KÉNYSZERŰ ÉRTÉKVESZTÉS A MEZŐGAZDASÁGI TERMÉKEK PIACÁN
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Varga,   Tibor.
Witnessing the long-standing resource insufficiency in Hungarian agriculture, the question arises: aside from obviously low efficiencies, to what extent have unfavorable prices led to this situation. In my presentation I will try to answer the question whether, assuming some kind of value-categories or other as given and measured against this, the permanent erosion of agricultural prices can be established. If so, could declining prices be connected to specific features of the agricultural sector? These answers may be useful for experts in make arrangements for decisions of agricultural policy. Research on micro-economic principles, shows that for an analysis of the value-distortion of our prices the equilibrium prices of the so-called “Walras market” (a...

The Effects of Supply Shifts on Producers' Surplus: the Case of Inelastic Linear Supply Curves
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Karagiannis,   Giannis; Furtan,   William Hartley.
This paper derives sufficient conditions (in terms of supply and demand elasticities) for producers to gain under different supply shifts when supply and demand are specified to be linear functions and supply is inelastic.  It is shown that regardless of the type of supply shift, producers lose whenever the sum of absolute values of supply and demand elasticities is less than one, while they gain when production takes place in the elastic portion of the demand.  In all other cases arising from alternative elasticity configurations simple formulas developed in this paper may be used to determine the direction of change in producers surplus.

PRICING STRATEGY UNDER MONOPOLY CONDITIONS: AN EXPERIMENT FOR THE CLASSROOM
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Nelson,   Robert G.; Beil,   Richard O., Jr.
This classroom experiment allows students to explore pricing strategies available to the monopolist.  Students are given full information about their costs but know nothing about demand except that it is simulated by the instructor.  They submit their price-asked and quantity-offered records on one day and receive the quantity-sold response from the instructor on the next day, continuing this routine until they discover the profit-maximizing price and quantity.  One of the objectives is to demonstrate that search strategies based on economic principles (MC=MR) can be more efficient than trial-and-error.

Price Cointegration Analyses of Food Crop Markets: The case of Wheat and Teff Commodities in Northern Ethiopia
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jaleta,   Moti; Gebremedhin,   Berhanu.
This paper examines the cointegration of grain market prices in Northern Ethiopia. Results are based on bi-monthly retail price data on wheat and teff collected from six markets in the Tigray region of Northern Ethiopia. The data has 55 observations for each of the two crops in each of the six markets ranging over a period of May 2006 to October 2008. Johansen’s cointegration test reveals that most markets are cointegrated in wheat and teff retail prices. There is an indication that retail prices at Abi-Adi, a town located relatively farther away from the main asphalt road, is less integrated to other markets. This implies that infrastructural development is crucial for spatial market integration through market information transmission and physical...

MANAGING PRICE VOLATILITY IN AN OPEN ECONOMY ENVIRONMENT: THE CASE OF EDIBLE OILS AND OILSEEDS IN INDIA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Srinivasan,   P.V.
This study examines the impact of alternative price stabilization policies for edible oils and oilseeds in India on the farmers growing oilseeds, the consumers of edible oils and the processing sector with the help of a multi market equilibrium dynamic simulation model. Price stability in the edible oil sector is important at least for two reasons. It can help realize the growth potential in the production of edible oils and improve the nutritional security of Indian households. While efficiency considerations suggest the linking of domestic to world prices, extreme fluctuations in price have to be avoided, for they can lead to undesirable consequences both at the macro and micro levels. The questions addressed in this study include the following. What is...

Exploring demand for forestry in Lake Victoria Basin (Western Kenya): An econometric approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jindal,   Rohit.
This paper determines the demand for a forestry program amongst rural households in western Kenya. It is based on a field survey with 277 households, using a stratified random sampling approach. The study follows attribute based method to elicit farmers’ preferences. Demand is measured in terms of additional number of trees that a household is willing to plant under different price schedules, including direct economic incentive to plant new seedlings. The mean willingness to plant new trees per household increases from 44 trees when farmers have to pay 10ksh/seedling, to 244 trees when farmers receive a payment of 10ksh/seedling. The paper uses fixed effects, random effects and random effect tobit models to estimate relevant parameters. Hausman...

The benefits to the Australian Pig meat industry from an increase in demand for a hypothetical low cholesterol pork product
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Slattery,   Henry; Griffith,   Garry R.; Malcolm,   Bill; Dunshea,   Frank.
This is the third of a series of papers examining the potential economic effects from the introduction of a hypothetical low cholesterol pork product into the Australian market. Here, a newly updated pig meat model reported by Griffith et al. (2010) is used to model the industry wide impacts of the Bellhouse et al. (2010) survey results on consumer willingness to pay for this new pork product. Six different scenarios are examined that are combinations of a 10, 20 or 30 per cent increase in consumer demand, with and without a 10 per cent increase in the costs of producing the more valuable pork. The simulation results for the various scenarios indicate total annual industry benefits of some $450m for an increase in aggregate willingness to pay of 30 per...

Impact of Macroeconomic Policies on Agricultural Prices
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Awokuse,   Titus O.
Existing empirical evidence on the impact of macroeconomic variables on agriculture remains mixed and inconclusive. This paper re-examines the dynamic relationship between monetary policy variables and agricultural prices using alternative vector autoregression (VAR) type model specifications. Directed acyclic graph theory is proposed as an alternative modeling approach to supplement existing modeling methods. Similar to results in other studies, this study’s findings show that over the time period analyzed (1975–2000), changes to money supply as a monetary policy tool had little or no impact on agricultural prices. The primary macroeconomic policy instrument that affects agricultural prices is the exchange rate, which is shown to be directly linked to...

Seasonality in the Demand for Bananas
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Aggrey-Mensah,   W.; Guise,   John W.B.
Weekly demand functions are estimated for bananas traded on the Sydney wholesale market using data for the period 1953 to 1967. Graphs of these functions suggest that the demand for bananas varies in a systematic fashion through the year. Further research will be required before it is possible to identify the specific dynamic factors responsible for these demand shifts. However, the short-run relationships which have been estimated provide quantitive information which could be used to evaluate the potential benefits to growers of a planned marketing program.

Wheat / Flour Price Transmission and Agricultural Policies in Ukraine: A Markov-Switching Vector Error Correction Approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Brümmer,   Bernhard; Zorya,   Sergiy.
The analysis of price transmission between raw and processed agricultural products in transition countries is complicated by the frequently changing conditions on their way from plan to market. We utilise a Markov-switching vector error correction model to allow for multiple regime shifts in the price relationship between wheat and wheat flour in Ukraine from June 2000 to November 2004. The analysis reveals four regimes. The observed temporal pattern of these regimes can be matched with certain political and economic events in Ukraine. In particular, we find a strong link between the 'high uncertainty' regime and discretionary policy interventions in 2003.

Do rBST-Free and Organic Milk Stigmatize Conventionally Produced Milk?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kanter,   Christopher; Messer,   Kent D.; Kaiser,   Harry M.
Producers are continually seeking to differentiate their products in the marketplace. A common approach is via labeling where differences in production methods are marketed. Yet, positive labeling for the new product has the potential to stigmatize the conventionally produced product by highlighting perceived problems with the product. The net economic result can be negative to producers as the conventional product that dominates the market is stigmatized by the new product that has little market share, and this leads to consumers decreasing their willingness to pay for the conventional product. This experimental research identifies this stigma effect in the case of milk, where the presentation of rBST-Free milk reduces consumers' willingness to purchase...

CHARACTERISTICS OF CONSUMERS DEMANDING AND THEIR WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR CERTIFIED SAFER PORK
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Miller,   Gay Y.; Unnevehr,   Laurian J.
A telephone survey of 609 Illinois households was conducted in spring 1999.  Most consumers surveyed have concerns about pork safety. Concerns were greatest among households with children, lower incomes, older consumers, and Blacks. Lower consumption of pork was associated with higher concern.  Consumers had more confidence in USDA certification of enhanced pork safety than in industry certification. Most consumers were willing to pay some price premium for a certified safer product. Those willing to pay more were more likely women, older consumers with incomes less than $70,000, who live in an urban household, and have concern about pork safety.

TWO-STAGE UTILITY MAXIMIZATION AND IMPORT DEMAND SYSTEMS REVISITED: LIMITATIONS AND AN ALTERNATIVE
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Davis,   George C.; Jensen,   Kimberly L.
Two-stage utility maximization theory has been widely used in the literature to estimate import demand for agricultural commodities that are often inputs. This article examines the overlooked conceptual and empirical limitations of applying two-stage utility maximization theory to model the demand for imported commodities that are inputs. A discussion is presented about how the underutilized theory of two-stage profit maximization overcomes these limitations. Also discussed are the conditions under which errors illustration of the two-stage profit maximization procedure is provided.

Effects of Price and Quality Differences in Source Differentiated Beef on Market Demand
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lee,   Young-Jae; Kennedy,   P. Lynn.
In order to estimate demand elasticities of source differentiated beef in South Korea, this study used the quantity of an endogenous demand system derived through maximizing the economic welfare of market participants including local beef consumers and local and foreign beef suppliers. The demand system is then weighted with respect to quality adjustment parameters to identify the effects of quality differences in source differentiated beef on market demand. As implied by the high relative price of locally produced ‘‘Hanwoo’’ beef, substitutability between local and imported beef is shown to be very weak and the own price elasticity of South Korean beef is shown to be inelastic. Related to quality differences between source differentiated beef, South...

Geographic Differences in the Relative Price of Healthy Foods
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Todd,   Jessica E.; Leibtag,   Ephraim S.; Penberthy,   Corttney.
Although healthy foods can be affordable, if less healthy foods are cheaper, individuals may have an economic incentive to consume a less healthful diet. Using the Quarterly Food-at-Home Price Database, we explore whether a select set of healthy foods (whole grains, dark green vegetables, orange vegetables, whole fruit, skim and 1% milk, fruit juice, and bottled water) are more expensive than less healthy alternatives. We find that not all healthy foods are more expensive than less healthy alternatives; skim and 1% milk are less expensive than whole and 2% milk and bottled water is generally less expensive than carbonated nonalcoholic drinks. We also find considerable geographic variation in the relative price of healthy foods. This price variation may...

The household production approach is used to characterize the household's preference toward nutrients in food consumption.  Elasticities of substitution and Hicksian price elasticities are estimated, price- and expenditure-nutrient elasticities are calculated.  Results show that protein is the most expensive nutrient, and that nutrients played an important role in determining households' food consumption.

Estimation of a Censored AIDS Model: A Simulated Amemiya-Tobin Approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dong,   Diansheng; Kaiser,   Harry M.
Kuhn-Tucker approach and its dual have been proposed to the demand system estimation when there are non-negativity bindings. However, empirical researchers have been struggling two decades in applying this method into practice due to: (1) the difficulty in derivation of a coherent econometric model, and (2) the cumbersome evaluation of high order probability integrals needed in parameter estimation. In this paper, we avoid the above two issues by using the Amemiya-Tobin demand system approach and the simulation procedure to evaluate the probability integrals. An AIDS model is estimated and the elasticities are obtained that are impossible to achieve when using Kuhn-Tucker approach. The model is applied to an analysis of Canadian household food demand.

Autores: Hambrusch,   Josef; Quendler,   Erika.
With respect to the new Common Market Organisation (CMO) for fruit and vegetables, the present paper focuses on societal developments that influence the demand for fruits and vegetables, provides some basic information on fruit and vegetable production in Austria and, finally, describes the roles of Producer Organisations (PO) and retailers in Austria. The study is based on a literature review as well as on interviews with representatives of the POs. The results reveal that six Austrian POs face an increasing concentration process in the Austrian retail industry, which is important since roughly 90% of all fruits and vegetables are distributed in retail and discount outlets. Furthermore, during the last ten years the overall consumption of fruits and...

Renewable resources are gaining importance in modern society due to their expected positive effects on agriculture, the environment and the economy. To support renewable energy from biomass the EU promotes the cultivation of energy crops. A spatial equilibrium model is applied based on the concept of maximizing net welfare, to provide information whether energy crop production competes with food production for land area and to show the effects of increased biofuel demand on food prices. The Model of Interregional Trade of Energy Crops (ITEC) refers to Eastern Germany and adjacent areas of Poland. Results show that the regions produce enough feedstocks to meet the demand for food and biofuel production. In many cases both food crops and biofuels are either...

DERIVED DEMAND ELASTICITIES: MARKETING MARGIN METHODS VERSUS AN INVERSE DEMAND MODEL FOR CHOICE BEEF
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Marsh,   John M.
Three methods of calculating the derived elasticity of demand for Choice slaughter beef are used: (a) a traditional marketing margin approach, (b) a modified marketing margin approach, and (c) an econometric, inverse demand model approach. The first method is more restrictive than the second but both tend to overestimate beef price flexibility and revenue changes. The econometric model, though an incomplete demand system, yields demand elasticities that are more consistent with marketing flexibility but are less pronounced than estimates of a complete system. An example using a two-year revenue forecast compares slaughter revenue adjustments based on the first margin method with those based on structural demand models.

Agricultural Profits and Farm Household Wealth: A Farm-level Analysis Using Repeated Cross Sections
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Blank,   Steven C.; Erickson,   Kenneth W.; Nehring,   Richard F.; Hallahan,   Charles B.
This study examines the relationship between agricultural profits and farm household wealth across locations and farm sizes in U.S. agriculture. A multiperiod household model is used to develop hypotheses for testing. Results indicate that farmland has out-performed nonfarm investments over the past decade. Thus, households may want to keep their farmland to build wealth, even if it requires them to earn off-farm income. The analysis implies that decision will be made based on farm household wealth factors having little to do with agriculture.

Comparing Parts with the Whole: Willingness to Pay for Pesticide-Free, Non-GM, and Organic Potatoes and Sweet Corn
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bernard,   John C.; Bernard,   Daria J.
Auction experiments were used to investigate demand relationships and willingness to pay (WTP) for four versions of potatoes and sweet corn—conventional, organic, and two parts of organic: no pesticides and non-genetically modified (non-GM). Elasticities showed strong and asymmetric substitute relationships between organic and its parts. Combined premiums of the parts were not significantly different than the whole organic premium, suggesting WTP for the attributes are not additive. A two-stage heteroskedastic tobit model found significant WTP for each part dependent on demographics and beliefs about conventional versions. Results suggest segments for parts of organic could be established alongside the whole.

Expert opinion and cuisine reputation in the market for restaurant meals
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)

As food is an experience good, the market for restaurant meals is a market where the cost of acquiring information regarding quality is relatively high. In such markets consumers often turn to reputation measures to guide purchase decisions. As Australia does not have a longstanding cuisine style of its own, and given Australia has been open to substantial immigration inflows since federation, it represents an especially appropriate market to study regarding the impact of individual restaurant reputation and collective cuisine reputation on meal prices. The following study uses the hedonic price approach to investigate the implicit price of individual reputation indicators, cuisine type reputation indicators, and other objective indicators in the market...

Price Discovery and Pricing Choice Under Divergent Supply Scenarios in an Experimental Market for Fed Cattle
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ward,   Clement E.
Previous research has not addressed the impacts of alternative supply conditions on price discovery and pricing choice. This study estimated models with data from an experimental market, the Fed Cattle Market Simulator, encompassing live weight, dressed weight, and grid pricing under two alternative supply scenarios. Significance of variables explaining transaction price variation and pricing choice differed between the two supply periods. Overall results were close to expectations. Higher quality cattle marketed with a grid brought higher prices in both supply periods. Having lower quality cattle in either supply period increased the probability of cattle being marketed (purchased) on a live weight basis.

