Food Industry Mergers and Acquisitions Lead to Higher Labor Productivity
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ollinger,   Michael; Nguyen,   Sang V.; Blayney,   Donald P.; Chambers,   William; Nelson,   Kenneth B.
Processing plants in eight major food industries were highly productive before being acquired and they significantly improved their labor productivity afterward, Economic Research Service and U.S. Census Bureau researchers found in their analysis of Census data. The plant-level data on production inputs and costs provided a detailed picture of food-production facilities involved in mergers and acquisitions. The industries are meatpacking, meat processing, poultry slaughtering and processing, cheese making, fluid milk processing, flour milling, feed processing, and oilseed crushing. The analysis suggests that mergers and acquisitions contributed to the general improvement in labor productivity, echoing an earlier ERS study. Labor productivity is defined as...

Structural Change in the Meat, Poultry, Dairy and Grain Processing Industries
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ollinger,   Michael; Nguyen,   Sang V.; Blayney,   Donald P.; Chambers,   William; Nelson,   Kenneth B.
Consolidation and structural changes in the food industry have had profound impacts on firms, employees, and communities in many parts of the United States. Over 1972-92, eight important food industries underwent a structural transformation in which the number of plants declined by about one-third and the number of employees needed to staff the remaining plants dropped by more than 100,000 (20 percent). The number of plants in one other industry also dropped, but that industry added jobs. Economists generally attribute structural changes such as these to rising or falling demand and shifts in technology. This report examines consolidation and structural change in meatpacking, meat processing, poultry slaughter and processing, cheese products, fluid milk,...

Retail Dairy Prices Fluctuate with the Farm Value of Milk
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Stewart,   Hayden; Blayney,   Donald P.
Farm milk prices in the United States fluctuated throughout the 2000-2009 decade.  Dairy farmers, industry pundits, and policymakers all reacted with much alarm.  One point of concern has been the response of retail prices to farm price volatility.  This study investigates farm-to-retail price transmission for two major dairy products – whole milk and Cheddar cheese – in the 2000s.  Results show that price shocks at the farm gate were transmitted asymmetrically to retail.  However, in order to best identify the nature of the transmission process, it is important to fit alternative model specifications.

An Analysis of Demand Elasticities for Fluid Milk Products in the U.S.
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Davis,   Christopher G.; Blayney,   Donald P.; Cooper,   Joseph C.; Yen,   Steven T.
This study examines retail fluid milk products purchase data from Nielsen 2005 home scan data. The demand for seven categories of fluid milk products were estimated: whole milk, whole flavored milk, reduced fat milk, flavored reduced fat milk, buttermilk, canned milk and all other fluid milk products.  Analyses of the purchases of seven fluid milk categories based on the Nielsen 2005 home scan retail data are used to determine the roles marital status, age, race, education, female employment status and location play in the empirical estimations of aggregate demand elasticities.  To derive the demand elasticities, a censored translog demand system is used.  The results reveal that price and income are the main determinants of demand for fluid milk products...

A TRADE LIBERALIZATION IN INTERNATIONAL DAIRY MARKETS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Langley,   Suchada V.; Blayney,   Donald P.; Stout,   Jim; Somwaru,   Agapi; Normile,   Mary Anne; Miller,   James J.; Stillman,   Richard.
International dairy industries remain among the most distorted agricultural sectors. Dairy average bound tariffs remain among the highest of all agricultural commodities, and dairy trade is characterized by a large number of megatariffs and tariff-rate quotas (TRQs). The objective of our study is to examine how the international dairy markets might respond to policy changes under various assumptions, using a partial equilibrium, multiple-commodity, multiple-region model of agricultural policy and trade.  Our results indicate that liberalization will reduce supplies, increase dairy trade, and raise world prices.

Retail Dairy Prices Fluctuate with the Farm Value of Milk
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Stewart,   Hayden; Blayney,   Donald P.
Farm milk prices tend to be volatile. Dairy farmers, industry pundits, and policymakers further tend to react to price volatility with alarm. One point of concern is the response of retail prices. This study investigates farm-to-retail price transmission in the 2000s for whole milk and cheddar cheese. Results show that price shocks at the farm gate are transmitted with delay and asymmetry to retail. Differences in the nature of price transmission for whole milk and cheddar cheese prices are also identified.

A SURVEY OF ECONOMIC MODELS OF THE DAIRY INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kaiser,   Harry M.; Blayney,   Donald P.
The purpose of this report is to catalog, describe, and provide information concerning existing models of the dairy sector. Many types of dairy models are listed in this report. The models vary by geographic aggregation (e.g., farm, state, regional, national, and international levels), time dimension (e.g., comparative static, annual, quarterly, monthly, weekly, daily specifications), principal application (e.g., Federal Milk Marketing Order, dairy price support program, operations analysis, etc.), computer requirements (mainframe vs. micro-computer, DOS vs. Apple), ease of use, i.e., "user friendliness," and other dimensions. The report should be useful for individuals interested in the dairy industry, public policy, or quantitative methods.

