate of 6.9%. The Southeast Asian region as a whole saw a 3.1% average annual increase in rice production during this period as well. In short, India's Green Revolution was widely shared and came from a well-understood mechanism. Ethiopia's experience is not typical of any of its neighbors. D. Gollin (Williams College ) Ethiopia Yield Study Growth Week 2011 24 / 26
  • 54. 6. Further Questions Are the data in fact reliable? Sampling issues are complicated, because patterns of population and production change over time. With urban growth, area sampling frameworks can easily overweight intensive production that is close to cities. Many other possibilities for sampling error and misreporting. D. Gollin (Williams College ) Ethiopia Yield Study Growth Week 2011 25 / 26
  • 55. Does it matter? Very important not to make policy decisions based on misunderstanding of agricultural output levels and trends. Can lead to complacency about agricultural sector. Can lead to dangerous policy decisions; e.g., if grain is thought to be abundant, then governments might encourage using it for animal feed to the detriment of the poor. Crucially important to reconcile the agricultural statistics with information coming from other sources D. Gollin (Williams College ) Ethiopia Yield Study Growth Week 2011 26 / 26
  • 56. Adoption of Seed and Fertiliser in Ethiopia 1999-2009
  • 57. Adoption of fertiliser and improved seeds key to increased land productivity  However, the adoption and diffusion of such technologies has been slow  Many potential reasons
  • 58. Improved seed use is 5% of cropped area (cereals) AND ONLY SLOW CHANGE SINCE  For maize in particular, higher at 20% (fourfold increase since 97/98)  Fertiliser is 39% of cropped area (cereals) – a rise from 32% in 97/98  In this paper – trying to understand role of learning and extension in adoption over time
  • 59. Constraints on supply/distribution? - especially relevant for seed in Ethiopia but not fertiliser  Returns to adoption? (inputs expensive, costly credit, returns are heterogenous and uncertain) (Suri/Dercon) - plausible  Imperfect information uncertainty about return on own land – need to learn (Udry Conley)  We concentrate on the last
  • 60. Ethiopian Rural Household Survey, as it is a longitudinal data set 1994-2009  15 villages, so not nationally representative for levels of adoption or yield  But villages in 4 main regions and representing diversity of most of rural Ethiopia, so helpful in study of processes of change and its determinants  A longitudinal study can allow causal analysis of these changes
  • 61. Cereal yield grew by 21% (wheat by 62%, maize by 19% and barley by 11%) since 99 Modern input use higher in this sample than in national average  14% of cereal crop area cultivated with improved seeds  *Caution: Improved seed is bought/exchanged – so unclear if all seed use is “improved”
  • 62.
  • 63.
  • 64.
  • 65. Seed: better educated, no real differences in wealth  Fertiliser: better educated, wealthier, more and better land  Both: More extension visits in 99  Key difference: adopters are more likely to have neighbours who are adopters too
  • 66. Spatial neighbours based on a distance of 1 km from the household.  Instrument for the average neighbour's decision to adopt : the non-overlapping sets of neighbours - or neighbours of neighbours  Affect the decisions of spatial neighbours directly - but not the household's own decision  Robust to variations and distance – and the use of self-reported neighbours
  • 67. An increase of one standard deviation in the average neighbours' adoption raises the probability of own adoption by about 11% points in 1999 and 12% points in 2009  Average adoption rates range from 0.18- 0.23, so this is large - more than double current levels.
  • 68.
  • 69. An increase of 1 sd in visits – ie about 1.3 visits in 1999 raises the probability of adoption by 3.7% points – (Interpretation: SMALL BUT IMPORTANT!)  This falls to 1.3% in 2004 and to 2.9% points by 2009 (here, 1 sd increase is 10 visits)  The increased probability of adoption is about 1/10th the effect in 1999 (VERY SMALL IMPACT)  (Effects confirmed by controlling for unobserved household characteristics/unobserved targeting of farmers)  Consistent with a reasonable (but not high) return to extension early on, but close to zero return later on
  • 70. The cross-section controls for village-level effects – like distance to nearest extension office  But suppose that extension was targeted at the “better” farmers – that there are unobserved characteristics at the household level - then cross-section will overstate the effect  So also do this in changes in adoption – removes household specific characteristics that do not change  Also check: is effect the same in each year?  And does learning occur via current neighbours’ adoption and extension or via past adoption by them?
  • 71.
  • 72.
  • 73. A one standard deviation increase in the average fertiliser adoption of neighbours raises own probabilities of adoption of fertiliser by 19%.  The effects are similar in both 1999 and 2009  A substantial effect given that adoption is already about 62% in the survey areas.
  • 74.
  • 75. Seed: The speed of diffusion through learning from others increases until local diffusion levels of 70 percent have been reached  Fertiliser: these benefits from learning appear to tail off at about 30 percent diffusion levels.  In both cases: an increase by 10% points in diffusion in the neighbourhood increases the probability of adopting by about 5% points at current levels of diffusion
  • 76. In comparison to effect of neighbours, the impact of extension is :  Large and significant in 1999  Collapses by 2009 (similar to effect of extension on seed adoption)  Potentially explained by the targeting of farmers more likely to adopt fertiliser in 1999  True “value-added” of extension might be rather low  However, potential impact on other practices useful for yield growth not examined here
  • 77.
  • 78.
  • 79. We examine improved seed that is bought/exchanged  Potentially, supply constraints might mean sharing of seed more important  Also, farmers report facing changing land fertility – 58% in 1999 said fertility was decreasing – making future returns uncertain with new technology  So yes, likely to be learning but..  Learning from others is a powerful tool, but is not amenable to rapid change through policy (such as via extension), as it reflects steady but careful learning from the experiences of others.
  • 80. Clear evidence that adoption occurs in neigbhourhoods with learning from each other a plausible explanation  Stable return to learning from others – remarkably stable  Extension not terribly effective for adoption – except at start in 1999  Striking; maybe not surprising given the evidence from green revolution (once started, spread fast and not via extension)

  • 82.
  • 83. New wheat and rice varieties adopted rapidly where clear evidence of technical economic superiority  Neither farm size nor tenure mattered in adoption  In Indian Punjab proportion of area planted rose from 3 in 66/67 to 66% by 69/70  Adoption in Philippines between 60-95% in 4 years  Largest increments came in relatively arid areas with access to irrigation  But where the seed needed to be adapted for specific environments, the rate of diffusion was much slower  Extension services generally low impact – with influence only in initial take up