Long-term Global Agricultural Output Supply-Demand Balance and Real Farm and Food Prices
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Tweeten,   Luther G.; Thompson,   Stanley R.
Global food demand is estimated from population projections of the United Nations and food supply is projected from Food and Agriculture Organization yield data to quantify the global food supply-demand balance for 2025 and 2050. The eight food categories examined account for 95 percent of global food consumption.  Results indicate that the historic era of secularly falling real food prices is over. The real price of corn, for example, is not expected to fall over the next four decades at the annual rate of 1.3 percent that it fell annually from 1960 to 2006. The analysis foresees future real food prices fluctuating around a flat or rising trend. Slowed national economic growth from flat or rising real food prices may be little more than an irritant for...

A Choice Model with Systematic Structures in Decision Weights
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hu,   Wuyang.
This article introduces a discrete choice model which incorporates a nonlinear structural adjustment to the standard utility coefficients or decision weights.  The proposed model is theoretically and empirically appealing when compared to several alternative approaches, and it can be estimated by conventional maximum likelihood.  Application of the proposed model in a case study shows that it outperforms two competing approaches in model fit.  Given its simplicity, this model is also capable of revealing consumers' heterogeneous choices.  It is shown that based on consumers' different characteristics, their product choice and its welfare implications are also potentially different.

EGG ADVERTISING, DIETARY CHOLESTEROL CONCERNS, AND U.S. CONSUMER DEMAND
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Schmit,   Todd M.; Kaiser,   Harry M.
A model of the domestic demand for eggs was estimated from quarterly data over the period 1987 through 1995, incorporating an index of consumer dietary cholesterol concerns and generic advertising efforts by the American Egg Board and the California Egg Commission.  Empirical results indicated that most of the observed change in egg demand could be explained by dietary cholesterol concerns.  Simulating the model in a constant elasticity supply framework demonstrated that advertising efforts over the past several years have resulted in net benefits to egg producers largely when considering inelastic supply responses.  However, considering trade bias reduces these benefit-cost ratios substantially.

Autores: Clifford,   William B.; Hoban,   Thomas J.; Whitehead,   John C.
The North Carolina Agriculture Survey was designed to estimate the willingness to pay for agricultural research and extension programs.  We find that North Carolina households are willing to pay between $218 and $401 million for food production programs and between $251 and $698 million for water quality programs annually.  We find evidence of divergent validity and differences in the willingness to pay estimates from the single-bound and multiple-bound data.

ASSESSING KOSOVO'S HORTICULTURAL POTENTIAL – THE MARKET FOR FRUIT AND VEGETABLES ON THE BALKANS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fischer,   Christian.
Kosovo had been a net exporter – at least of some – fruit and vegetables in the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia before the civil war. Current reconstruction efforts therefore focus on restoring the past horticultural potential of the now independent province. This paper analyses the competitiveness of the Kosovar fruit and vegetable sector. By calculating average net trade flows during 1996-2000 for more than 20 individual fruit and vegetables and seven aggregates, demand potentials for the Balkan regional market are identified for potatoes, lettuce, garlic, dried beans and pears. In addition, average export unit values are calculated as price proxies in order to assess export price competitiveness in the region. While demand potentials for locally...

Consumers' Perception of Sustainably Produced Food: The case of local and organic production technologies
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Whorton,   Carly S.; Amanor-Boadu,   Vincent.
This paper identifies ways to improve on the current literature regarding sustainable production technologies, in this case, organic and local products. A survey method is used to examine organic and local markets in place of a single product to gain a better understanding of consumers‟ response to these products, their reactions to price differences of these products, and how their preferences change based on changing income level and prices. The sample was drawn from a commercial database and was attempted to be made random across the U.S. population. In place of results, hypotheses are presented as data were late coming back.

FACTORS INFLUENCING CHANGES IN POTATO AND POTATO SUBSTITUTE DEMAND
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Richards,   Timothy J.; Kagan,   Albert; Gao,   Xiaoming.
Despite the rapid rise in complex carbohydrate consumption over the last twenty-five years, fresh potato consumption has fallen by over 50%.  Fresh potato growers and retailers alike need to know whether these changes reflect consumer responses to changing relative prices or incomes, or whether they are due to changes in consumer tastes.  This paper uses a linear approximation almost ideal demand system (LA/AIDS) to investigate the effect of relative prices, expenditures, and a set of socioeconomic variables on complex carbohydrate demand.  Estimation results show that the socioeconomic variables explain some of the changes in demand, but a significant amount remains as evidence of a change in consumer tastes.

THE DEMAND FOR WHOLESALE BEEF CUTS BY SEASON AND TREND
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Namken,   Jerry C.; Farris,   Donald E.; Capps,   Oral, Jr.
This study estimates demand during the 1980-90 period for wholesale beef cuts by season and by trend.  A data set containing monthly nominal prices for wholesale cuts and average choice boxed beef from January 1980 to December 1990 was collected from multiple sources.  The approach expressed the change in demand for wholesale cuts as the change in the price ratio of individual cuts relative to the price of boxed beef.  This approach shows changes in amount by season and over time relative to the average wholesale cut.  Brisket, Armbone Chuck, Bottom Gooseneck, and Knuckle showed the strongest demand in winter and lowest in summer.  Top (Inside) Round had a clear downward trend in demand, but the seasonal pattern was less pronounced and more erratic than...

Indicators of poverty in western Kenya show high poverty levels. The area has low dairy development yet the potential for dairy development is quite high. Dairy farming has the potential to reduce poverty by increasing incomes and reducing unemployment. This paper reports factor interrelationships in dairy adoption with a view to understanding factors that influence adoption. The binary probit model was used to analyse data from 1575 households. Contrary to findings from similar studies elsewhere, some factors had a negative association with adoption, thus unfolding a unique adoption process. The association between the factor interactive affects and technology adoption highlighted the importance of exploring factor interrelationships. The widely held...

Producers' Price Expectations and the Size of the Welfare Gains from Price Stabilisation
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Scandizzo,   Pasquale Lucio; Hazell,   Peter B.R.; Anderson,   Jock R.
This paper uses a simulation model to measure the size of the social welfare gains from price stabilisation within the general setting of a non-linear, multiplicative risk and lagged expectations model of the market. The size of the gains is found to be relatively small when producers plan on the basis of rational expectations, but it can be quite substantial for other types of expectations behaviour, including those commonly assumed in empirical supply analysis. We conclude that, in many cases, improved market information services may more economically provide the substantial part of the social benefits of price stabilisation.

A Note on Cost Functions and the Regression Fallacy
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Martin,   William J.
Random variation in output may lead to serious bias in cost function estimates. Despite the availability of simple, consistent instrumental variable estimators to deal with this problem, most empirical studies appear to have ignored this errors-in-variables problem, or dealt with it in an ad hoc manner. In this note, an instrumental variable approach is suggested, and applied to the estimation of cost-output relationships for a sample of irrigated citrus farms. Ordinary least squares was found to result in a statistically significant bias. Although this bias did not alter the economic interpretation of the results for the sample used, the bias is likely to be more serious for samples with greater chance variation in output. Thus, it is argued that all cost...

Managing Quality under Heterogeneous Consumer Demand and Product Quality
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Carriquiry,   Miguel A.; Babcock,   Bruce A.
Based on accepted advances in the marketing, economics, consumer behavior, and satisfaction literatures, we develop a micro-foundations model of a firm that needs to manage the quality of a product that is inherently heterogeneous in the presence of varying customer tastes or expectations for quality. Our model blends elements of the returns to quality, customer lifetime value, and service profit chain approaches to marketing. The model is then used to explain several empirical results pertaining to the marketing literature by explicitly articulating the trade-offs between customer satisfaction and costs (including opportunity costs) of quality. In this environment firms will find it optimal to allow some customers to go unsatisfied. We show that the...

LONG-RUN PRICE RISK IN U.S. AGRICULTURAL MARKETS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Schnepf,   Randall D.; Goodwin,   Barry K.
The last three years have realized significant structural changes in the U.S. agricultural policy environment.  These changes include nearly complete planting flexibility and the elimination of target-price-based income support for agricultural producers.  Many have questioned the extent to which such policy changes may influence the variability of agricultural prices.  This analysis uses price series dating from 1944 to develop a multivariate framework to evaluate the long-run (inter-season) determinants of endogenous variability for the prices of corn, wheat, and soybeans.  An annual measure of price variability is calculated from monthly spot market cash prices for each of the three commodities.  The generalized method of moments estimation technique is...

Consumer Choice of Private Label or National Brand: The case of organic and non-organic milk
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Zhuang,   Yan; Dimitri,   Carolyn; Jaenicke,   Edward C.
We use a two-stage, sample selection model to investigate organic milk purchases using Neilsen’s Homescan data.  In the first stage, households decide on a weekly basis to buy mainly organic milk or non-organic milk.  Results from this stage show that higher income, better education, having children at home, and several other demographic and marketing variables have a positive effect on organic choice.  In the second stage, consumers then choose to buy mainly private label milk or national brand milk conditional on their first-stage choice.  Most demographic and marketing variables are found to affect the organic and non-organic private label decision in the same way.  However, our results show that a few factors, such as marriage status and children,...

Agricultural Contracts and Alternative Marketing Options: A Matching Analysis
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Katchova,   Ani L.
The increasing use of agricultural contracts and processor concentration raises concerns that processors may offer lower contract prices in absence of local competition. This study examines the price competitiveness of marketing and production contracts depending on the availability of alternative marketing options. A propensity score matching method is used to compare prices using contract data from a farm-level national survey. The results show that the absence of other contractors or spot markets in producers’ areas does not lead to statistically significant price differences in agricultural contracts for most commodities, providing evidence that most agricultural processors do not exercise market power by reducing prices when other local buyers are not...

The Impact of Imports on Price-Cost Margins: An Empirical Illustration
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lopez,   Rigoberto A.; Lopez,   Elena.
This article decomposes the impact of imports on domestic price-cost margins into separate price and cost effects.  Using data from 24 food-processing industries, the empirical results show that although the direct impact of imports on prices is always negative, a positive net impact on price-cost margins occurs in industries characterized by low own-price elasticity of demand and diseconomies of scale. Further results show that the disciplining effect of imports is more preponderant the lower the degree of domestic competition.

We evaluate the impact of different information sequences on participants’ hypothetical willingness to pay (WTP) for food produced using nanotechnology. In three treatment groups, information on the health, societal, or environmental impact linked to nanotechnology was revealed in different sequences: an imposed order, a chosen order, and a chosen order after a discussion among participants. Results show that information choice is important. While in the imposed order, the first information revealed has no effect on WTP, the information chosen first has a strong impact. Discussion has no further impact. Health information was a priority and significantly decreased WTP, while societal and environmental information did not significantly influence WTP.

Factors Influencing Consumer Likelihood of Purchasing a Flexible-Fuel or Hybrid Automobile
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Li,   Xiaogu; Clark,   Christopher D.; Jensen,   Kimberly L.; English,   Burton C.; Yen,   Steven T.
Developing fuels and vehicles that reduce our reliance on fossil fuels has become a priority due to the threat of global climate change and desire for reduced dependence on oil imports. Flexible-fuel vehicles that can run on ethanol/gasoline blends of up to 85% ethanol and hybrid electric vehicles present two such opportunities. While production of both flexible-fuel and hybrid vehicles is increasing, there is still a great deal of uncertainty about how consumers will respond to these products. To address this uncertainty, data was collected through an online survey of automobile owners that asked respondents how likely they were to choose either a flexible-fuel or hybrid vehicle as their next vehicle. A bivariate probit model was used to jointly analyze...

Effects of Soybean Checkoff Research Expenditures on U.S. Soybean Yields and Net Revenue: A Time Series Analysis
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bessler,   David A.
Statistical methods are used to study relationships between research expenditures (adjusted for inflation) made from producer checkoff programs and soybean yields and net revenues in the United States for the years 1978 – 2007. Results presented are for yield and net revenue data and research expenditures for the entire United States. We find that research expenditures over the years 1994 to 2007 are responsible for a 0.95 bushel per acre per year increase in soybean yields. We calculate net producer revenues to be about $17 per acre higher than would have been the case without the soybean research checkoff expenditures.

Environmental flow allocation and counter-cyclical trading in the River Murray System
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: English,   Ben; Brearley,   Taron; Coggan,   Anthea.
Australia's climate is characterized by highly variable rainfall. As a consequence, many aspects of riverine ecosystems need both very wet and very dry periods to function effectively. This contrasts with water demands from industrial and agricultural sectors, which place a premium on access to a constant supply of water. This combination of demands suggests there could be considerable value in using water banking and trading mechanisms to reduce the social cost of achieving environmental objectives. In this paper, the concept of counter-cyclical trading is outlined and influences on its potential for reducing the cost of achieving environmental flow objectives evaluated. The potential value of using mechanisms to enable counter-cyclical trading across low...

The paper examines relationships and linkages between the conventional supply chain actors (wholesalers and retailers) and local food producers based on a study conducted in Southeast Michigan. A case study approach was employed to examine chain actors’ operations and to explore their roles, experiences and perceptions about local foods. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the owners and managers of eleven retailers and six wholesalers. The study found differences in local food perceptions, buying experiences and perceived benefits and risks associated with local food sourcing activities. The study also identified some competition between local independent food retailers and alternative market outlets. The major implication of the findings is...

African consumers' expectations concerning quality of food products are great. In spite of constrained budgets, we showed that market retailed prices revealed quality preferences of the consumers and not only production costs. In very poor countries like Mali, food innovation is limited by the very low purchasing power of the population. However, technological food product or process innovations are possible and sometimes valuable. Demand driven innovation may lead to open new markets, opportunities for small and medium scale enterprises and to improve consumers' welfare. Based on this assumption, technical research was done to provide new food products. In this paper, using both sensory test and a hedonic price approach, we estimated consumer demand for...

The Impacts of Ethanol on the US Catfish Farm Sector
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Zheng,   Hualu; Muhammad,   Andrew; Herndon,   Cary W., Jr.
In this study, we estimated catfish feed and farm price reduced form equations. Of particular importance was the impact of the recent increase in grain prices induced by ethanol production on feed cost and farm prices. This relationship was examined using an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model. Results show that a 1% increase in corn prices caused a 0.134% and 0.263% increase in feed prices in the short- and long-run, respectively. Catfish farm prices increased by 0.106% (short-run) and 0.211% (long-run) given a 1% increase in feed prices.  Between 2004 and 2008, corn prices increased from $2 to $6 per bushels. Taheripour and Tyner (2008) state that of the total increase, 25% was due to US ethanol subsidies and 75% was due to the increase in the...

The A.C. Nielson household scanner panel is used to analyze factors affecting brand-size choices for spaghetti.  These data link product purchases, which are scanned, with household demographics and market information on the store where purchased.  A multinominal logit model and a nested logit model are specified and estimated.  In addition to the effects of inventory and brand loyalty, the most interesting results relate to the price elasticities of choice probabilities.  These elasticities are much more elastic than those found in traditional food demand analysis.  Different brands and sizes of spaghetti products on the same supermarket shelf are very close substitutes for the consumer.

RISK AVERSION, UNCERTAINTY AVERSION, AND VARIATION AVERSION IN APPLIED COMMODITY PRICE ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Frechette,   Darren L.; Wen,   Fang-I.
Standard models of hedging behavior assume that either hedgers wish to minimize net price variation or they wish to balance variation versus profits. These models treat variation as risk and fail to distinguish between variation that is random and variation that is not random over time. Newer models of decision making differentiate between random and nonrandom variation somewhat, but they inadequately distinguish variation from risk. This paper reviews the distinctions among variation, uncertainty, and risk and calculates optimal hedge ratios for two models addressing the distinction. Empirical optimal hedge ratios typically decline toward zero when variation aversion is included in the models. These results may help explain why hedgers commonly hedge less...

Identification of Supply Models of Retailer and Manufacturer Oligopoly Pricing
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Villas-Boas,   Sofia Berto; Hellerstein,   Rebecca.
This note outlines conditions under which we can identify a vertical supply model of multiple retailers' and manufacturers' oligopoly-pricing behavior. This is an important question particularly when the researcher believes, contrary to the traditional assumption followed in the empirical literature, that retailers may not be neutral pass-through intermediaries. We show that a data-set of an industry's product prices, quantities, and input prices over time is sufficient to identify the vertical model of retailers' and manufacturers' oligopoly-pricing behavior given nonlinear demand, for homogeneous-products industries, and given multi-product firms, for differentiated-products industries.

