    Rural-Urban Migration in Africa: Theory, Policy and Research Implications
    (SAGE Publishing, 1974) Byerlee, Derek
    It is the aim of this paper to examine from a theoretical standpoint the process of rural-urban migration in Africa and its role in economic development with a view toward proposing a research agenda to address key policy issues. We do this in three stages. First the large body of theoretical and empirical knowledge of the rural-urban migration process in Africa is briefly reviewed emphasising those characteristics which are most important in Africa and the deficiencies in our present understanding of rural-urban migration. Second this knowledge is synthesized into a theoretical framework for analyzing rural-urban migration with emphasis on economic variables. This framework is then used to explore some of the policy implications of present-day rural-urban migration for economic development in Africa. Finally priority areas for future migration research are discussed with particular reference to improve theory improved methodology and the integration of migration research and policy analysis.

    A Macro‐Economic Model for Agricultural Sector Analysis
    (Wiley, 1974-08-01) Byerlee, Derek
    Agricultural sector analyses for purposes of agricultural policy evaluation and planning in developing countries are generally conducted in a partial equilibrium framework without regard to agricultural‐nonagricultural interactions. A relatively simple simulation model built on an input‐output framework is developed which, in combination with an agricultural sector analysis, enables interactions in the product markets and labor market to be considered. The model is illustrated through linkage with an agricultural simulation model to evaluate alternative agricultural policies in Nigeria. The model also has potential for use with other formal and informal sector analysis techniques.

    Colors, geometric forms, art, and mathematics
    (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 1967-10-01) Hillman, Thomas P.
    With the rising popularity of “pop” art, “op” art. and stunning geometric designs in femi nine fashions, the author is reminded how easily art and mathematics can be closely related, especially in the upper elementa ry school or junior high school classrooms. For students who have been convinced that mathematics is always associated with calculations or manipulations (or even hallucinations!), the following suggestions can arouse new interest in mathematics—and perhaps reestablish vigorous efforts when regular mathematical topics are pursued again. These lessons arc introductory art lessons that have ma thematical overtones, and it is im portant that the student not become too burdened with the mathematical ideas at the expense of losing interest in art. The concepts in both subject areas are simple and basic. and each student is given an opportunity to discover relationships for himself—in art as well as in mathematics.

    Nigerian Graduate Students in the United States
    (Taylor & Francis, 1969) Ohuche, R. Ogbonna
    This study was written to test the null hypothesis that, among Nigerian graduate students enrolled in institutions of higher education in the United States, there was no difference between the academic achievement of those who received their baccalaureate degree in the United States and those who earned their first degree elsewhere. A sample of the 456 Nigerian graduate students was contacted through a questionnaire. Sixty-five of the ninety-two students in the sample returned a properly completed questionnaire on their academic performance here and at home. A covariance study revealed no evidence on which to reject the null hypothesis. It was concluded that, for economic reasons, Nigeria should discontinue its policy of awarding scholarships for undergraduate study in the United States except for curricula not available in Nigerian universities.
