Item Transparency As A Way Of Attaining Quality, Safety And Optimal Food Purchases(Sumy State University, 2020) Dove, M.; Balasubramanian, A.; Narayanan, B.G.The present extensive literature analysis and interview study, with consumers living in Washington state, USA, set out to explore consumers’ perceptions of quality, safety, and transparency and see how these influence shopping preferences. Literature review included global studies which looked at food transparency, safety, quality, food certifications and environmental concerns. The findings indicate that organic foods are often linked to health, nutrition, environmental concerns as well as presence of children, and quality is measured by assessing freshness, taste, nutrition and traceability.Item International trade policies and sustainability of nano-textiles(Sumy State University, 2017) Narayanan, B.G.; Kadasala, N.R.; Achari, N.L.V.; Sahoo, S.While a considerable part of developments in the field of industrial and technical textiles involves nanomaterials, there are increasing challenges faced across the world in their acceptability and sustainability. Their potential adverse impact has been documented in the scientific literature. European Commission and USEPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) have already come up with regulations that govern these materials. In future, therefore, we can expect trade sanctions by these countries on exports of nano-textiles from countries like India. In this paper, we shall discuss the technical literature that points towards potential hazards of nano-textiles and the policy aspects currently in place. Further, we employ a widely used global economic (Computable General Equilibrium) model (GTAP – Global Trade Analysis Project) to evaluate the economic and business impact of such sanctions quantitatively, in a stochastic and comparative setting.