A 'DIFFERENTIAL' DIFFERENTIAL DEMAND SYSTEM
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mancuso,   Anthony J.
Traditionally, estimation of demand systems is predicated on the validity of several axioms of consumer behavior. While such abstractions make empirical work easier, they can also overlook important economic behavior. Because the price of a good does not reflect the total cost of purchase, there is reason to believe that consumer responses to changes in price are not continuous. Utilizing a regime switching model, we show that there are indeed important threshold effects, and that these effects bias elasticity estimates toward zero.

The influence of weight and fat on lamb prices revisited
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hufton,   Charlie; Griffith,   Garry R.; Mullen,   John D.
Previous research has found inconsistencies in the valuation of weight and fat characteristics of lamb carcasses between the saleyard and wholesale markets. In this paper, recent New South Wales saleyard and wholesale price data on different classes of lamb are analysed using hedonic methods to determine the relative influence of weight and fat on prices received. Fat score 2 lambs are heavily discounted relative to fat score 3 lambs, and there are significant seasonal price differentials, but there are no significant premiums or discounts for weight or other fat characteristics. These results hold for both the saleyard and wholesale markets. The implication is that the efficiency of price discovery in the Australian lamb market has improved a little in...

Forecasting has been very important in decision making at all levels and sectors of the economy.  In agriculture, where the decision environment is characterized by risks and uncertainty largely due to uncertain yields and relatively low price elasticities of demand of most commodities, decision makers require some information about the future and the likelihood of the possible future outcomes.  Forecast information serves many users.  Farmer's production and marketing decisions, for instance, are often based on some perspective of the likely pattern of price movements over the coming year.  Likewise, production prospects for the season are used by market intermediaries in coordinating their resources.  Outlook information about production and consumption...

The history of starvation in the world is very tightly linked with the history of humanity.  The problem of starvation was discussed in 1945 at the Worldwide Constitutional Conference of Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.  The main goal of the organization was and remains a food policy for the benefit of all, in order to liberate all people from starvation.   Since 1950, there has been a notable decrease in agricultural production per capita in the developing counties in comparison to the needs.  In 1972 and 1973, poor harvests created a dramatic situation in many regions of the world and once again it was in the developing countries where people suffered the most.  In the Sahel countries, many thousand of lives would have been lost...

Panel Data Estimation Methods on Supply and Demand Elasticities: The Case of Cotton in Greece
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kotakou,   Christina A.
This article examines the effects of the application of panel data estimation methods on a system of equations with unbalanced panel data. We apply pooled, random-effects, and fixed-effects estimation in three data sets: small, medium, and large farms to examine the relationship between farm size and the elasticity of cotton supply with respect to cotton price.  Our results indicate that the adoption of various estimation methods entails different estimated parameters both in terms of their absolute value and in terms of their statistical significance. Additionally, the elasticity of cotton supply with respect to price varies according to farm size.

Autores: Lichtenberg,   L.; Heidecke,   Sandra-Jasmin; Becker,   Tilman C.
The willingness-to-pay by German consumers for the credence characteristic traceability of pork and turkey is analysed by means of the conjoint analysis additive model, also taking the consumers´ associations with the term traceability and the QS label into account. The results indicate a different WTP regarding traceability of pork and turkey for specific consumer groups. A majority considers meat traceability as important. However, the distinctive sensitivity to price exhibited is a result of the fact that traceability is only of secondary importance as an assessment criterion, after price. Food retailers should adjust their communication and price policies in order to take advantage of the consumers’ higher WTP for traceable products according to the...

ALTERNATIVE MEASURES OF RISK IN COMMODITY SUPPLY MODELS: AN ANALYSIS OF SOW FARROWING DECISIONS IN THE UNITED STATES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Holt,   Matthew T.; Moschini,   GianCarlo.
The role of price risk in sow farrowings is investigated by using bivariate ARCH-M and GARCH-M models and a nonparametric kernel estimator. To account for the relevant time horizon of irreversible supply decisions, predictions for mean price and conditional price variance are iterated forward. The empirical results vary markedly in terms of their implications for risk response in hog supply decisions, with the ARCH-M and GARCH-M models suggesting a small and negative risk effect. Estimates of the marginal risk premium also indicate moderate and variable departures from marginal cost pricing in sow farrowing supply decisions.

Autores: Brannman,   Lance; Buongiorno,   Joseph; Fight,   Roger.
The purpose of this paper is to determine if there have been systematic changes in the characteristics of Douglas-fir stumpage sold on National Forests in the Pacific Northwest that would significantly bias the price of stumpage.  Four hedonic methods were used to develop indices of pure price change holding stumpage characteristics constant.  None indicated a significant trend in quality over the period 1968 to 1978.  Quality differences, however, appeared to play a role in the year-to-year price changes.  The advantage and inconveniences of each indexing method and their use for various purposes are discussed.

We extend the methodology of a two-step profit function to obtain area and yield elasticities.  We then estimate the effects of price and technology on crop output of France, Germany, and the UK. Area elasticities were obtained by adding area shadow price equations to the standard dual model of output and input equations. Change in output is dominated by technology in the UK and mixed in France and Germany.  The results indicate policies affecting price will have diverse responses across countries and crops.

Food security in Uganda: a dilemma to achieving the millennium development goal
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ssewanyana,   Sarah N.; Kasirye,   Ibrahim.
The status of food security in Uganda is worrying. The share of Ugandans suffering from food insecurity measured in terms of caloric intake is alarmingly high with low rates of income poverty. Based on the 2005/06 Uganda National Household Survey data, the study provides insights into access to food at household level. More importantly, the study shows that average caloric intake stood at 1,970 calories per person per day, which is below the minimum caloric requirement of 2,200 calories. As such, a population of 17.5 million Ugandans in 3.1 million households were unable to meet the minimum caloric requirement in 2006. This raises questions on whether Uganda will be able to achieve the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 1: halving extreme poverty and hunger...

ARE THE TOTAL DAILY COST OF FOOD AND DIET QUALITY RELATED: A RANDOM EFFECTS PANEL DATA ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Carlson,   Andrea; Dong,   Diansheng; Lino,   Mark.
There is a common perception that healthy food costs more than less healthy food. In this study we use a demand model for diet quality, rather than the quantity of food. Since in our data, total daily cost and diet quality are both calculated from the foods chosen, we account for the fact that cost is endogenous. We find that while total daily food cost is statistically significant in relation to diet quality, the degree of association is very small. Hence, it does not appear that cost alone prevents individuals in the United States from purchasing a healthy diet. Other factors such as food culture and environment, health behaviours, and demographics are more important. Our findings suggest that the choice to consume a healthy diet is very complicated.

THE DEMAND FOR SWEET SPREADS: DEMOGRAPHIC AND ECONOMIC EFFECTS FOR DETAILED COMMODITIES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Helen,   Dale; Willett,   Lois Schertz.
In this paper we estimate the price and income elasticities for five sweet spreads using a two-stage budgeting procedure.  The first stage modeled the consumer's budget decision as a Tobit model, where total sweet spread expenditures are based on income and demographic variables.  The second stage, including only those households with nonzero first stage expenditures, was treated as a standard consumer allocation problem using the AIDS model.  To incorporate population demographics, the AIDS model was expanded by specifying the constant term as a linear function of demographic variables.  The coefficients for the prices and expenditures are highly significant and demand is elastic for all five goods.  The most significant demographic effects are due to...

Participation, compliance and synergies at the farm level between the single payments scheme and farm certification labels
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Wieck,   Christine; Annen,   Dominic N.
Most European farmers receive direct payments under the Single Payment Scheme and in addition, are member of farm certification schemes. Incentives to participate in these schemes are manifold: farm requirements often at least partially overlap, farm structure allows rather easy compliance, but also low monitoring intensities, detection rates, or sanctions may contribute to “free ride” on participation. The paper develops a theoretical model that explains farmer’s joint compliance behaviour and determinants of participation and tests the model using individual farm survey data. Evidence from the survey indicates that farmers weigh the relevance of compliance, control, detection and sanctions differently for the Single Payment Scheme and farm certification...

Deficiencies of micronutrients such as vitamin A are widespread, expecially in Africa. Biofortified crops such as maize, bred for high levels of provitamin A might offer a solution, but these crops are often bright orange, and African maize consumers prefer white. To estimate the consumers interest in orange biofortified maize, sensory evaluations were organized in rural Ghana with white, yellow and orange maize. The effect of information on willingness to pay for biofortification was estimated using a simulated radio message. Results indicate that color preferences are highly regional, wide variation exist within regions, and the provision of information is able to change these preferences. The color of biofortified maize should therefore not be seen as...

Seven serious obstacles hinder the success of mass market grocery stores that try to succeed in the natural foods market. Finding timely and complete market information, linking with natural foods suppliers, and pricing and marketing natural foods are the three most important. Uncertainty about future standards for natural foods is the only major obstacle for natural foods stores. The problems facing mass market stores trying to succeed in the natural foods market are related to the market structure for natural food, to compatibility between standard operating procedures in the mass market and natural foods market, and to inadequate data collection about prices and other market characteristics. The problem for natural food stores is due to policy,...

The study assesses farmers’ perceptions and willingness to pay for a biopesticide developed from Metarhizium anisopliae a fungi. A sample of 400 conventional and organic cotton producers was randomly selected in cotton producing zones in Benin and interviewed for their perceptions on the efficacy of the biopesticide and the likely prices they are willing to pay for the product to control a major pest like Helicoverpa armigera or cotton bollworm causing substantial crop losses. An econometric model (Logit) is used to identify factors highly likely to affect farmer’s willingness to purchase the product. The results show that Helicoverpa armigera or cotton bollworm is perceived by farmers as the most severe pest with losses reaching up to 100%. Farmers...

This paper reports on the increased volatility in the milk price received by Flemish dairy farmers and its consequence on the risk profile of selected Flemish dairy farms. The volatility of the milk price has doubled since January 2007. It is suggested that this increasing volatility could have a significant impact on the risk profile of dairy farms. Indeed our results show that the risk profile is changing depending on the volatility and average price for milk. However this change is not very substantial compared to some other subsectors. Also we show that in our case study of selected farms that if the milk price volatility doubles an average milk price increase of about 12% compensates for the increased volatility on return on assets.

The vast differences in these foods quality parameters across different socioeconomic groups and regions in and around Hanoi city suggest the changing nature of the food quality with increased income and urbanization. One lesson learned from this analysis is that urbanization and increased income may not necessarily bring all positive changes in food quality.

The reduction of pesticides use is becoming a priority for the public authorities in many countries. We conducted an experiment with wine consumers to see whether end-consumers value the dissemination of information about environmentally-friendly production practices. The experiment was devised to (i) evaluate whether there is a premium for environmentally-friendly wines, (ii) determine whether or not consumers are sensitive to label owners who implement and guarantee the environmental actions, (iii) and assess the impact of public messages about the consequences of pesticide use. Some 139 participants were divided randomly into two groups. One group had no specific information about the current state of pesticide use in farming. The other group was given...

THE ROLE OF PRODUCTION METHODS IN FRUIT PURCHASING BEHAVIOUR: HYPOTHETICAL VS ACTUAL CONSUMERS’ PREFERENCES AND STATED MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Moser,   Riccarda; Raffaelli,   Roberta; Notaro,   Sandra.
In recent years, concerns for potential risks on human health related to the overuse of chemical pesticides have encouraged research of alternatives production methods as integrated pest management (IPM) and organic agriculture. Consumer preferences for these practices or for new product characteristics often have been evaluated using stated preference techniques such as Choice Experiment (CE). Nevertheless, it has been found that in these surveys respondents generally report higher hypothetical than real willingness to pay, providing the existence of the so-called “hypothetical bias”. While the presence of this bias has been widely reported in Contingent Valuation, its investigation in CE is still at the beginning. Moreover, in most of the cases, the...

RETAIL FOOD PRICE FORECASTING AT ERS:  THE PROCESS, METHODOLOGY, AND PERFORMANCE FROM 1984 TO 1997
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Joutz,   Frederick L.; Trost,   Robert P.; Hallahan,   Charles B.; Clauson,   Annette L.; Denbaly,   Mark.
Forecasting retail food prices has become increasingly important to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).  This is due to the changing structure of food and agricultural economies and the important signals the forecasts provide to farmers, processors, wholesalers, consumers, and policymakers.  The American food system is going through fundamental structural changes.  It is unclear how these changes will affect the cyclical variation of food price markups and translate into changes in retail food prices. The only government entity that systematically examines food prices and provides food price forecasts (on an annual basis) is the Economic Research Service, and agency of USDA.  This report explains the ERS procedures in forecasting food prices and...

Decomposing Changes in Agricultural Price Gaps
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Liefert,   William M.
The paper develops a procedure for decomposing changes in agricultural price gaps, defined as the difference between a commodity's domestic producer and border prices. Two decomposition approaches are presented, depending on whether policy allows transmission from changes in trade prices and exchange rates to domestic prices. The methods allow one to isolate and measure the effect on the price gap of changes in agricultural policy versus non-policy variables. The decomposition procedure is demonstrated in an example involving the price gap for Russian poultry in the late 1990s. The results are consistent with the argument that for developing and transition economies, the main cause of changes in price gaps is incomplete transmission of changes in exchange...

Temporal Insensitivity of Willingness to Pay: How do they evaluate in CVM?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kim,   Sooil; Haab,   Timothy C.
In addition to scope and scale embedding effects, temporal insensitivity of willingness to pay, also known as temporal embedding effect, has been a well known anomaly in eliciting willingness to pay for environmental quality change, especially over time. Stevens et al. (1997) defines two types of temporal embedding effects: strong insensitivity and weak insensitivity to payment schedule. This paper proposes an alternative definition of the temporal insensitivity. Temporal insensitivity implies that a subject in the survey responds consistently to value elicitation questions regardless of payment schemes. The sequential test tests the temporal insensitivity using the oyster reef restoration programs in Chesapeake Bay. Test results show that willingness to...

Autores: Goddard,   Ellen W.; Boxall,   Peter C.; Emunu,   John Paul; Boyd,   Curtis; Asselin,   Andre; Neall,   Amanda.
The Canadian egg industry has introduced a number of specialty eggs, including Omega-3, organic, free run/range, vitamin enhanced and vegetarian over the past few decades. These eggs are generally sold at prices higher than the ‘normal’ egg and there has been little analysis of the consumer awareness of and interest in purchasing these eggs. All previous econometric analysis of the Canadian egg market has assumed eggs and consumers are homogeneous. This study makes use of Stated preference and Revealed preference data to model the consumer interest in the different egg types. Stated preference surveys were conducted in two separate years: 2005 during which consumers were surveyed on their interest in Omega-3 and Vitamin Enhanced eggs relative to ‘normal’...

Autores: Welch,   J. Mark; Lyford,   Conrad P.
Increasing competition from foreign manufacturers threatens the viability of textile producers in the United States. This paper evaluates the U.S. competitive position in the cotton yarn segment using established quantifiable measures and provides an overall competitive assessment. The measures employed show the United States to be at a relative competitive disadvantage when compared to major international producers of cotton yarn. However, the margin of this competitive disadvantage is shown to be relatively small and in some cases, decreasing.

Autores: Liu,   Pengcheng; Huang,   Chung-Huang; Feng,   Zhongchao; Zhou,   Deyi.
With the development of the biotechnology, more and more GM foods enter the food chain of the mankind. What are the consumers’ attitudes toward those foods? And what are their requirements for safety management derived from the emerging of those foods? By conducting a survey in Wuhan with a sample of 621 correspondents, the study collects the correspondents’ attitudes on GM foods and expectations on safety managements for those foods, and analyses impacts of consumers’ general preferences, specific perceptions on GM foods, and the special labeling usage behavior both on the attitudes formation in GM labeling and on the labeling choices using MNL models. The paper further proposes some suggestions in GM foods safety management based on the modeling results.

