    THE EFFECTS OF EXCHANGE RATE CHANGES ON TRADE BALANCE IN SUDAN
    (ALNEELAIN UNIVERSITY, 2001-12) AHMED ABD ALLAH IBRAHIM AHMED
    3 Abstract of thesis presented to the Senate of Universiti Putra Malaysia in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy THE EFFECTS OF EXCHANGE RATE CHANGES ON TRADE BALANCE IN SUDAN By AHMED ABD ALLAH IBRAHIM AHMED December 2001 Chairman: Professor Mohammad Bin Yusoff, Ph.D. Faculty: Economics and Management One of the primary economic objectives of most developing countries is to improve their trade balance. Economists have suggested that trade deficit can be reduced through currency devaluation. This study attempts to determine the efiects of devaluation on the trade balance of Sudan and the pass-through effects on Sudan's major export prices by employing Vector Error Conection Model (VECM). The results from the study suggest that the elasticities of import demand with respect to the price ratio of imports relative to domestic price and domestic income are high, while that of the real effective exchange rate is low. The elasticities of export demand with respect to price ratio of exports relative to foreign price, foreign income and real effective exchange rate are high. ln particular, the export demand for cotton and gum arabic are elastic with respect to the exchange rate and the foreign price.

    Resources Utilization in Traditional Rain-Fed Agriculture in Sudan A Case Study of Shiekan Rural Area North Kordofan State
    (ALNEELAIN UNIVERSITY, 2001-04) Abdelle Moneim Hamad Elseed Mohammedd Noor
    Abstract This study is solely on traditional Rain-fedagriculture, taking Shiekan rural area ofNor1hern Kordofan state as a case study . The major theme ofthe present study is to examine the economic rationale of traditional farmers in the utilization ofresources at their disposal and the influence of technical and luunan factors on the decision of farmers in Shiekan rural area . The present study focussed on identifying the production decisions that farmers make; and identity factors which influence these decisions and determine the extend to which decisions change over the agriculture season . The production decisions include the following : (l) crops planted, area planted and allocation ofarea to crops; (2) planting dates for various crops; (3)methods ofplanting, rotations followed and varieties grown; (4) utilization ofinputs other than labor, and labor utilization . Endogenous and Exogenous factors influencing these decisions are carried out mainly to determine the profitability and viability of resources utilization in traditional agriculture and its sustainability . The study adopted descriptive, comparative and an analytical methodological approach to describe, compare and analyze the farming system in the study area . Tabular analysis, labor and land profiles are used to describe the system and provide a better understanding ofthe production process . Representative sample of I00 household farmers was selected and interviewed during the I998/9‘) season . Six mouths ofrcsidenee were devoted to gathering systematic data through questionnaire . The study revealed that, land ownership is still a diflicult problem in the area; the distribution oflandtendsto be distorted in favor ofa minority ofOmda, Shiekh and their relatives . The principal effect of the land tenure system has been increased fragmentation, deterioration and destruction of land . The main crops found to be planted in the area are millct_ groundnuts, sesame and sorghum . Although productivity ofmillet and sesame is declining and productivity of groundnuts and sorghum is increasing, farmers concentrate on the cultivation oi‘ millet and sesame paradoxically . The use of tractor and animal traction have increased cultivated area and productivity but it intensified desertification and reduced land fertility . An important draw-backofthe agricultural system in Shiekan rural area is its neglect oflivestock . Under price liberalization, a poor farmer sells his production early at low price to meet his needs . llence there is no saving to be reinvested in traditional agriculture . To rectify these imbalances in the farming systems the study recommended the following : a) There is a need to improvement in teclmology, flexibility and security in the land tenure system . b) Substitution ofmillet and sesame by the most prolitablc crops of groundnuts and sorghum . c) Research on introduction of new teclmical packages for small farmers should start at the farm level, and work backward to the research stations . d) There must be essential improvements and input which are needed to improve an existing farming situation and to provide them in the form ofintegrated package .

    POVERTY AND INEQUALITY IN SUDAN: AN ANALYSIS OF HOUSEHOLD DATA (2000)
    (ALNEELAIN UNIVERSITY, 2004-08) Ali Elgeilani Fad-Allah Elhaj
    Abstract This study attempted to analyze the trends of poverty and income inequality in Sudan across socio-economic groups and overtime, with special emphasis on a set of interrelated factors that contribute to poverty and affect human capabilities The study examined the following main contentions: Firstly, during the period 1990 '- 2000 poverty and income inequality have increased substantially This period also witnessed the worsening position of the poor. Secondly, a reduction in poverty as well as in its depth and severity is significantly associated with access to social services. Thirdly, economic growth is important in poverty reduction. It is found that, for urban and rural areas the absolute poverty line was SD 928998 and SD. 655356 per household per year with a household size of 7 07 and 7.63 persons respectively. It is also found that, for urban and rural areas, the absolute poverty line was SD. 742410 and SD. 535107 per household per year with per-adult household size of 5.65 and 6 23 persons respectively. The subjective poverty lines based on perceived minmum income for total sample, urban, and rural areas were SD. 6454149, SD. 761781.5 and SD. 5862507 per household per year respectively On the other hand a subjective poverty line based on the perceived adequacy of consumption was estimated at SD. 5902794 per household per year, where average household size was 7 36 persons Therefore, the subjective and objective poverty lines were approximately the same. During the period 1990-2000 all poverty measures have increased at high rates. In 1990, 77.5 percent ofthe households were poor, whereas in 2000 it is found that 88 percent of the total households surveyed fall on or below the poverty line The depth and severity rates of poverty were 60% and 48.4% respectively The incidence, depth and severity indices of poverty varied substantially across regions and across rural and urban areas. Across all regions all rural poverty measures were higher than the urban poverty measures. The policy implication of this result is that poverty alleviation strategy should favor the rural areas and anti-poverty policies should be directed towards the regions with the highest values of all poverty measures. Also it is found that a reduction in poverty as well as in its depth and severity is significantly associated with access to social services The growth elasticity ol‘ poverty is found to be statistically significant but small. Thus, although growth is important in poverty reduction, its role in this respect should not be overestimated One possible explanation to this finding is that poverty in Sudan has reached alarmed proportion and that alleviation of which requires influential pro-poor policies It is found that income inequality has become more severe, where the Gini Coefficient increased from 61% in 1990 to 73 2% in 2000. Also the data revealed that the income inequality has grown more rapidly in urban than in rural areas.
