Thesis (M.A.)--Boston University / The purpose undertaken in this study was to show that there was a downward trend in the production and exports of Argentine agricultural commodities during the years 946-51, which may be easily noted from the statistics in Table VIII (see page ). Table XIII (see page ), a comparison of the pre-war exports (1935-39) of agricultural commodities with those pertaining during 1946-51 will show the obvious downward trend in grain exports. Under normal pre-war conditions, when the government intervention meant only aid to the farmer--and not the control of agricultural economy--such a downward trend would be highly doubtful, if not impossible. Even when the depths of the Great Depression were felt, agricultural production in pre-war years showed a definite upward trend over the years. But taking into consideration the post-war financial conditions of Argentine, as well as the policies of the government operative since 1946, the results of the study quite clearly demonstrate that there was a downward trend in the production and exports of farm products in Argentina from 1946-51.

Yes / The literature on the imperativeness of government support for firm survival since the onset of COVID-19 is vast, but scholars have scarcely considered the impact of such assistance on managers' time, nor the extent to which support measures induce resilience and export activity. Accordingly, this study assesses the impact of government support on (1) bureaucracy and (2) resilience using data from 535 Moroccan SMEs. It further evaluates the influence of resilience on direct versus indirect exports, and espouses the institutional voids, resource-based and strategy-creation view to explain the associations through a contingency lens. The results demonstrate that (1) government support increases bureaucracy which, (2) surprisingly triggers and enhances resilience. Furthermore, (3) resilience has a positive impact on direct exports but (4) adversely affects indirect exports. Theoretically, the findings acquiesce extant calls for measurement specificity in export performance. Practically, stakeholders' attention is drawn to the value of managers' time well spent.