The restricted source differentiated almost ideal demand system (RSDAIDS) is used to estimate the parameters of the Japanese and South Korean source differentiated meat demand models. Expenditure and own-price elasticities indicate that Japanese beef, Canadian and Danish pork, and Brazilian and Thai poultry have a competitive advantage in Japan. The BSE outbreak in Japan decreased the shares of Japanese and U.S. beef. Regarding South Korea, the results indicate that imported beef from the U.S. and Australia, Danish pork, and South Korean and Thai poultry have a competitive advantage. The U.S. BSE outbreak decreased the market shares of U.S. beef in the South Korean beef market.

Gorman's theory of demand is extended comprehensively to incomplete systems. The incomplete systems approach dramatically increases this class of models. The separate roles of symmetry and adding up are identified in the rank and the functional form of this class of models. We show that symmetry determines rank and the maximum rank is three. We show that adding up and 0o homogeneity determines the functional form and there is no functional form restriction for an incomplete system. We prove that every full rank system and reduced rank systems with a minimal level of degeneracy can be written as a polynomial in a single function of income. A complete set of closed form solutions for the indirect objective functions of this class of models is derived. A...

Autores: Kola,   Jukka; Latvala,   Terhi.
The recent food crises in Europe have raised public concerns about the quality and safety of food. The growing concern among the consumers towards food safety issues has increased the demand for quality attributes. Most quality properties of food products can be considered as credence characteristics, quality of which cannot be inferred before the purchase, and sometimes not even after the purchase.  The aim of this study is to evaluate, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the value of new information about and the information systems set for credence characteristics of beef.  Economics of information is the theoretical framework. The quantitative approach focuses to measure the ex ante value of credence characteristics, and the method of contingent...

Several agro-ecological practices have been developed to increase the range of soil fertility management options available to farmers, but little information is available on their labour input requirement and profitability relative to conventional practices. This study used a multiple visit cost-route method to estimate labour inputs and financial profitability of agroforestry-based and conventional (with and without fertiliser) soil fertility management practices in eastern Zambia. Results show that aggregated over a five-year cycle, labour inputs used under agroforestry practices were lower than fertilised maize fields but higher than non-fertilised continuous cropped maize. Agroforestry practices were more profitable (NPV ranging between $233 and $327...

DEMAND, SUPPLY AND PRICE PREDICTION OF RICE IN TAIWAN FROM 1976 TO 1985
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lee,   Wun-Chi.
Taiwan is located in the subtropical area of the Far East.  With the benefit of suitable weather, average temperature just under 71 F in the north and nearly 76 F in the south, and with the yearly precipitation around 75 inches, rice has been the self sufficient staff crop in Taiwan.  Even in the early eighteenth century, Taiwan exported rice to support the supply in Mainland China.  Rice is a necessity for Taiwanese.  A sufficient supply and stabilization of its price are relevant to the whole economy and society.  Because of the development of industry and economic growth, a lot of cultivated land has been transferred from rice production to industrial or architectural utilization under the principle of comparative advantage since 1958.  The benefit per...

Autores: Molle,   Francois; Renwick,   Mary E.
The Uda Walawe Irrigation and Resettlement Project (UWIRP) located in the Southern dry zone of Sri Lanka was initiated in the early 1950s. The original plan for the UWIRP was a highly ambitious social, economic and physical engineering project aimed at creating a modern, profitable agriculture sector. This report examines the history of water resources development and investment decisions for the UWIRP over a period of 50 years and uncovers underlying processes that shaped the evolution of the project and highlights the limitation of viewing development as a mere set of technical and social engineering endeavors.

Autores: Ishdorj,   Ariun; Jensen,   Helen H.
When using household-level data to examine consumer demand it is common to find that consumers purchase only a subset of the available goods, setting the demand for the remaining goods to zero. Ignoring such censoring of the dependent variables can lead to estimators with poor statistical properties and estimates that lead to poor policy decisions. In this paper we investigate household demand for four types of breakfast cereals, such as whole grain ready-to-eat, non-whole grain ready-to-eat, whole grain hot and non-whole grain hot cereals, using a censored Al- most Ideal Demand System (AIDS) and estimate the parameters of the model via Bayesian methods.

Very little is known about changes in the demand characteristics of food in New Zealand. As far as we can determine, there has never been a complete disaggregated food demand model estimated for New Zealand. The object of this paper is to update these estimates using more recent data to see whether there are grounds for believing that the structural changes that occurred primarily during the last two decades are having effects on the magnitude of food demand elasticities in New Zealand. To this end, a Rotterdam food demand system is estimated using time series data. The results indicate that over the last 20 years, household consumption has increased for fruit and vegetables, poultry, food eaten away from home, and sweet products, drinks and other foods....

THE EFFECT OF CALIFORNIA WEATHER CONDITIONS ON PRICE PREMIA FOR ORGANICALLY GROWN VEGETABLES IN THE UNITED STATES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ro,   Eunjik; Frechette,   Darren L.
Organic vegetable producers typically earn a premium over conventional producers to cover the added costs of organic production.  The premium can vary greatly, making organic vegetable farming riskier than conventional farming and causing potential financial problems for new organic farming enterprises.  Further, organic vegetable production is geographically concentrated in California, and the variation in organic price premia depends upon regional production factors, especially weather conditions.  This study examines the relationship between organic vegetable price premia and California weather conditions near organic vegetable farms.  Analysis is based on a unique data set of daily prices from the Boston Terminal Wholesale Market and California weather...

Will Fat Taxes Cause Americans to Become Fatter? Some Evidence from US Meats
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Clark,   J. Stephen; Levedahl,   J. William.
Price and income elasticities of fat from meats are estimated by decomposing composite demand for meat into the produ ct of total calories, the fraction of calories eat as fat, and a residual measure of quality. This demand-characteristic system provides estimates of the impact of prices and income on the fraction of calories eaten as fat as well as their affect on the total consumption of fat. Empirical estimates of the comp ensated own-price elasticities of meats suggest that a fat tax designed to raise revenues to finance nutritional education efforts may increase the total consumption of fat.

‘GMO-Free’ Labels – Enhancing Transparency or Deceiving Consumers?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Henseleit,   Meike; Kubitzki,   Sabine.
Since most consumers particularly in industrialised countries are concerned about the application of genetic engineering in food production, producers in many nations got the opportunity to label products as free of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) by the introduction of legal regulations. Standards of these regulations for labelling food products ‘GMO-free’ usually relate to product itself, not to the process of production. Therefore, it is quite possible that consumers’ understanding of ‘GMO-free’ differs from what the label actually stands for, especially regarding animal products. We conducted a consumer survey in order to explore potential gaps between their ideas of ‘GMO-free’ food and what the label actually stands for at the example of the...

IMPACT OF SPATIAL PRICE DISCRIMINATION WITHIN FLORIDA DAIRY COOPERATIVES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Nubern,   Christopher A.; Kilmer,   Richard L.
The trend toward deregulation and the relatively high prices in the Florida milk market have increased competition for milk supplies between Florida dairy cooperatives (FDCs) and other cooperatives like Dairymen Incorporated and Southern Milk Sales.  Because of the increased competition in the Florida markets, the FDCs may need to implement a discriminatory spatial pricing policy.  The discriminatory pricing policy allows the FDCs to expand their membership by absorbing some of the transportation cost of producers in distant locations that would otherwise be independent producers or members of competing cooperatives.  Spatial pricing policies are analyzed to determine the effects of discriminatory pricing on the blend price, average aggregate revenue of...

Autores: Bojnec,   Stefan; Munch,   Wolfgang; Swinnen,   Johan F.M.
Exchange rates were heavily distorted under the central planning system in Central and Eastern Europe and are still adjusting in the transition process.  The use of nominal exchange rates introduces a bias for international price comparisons and in calculations based on them. We present various exchange rates and discuss their relevance and usefulness for CEEC economic transition studies. We show that calculations of agricultural price distortions, protection rates and budgetary costs of EU-CEEC accession are sensitive to the exchange rate assumptions.  More specifically, our simulations of EU-CEEC integration effects show that net exports are substantially smaller and budgetary costs less under the assumption of continued real appreciation of the CEC-4...

ISSUES OF DEMAND SPECIFICATION AND INDUSTRY STRUCTURE IN TURKEYS AND BROILER CHICKENS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cheney,   Laura Martin; Brown,   A. Blake; Yamano,   Takashi; Masterovsky,   Michael.
Factors unique to the turkey industry suggest that conclusions concerning market structure and demand specification drawn from aggregate poultry data cannot necessarily be extrapolated to the turkey industry.  The Wu-Hausman endogeneity test is used to examine demand specifications and industry structure specifically for turkey meat.  In contrast to general poultry, quantity-not price-is found to be predetermined in demand models that use annual turkey data.  Quarterly demand analysis suggests this result stems from biological cycles that limit a producer's ability to react to price change and the use of a weighted average for determining price and quantity.

The Impact of Gasoline Prices on Internet Purchases
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Martens,   Andrea.
The proposition of a carbon tax has reinvigorated the discussion about the price elasticity of gasoline demand. This paper analyzes how consumers react to higher gas prices in a new setting, examining whether they choose Internet purchasing over in-store purchasing when gas prices increase. Prior studies of Internet purchases have focused mainly on local sales tax rates, traditional retail options, and prices. This is the first study to incorporate transportation costs directly, studying 155,000 households across the U.S. from 2008 through 2009. The impact of gas prices on individuals' transportation budget depends on the fuel efficiency of their vehicles, on the distance that they need to drive, and on the availability of alternate public transportation...

Can German Wine Cooperatives Compete on Quality?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Schamel,   Guenter.
The German Agricultural Society (DLG) manages a multi-round annual quality control scheme where wines undergo a blind, sensory testing procedure using a 5-point scale to determine superior quality wines worthy of an annual award (Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Gold Extra). We develop a hedonic model for the 2005 award competition estimating implicit prices for different product attributes including sensory awards, quality categories, and wine style. We also control for regional origin, variety, color, and age. To discern the impact of ownership structure, we distinguish cooperatives and private wineries. Silver and Bronze awards show significant price effects relative to Gold. We also estimate highly significant price effects between quality categories (e.g....

PRICE AND VALUE EFFECTS OF PECAN CROP FORECASTS, 1971-1987
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Shafer,   Carl E.
Price equations incorporating USDA October crop forecasts and June pecan stocks provided reasonable formulations for pecan price explanation and forecasting. USDA crop forecasts exceeded final reported production in 12 of the 18 seasons from 1970 to 1987, probably resulting in slightly lower prices and crop values. Large crop forecast errors in both direction and level in 1986 and 1987 confounded the price determination process. Nevertheless, producer prices may have been lower absent the October crop forecasts, which somewhat reduce buyers' uncertainty regarding supply. Early crop estimates provided a better explanation of price behavior than postseason revised production data.

DEMAND DRIVERS FOR FRESH-CUT FLOWERS AND THEIR SUBSTITUTES: AN APPLICATION OF HOUSEHOLD EXPENDITURE ALLOCATION MODELS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Girapunthong,   Napaporn; Ward,   Ronald W.
Flowers are purchased for a variety of reasons ranging from expressions of love or sympathy to satisfying environmental and beautification goals.  Unlike many foods where some of the attributes can be quantitatively measured such as grams of fat in meats and milligrams of cholesterol in fluid milk, these aesthetically pleasing products present an array of attributes that are closely tied to the buyer’s reasons for making the purchase.  Clearly the attributes are fundamentally different since the goal associated with the purchase depends on the buyer’s objectives.  This also implies that the demand for such products should be much more closely tied to the characteristics for the buyers and the reasons for buying.  Flowers are not absolutely essential for...

This study examines demand for fruits and vegetables segmented by income levels in a complete demand system framework using the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CEX) from 2002 to 2006. Results show that disparities are found between high-income households and low-income households. Seasonal effects and demographic variables, such as household heads’ race and gender, region, household size and household composition, play an important role in fruit and vegetable consumption for both categories of household. In contrast, urban status, household heads’ educational level and age are not found to have a statistically significant impact for low-income households. Conditional price elasticities indicate that processed fruits and vegetables, fresh fruits and fresh...

Examining long-run relationships between Australian beef prices
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chang,   Hui-Shung (Christie); Griffith,   Garry R.
Cointegration and impulse response analyses are used to investigate the short‐run and long‐run dynamics of the Australian beef market. The aim of this study is to determine whether long‐run relationships existed between Australian beef prices at the farm, wholesale and retail levels. Based on monthly data from 1971 to 1994, the results show that all three prices considered are cointegrated. Furthermore, the wholesale price is found to be weakly exogenous. The latter result might be an indication of market inefficiency due in part to price levelling often practised in the beef marketing system.

Cotton Futures Dynamics: Structural Change, Index Traders and the Returns to Storage
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Power,   Gabriel J.; Robinson,   John R.C.
The commodity bull cycle of 2006-2008 and subsequent dramatic price decline have been a source of hardship for traditional commodity market participants such as producers and merchant/shippers. The usefulness of futures markets has been called into question, especially given that some market movements did not appear to be justified by economic fundamentals. An emerging research literature examines the possible influence of futures traders, and particularly the non-traditional Index Traders, on the well-functioning of futures markets and underlying commodity markets. Cotton is a relatively under-studied commodity that is of particular importance for producers in the South and Southwest. To this end, this paper asks the following questions: (1) What role...

Autores: Dhar,   Tirtha Pratim; Chavas,   Jean-Paul; Cotterill,   Ronald W.; Gould,   Brian W.
Market structure and strategic pricing for leading brands sold by Coca Cola and Pepsi Inc. are investigated in the context of a flexible demand specification and structural price equations. This approach is more general than prior studies that rely upon linear approximations and interactions of an inherently nonlinear problem. We test for Bertrand equilibrium, Stackelberg equilibrium, collusion, and a general conjectural variation (CV) specification. This nonlinear Full Information Maximum Likelihood (FIML) estimation approach provides useful information on the nature of imperfect competition and the extent of market power.

World Soybean Demand: An Elasticity Analysis and Long-Term Projections
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Masuda,   Tadayoshi; Goldsmith,   Peter D.
Soybeans are one of the most valuable crops in the world and are characterized by their multi-purpose uses: food, feed, fuel and other industrial usages such as paint, inks, and plastics.  Out of 183.9 million tons of world supply/demand of soybeans in 2001-03 year, about 10% of them were directly consumed as food (5.9%) or feed (3.8%) but 84.2% of them were crushed into soyoil and soymeal.  Soyoil is mainly processed to vegetable oil for human consumption and recently used as a biodiesel feedstock.  Soymeal is used not only as feed for livestock (especially for pork and poultry due to its low fiber level) and aquaculture, but also as a good source of protein for the human diet in a variety of forms in different cultures.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jesse,   Edward V.; Schuelke,   Jacob.
Despite the growing volume, trading in milk remains small in comparison to grain and livestock. Part of the reason for limited trading volume is that dairy futures trading is very new compared to grain and livestock trading. There is less experience with risk management strategies and a much smaller research base with respect to basis relationships and price forecasting. Dairy farmers are still "feeling their way."  The purpose of this study is to provide a systematic, user-friendly method for forecasting Class III and Class IV prices. The user is allowed to vary regional milk production and stocks of manufactured dairy products to evaluate the sensitivity of point estimates. A sequential process is developed to predict Class III milk prices up to 12...

Do the Scandinavian consumers pay a ‘fair’ price for premium German white wines?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bentzen,   Jan; Smith,   Valdemar.
The aim of this paper is to analyse the retail prices of premium German white wines sold in the Scandinavian countries. German white wines account for approximately 5-6 per cent of the total sale of wines – both red and white wines - in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. However, the market shares of German wines in Scandinavia have been declining for a number of years. Diminishing market shares may reflect changes in consumer taste or simply ‘wrong’ prices, the latter related to both the level of wine prices (German wines being relatively expensive) and the structure of wine prices. In general, country-specific price differences for identical wines may be caused by differences in taxes, different import prices, transportation costs as well as other costs - and...

