Bolivia, and other Andean countries. Additional work will be pursued in the coming year. Because of the jointness of output-wool and sheep meat--government policies directed to benefit textiles have had an impact on overall sheep production. Results from a simulation model of the small ruminant sector in Peru indicate that overvalued exchange rates have encouraged sheep meat imports and required export subsidies or tax credits for textiles. Sheep producer revenues respond better to higher retail meat prices than to higher wool prices. Policies that increase meat prices generally r-sult in lower wool prices. A devaluation of the exchange rate appears as the most effective way to increase revenues for producers. Peru Tech Pack The English and Spanish versions of the Peru Techpack have been published and distributed. Domingo Martinez contributed one chapter on the economics of livestock research and development, Other Activities Enrique Ospina and Domingo Martinez participated in the PAC meeting in Lima in January,1990. Decisions were made at this meeting on the techpack, the Andean Network, and planning for the phase-out. Domingo Martinez participated in the research council for sheep and cameloids to provide support to INIAA's livestock research department, including the elaboration of research plans. Martinez also provided support to the Research Center of the Department of Economics and Planning (CIDEP) of the Universidad The vehicle and one Nacional Agraria (UNA). of the microcomputers used by the project were transferred to UNA to help the department in its research programs. Flor Robles, a student at UNA, received initial support to work on her thesis on economics of livestock improvement. 152 Martinez attended the Farming Systems Symposium at Michigan State University with partial support from SR-CRSP. Several activities took place in preparation for the site visit to Bolivia for the agropastoral component September, 1990. These activities include developing a list of personal, institutional, and donor contacts and conducting an extensive survey of the most recent reports on economic performance of agriculture in the region. Training Progress Corinne Valdivia completed a Ph.D. in Agricultural Economics at the University of Missouri in August, 1990. Dissertation itle: Impact of Government Policies on the Small Ruminant Sector of Peru. Domingo Martinez returned to the University of Missouri in September, 1990, to finish his dissertation, after having spent most part of the year on leave in Peru. He is expected to finish all degree requirements around January 1991. Publications Martinez, Domingo and Mercedes Barrera. 1989. "Uso del Trabajo Familiar en Comuninades Agropastoriles Andinas."
