Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) on Environmental Performance among tea processing firms in Kericho County. The study adopted a correlation study design. Data was collected from all the 32 tea processing firms in the County and analyzed using SPSS. Multiple regression model was developed and used to establish the effect of GSCM on Environmental Performance. ANOVA test was used to determine the statistical significance of the relationship between the variables. The results were presented using tables. The study established that GSCM has positive effect on environmental performance. The study therefore recommends that managements of tea processing firms and other manufacturing firms adopt GSCM practices in their supply chain operations. The study suggests that further studies should be conducted in processing firms other than tea processing firms. Further studies should also be conducted to relate GSCM with individual aspects of performance such as Economic, Environmental and Social Performance.Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) on Environmental Performance among tea processing firms in Kericho County.

Abstract: In this research paper, I determine equilibrium real exchange rate of Algerian Dinar (DZD) in order to see the influence of fundamental factors toward Algerian Dinar exchange rate, and to understand the appropriate level or sustainability long term trend. Furthermore, I figure out the misalignment for real exchange rate of Algerian dinar. The period of this research paper covers the post crisis era from 1980 to 2009 (quarterly). Using co-integrating regression, I find that variables OIL, GC, LQ, TR, NCF, CF, OPEN and TT have significant influence to real exchange rate in the long run. Misalignment episode gives us seven patterns of situation during this period which are undervaluation during the periods: 1981Q1-1984Q2, 1988Q1-1992Q4, 1994Q2-1996Q4, and 2002Q3-2008Q2; and overvaluation during the periods: 1984Q3-1987Q4, 1993Q1-1994Q1, and 1997Q1-2002Q2.Abstract: In this research paper, I determine equilibrium real exchange rate of Algerian Dinar (DZD) in order to see the influence of fundamental factors toward Algerian Dinar exchange rate, and to understand the appropriate level or sustainability long term trend.