Red, white and 'green': the cost of carbon in the global  wine trade
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Colman,   Tyler; Paster,   Pablo.
Climate change is altering a wide range of human activities, including wine making. While wine may appear to be one of the most natural alcoholic beverages, it is not without carbon inputs and emissions, which contribute to the very change in climate that is altering both wine and wine making. In this paper, we use a carbon life cycle analysis to develop a model for quantifying carbon inputs in a bottle of wine. Current regulatory arrangements do not capture the carbon costs of wine effectively since most costs are externalized. We conclude with estimates of the cost of carbon under various regulatory regimes, which suggest how wine producers and consumers can reduce the carbon footprint of wine.

Testing the Theory: Vertical Strategic Interaction and Demand Functional Form

Formulating theoretical models inevitably requires various simplifications that assist in making analysis tractable and that facilitate deriving closed form solutions. While the strategic insights gained from theoretical models of market phenomena are often quite valuable, testing the theoretical assumptions made in these models can aid in assessing the broader applicability of the conclusions drawn. This is particularly true in the channels area, where the focus of research to date has largely been theoretical in nature. In an initial attempt to examine some of the assumptions made in previous theoretical research (e.g., Jeuland and Shugan 1983, McGuire and Staelin 1983, Choi 1991, Raju, Sethuraman and Dhar 1995), we focus on a limited set of issues....

Harvest-Time Protein Shocks and Price Adjustment in U.S. Wheat Markets
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Goodwin,   Barry K.; Smith,   Vincent H.
Dynamic relationships between three classes of wheat are investigated using threshold VAR models incorporating the effects of protein availability. Changes in the stock of protein are found to generate significant impulse responses in the price of hard spring red wheat and hard red winter wheat but not soft red wheat. These impulse responses to identical changes in protein stocks are larger when the absolute deviations of protein stocks from normal levels are large. Shocks to the prices of individual classes of wheat result in complex impulse responses in the prices of the other wheats. Notably, however, a shock to the price of hard red winter wheat appears to result in little or no impluse response in the price of hard spring wheat, though, importantly,...

Regional prices also were found to be interdependent.  This suggests that increasing regional meat packer concentration may not grant meat packers increased regional market power in their pricing practices.

COMPARISONS OF HISPANIC HOUSEHOLDS' DEMAND FOR MEATS WITH OTHER ETHNIC GROUPS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lanfranco,   Bruno A.; Ames,   Glenn C.W.; Huang,   Chung L.
The objective of this research was to analyze the demand patterns of Hispanic households for meats in comparison with other ethnic groups using data from the 1998 Consumer Expenditure Survey.  A system of demand equations of the LinQuad form were estimated for ten meat products using an incomplete system of censored equations.  Hispanic households showed a clear preference for beef.  Price, income, and household-size elasticities were estimated for each meat product by ethnic group.  The demand for ground beef was the most income-inelastic product regardless of ethnicity.  Household size had a positive effect on the probability of consuming a particular meat product but a negative effect on actual item expenditures.

Consumer concerns regarding food safety can have substantial impacts on their consumption patterns. Thus, understanding consumer response to food safety information is important for quantifying consumer response to food safety events, predicting market impacts, and developing appropriate risk communication strategies. Flexible demand systems have gained much popularity in analyzing effects of food safety outbreaks on consumer demand because of their ability to capture interactions between the demand for substitutable and complementary goods. Using Italian scanner data on meat sales, we show the economic importance of accounting for the impact of avian flu outbreaks on group expenditures for meats in a dynamic Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) specification...

A capitalization approach is used to estimate econometrically the effects of exchange rate, interest rate and tax law changes on thoroughbred yearling prices.  The analysis found that exchange rate and tax law changes have significantly influenced yearling prices since the early 1980s.  Another serious price-reducing event was the 1986 tax law change.  Both of these factors have counteracted the positive impact of increased purse rates on yearling prices.

We estimate the demand for imported cotton in China and assess the competitiveness of cotton-exporting countries. Given the assertion that African cotton producers are ill affected by U.S. cotton subsidies, our focus is the price competition between the C4 countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad and Mali) and United States in China. Demand estimates are used to project how U.S. prices affect China’s imports by country. In comparing demand projections, results show that the relationship between the United States and the C4 has more to do with how U.S. prices can affect global prices rather than any substitute or competitive relationship in the Chinese market.

Structural change in meat consumption has been the focus of many researchers during the last two decades.  In this paper we develop a dynamic linear Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) model from a cost function that allows for time varying parameters.  This model is consistent with inertia in the parameters of the cost and indirect utility functions.  It allows for persistent preferences which may arise from cultural biases, lifestyles, peer pressure, etc.  An empirical application is conducted with US meat consumption and price data using a generalized system of flexible least squares, Generalized Flexible Least Squares (GFLS).  GFLS allows parameters to evolve slowly over time through incorporating of penalties in fluctuations.  Estimated quarterly...

Autores: Bakucs,   Lajos Zoltan; Ferto,   Imre; Szabo,   Gabor G.
In this paper we analyse price transmission for the carrot, parsley, tomato, green pepper and potato markets. Although there is a dual farm structure dominated by small individual farms, our results imply that price information flows from the producer to the retail level for potatoes, parsley and carrots. Our results also suggest that farmers do not merely accept prices, but can actually influence market prices. Tomato and green pepper prices have large transmission elasticities, and causality runs from the retail to producer level. It therefore follows that tomato and green pepper producers tend to accept prices and that the sector’s prices are determined by upper market levels (processors, wholesalers, retailers). These results are reinforced by the fact...

This paper investigates the relationships between country of origin labeling (COOL) issues and consumers concern about safety and health towards using of foreign produce. Results show that those who were married, self employed, had higher incomes, or possessed more education were more likely to support COOL. A consumer survey showed that about 84% of respondents overall, and more specifically, about 84% of female and 83% of male respondents would like markets to provide information about country of origin of fresh produce. The result also shows that about 73% of respondents regularly read food advertisements in newspapers and grocery brochures.

This paper presents estimates of the economic and demographic effects on the demand for steak, roast, and ground beef. Using an almost ideal demand system, the results indicate that demand is inelastic for steak and ground beef, elastic for roast, cross-price effects are significant, and all goods are Hicks-Allen substitutes. The impact of certain demographic effects, such as household size, region, tenancy, and ethnic origin, was generally quite significant. Other demographic variables, such as employment status, shopper, and occupation, were generally not significant.

Autores: Lim,   Kar Ho; Maynard,   Leigh J.; Hu,   Wuyang; Goddard,   Ellen W.
The mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) troubles beef exporters to the U.S. This study evaluates the extent that U.S. consumers are receptive to imported steak and their perception of food safety level of beef from various countries. In addition, using conjoint analysis, willingness to pay for strip loin steak from Australia, Canada and the United States is estimated along with several increasingly important food safeties and quality attributes in beef. We find that on average U.S. consumers are willing to pay significantly less for imported steaks.

The Almost Ideal Demand System Approximation and Separability
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Brown,   Mark G.; Lee,   Jonq-Ying.
The paper focuses on separability in the almost ideal demand system (AIDS) in time series analysis.  The AIDS approximation based on Stone's price index is specified in terms of the Rotterdam model and block additivity is imposed for illustrative purposes.  A generalization to other types of separability is then considered.  The model can be viewed as an extension to Theil et al.'s Working-PI time series model.  In both the Theil et al. model and the AIDS model examined here, the marginal propensity to spend on a good is allowed to depend on the good's budget share.  In the model in this paper, the Slutsky coefficients are further allowed to depend on the budget shares.  The model provides a consistent way to analyze subgroup demand relationships.

USING LINKED HOUSEHOLD-LEVEL DATASETS TO EXPLAIN CONSUMER RESPONSE TO BSE IN CANADA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Wang,   Xin; Maynard,   Leigh J.; Butler,   J.S.
Household-level Canadian meat purchases from 2002-2008 and the Food Opinion Survey conducted in 2008 were used to explore consumer responses to Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) at the national level in Canada. Three measures of beef purchased were used to understand consumers‟ reaction under food risk. A random effects Logit model was applied to test whether any beef was purchased during a given month. Consumption in terms of unit purchases was measured with a random effects Negative Binomial model and consumption in terms of beef expenditure was measured with a standard random effects model. In this study, household heterogeneity in actual meat purchases was partially explained using data from a self-reported food opinions survey. Of special...

CAN FOOD PROCESSORS USE CONTRACTS TO INFLUENCE FARM CASH PRICES? THE COMPETITIVE IMPLICATIONS OF TOP-OF-THE-MARKET AND RELATED PRICING CLAUSES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Xia,   Tian; Sexton,   Richard J.
When contract production is marketed contemporaneously with production sold through a spot market, it is conveninet to specify the contract price in terms of the subsequent cash price.  This paper examines the competitive implications of such pricing arrangements, focusing in particular upon so-called "top-of-the-market (TOMP) pricing in cattle procurement, wherein the contract guarantees the producer the highest cash price prevailing at the time of delivery. We show that these contracts have anticompetitive consequences when the same buyers who purchase cattle with the TOMP clause also compete to procure cattle in the subsequent spot market.  By committing to purchase cattle at a price to be determined later, beef packers' incentives to compete...

What are the Economic Prospects of Developing Aquaculture in Queensland to Supply the Low Price White Fillet Market? Lessons from the US Channel Catfish Industry
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lyster,   Thorbjorn.
The farming of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) is the largest (by volume and value) and most successful (in terms of market impact) aquaculture industry in the United States of America. Farmed channel catfish is the most consumed (in terms of volume per capita) fish fillet in the U.S. market. Within Australia, it has long been suggested by researchers and industry that silver perch (Bidyanus bidyanus) and possibly other endemic teraponid species possess similar biological attributes for aquaculture as channel catfish and may have the potential to generate a similar industry. The current teraponid industry in Australia, however, shows very little resemblance to the catfish industry, either in production style or market philosophy.   A well established...

A DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF US EXPORT WHEAT PRICING AND MARKET SHARES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ahmadi-Esfahani,   Fredoun Z.; Carter,   Colin A.
The economics of a higher loan rate to support US wheat prices is analysed. Utilising optimal control theory, a dynamic wheat trade model is developed. The basic premise underlying the model is that the United States finds itself having transient monopoly power in the wheat market. An expression for the optimal pricing policy which maximises the present value of expected profits over the indefinite future is derived. Results from both the theoretical and empirical models demonstrate that the US wheat pricing strategy depends on its costs relative to competitors' costs, the discount rate and the competitors' response function. The main policy implication of the analysis is for the dominant wheat exporting country constantly to seek to lower costs relative...

IMPORTANCE OF MELON TYPE, SIZE, GRADE, CONTAINER, AND SEASON IN DETERMINING MELON PRICES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Tronstad,   Russell.
Classification and Regression Trees (CART), a computer intensive nonparametric classification method, was used to model weekly Los Angeles wholesale prices (1990-93) for twelve different melon types. CART explained more of the variation in melon prices than did an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression with dummy variables. Explanatory variables ranked as the most-to-least important by CART are as follows: week, type of melon, year, size, grade, and shipping container. The most notable price change occurs when prices fall after 13 May.

Understanding Spatial Welfare Impacts of a Grain Ethanol Plant
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Van Wart,   Justin; Perrin,   Richard K.
A changing world of increasing complexity, fluctuating prices, high energy costs and limited data necessitate creative blending of economic theory and available empirical statistics to understand the welfare impacts in a specific market.  In this paper, a programming approach is used in tandem with spatial economic theory to understand the spatial welfare impacts of an ethanol plant established in an area with a beef feeding industry.  The study concludes that corn transportation costs are less significant in plant pricing strategy than originally identified by other studies.  Local ethanol plant competition is found to explain the lower-than-feed value pricing of ethanol byproducts at the plant.  In the study, average welfare effects are calculated for...

Retail Dairy Prices Fluctuate with the Farm Value of Milk
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
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.

Pricing, Distribution and Adoption of Genetically Modified Seeds under Alternative Information Regimes
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Basu,   Arnab K.; Qaim,   Matin.
This paper considers genetically modified (GM) seed adoption decisions by farmers in a developing country under two alternative information regimes (with and without perfect information regarding production conditions) that allows the monopolist producer of GM seeds to either practice perfect discrimination or uniform pricing. Under each regime we analyze two scenarios: when the government can and cannot credibly commit to the announced form of welfare enhancing intervention in the domestic seed market. We show that the optimal policy under either information regime is to subsidize the price of conventional seeds. The optimal size of the conventional seed subsidy depends systematically, in turn, on the (i) marginal cost of GM and conventional seeds, (ii)...

This study formulates and estimates a six-equation model for canned cling peaches and fruit cocktail in which processors are viewed as price setters, with qualities not sold at the set price carried over to the next year.  The system consists of two price-markup equations, two quantity-dependent demand equations and two inventory change identities.  The three-stage least squares estimation results tend to support the behavioral hypotheses.

CHINESE CONSUMER DEMAND FOR ANIMAL PRODUCTS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR U.S. PORK AND POULTRY EXPORTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Wang,   Qingbin; Fuller,   Frank H.; Hayes,   Dermot J.; Halbrendt,   Catherine K.
This paper examines Chinese consumer preference for major animal products and assesses the potential impacts of a reduction in China's import tariff on its pork and poultry demand and net import.  Our analysis suggests that China's demand for animal products will continue to grow as income increases.  Using a trade model, results of our scenario analysis indicate that a reduction in China's import tariffs will significantly increase its net pork and poultry imports and the U.S. will capture most of the increases.  Nevertheless, the impact on the market price in China and the U.S. is likely to be very small.

AN ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF MARKET LIBERALIZATION ON PRICE DYNAMICS AND PRICE VOLATILITY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chavas,   Jean-Paul; Kim,   Kwansoo.
The paper investigates price dynamics under market liberalization, with a focus on the effects of lowering price floors. We analyze price dynamics by specifying and estimating a dynamic Tobit model under time-varying volatility, where the market price is censored by a government-set support price. The model is applied to the U.S. butter market over the last three decades. The econometric results show how the price support program affects both expected prices and the volatility of prices. It is found that the censoring effects of a price support program can be significant and large even if the price support is set relatively low.

Integrating Small Scale Farmers into Bread Wheat Marketing Chain through Contract Farming in Ethiopia
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Getaneh,   Wubalem; Bekabil,   Fufa.
The treatment effect censored regression model results of this study showed that educational level, value of agricultural equipment and number of oxen owned affected the participation decisions of the farmers in bread wheat contract farming significantly. The most important factors that determine gross margin obtained from bread wheat production were contract farming experience, the number of oxen owned and participation in contract farming. However, technical efficiency differences and management practices followed were not the reasons for differences in gross margin between the participant and non-participant farmers.

Dynamic and Asymmetric Adjustment in Beef and Pork Prices
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hahn,   William F.
Beef and pork prices at farm, wholesale and retail are examined for evidence of a dynamic and asymmetric price transmission using an endogenous switching model.  Dynamic adjustment means that it take time for prices to adjust to changes in the market.  Price transmission is asymmetric if the speed or completeness of price adjustment depends on the direction that the price or a related price is moving.  Some of the previous research on price transmission in agricultural markets attempts to use market power abuses as an explanation of price-transmission asymmetry.  Other research shows that price transmission asymmetry can arise in competitive markets and that competitive and anti-competitive issues can make prices adjust faster upwards or downwards.   By...

Empirical Analysis of Competitive Interaction in Food Product Categories
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Putsis,   William P., Jr.
This paper provides an overview of recent research on estimating competitive interaction in food product categories. In particular, the focus of this review is on research using scanner data conducted at the disaggregate (e.g., store, chain or local market) level, including empirical studies of vertical (i.e., within-channel) conduct. Studies addressing the competitive interaction on price, as well as non-price variables (e.g., in-store display and feature advertising) are considered. The author first describes the methodologies available for measuring the competitive interaction between firms and then briefly summarizes recent empirical developments. Given the complexity of the interactions that take place in practice, it is argued that much of the...

