Zero yield

Article Abstract:

Indian Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda stated that India rejected the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty in speech on August 15, 1996. India fears both Pakistan and China, neighboring countries that pose a potential nuclear threat. Generally, India's stance is viewed favorably by Indians, although a group of government officials and intellectuals has urged the Indian government to reconsider. India's stance is unlikely to affect Indian-U.S. relations, but the collapse of the Test Ban Treaty could lead to a resumption of nuclear testing.

Election cycles

Article Abstract:

Investors who base their financial decisions partly on traditional political forecasts should beware, because the nature of party politics in many countries and especially in Europe has changed since the collapse of communism. Many parties have moved into the middle ground, making it harder to predict voters' choices. Comparison of the aftermath in financial terms of the British, Italian and Thai elections in 1992 shows how political forces can have unpredictable effects on financial markets.

Seeds of worry

Article Abstract:

Grain companies that could greatly boost the yields of China's crops have so far avoided the country because its lack of protections for intellectual property would make their product easy to steal. China is the world's No 2 grain producer, but the leader, the US, has seen its yields quintuple since 1926, while China has not. Beijing hopes to soon offer legal protections the seed companies will find adequate, but enforcement may remain a problem.
