The future of the Aegean Sea demersal fishery is projected under four climatic and socio-political scenarios, namely: “World Markets“, “Global Sustainability”, “National Enterprise” and “Local Stewardship”. The scenarios combine two IPCC climatic futures (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) with four socio-political systems that foresee changes in economic, technol...

Presentation
Full-text available
In this study, a comparative analysis is performed between family-run and business-oriented fisheries on their ability to provide societal value. At the beginning, the various Greek fleet segments are allocated in these two groups by using a novel approach based on employment variables. Then, the societal value of both groups is assessed by using t...

Building on the pioneering work of Getz & Brown (2006) and the subsequent paper of Terziyska (2017), the present study proposes a comprehensive ‘resilience benchmarking framework’ for wine tourism destinations.
Article
Full-text available
Small-scale fisheries account for 94% of the Greek fishing fleet. The sector consists mainly of family-owned vessels and highly depends on family labor. While the role of women as crew members is of particular interest, there is little evidence of their actual employment status, labor situation, and contribution in the fishing activity. This paper...
Article
Full-text available
This study examines the evolution of the regional per capita income from the perspective of a policymaker at the national level. To do that, it utilizes stochastic dominance analysis by including a utility function that expresses the “regional inequalities aversion” level of the policymaker. In this way, the analysis indicates how the policymakers...

Resilience has emerged as a transdisciplinary concept in scientific research, being applied in a wide range of scientific disciplines. This study explores Organizational Resilience of the tourism hosting wineries. More specifically, it estimates Organizational Resilience scores of tourism hosting wineries using a composite index approach. Utilizing...

Simple Summary: Agriculture and particularly livestock farming is associated with the production of certain gases that contribute to global warming, commonly referred to as greenhouse gases. These gases are the result of the use of machinery and other inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides or are associated with the digestion process of animals....
Conference Paper
Wine tourism has emerged as a mutually beneficial opportunity for both wineries-especially the small-size ones- and wine regions. A critical success factor in this respect concerns the delivery of an integrated tourism experience to the visitor. Nevertheless, in many instances, actors engaged in wine tourism activities do not seem to have realized...
Presentation
Full-text available
Traditionally, fishing activity is dominated by men, as the term “fisherman” implies. However, women are largely engaged in fishing activity, especially in small-scale fisheries. Nevertheless, their contribution is frequently ignored and continue to be under-acknowledged in marine and fisheries management as well as in policy design [1–3]. Utilizi...
Article
Full-text available
One of the main ecological challenges that agricultural and especially livestock production systems face is the adoption of management practices that encourage the mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, while maintaining their production level. According to the relevant literature, the potential for GHG reduction lies mainly in greater effic...
Article
Full-text available
This study explores the technical and scale efficiency of two types of Greek fishing vessels, small-scale vessels and bottom trawlers, using a bias-corrected input-oriented Data Envelopment Analysis model. Moreover, the associations between efficiency scores and vessel’s and skipper’s characteristics are also explored. The results indicate that sma...
Article
Full-text available
During the last decade, an encouraging environment for the restructuring and modernization of the agricultural sector has formed in Greece. The diversification into higher-value crops can be a promising option for small and average-sized farms, particularly during the current economic crisis. One of the most promising alternative crops that have be...

In the E uropean U nion ( EU ), homogenous inflation forces are expected to prevail because of increased economic integration, especially after the creation of a single currency area. This expectation is directly related to the issue of inflation convergence, which has gained increasing attention by both academics and policy makers in E urope. Alth...

Organic farming has experienced a vast increase within the EU. Especially in Greece, the rapid growth of the organic sector, since the early '90s, was accompanied by the introduction of various organic crops. Among them, organic fruit crops have been gradually introduced, as farmers have realised the promising growth of the demand for organic fruit...
Article
Full-text available
Organic farming has grown rapidly in the European Union (EU) due to a rising demand for high-quality food, increased environmental concerns and market developments that led to the implementation of an organic policy and the creation of a positive institutional framework.

It is widely recognized that inflation as a monetary phenomenon, is determined by money supply changes. In the short-run, however, several factors may lead to inflation rate differentials, among different regions in the same country or different countries in a monetary union. This paper, borrowing concepts and developments from the recent growth li...

It is widely recognized that inflation as a monetary phenomenon is determined by money supply changes. In the short run, however, several factors may lead to inflation rate differentials among different regions in the same country or among different countries in a monetary union. This paper examines the mean reversion attitude of food price inflati...

Full-text available
Traditionally, the analysis of regional economic convergence is based on the notions of β-convergence and σ-convergence. However, both of these approaches have several drawbacks and limitations. To overcome these difficulties, we apply a more recent, non-parametric approach, which differs from the other non parametric kernel estimator approaches. T...
Article
Full-text available
Concepts and developments in the literature of economic growth and convergence have recently been adopted and used in the study of inflation rate convergence. This paper examines initially the existence of β-convergence, as mean reversion, of food price inflation rates in the European Union, using the stochastic convergence approach of panel data u...
Article
Full-text available
The adoption of organic agriculture or livestock involves risk and uncertainty, and to overcome this, well designed schemes are required. Are the current support measures attractive for farmers who wish to convert to organic? At first, this study tries to assess the optimal investment trigger for a new comer into organic dairy sheep farming system...
Article
Full-text available
Organic farming has experienced a vast increase within the EU, despite the fact that it implies greater risk and uncertainty than that of conventional farming. This is the result of the increased environmental concern and the rising demand for quality food, which led to the implementation of the organic policy scheme. Nevertheless, the production o...