AN ANALYSIS OF THE RETIREMENT-CONSUMPTION PUZZLE FOR FOOD-AT-HOME AND AWAY-FROM-HOME EXPENDITURES IN GERMANY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Drescher,   Larissa S.; Roosen,   Jutta.
According to Ando and Modigliani (1957), consumers pass different stages of a lifecycle with different impact on demand. The criticism that the life-cycle theory neglects generational effects and concentrates on ageing effects only has led to the application of the cohort analysis which decomposes not only age, but also period and cohort effects. Following these ideas, this paper presents results of a cohort analysis on food-at-home and away-from-home consumption covering 25 years of German consumption data. Special attention is given to the retirement-consumption puzzle which is the unanticipated drop in consumption after retirement. Results of seemingly unrelated regressions indicate that there are significant age, period and cohort effects of...

Farm Commodity Policy and Obesity
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Alston,   Julian M.; Okrent,   Abigail M.
Many commentators have claimed that farm subsidies have contributed significantly to the “obesity epidemic” by making fattening foods relatively cheap and abundant and, symmetrically, that taxing “unhealthy” commodities or subsidizing “healthy” commodities would contribute to reducing obesity rates. This paper makes three contributions. First, we review evidence from the literature on the impacts on food consumption and obesity resulting from subsidies applied in the past to production or consumption of farm commodities. Second, we develop and present new arguments and preliminary evidence on the impacts of past government investments in agricultural R&amp;D on food consumption and obesity—through research-induced increases in agricultural productivity and...

Levels or Differences in Meat Demand Specification
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hahn,   William F.; Jones,   Keithly G.; Davis,   Christopher G.
We estimated a wholesale demand system for beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and turkey using quarterly U.S. data and a dynamic, CBS system (Keller and Van Driel).  The CBS system is a differential system, which means that it might be more appropriately applied in those situations where the data have unit roots.  If there are unit roots, differencing the data can improve the properties of the estimates.  If the data do not have unit roots, differencing the data might harm the properties of the estimates.   We tested the specification of the model's error terms using state-space techniques.  State-space units allow one to deal with roots on the unit circle without filtering the data (See Durbin and Koopman).  The demand system has only four independent error...

The Impact of Gurus: Parker Grades and EN PRIMEUR Wine Prices.
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ali-Kein,   Hela Hadj; Lecocq,   Sebastien; Visser,   Michael.
The purpose of this paper is to measure the impact of Robert Parker's oenological grades on Bordeaux wine prices. We study their impact on the so-called en primeur wine prices, i.e., the prices determined by the chateau owners when the wines are still extremely young. The Parker grades are usually published in the spring of each year, before the wine prices are established. However, the wine grades attributed in 2003 have been published much later, in the autumn, after the determination of the prices. This unusual reversal is exploited to estimate a Parker effect. We found that, on average, the effect is equal to 2.80 euros per bottle of wine. We also estimate grade-specific effects, and use these estimates to predict what the prices would have been had...

Due to the malnutrition problem facing consumers in developing countries, QPM which has almost double the amount of tryptophan and lysine, has been identified as a possible solution to this problem. To know whether consumers will accept QPM, it is vital that its sensory attributes and consumer acceptance tests are carried out. Sensory characteristics were determined using home use testing and central location methods by use of stiff porridge. Three districts were visited and 120 consumers participated in home use testing, whereas 30 respondents participated in the central location testing. At the central...

Determinants of Meats Purchase Behavior by Ethnic Groups
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Garcia-Jimenez,   Carlos I.; Mishra,   Ashok K.
Farmers and food companies need to assess their production and marketing strategies for nurturing business opportunities that will arise from the simultaneous increase in population and income of Hispanics in the United States. Previous studies on demand for meat products have not received much attention on the determinants of meats purchase behavior by Hispanics in relation to other ethnic groups. This study investigates the impact of ethnicity and the determinants of meats purchase behavior in the U.S. by using single Probit equations. The analyzed data comes from the U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey. The results indicate that ethnicity plays an important role in the purchase behavior of meat products, as well as household size and income.

The Impact of Trade Barriers on Mandated Biofuel Consumption in Canada
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Le Roy,   Danny G.; Elobeid,   Amani E.; Klein,   Kurt K.
In 2008 the Canadian government passed amendments to the Environmental Protection Act requiring five percent ethanol in transportation fuels sold in Canada by 2010 and two percent renewable content in diesel and heating fuels by 2012. Agricultural commodity and other groups have lobbied for further marketplace intervention that would ensure the biofuel needed to meet the legislated requirement be produced from domestic sources. Indeed, many of these special interests would like the biofuels content increased from five to ten percent and for the increase to be met by domestic firms only. The objective of this study is to compare the relative economic impacts in Canada of achieving a ten percent biofuel content either through increased imports or by...

Demand Analysis for Fish in Tunisia: An Empirical Approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dhehibi,   Boubaker; Lachaal,   Lassaad; Chebil,   Ali.
The aim of this paper is to analyze and determine the factors influencing fish demand in Tunisia during the 1975-2000 period. A Box-Cox transformation is used to select the appropriate functional form between linear and double-log models. Results indicate that the double-log form fits better the data and is used for the empirical analysis. Calculated elasticities from static model show that fish demand is price-inelastic and that fish can be considered as a normal good. However, the dynamic analysis using Houthakker-Taylor model suggests that fish consumption in Tunisia depends on consumers psychological-buying habits. Finally, the values of the short and the long-run elasticities indicate that per capita consumption of fish in Tunisia is growing, but at a...

THE IMPACT OF BIG-BOX STORES ON RETAIL FOOD PRICES AND THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Leibtag,   Ephraim S.
Over the past 10 years, the growth of nontraditional retail food outlets has transformed the food market landscape, increasing the variety of shopping and food options available to consumers, as well as price variation in retail food markets. This report focuses on these dynamics and how they affect food price variation across store format types. The differences in prices across store formats are especially noteworthy when compared with standard measures of food price inflation over time. Over the past 20 years, annual food price changes, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), have averaged just 3 percent per year, while food prices for similar products can vary by more than 10 percent across store formats at any one point in time. Since the...

Autores: Washington,   Andrew A.; Kilmer,   Richard L.
The objective of this paper was to provide the U.S. dairy industry with empirical estimates of Hong Kong's derived demand for imported cheese differentiated by source country of production.  These estimates were used to simulate the effects of European Union (EU) subsidy reductions on the U.S. share of Hong Kong cheese imports.  Simulation results suggested that Oceania was the primary beneficiary from EU subsidy reductions. Hong Kong cheese imports from the U.S. were expected to increase by 12% if subsidy reductions continue at the same pace as the 1994 GATT agreement and 21% if reductions were twice the pace.

Convergence or Divergence in Food Demand:  Comparison of Trends in the EU and North America
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Regmi,   Anita; Unnevehr,   Laurian J.
Whether food demand is "converging" is tested in two ways. First, the convergence of food expenditures among 18 high-income countries is examined from 1990 to 2004. Convergence is apparent in total expenditures, cereals, and meats, even after correcting for differences in income and levels of protection. Second, specific food retailing and product introduction patterns are examined for the US, Canada, and four northern European countries for the past two decades. These show increasing shares for retail outlets selling standardized products, and increased preference for convenience, upscale, and natural product attributes across all six countries.

Autores: Henneberry,   Shida Rastegari; Hwang,   Seonghuyk.
The first difference version of the restricted source-differentiated almost ideal demand system is used to estimate South Korean meat demand. The results of this study indicate that the United States has the most to gain from an increase in the size of the South Korean imported meat market in terms of its beef exports, while South Korea has the most to gain from this expansion in the pork market. Moreover, the results indicate that the United States has a competitive advantage to Australia in the South Korean beef market. Results of this study have implications for U.S. meat exports in this ever-changing policy environment.

We assess the level and determinants of relative technical efficiency of maize-based smallholder farmers using a translog stochastic frontier (TL) model and a symmetric generalized Barnett production function (SGB), both of which are tested for economic regularity conditions. In addition, we conduct a bootstrapping procedure in order to infer about the probability distributions and significance of the relative efficiency values for farmers using different soil fertility management options. The results indicate that higher levels of relative technical efficiency obtain when farmers use integrated soil fertility options compared to the use of chemical fertilizer only. The consistency of the results across the two models increase the robustness of the...

Grid Marketing and Beef Carcass Quality: A Discussion of Issues and Trends
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fausti,   Scott W.; Qasmi,   Bashir A.; Diersen,   Matthew A.
Beef industry data suggest that improvements in carcass yield and quality grades have stagnated recently.  Empirical analysis, based on USDA market reports, indicates that the share of steer slaughter volume marketed on a grid is less than industry estimates and the growth in market share has stagnated.  Trend analysis of market share suggests that grid pricing has become an important marketing channel, but has not become the dominant marketing channel.  The lack of industry progress toward achieving the carcass quality goals suggests that grid pricing has not captured the level of market share needed to realize the goals envisioned for it as a value based marketing system

We examine the extent to which bid design provides an informative anchor that influences the context in which individuals evaluate willingness to pay questions.  We postulate that agents who are uncertain over possible states of nature that may arise when consuming a good use bid design as a means to resolve such uncertainty.  Furthermore, we hypothesize that the impact of bid design on estimated WTP is less pronounced for experienced agents that have observed more draws from nature.  We use three measure of bid design to evaluate our conjectures; (i) the mean of bid amounts, (ii) the absolute value of the difference between bid amounts, and (iii) the ratio of the mean to the spread.  We interact proxies for individual experience with our measure of bid...

Following conceptualization to deduce the general shapes of relationships, the appropriate specific functional form was found by testing particular attribute transformations identified from partial regression analysis.  Minimizing structural errors across attribute levels and estimation accuracy were used in determining when an appropriate functional form for both implicit and explicit prices was...

Valuation of Carbon Forestry and the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme: A Real Options Approach Using the Binomial Tree Method
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Tee,   James; Scarpa,   Riccardo; Marsh,   Dan; Guthrie,   Graeme.
Under the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme, new forests planted on/after 1st January 1990 can earn carbon credits. These credits have to be repaid upon forest harvest. This paper analyses the effects of this carbon scheme on the valuation of bareland, on which radiata pine is to be planted. NPV/LEV and Real Options methods are employed, assuming stochastic timber and carbon prices. Valuation increases significantly and rotation age is likely to be lengthened. We include a scenario analysis of potential implications of rotation age lengthening on carbon stock management in New Zealand.

Many value-added practices cannot be observed by feeder cattle buyers. Third-party verification can decrease market inefficiency associated with this asymmetric information. We evaluate the effectiveness of a verification program, the Oklahoma Quality Beef Network, in increasing received prices. We estimate the value of verification, weaning, vaccinating, certification and phenotypic traits of feeder cattle at Oklahoma auctions. Results indicate that the OQBN program adds $2.39 to $5.74/cwt. Vaccinating calves adds $1.44/cwt, and weaning calves adds $2.05/cwt. Differential values for lot size, average weight, hide color, frame size, conditioning, Brahman influence, gender and other characteristics are also reported.

Some recent analyses relating to gross revenue instability have used a procedure for decomposing the variance of gross revenue into components attributable to price variability, quantity variability and interaction between these. This paper offers some criticisms of the procedure and outlines an alternative procedure which divides the variance of gross revenue into components due to demand variability, supply variability and interaction between these. The procedure is used to investigate the causes of instability in quarterly beef revenues in the Australian beef industry. Since demand and supply variability are both important contributors to beef revenue instability, direct market intervention to stabilise beef industry revenues would be a complex and...

This study examines the dynamic effects of grain prices and energy prices on catfish feed prices and the price of food-sized catfish at the farm level. Using the autoregressive distributed lag model and bounds testing procedure, a long-run relationship between feed and farm prices and their determinants was confirmed. Given the effect of corn and soybean meal prices on catfish feed prices, and catfish fish feed prices on farm prices, the long-run responsiveness of feed prices to a percentage increase in U.S. ethanol production is 0.325, and the responsiveness of catfish farm prices is 0.064. Although both feed and farm prices increase with ethanol production, the relatively small responsiveness of farm prices when compared with feed prices suggests that...

The purpose of this study is to analyze the demand responses of Indonesian households to food prices, income changes and other socioeconomic factors. The underlying assumption here is that inadequate information on household food expenditure patterns which vary across income groups and regions may have its contribution to the persistence of food insecurity. We use the Indonesian Family Life Survey data and methodologically we employ an extended form of the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System model which includes demographic and regional factors. Results reveal the well known pattern that food demand behavior varies significantly between urban and rural households as well as income groups. The poorest households consume relatively more staple food as well...

Analysis of the Preferences for a New Convenient Seafood Product: Empirical Application for Spain and Norway
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dopico,   Domingo Calvo; Olsen,   Svein Ottar; Tudoran,   Alina.
Fish and seafood products represent a very healthy food, low in saturated fats and offer an excellent source of protein essential for our health. However, very often, consumer behaviour would seem to infer that seafood products do not rank particularly highly in terms of preference, this being due to the perception of various physical and psychological costs, which represent barriers to consumption. Consequently, there is an opportunity to develop new tailor-made seafood products more adapted to recent demand. The aim of this study is to analyse the overall preference of young consumers for such a new seafood product. The experiments were carried out in two European countries: Spain and Norway, with samples of 349 and 296 young people respectively. The...

Understanding Factors That Influence Breeders to Sell Bulls at Performance Tests
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lillywhite,   Jay M.; Simonsen,   J.
Breeders of purebred bulls have multiple avenues to market their bulls, including consignment at public auctions associated with performance tests. Purebred breeders often have the opportunity to withdraw bulls that are eligible to sell in these auctions. We examine sales data from a public auction held in conjunction with a performance bull test in Tucumcari, NM, to gain insights on breeder decisions to withdraw bulls prior to entering the sales ring. Specifically, we use a binary logit model to identify relevant characteristics that affect a breeder’s decision to withdraw a sale eligible bull from the auction.

PRICE INTEGRATION IN MERCOSUR COUNTRIES: A FRACTIONAL COINTEGRATION ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mohanty,   Samarendu; Peterson,   E. Wesley F.; Smith,   Darnell B.
This paper examines price integration in the MERCOSUR countries of Argentina and Brazil after the creation of this regional economic agreement using a fractional cointegration analysis.  The results suggest that Argentine wheat and corn prices are fully cointegrated with the corresponding world prices, whereas Brazilian wheat prices are not cointegrated with the world price.  These results support the idea that, for these markets, MERCOSUR is operating more like a free trade area than a customs union with harmonized trade policies.  In case of soybean, neither soybean price is integrated with the world price, implying that both countries are pursuing similar export strategies that have the effect of isolating these markets from the world markets.

A METHOD FOR EVALUATING SUPPLY RESPONSE TO PRICE UNDERWRITING
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fraser,   Rob W.
In this paper a method for evaluating the supply response of individual producers to a price underwriting scheme is presented. The method includes precise formulae to take account of the impact of price underwriting on the producer's uncertain conditions. The Australian Wheat Board's guaranteed minimum price scheme is taken as a specific example of price underwriting in practice. Results show the scheme to lead to only relatively small supply responses. The impact on producer behaviour of an increase in price uncertainty in the presence of an underwriting scheme is also demonstrated in the paper.

Lessons Learned from the Phase-out of the MFA: Moving from Managed Distortion to Managed Distortion
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hudson,   Darren; Ethridge,   Don E.; Mutuc,   Maria Erlinda M.
While the elimination of the Multifibre Arrangement (MFA) was presumed to be a net global benefit because it represented an elimination of a distortionary set of trade agreements, it was based on the assumption that the underlying global trading regime was based on free trade principles. However, due to the trading pattern that has emerged after the MFA and its unintended consequences – with production infrastructure and trading rules based on distortionary incentives so entrenched into the system – the global trading regime after the elimination of quotas is still far short of free.