MILK PRICING IN THE UNITED STATES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Manchester,   Alden C.; Blayney,   Donald P.
This report provides a primer on the complex pricing system that has evolved in the United States to deal with milk production, its assembly (collection), and its distribution to alternative users. All the various government and private institutions making up the system are expected to work together to ensure that the public gets the milk it wants, while dairy farmers get the economic returns needed to provide the milk. The major institutions are the Federal milk price support program and milk marketing orders, the Northeast Interstate Dairy Compact, State regulations, dairy cooperatives, and milk and dairy product futures and options markets. Our goal is to provide a primer on milk pricing that can serve as a steppingstone to other, more detailed works...

HOW DAIRY PRICE CHANGES INFLUENCE THE CONSUMERS' WELFARE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Huang,   Kuo S.; Blayney,   Donald P.
The Hicksian compensating variation is used to evaluate the consumers' welfare effects of price changes because of some hypothesized removals of Federal dairy policies and programs.  The results indicate that consumers would reduce dairy expenditures from about one to two billion dollars nationally.

Effect of Food Industry Mergers and Acquisitions on Employment and Wages
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ollinger,   Michael; Nguyen,   Sang V.; Blayney,   Donald P.; Chambers,   William; Nelson,   Kenneth B.
Empirical analysis of mergers and acquisitions in eight important food industries suggests that workers in acquired plants realized modest increases in employment and wages relative to other workers. Results also show that mergers and acquisitions reduced the likelihood of plant closures while high relative labor costs encouraged plant shutdowns. These results differ from commonly held views that mergers and acquisitions lead to fewer jobs, wage cuts, and plant shutdowns.

Autores: Blayney,   Donald P.; Gehlhar,   Mark J.; Bolling,   H. Christine; Jones,   Keithly G.; Langley,   Suchada V.; Normile,   Mary Anne; Somwaru,   Agapi.
Current dynamics in world dairy markets and the potential for global and domestic trade policy reform are bringing the U.S. dairy sector to a new crossroads as it faces competitive forces from outside its borders. Those forces—demand for new products by consumers in industrialized countries, changes in technology, rapid economic growth in emerging developing countries, particularly in Asia, and the increasing role of multinational firms in domestic and global dairy markets—are leading to increased dairy consumption, more opportunities for dairy product trade, and foreign direct investment benefiting both U.S. consumers and producers. As global demand for milk and new dairy products expands, the roles of policies that support prices are diminishing, while...

Will Changing Demographics Affect U.S. Cheese Demand?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Davis,   Christopher G.; Blayney,   Donald P.; Dong,   Diansheng; Yen,   Steven T.; Johnson,   Rachel J.
U.S. cheese consumption has grown considerably over the last three decades. Using a censored demand model and Nielsen Homescan retail data, this study identifies price and non-price factors affecting the demand for differentiated cheese products. Own-price and expenditure elasticities for all of the cheese products are statistically significant and elastic. Results also reveal that a strong substitution relationship exists among all cheese products. Although demographic influences are generally smaller than those related to prices and expenditures, empirical findings show that household size, college educated female heads of household who are age 40 and older, residing in the South, Central, and Western regions of the United States, as well as Black heads...

Structure of Dairy Markets: Past, Present, Future
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Manchester,   Alden C.; Blayney,   Donald P.
The U.S. dairy industry, many segments of which supported dairy policy changes in the 1996 Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act, is much different than it was 20 or even 10 years ago. This report provides a historical overview of the industry, more detailed examinations of the fluid milk market and selected manufactured dairy product markets, a discussion of future prospects and trends in the industry, and some thoughts on the implications of those prospects and trends for dairy farmers and their organizations, processors, dairy product manufacturers, and retailers.

Analyses of Generic Dairy Advertising, 1984-97
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Blisard,   Noel; Blayney,   Donald P.; Chandran,   Ram; Allshouse,   Jane E.
Generic advertising raised fluid milk sales about 6.0 percent, or 18.1 billion pounds, between September 1984 and September 1997. Sales of cheese rose by about 6.8 billion pounds (milk equivalent) in the same period because of increased generic advertising. An assessment of 15 cents per hundredweight of milk sold commercially, mandated by the Dairy and Tobacco Adjustment Act of 1983, funded the advertising. Activities of the National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Board also contributed to increased milk sales over the past year. Gross returns to dairy farmers between September 1984 and September 1997 were estimated to increase by $3.44 for each dollar spent on generic advertising.
