    The high profile of infrastructure and access to related services in the communiqués of the World Bank (WB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) at their annual meetings of 2014 underscores the importance of infrastructure development worldwide. And nowhere is the lack of adequate infrastructure more crucial and potentially transformational than in Sub-Saharan Africa. A gap of around US$ 31 billion1 exists per year that must be bridged if Africa's infrastructure needs are to be met. Taking into account the resources currently available for infrastructure development to African governments the need for innovative project financing schemes becomes quite apparent. One area of possible innovation is the use of Islamic finance or shariacompliant financing for infrastructure development. Research on this type of financing has been conducted predominantly in Islamic countries and in developed countries. The purpose of this paper therefore is to explore from a non-Islamic developing country's perspective the prospects of using Islamic finance for infrastructure development. It aims to identify the conditions necessary in terms of an analysis current practice, gauge the understanding of Kenyan stakeholders as well as identify possible barriers that may be impeding Islamic infrastructure financing in Kenya. Three case studies of infrastructure projects drawn from Africa that have utilised Islamic financing mechanisms are conducted in order to answer research question one. Two cycles of a Delphi study were also conducted where interviews and questionnaires are used to gather the views and opinions of an expert panel to answer question two and three. This paper presents an overview of both conventional and Islamic project financing in infrastructure development followed by the presentation and discussion of the research findings. Trends to watch and policy recommendation aimed at facilitating the implementation of Islamic project financing in Kenya infrastructure development are also discussed. It is expected that the results of this research will facilitate the harnessing of Islamic financial resources in the development of infrastructure projects not only in Kenya but in Sub Saharan Africa as well.

    This study investigates the energy efficiency (EE) gap, referring to private agents who are not making seemingly profitable investments to reduce energy use. We deploy a questionnaire among firms in the Netherlands in which we ask them about investment behavior and barriers to investing in EE. A set of 16 barriers is constructed based on the literature. We find that most firms (70%) have made EE investments in the past five years, and that the median firm has saved 10% of its energy use. The remaining profitable EE investment opportunities still leave room for another 15% of energy savings at the median firm. We find that uncertainty about future policies ranks as the leading barrier to EE investments, followed by lock-ins in current equipment, and energy price uncertainty. Especially energy-intensive firms indicate the importance of policy uncertainty. Past policies have not been successful in addressing these barriers. Additionally, we find that a firm's network can be an important channel for obtaining EE investment knowledge.

    Im Pflanzenbau stellt die Bewässerung eine der wirksamsten Maßnahmen dar, um die Ertragsverluste infolge von Trockenheits- und Dürreereignissen zu vermeiden oder zu minimieren. Durch ein begrenztes Wasserdargebot besteht die Herausforderung, die Wasserverfügbarkeit für die Bewässerung zu erhöhen, ohne die Interessenkonflikte mit anderen wassernutzenden Sektoren zu verschärfen. Im Kontext des sich ändernden Niederschlagsmusters können in Deutschland Wasserspeicherbecken einen Teil der Lösung für die landwirtschaftlichen Betriebe darstellen. Der Kerngedanke ist es, Wasserspeicherbecken in den Herbst- und Wintermonaten entweder bei zunehmenden Dauerregen- oder Starkregenereignissen bzw. mit Entnahmen aus Oberflächengewässern bei hohem Abfluss zu füllen, und das gespeicherte Wasser bei Trockenheit für die Bewässerung zu nutzen. Neben der Steigerung des Wasserdargebots können durch diese technische Lösung die Zuverlässigkeit der Wasserverfügbarkeit für Betriebe verbessert sowie die Interessenkonflikte um die Nutzung von Grund- und Oberflächenwasser entschärft werden. Dieses Working Paper wurde auf der Grundlage einer ausführlichen Literaturrecherche mit dem Ziel erstellt, die Potenziale verschiedener technischer Wasserspeicher und Bewässerungsansätze und ihrer Umsetzbarkeit im Bereich landwirtschaftliches Wassermanagement zu ermitteln und eine Orientierung für das Verbundprojekt LAWAMAD – Landwirtschaftliches Wassermanagement in Deutschland zu geben. Im ersten Schritt geben wir einen ausführlichen Überblick über mögliche technische Optionen der Wasserspeicherung sowie über die Kriterien, welche bei ihrer Auswahl eine Rolle spielen. Anschließend wird die Umsetzbarkeit dieser Optionen für die deutsche Landwirtschaft bewertet, wobei sich die vier Optionen Speicherbecken, Regenrückhaltebecken, Versickerungsanlagen und Talsperren als geeignet erweisen. Die Auswahl von Wasserspeicherungsoption sowie die Entscheidung bzgl. ihrer technischen Ausführung stehen unter anderem im Zusammenhang mit vorhandenen oder geplanten Bewässerungsverfahren sowie mit den betrieblichen Strategien zur Bewässerungsoptimierung. Entsprechend bieten wir im zweiten Schritt eine Übersicht über die verfügbaren Bewässerungsverfahren und ihrer Vor- und Nachteile sowie über die Chancen und Risiken der Bewässerung in Deutschland aus agronomischer und wirtschaftlicher Perspektive. Im letzten Schritt unserer Literaturrecherche geben wir den aktuellen Stand der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion zu den Barrieren für die betrieblichen Investitionen in Bewässerungs- und Wasserspeicherungstechnologien aus drei theoretischen Perspektiven wieder. Irrigation is one of the most effective measures to avoid or reduce yield losses caused by droughts. When water resources are limited, the main challenge relates to the issue of increasing water availability for crop production without causing or exacerbating conflicts of interest with other water-consuming sectors. Considering the already observed change of rainfall patterns in Germany, water storage reservoirs could be part of the solution to agricultural producers. Such reservoirs can be filled in autumn or winter months either with surface water run-off in case of persistent or heavy precipitations, or with abstractions from surface waters when water levels and discharges are high. The stored water can then be used for irrigation in case of spring or summer droughts, thus improving water availability and increasing the reliability of water provision for agricultural producers as well as reducing the conflicts of interest regarding groundwater extractions. This working paper presents the results of a comprehensive literature review carried out in order to identify research needs in the field of agricultural water management and to provide orientation for the research project LAWAMAD – Agricultural Water Management in Germany. In the first step the available technical water storage options and the criteria which are of importance when deciding on their implementation are reviewed. Subsequently, the feasibility of these options for German agriculture is being discussed and the four most suitable ones – water storage basin, rainwater retention basin, infiltration facility and dams are identified. The choice of a technical water storage option and the decision about its size and volume depends among other things with the already available or envisioned irrigation infrastructure and farm strategies to optimize irrigation. Respectively, we discuss the existent irrigation methods, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as chances and risks of irrigation from the agronomic and the economic efficiency perspectives. In the final step of our literature review we provide an overview of the current state of scientific discussion on the barriers to investments in irrigation and water storage infrastructure from three theoretical perspectives.

    To our knowledge, this study represents the first comprehensive study of cross-border workers on the Island of Ireland. We estimate that the total number of cross-border workers increased from 12,740 to between 17,827 and 19,282 which represents a growth rate of between 40 and 51 per cent. Cross-border worker flows increased in both directions over the period 2011 to 2021, but the bulk of the growth was due to the expansion in the numbers travelling from Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland for work. After controlling for other factors, Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland cross-border workers incur a wage disadvantage of just under 30% relative to their Northern Ireland to Republic of Ireland counterparts. Female crossborder workers earn approximately 30% less than their male counterparts. Common perceived barriers to cross border working included exchange rate risk, tax return requirements, accessing social welfare benefits, the cost of commuting and difficulties accessing financial products such as mortgages.