Forecasting Volatilities of Corn Futures at Distant Horizons
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Wu,   Feng; Guan,   Zhengfei.
Accurately forecasting volatility at distant horizons is critical for managing long-term risk in agriculture. Given the poor performance of GARCH-type models at long-term volatility forecast, we develop a risk-adjusted implied volatility, which adjust the risk-neutral implied volatility by correctly accounting for the volatility risk premium. The paper evaluates the performance of the new implied volatility in the corn futures market relative to two alternative forecasts- a three-year moving average forecast and a naïve forecast. The finding from the study is that the new implied volatilities have at least as well as or stronger predictive power than alternative predicting approaches.

MODELLING IMPORT DEMAND SYSTEMS WITH NONSTATIONARY DATA: AN APPLICATION TO THE FRENCH IMPORTS OF VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ben Kaabia,   Monia; Gil,   Jose Maria.
This paper aims to provide a flexible methodological framework to estimate import demand models, which explicitly considers the stochastic properties of data and the endogenous/exogenous nature of some variables. The French imports of virgin olive oil have been used as a case study with Spain, Italy and the Rest of the World as main suppliers. The methodological framework starts by the specification a reduced-form VAR. Appropriated exogeneity tests show the exogeneity of Total Real Imports, indicating the appropriateness of estimating a conditional model. Two cointegration relationships have been found. Several restrictions have been tested in order to identify them as AIDS equations. From structural coefficients of the restricted cointegrated vectors...

Price Transmission Asymmetries and Nonlinearities in the International Coffee Supply Chain

Autores: Lee,   Jun; Gomez,   Miguel I.
We examine two distinct and important dimensions (e.g. symmetry vs. asymmetry and linearity vs. nonlinearity) of price transmission from international to retail coffee prices in France, Germany and the United States. We show that ignoring these two features of the price transmission process may lead to misleading impact assessments resulting from the elimination of International Coffee Agreement (ICA) in 1990. Our results confirm the presence of threshold effects in both periods (ICA and post ICA) in all three countries. Our estimates show that, in the long-run, the speed of adjustment toward equilibrium becomes faster during the post-ICA period in France and Germany. Our results suggest that, for these two countries, changes in international prices did...

Autores: Pannell,   David J.
This is a broad-ranging discussion of the role of economics and economists in the formation of government policies. The focus is on helping economists who wish to be influential in the policy process. The paper covers rationales for and against economist involvement in the policy process (market failure, government failure, economist failure), a range of theories that attempt to explain aspects of the policy process, and practical advice and insights based on the experiences of policy economists. Many challenges are highlighted, but some clear opportunities are apparent, particularly through explicit advocacy for the public interest.

We construct a model to predict how consumers will respond to better information about the carbon content of 42 foods and a nonfood composite as well as product categories through a label, and provide guidance as to what kinds of goods would provide the highest CO¬2eq emission reductions through a labeling scheme.   Our model assumes that consumers value their individual carbon footprint, allowing us to utilize estimates of own- and cross-price elasticities of demand from the literature on demand analysis. We make three different assumptions about how consumers currently value their carbon footprint and find that when a label informs consumers, their baseline perception matters.  We also find that carbon labels on alcohol and meat would achieve the largest...

Interacting demand and supply conditions in European bank lending
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Heshmati,   Almas; Lindstrom,   Ossi.
This paper investigates credit channel of monetary policy by accounting for simultaneous interaction of banks' and firms' credit conditions and their adjustment costs, which are neglected in the previous studies. Based on the European data we find that these conditions are interacting, although their adjustment costs differ across banks, firm size, countries, and over time. The results suggest that a common European monetary policy should then deal with uncertainty over credit market conditions and firms' and banks' country-specific and size-dependent reactions. It should also monitor large firms' exploitation of banks' credit rationing as it can have great impacts on the smaller firms' lending and financial stability conditions.

Using Monte-Carlo simulation, , we compare the most popular demand systems including the LES, AIDS, BTL, QES, QUAIDS and AIDADS, and find that different models actually have different advantages in estimating different elasticities. Specifically, QES, AIDS and AIDADS models are the best in income, own-price and cross-price elasticities, respectively. Overall, AIDADS model has the best performance. The results indicate that the rank three models are not necessary always better than the rank two models.

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...

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fabiosa,   Jacinto F.; Hansen,   James M.; Matthey,   Holger; Pan,   Suwen; Tuan,   Francis C.
A team of U.S. analysts visited China to assess the potential for use of distillers dried grain plus solubles (DDGS) in China’s livestock sector. They examined the economics of the use of DDGS in feeds, the policy issues surrounding the use of the product, and transportation-logistic constraints in the expansion of DDGS imports. The team collected actual and secondary data to conduct a micro-economic analysis of the impact of DDGS on feed cost, solicited official and expert opinions through interviews, and conducted site visits. They found the development of the DDGS import market in China to be very promising. The microeconomic analysis showed a clear economic incentive for feed millers and livestock producers to use DDGS in their feed ration, with a...

The almost ideal demand system (AIDS) is commonly used to study demand for agricultural commodities and groups of commodities.  Increasingly, separability has been utilized in conjunction with the AIDS to estimate conditional demand systems as well as to improve upon precision of parameter estimates.  The paper shows that separability conditions are inconsistent with use of the AIDS and that tests of separability with the AIDS are problematic.

GRAIN PRICE STABILITY AND FARMER DECISION MAKING IN CHINA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chen,   Jing; Rozelle,   Scott; Carter,   Colin A.
In this paper we find that real grain prices in China have displayed increased volatility in the past decade. This is true for rice, wheat, corn, and for most of provinces. Farmers in China are found to be risk averse because when they make acreage allocation decisions.  Given the widespread access to land in China, farmers mostly respond negatively in their sown area decisions towards price risk.  The large price variations from 1984-1995 may have contributed to the slowdown in agricultural output growth from 1984-1995.

Para tal análise utiliza-se a metodologia de vetores autorregressivos para identificar a relação de causalidade entre os preços do etanol e do açúcar. O crescimento do preço do etanol é resultado de um aumento da demanda internacional pela commodity devido a questões ambientais, econômicas e geopolíticas; e resultado também do crescimento do consumo interno de etanol com a introdução de veículos flex na frota brasileira. Com esse aumento da demanda por etanol, foi gerada uma competição com a produção de açúcar, reduzindo a disponibilidade dessa commodity. Como resultado, foi encontrada uma relação de bicausalidade entre os preços do etanol e do açúcar....

When a new firm enters a market and starts selling a spatially-differentiated product, the prices of existing products may rise due to a better match between consumers and products.  Entry may have three unusual effects.  First, the new price is above the monopoly price if the two firms collude and may be above the monopoly price even if the firms play Bertrand. Second, the Bertrand and collusive price may be identical. Third, prices, combined profits, and consumer surplus may all rise with entry.  Consistent with our theory, the real prices of some anti-ulcer drugs rose as new products entered the market.

This study seeks to identify interproduct relationships between domestic catfish and a representative selection of imported seafood. In doing so, this study uses multivariate cointegration and structural analyses. Multivariate cointegration analysis suggests that six imported seafood product groupings form a common market with domestic catfish. Structural analysis reveals that 1) domestic and imported catfish are net and gross quantity substitutes; 2) domestic catfish and imported seafood are normal goods; 3) six imported seafood products are identified as gross quantity substitutes for domestic catfish; and 4) according to the derived Allais coefficients, interaction intensities of imported seafood for domestic catfish (from greatest to least) are as...

Auction market users and operators were surveyed regarding their source and use of livestock auction price information. Although important for marketing and to a lesser extent production decisions, only 30 percent preferred publicly reported prices over reports from market operators or other sources. The small share of market users willing to pay for public price reports suggests acceptable substitutes are available. Based on these results it is unlikely that user fees will be able to replace the current level of public support for auction market price reporting.

The honey production has important role, too. Some researchers say that if honey bee will extinct the humanity in the world would also extinct. It is true since plant pollination by honey bees is very important. It is confirmed by researchers’ studies that plant pollination by honey bees has significant positive external impacts on potential yields in orchards. Although the contribution of honey production to the GDP in Hungary is only a few per cent, other benefits play more important role. One of them is the positive external effect – mentioned above – and the other is the contribution to...

Price and Product-Line Rivalry Among Supermarket Retailers
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Richards,   Timothy J.
Product-line length, or variety, is a key competitive tool used by retailers to differentiate themselves from rivals. Theoretical models of price and variety competition suggest that both store and product heterogeneity are key determinants of price and variety strategies, but none test this hypothesis in a rigorous way. This study provides the first empirical evidence on supermarket retailers' combined price and variety strategies using a nested CES modeling framework. Unlike other discrete-choice models of product differentiation, the NCES model is sufficiently general to admit both corner and interior solutions in both store and product choice.  The model is estimated using store-level scanner data for all grocery chains in a major West Coast market and...

This paper presents a quantitative analysis of the Chinese wheat and rice industries.  The specific purpose is to analyze government policies for wheat and rice, and their impacts on industry performance.  Dynamic relationships among prices, quantities and total GNP are investigated with a vector autoregression using Chinese data. Government intervention in domestic commodity markets is quite common in China.  The Chinese government is not only heavily involved in production, but also in marketing and distribution of most commodities, especially agricultural products.  Production planning and collection rationing are used to reduce the need for food imports.  Grain price policy is used as an economic tool to promote the government's objectives of...

We provide a unified discussion of the issues that confront negotiators of the next international climate agreement. We offer a novel proposal that entitles countries to discharge their treaty obligations by paying a “fine”. This escape clause provides cost insurance, simplifies the problem of enforcing compliance, and increases incentives to participate in the agreement. We explain why developed country obligations should rely on a cap and trade commitment rather than carbon taxes. A Central Bank maintains stability of carbon prices by defending a price ceiling and floor. An so-called intensity target is not a good alternative to an emissions cap. Modest trade restrictions, consistent with WTO law, will form an important part of the next agreement....

and this is a problem when estimating log-linear gravity equations. This has caused many researchers to either ignore the zero trade flows or to replace the zero with a small positive number. Both of these actions bias the resulting parameter estimates of the gravity equation. In this study we correct for this misspecification by using the Heckman selection model to estimate bilateral trade flows for 46 agrifood products, for the period 1990 to 2000, for 52 countries. In our sample, selection bias rarely affects the signs of variables but often has a substantial effect on the magnitude, statistical significance and economic interpretation of the marginal effects. Hence, treating zero trade flows properly is important from both a statistical and an...

The demand for meat in South Africa: An almost ideal estimation
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Taljaard,   Pieter R.; Alemu,   Zerihun Gudeta; van Schalkwyk,   Herman D.
A Linear Approximated Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS), estimated in first differences, was used to anticipate the demand relations for meat (beef, chicken, pork and mutton) in South Africa from 1970 – 2000. Two tests for weak separability, including an F and Likelihood ratio version, failed to reject the null hypothesis of weak separability, confirming that the four meat products are separable, and should be modelled together. According to the Hausman exogeneity test, the expenditure term in the South African meat demand model is exogenous. As a result, a Restricted Seemingly Unrelated Regression (RSUR) was used to estimate the model, whereafter the parameters were used as to calculate compensated, uncompensated and expenditure elasticities.

Bayesian Analysis of a Japanese Meat Demand System: A Robust Likelihood Approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Heckelei,   Thomas; Mittelhammer,   Ronald C.; Wahl,   Thomas I.
This paper presents an application of Bayesian analysis to an AIDS model of Japanese meat demand extending previous approaches in three ways: (1) The methodology employed is robust with respect to the likelihood function but retains the generic, easily programmable character of algorithms offered by Monte Carlo Integration approaches based on the normal likelihood function. (2) In addition to inequality constraints, linear exact restrictions and stochastic prior information are subjected to a Bayesian posterior analysis of validity and incorporated into Bayesian point estimates of model parameters and elasticities. (3) In order to assess the influence of the prior density on posterior distributions of model parameters relative to the likelihood, a measure...

AIDS VERSUS ROTTERDAM: A COX NONNESTED TEST WITH PARAMETRIC BOOTSTRAP
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dameus,   Alix; Brorsen,   B. Wade; Sukhdial,   Kullapapruk Piewthongngam; Richter,   Francisca G.-C.
A Cox nonnested test with parametric bootstrap is developed to select between the linearized version of the First Difference Almost Ideal Demand System (FDAIDS) and the Rotterdam model. The Cox test with parametric bootstrap is expected to be more powerful than the various orthodox tests used in past research. The new approach is then used for U. S. meat demand (beef, pork, and chicken) and compared to results obtained with an orthodox test. The orthodox test gives inconsistent results. In contrast, under the same varied conditions, the Cox test with parametric bootstrap consistently indicates that the Rotterdam model is preferred to the FDAIDS.

Welfare Effects of Food Miles Labels
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Caputo,   Vincenzina; Vassilopoulos,   Achilleas; Nayga,   Rodolfo M., Jr.; Canavari,   Maurizio.
We assessed the consumer welfare effects of two generic food miles labels: carbon dioxide (CO2) emission label and number of miles label. Using data from a choice experiment, our results generally suggest that a mandatory labeling policy for either type of label would have a positive welfare effect on both informed and uninformed consumers. However, a label informing consumers about the number of miles the food product has travelled provides greater positive welfare effects than a label informing consumers about the amount of CO2 emission.

Some Economic Benefits and Costs of Vegetarianism
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lusk,   Jayson L.; Norwood,   F. Bailey.
It is now fashionable in many circles to advocate vegetarianism, and many activist groups are vocal in their aim to convert the human race to vegetarians. What would be the economic costs and benefits of a shift away from meat consumption? In this article we provide some partial answers to this question. In three separate analyses we show (i) that it is much more costly to produce energy and protein from animal-based sources than from some plant-based sources, (ii) that sizable demand shifts away from meat consumption would result in significantly lower corn prices and production, and (iii) that the average U.S. consumer places a higher value on having meat in his or her diet than having any other food group. This information should help move forward our...

How Low Has the Farm Share of Retail Food Prices Really Fallen?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Stewart,   Hayden.
For the commodities they sell, farmers have been receiving a decreasing share of what consumers pay for food at retail stores for some time, but the extent of this decrease has been overstated for at least a few commodity groups. Current estimates of farm share are based on baskets of foods representative of what households bought between 1982 and 1984. Using updated baskets based on what American households bought for at-home consumption between 1999 and 2003, this report estimates farm share for two major commodity groups—fresh fruits and fresh vegetables. Using this approach, this report found that farmers are capturing more of the consumer’s food dollar than current estimates suggest. The methodology behind the market basket data series is also detailed.

EFFECTS OF ADDITIONAL QUALITY ATTRIBUTES ON CONSUMER WILLINGNESS-TO-PAY FOR FOOD LABELS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gao,   Zhifeng; Schroeder,   Ted C.
Contingent valuation (CV), choice experiment (CE) and experimental auction (EA) or the combinations of the three methods are often used by researchers to elicit consumer willingness to pay for food attributes (food labels).  One concern about using these approaches is that quality attributes of food provided to respondents are assumed independent of other attributes which are not provided to respondents during the survey.  The limited attributes provided in a survey may lead respondents to allocate their budgets to those limited attributes rather than allocate their budgets to a larger number of product attributes to truly reveal their preferences.  Surveys containing a series of online CEs were collected to investigate the effects of additional beef steak...

ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PRIVATE FOOD STANDARDS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Giraud-Heraud,   Eric; Grazia,   Cristina; Hammoudi,   Abdelhakim.
This paper provides an original theoretical framework to better understand the raise of private quality standards in agrifood chains. Reasons for the development and conditions for the effectiveness of private quality standards are identified, by investigating firms’ strategic behaviour and, more precisely, both interactions among processing/retailing firms and upstream producers and the role of consumers’ behaviour. Considering different levels of consumers risk perception, we show that the incentive for firms to develop a more stringent private standard may increase with the level of the regulated minimum quality standard. Moreover, setting a private standard may reduce the risk of consumer dissatisfaction while increasing the marketed quantity....

