“…Positioning luminescent materials inside a cavity is a technique used also in other applications, like e.g.,, laser technologies [38]. Other methods of enhancing the intensity, like e.g., quantum dots [39] are beyond the scope of this work and are only mentioned here for reference.…”

Abstract:We review several examples of how spectrally-selective photonic structures may be used to improve solar cell systems. Firstly, we introduce different spectrally-selective structures that are based on interference effects. Examples shown include Rugate filter, edge filter and 3D photonic crystals such as artificial opals. In the second part, we discuss several examples of photovoltaic (PV) concepts that utilize spectral selectivity such as fluorescence collectors, upconversion systems, spectrum splitting concepts and the intermediate reflector concept. The potential of spectrally selective filters in the context of solar cells is discussed.

“…Rather, the key role of the growth-promoting effects of 'getting markets right under the market reforms program were significant. Lifshitz et al (2006) have argued that the institutional changes have in no doubt shown to have accelerated the rate of development of the Chinese agricultural sector. McMillan, Whalley, and Zhu (1989) attribute about 78% of the farm productivity gains between 1978 and 1984 to changes in the incentive system following the introduction of the household responsibility system and that the remaining 22% of the gains came from the market reforms which gave higher prices to producers.…”

“…The accession to the WTO in 2001 imposed further reforms to the Chinese economy in general and the agriculture sector in particular. China's WTO agreement continue to have some impact due to commitments to reduce export subsidies (Huang et al, 2007;Lifshitz et al, 2006).…”

“…Though the initial reforms were designed to correct the shortcomings of the collective farming system, they continuously evolved to accommodate emerging challenges facing the economy. Lifshitz et al (2006) have evaluated the agricultural policy reforms over a two decade period and have identified five main policy regimes. After successfully replacing the collective farming system with the Household Responsibility System (HRS) in 1979, further reforms (the second reform period, [1985][1986][1987][1988][1989], were undertaken to provide incentives for farmers to boost production.…”

“…They attributed allocative inefficiency experienced in 1980s and 1990s to grain self-sufficiency policies and incomplete market reforms pursued by government at the time. A study by Lifshitz et al (2006) undertake an identification and measurement of the composition of productivity development in the Chinese farming sector in the 1980s and 1990s reform periods. The study revealed that ISSN 2166-0379 2017 China's second reform in the period 1985-1989 witnessed the most rapid change in productivity growth.…”

Since the 2008 global financial crisis, many African governments are now turning to China for the much needed loans and technical expertise to undertake developmental projects. Meanwhile China and Africa exhibited similar socio-economic conditions some three decades ago; high poverty rates and agrarian dominated economies with very low per capita incomes. However, in the past few years, even as Africa remains at the bottom of global economic rankings, China is progressively emerging as the world’s economic powerhouse. This paper examines the literature on how China’s rural reforms program facilitated the country’s fast economic transformation. The reforms process brought about institutional reforms that brought immense changes in the agriculture sector. The institutional reforms led to an increase in public investment in the area of R & D, irrigation, rural education, road, and electricity, which contributed to the growth in agricultural productivity and rural poverty reduction. It is these interventions brought in by the reforms that resulted in the miracle growth experienced by China.
