THE PRIVATE SECTOR APPROACH TO GRAIN MARKETING: THE CASE OF AGRICULTURAL MARKET ADVISORY SERVICES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Irwin,   Scott H.; Good,   Darrel L.; Jackson,   Thomas E.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the pricing performance and behavior of market advisory services in corn and soybeans.  Data on corn and soybean net price received for advisory services, as reported by the AgMAS Project, are available for the 1995, 1996 and 1997 marketing years.  Performance test results suggest that, on average, market advisory services exhibit a small ability to "beat the market".  This conclusion is somewhat sensitive to the type of performance test and market benchmark considered.  The predictability results provide little evidence that future advisory service pricing performance can be predicted from past performance.  Marketing profiles identify three marketing "styles":  i) "scale-up" sales, ii) selective hedging and...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Good,   Darrel L.; Irwin,   Scott H.; Jackson,   Thomas E.; Jirik,   Mark A.; Martines-Filho,   Joao Gomes.
The purpose of this research report is to present an evaluation of advisory service pricing performance in 1998 for corn and soybeans. Specifically, the average price received by a subscriber to an advisory service is calculated for corn and soybean crops harvested in 1998. The average net advisory price across all 23 corn programs is $2.17 per bushel - seven cents below the market benchmark price. The net advisory prices for corn range from a minimum of $1.93 per bushel to a maximum of $2.51 per bushel. The average net advisory price across all 22 soybean programs is $5.82 per bushel - four cents less than the market benchmark. The net advisory prices for soybeans range from a minimum of $5.11 per bushel to a maximum of $6.58 per bushel.

DEVELOPMENT OF A MARKET BENCHMARK PRICE FOR AGMAS PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Good,   Darrel L.; Irwin,   Scott H.; Jackson,   Thomas E.
The purpose of this research report is to identify the appropriate market benchmark price to use to evaluate the pricing performance of market advisory services that are included in the annual AgMAS pricing performance evaluations. Five desirable properties of market benchmark prices are identified. Three potential specifications of the market benchmark price are considered: the average price received by Illinois farmers, the harvest cash price, and the average cash price over a two-year crop marketing window. The average cash price meets all of the desired properties, except that it would not be easily implementable by producers. It can be shown, though, that the price realized via a more manageable strategy of "spreading" sales during the marketing...

DO AGRICULTURAL MARKET ADVISORY SERVICES BEAT THE MARKET? EVIDENCE FROM THE CORN AND SOYBEAN MARKETS OVER 1995-1997
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Irwin,   Scott H.; Jackson,   Thomas E.; Good,   Darrel L.
The purpose of this paper is to address two basic performance questions for market advisory services: 1) Do market advisory services, on average, outperform an appropriate market benchmark? and 2) Do market advisory services exhibit persistence in their performance from year-to-year?  Data on corn and soybean net price received for advisory services, as reported by the AgMAS Project, are available for the 1995, 1996 and 1997 marketing years.  Performance test results suggest that, on average, market advisory services exhibit a small ability to "beat the market" for the 1995 through 1997 corn and soybean crops.

THE MARKETING STYLE OF ADVISORY SERVICES FOR CORN AND SOYBEANS IN 1995
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bertoli,   Roberto; Zuluaf,   Carl R.; Irwin,   Scott H.; Jackson,   Thomas E.; Good,   Darrel L.
The 1995 marketing styles for the 25 market advisory service programs included in the AgMAS Project were developed in two steps. The first step was the construction of a detailed "menu" of the tools and strategies used by each of the advisory programs in marketing corn and soybeans. The menu describes the type of pricing tool, frequency of transactions, and magnitude of transactions. The second step was the development of a daily index of the net amount sold by each market advisory program. To construct such an index, the various futures, options, and cash positions recommended for a program on a given day were weighted by the respective position "delta." When the daily values of the index were plotted for the entire marketing period, the marketing...

DO AGRICULTURAL MARKET ADVISORY SERVICES BEAT THE MARKET? EVIDENCE FROM THE CORN AND SOYBEAN MARKETS OVER 1995-1998
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Irwin,   Scott H.; Good,   Darrel L.; Martines-Filho,   Joao Gomes; Jackson,   Thomas E.
The purpose of this paper is to address two basic performance questions for market advisory services: 1) Do market advisory services, on average, outperform an appropriate market benchmark? and 2) Do market advisory  services exhibit persistence in their performance from year-to-year? Data on corn and soybean net price received for advisory services, as reported by the AgMAS Project, are available for the 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998 crop years. Performance test results suggest that, on average, market advisory services exhibit a small ability to "beat the market" for the 1995 through 1998 corn and soybean crops. It is debatable whether the performance of advisory services also is economically significant. The predictability results provide little evidence...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jirik,   Mark A.; Irwin,   Scott H.; Good,   Darrel L.; Jackson,   Thomas E.; Martines-Filho,   Joao Gomes.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the performance of agricultural market advisory services in marketing wheat. Two key performance questions are addressed: 1) Do market advisory services, on average, outperform an appropriate wheat market benchmark? and 2) Do market advisory services exhibit persistence in their wheat performance from year-to-year?  Market advisory service recommendations for wheat are available from the AgMAS Project for the 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998 marketing years. At least 20 advisory programs are included for each year.  Tests of pricing performance relative to a market benchmark are based on the proportion of programs exceeding the benchmark price and the average percentage difference between the net price of advisory...

DO AGRICULTURAL MARKET ADVISORY SERVICES BEAT THE MARKET? EVIDENCE FROM THE WHEAT MARKET OVER 1995-1998
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jirik,   Mark A.; Irwin,   Scott H.; Good,   Darrel L.; Martines-Filho,   Joao Gomes; Jackson,   Thomas E.
The purpose of this report is to address two basic performance questions for market advisory services in wheat: 1) Do market advisory services, on average, outperform an appropriate market benchmark? and 2) Do market advisory services exhibit persistence in their performance from year-to-year?  Data on wheat net price received for advisory services, as reported by the AgMAS Project, are available for the 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998 crop years.  Not only do market advisory programs in wheat consistently fail to "beat the market," their performance is significantly worse than the market.  On average, market advisory service performance is about $14 per acre below benchmark revenue, an economically non-trivial amount by any reasonable standard. The...