Do fluctuations in wine stocks affect wine prices?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bukenya,   James O.; Labys,   Walter C.
Globalization and the expansion of world wine trade have caused a wine boom that together with agricultural subsidies have made fluctuations in wine inventories a more critical issue. In the case of domestic and international wine markets, little is known about intertemporal inventory adjustments and how they relate to prices. We investigate possible dynamic relations between these variables in a time series context, so as to better understand how wine producers and traders can face growing price and financial volatility. Countries for whom meaningful data series could be constructed include: Argentina, Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United States. The study begins by examining the empirical evidence on inventories in these markets and...

An empirical policy simulation analysis that was performed prior to the adoption of the revised N.Z. wheat pricing arrangements is reported. The analysis was particularly timely as it coincided with, and made an input to, discussions between the various parties attempting to derive an improved wheat pricing scheme. The implications of making N.Z. farm-gate wheat pricing more responsive to world market prices were assessed using a simulation model to distill information on the impact of alternative pricing schemes on those criteria thought to be of interest to policymakers. The results also indicated how the recently announced new scheme would have performed. This information aided public decision making, particularly in clarifying some of the trade-offs...

Bread contains a wide range of important nutritional components which provide a positive effect on human health. However, the consumption of bread in Belgium is declining during the last decades. This is due to factors such as changing eating patterns and a increasing choice of substitutes like breakfast cereals and fast foods. The aim of this study is to investigate consumer’s quality perception of bread towards sensory, health and nutrition attributes. Consumer’s quality perception of bread seams to be determined by sensory and health attributes. Three clusters of consumers are identified based on these attributes. In the first cluster, consumers’ quality perception of bread is not dependent on the health attributes it embraces, but to some extent on...

This research note documents estimation procedures and results for an empirical investigation of the performance of the recently developed spatial, heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent (HAC) covariance estimator calibrated with different kernel bandwidths. The empirical example is concerned with a hedonic price model for residential property values. The first bandwidth approach varies an a priori determined plug-in bandwidth criterion. The second method is a data driven cross-validation approach to determine the optimal neighborhood. The third approach uses a robust semivariogram to determine the range over which residuals are spatially correlated. Inference becomes more conservative as the plug-in bandwidth is increased. The data-driven...

Autores: Reed,   Albert J.; Levedahl,   J. William; Hallahan,   Charles B.
This paper reports tests of aggregation over consumer food products and estimates of aggregate food demand elasticities. Evidence that food demand variables follow unit root processes leads us to build on and simplify tests of the Generalized Composite Commodity Theorem found in the literature. We compute food demand elasticities using cointegration applied to a convenient but nonlinear functional form. Estimates are based on consumer reported expenditure data rather than commercial disappearance data.

Autores: Brown,   Donald J.
This paper discusses the testable implications of the Walrasian hypotheses: H1 Observed market demand is the sum of consumer’s demands derived from utility maximization subject to budget constraints. H2 There exists an observable (locally) unique equilibrium price system such that the observable market demand is equal to the observable market supply in every market. H3 The observed equilibrium price system is a (locally) stable equilibrium of tâtonnement price adjustment. The main results are the Brown–Matzkin Theorem: H1 is testable, and the Brown– Shannon Theorem: H2 and H3 are not testable.

Does Negative Information Always Hurt Meat Demand? An Examination of Avian Influenza Information Impacts on U.S.
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mu,   Jianhong H.; McCarl,   Bruce A.
Consumers’ consumption patterns could be affected by food safety information, however, it is more important to consider where the food safety issue occurs. If the food safety issue happens in other countries, in other words, it outbreaks out of the target market, negative information may be beneficial; in contrast, if the food safety issue occurs within the market, results may consistent with previous studies. Based on this assumption, this paper reinvestigates the impacts of AI media coverage and BSE cases on the demand of meat in U.S. market. Estimated results provide supports for our assumption, i.e., AI information has positive effect on poultry and turkey demands in short term, and BSE affect beef demand negatively.

Autores: Olynk,   Nicole J.; Tonsor,   Glynn T.; Wolf,   Christopher A.
Livestock producers can respond to increasing consumer demand for certain production process attributes by providing verifiable information on the practices used. Consumer willingness to pay data were used to inform producer decision-making regarding selection of verification entities for four key production process attributes in the production of pork chops and milk. The potential for informing farm-level decision-making with information about consumer demand for product and production process attributes exists beyond the two products assessed as example cases in this analysis.

A RECURSIVE MODEL FOR FORECASTING QUARTERLY AND MONTHLY U.S. HOG PRICES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: do Canto,   Wilson Leite.
Institutions such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture, universities and private firms have published regularly current and outlook information to the participants of the livestock market.  Information about short-run future tendencies in the market place is a necessary tool used in the decision making process, by hog producers, wholesalers, retailers and others operating in the hog and pork markets. The forecasting techniques which have been used range from very sophisticated ones to simple "rules of thumb" or purely guesses.  Many forecasters use their own procedures and techniques developed after long experience in operating in the market, and they only get their results after much "pencil and paper" work, and frequently the techniques used are known...

Increased use of noncash-price procurement methods has concerned cattlemen for the past several years. This research estimated impacts of captive supplies on transaction prices for fed cattle. Negative relationships were found between transaction prices and percentage deliveries from the inventory of forward contracted and marketing agreement cattle. However, impacts from the absolute size of the total captive supply inventory were not significant. Price differences were found among procurement methods with forward contract prices being much lower. On balance, captive supplies had small but often negative effects on fed cattle transaction prices.

Autores: Grundmann,   Philipp; Ehlers,   Melf-Hinrich; Uckert,   Gotz.
Agricultural bioenergy production faces dynamics such as yield fluctuations, volatile prices, resource competition, new regulation and policy, innovation and climate change. To what extent is bioenergy production able to adapt to changing environments and to overcome critical events? We investigate in detail how the agricultural bioenergy sector in the German State of Brandenburg adapted to diverse past events. The analysis rests on the adaptive-cycle concept of HOLLING and GUNDERSON (2002a), which has been widely applied in socialecological systems research. Brandenburg’s bioenergy production displays properties of a system in the exploitation phase, including a low potential and a high resilience of the system and a low connectedness within the system....

TRACING THE EFFECTS OF AGRICULTURAL COMMODITY PRICES ON FOOD PROCESSING COSTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Morrison Paul,   Catherine J.; MacDonald,   James M.
Although food processing sector production is inherently linked to the availability and prices of agricultural materials (MA), this link appears to be weakening due to adaptations in input costs, technology, and food consumption patterns. This study assesses the roles of these changes on food processors’ costs and output prices, with a focus on the demand for primary agricultural commodities. Our analysis of the 4-digit U.S. food processing industries for 1972-1992 is based on a cost-function framework, augmented by a profit maximization specification of output pricing, and a virtual price representation for agricultural materials and capital. We find that falling virtual prices of MA and input substitution have provided a stimulus for MA demand. However,...

In this study the response of US consumers to irradiation in meat processing is examined. Despite scientific evidence of the effectiveness and safety of irradiation, meat processors and retailers have been slow to market irradiated beef products due to uncertainty about consumer acceptance. The objective of this study was therefore to examine the factors influencing consumer demand for irradiation using data from a contingent valuation (CV) survey with 819 households in eight midwestern US states. The analysis focused on the value of reduced risk from Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella in ground beef consumption. Respondents were on average willing to pay a price premium of 22 cents/lb. for safer ground beef. Willingness to Pay (WTP) amounts were...

Recent developments in the U.S. pecan industry appear to limit the utility of past research. The importance of pecan variety has emerged as an issue which could alter past results. The linear and double-log models previously fitted to all pecans (averaged) data may be too restrictive and hence, are less useful for variety-specific analysis. Past research also analyzed price turning points using nominal data. This study investigated functional form and data-averaging problems by fitting separate flexible Box-Cox price-dependent models for all-pecans and each variety of pecans (1970/71 -1988/89 deflated data). Results indicate: other nuts substitute for different pecan varieties, estimated all-pecans price flexibility is biased and clouds variety-specific...

Seasonal Analysis of Selected Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Prices at Wholesale Level in Key Urban Markets of Kenya
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mathenge,   Mary K.; Tschirley,   David L.
Agricultural commodities typically show a strong seasonal pattern in production, with supplies which come off the farm during one or perhaps two distinct periods of the year having to meet relatively stable demand over the course of the entire year. This seasonal pattern in production can give rise to strong seasonal patterns in price movements, with low prices during and shortly after the harvest, rising to peaks just prior to the next harvest. Understanding this price seasonality, the typical timing and levels of seasonal highs and lows, and the reliability of each, is a key task for anyone wishing to understand the market for an agricultural commodity. This paper presents the results of seasonal analysis for seven fresh fruit and vegetable crops in...

The Influence of Market Returns and Government Payments on Canadian Farmland Values
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Vyn,   Richard J.; Haq,   Zahoor Ul; Weerahewa,   Jeevika; Meilke,   Karl D.
This study estimates the impact of changes in market returns and government payments on farmland values across Canada using data from 1959 to 2009. A recursive simultaneous equation model is estimated to account for the counter-cyclical relationship between market returns and government payments. The results indicate that farmland values are more responsive to changes in market returns than in government payments, but both are important drivers of land values. The elasticity of land values with respect to government payments is lower than has been observed in the United States. In addition, the partial decoupling of government payments has not reduced their impact on farmland values.

As food is an experience good, the market for restaurant meals is a market where the cost of acquiring information regarding quality is relatively high. In such markets consumers often turn to reputation measures to guide purchase decisions. As Australia does not have a longstanding cuisine style of its own, and given Australia has been open to substantial immigration inflows since federation, it represents an especially appropriate market to study regarding the impact of individual restaurant reputation and collective cuisine reputation on meal prices. The following study uses the hedonic price approach to investigate the implicit price of individual reputation indicators, cuisine type reputation indicators, and other objective indicators in the market...

Drugs as a Rational Choice: Preliminary Explorations of Marijuana Consumption in Australia
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Zhao,   Xueyan.
Although an illegal commodity, Australian marijuana market is estimated to be in the size of as large as $5 billion annually. Understanding the consumer behaviour of illicit drug consumption is essential in drug policy debate. Using micro unit data from the most recent National Drug Strategy Household Surveys, ordered Probit model is estimated to study the effects of some social, economic and demographic factors on the frequency of an individual’s marijuana consumption. A sequential model is also estimated that examines separately the decisions of whether to participate in regular consumption and how often to consume the drug. Results indicate that some factors may have opposite effects on the two decisions.

Intentions, Information, and Convenience: An Empirical Analysis of their Effect on the American Diet and Demand for Meat
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mancino,   Lisa; Dietz,   Brian.
The purpose of this paper will be to develop and present a new approach for examining the demand for meat by incorporating many of the advances in behavioral economics. By providing a closer approximation to how consumers actually behave, doing so should improve upon existing models. Incorporating findings from behavioral studies will also provide a richer theoretical basis to correct for the longstanding problem of endogeniety in cross-sectional studies. The theoretical model in this study begins with the Becker household production model, where individuals are assumed to maximize utility, subject to their production functions, budget constraint and time constraint. To develop a model that more accurately depicts how individual's make their food choices,...

A SYMMETRIC APPROACH TO CANADIAN MEAT DEMAND ESTIMATION
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Eales,   James S.
Variability in published meat demand elasticity estimates for Canada motivates examining the importance of dynamics and endogeneity of right-hand-side variables. Wickens and Breusch suggest a re-parameterization of dynamics which allows estimating the long-run parameters directly and maintains linearity. A symmetric approach, employing both ordinary and inverse demand systems, to endogeneity of right-hand-side variables is used. Endogeneity of both prices and quantities is examined. Results show both dynamics and endogeneity are important in quarterly Canadian meat demand.

Factors Affecting Hay Supply and Demand in Tennessee
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bazen,   Ernest F.; Roberts,   Roland K.; Travis,   John; Larson,   James A.
Understanding the interactions between supply and demand for hay is important because of hay’s significance to the agricultural sector and economy, and because hay is an important crop on highly erodible soils. As an example, Tennessee has the most erodible cultivated cropland in the United States (Denton, 2000), nearly half of the state’s current CRP acreage contracts are set to expire in 2007 (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2006), and hay is one of the most economically important crops produced in the state (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2004). Cross (1999) attributed the upward trend in Tennessee hay acreage since 1980 to an increasing number of farmers who were searching for alternative production activities, such as hay, pasture and livestock, to...

A Recurrent Utility Function of Fictitious Generality
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Paris,   Quirino; Caputo,   Michael R.
For the past twenty-five years, Dusansky and his associated co-authors have published a longseries of papers which are based on the same price-dependent utility function. The alleged price dependence, however, is fictitious in the sense that the level of exogenous money income can replace the commodity prices. The consequence is that the demand functions derived from Dusansky's utility function are identical and observationally equivalent to the demand functions obtained from a prototypical utility function. Since all the market and environmental effects are revealed only through the demand functions, the specification and use of a utility function such as that used by Dusansky is irrelevant and uninformative for the analysis of any economic problem where...

Recent Changes in Milk Marketing in the UK: The Farmers' Perspective
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Franks,   J.R.
In 1994 Milk Marketing Boards in the UK were disbanded, their role as milk purchasers was taken by more than 100 licensed organisations. It is shown that this change resulted in an increase in the variation between producers' milk price. The majority of dairy farmers sold milk through the Milk Marketing Boards designated successor; a farmer owned co-operative called Milk Marque. In doing so they accepted a 1.5 ppl milk price penalty. It is shown farmers who adopted this strategy did so because of the perceived financial security of Milk Marque, goodwill and support for the principle of co-operative marketing and in an attempt to protect the milk price over the longer-term. The marketing environment changed once again in 2000 when Milk Marque was disbanded....

The impact of generic advertising and the free rider problem: a look at the U.S. orange juice market and imports
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Brown,   Mark G.; Lee,   Jonq-Ying; Spreen,   Thomas H.
Increased demand for an advertised product may increase price, which, in turn, may lead to a free rider problem where competitive imports increase and result in a smaller price increase than otherwise.  A study of Florida Department of Citrus advertising for orange juice indicated that the free rider problem has notably limited the impact of advertising on price in the U.S. market.  High U.S. orange juice demand, which in part has been a result of advertising, has attracted substantial amounts of orange juice imports.  Imports have eroded the impact of advertising on price by an estimated two-thirds.

Valuing Attributes of Fluid Milk Using Choice-Based Conjoint Experimental Design
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bai,   Junfei; Wahl,   Thomas I.; Wandschneider,   Philip R.
A choice-based conjoint (CBC) experiment was employed to analyze Chinese consumers’ preferences for fluid milk defined by four choice attributes: production processing method, fat content level, taste, and price. The results from two analysis approaches (counting and multinomial logit models) indicated that Chinese consumers are willing to pay a premium for pasteurized, low fat content, and natural tasting milk, but that they require a discount for choosing ultra high temperature (UHT), high fat content, and flavored milk. In addition, this study estimated the trade-offs among attributes’ levels and simulated the effects of income on the probabilities of choosing attribute-specified milk.

Detailed data from 3,500 urban Chinese households are used to estimate demand elasticities and the impacts of regional and demographic variables for 17 food products through a two-stage budgeting procedure with complete demand systems.  Results suggest that China's food consumption patterns will continue to shift from grains to high value food products and the ongoing transition in food consumption will affect China's domestic food markets and trade behavior.

It is the first, and to date as of September 1997, only full-scale attempt to present in a federal district court analysis of a merger’s impact using scanner generated brand level data and econometric techniques to estimate brand and category level elasticities of demand. The court rejected this analysis [State of New York v. Kraft General Foods, 926 F. supp. 358 (S.D. N.Y. 1995)].

SUPPLY AND DEMAND ANALYSIS OF RICE IN INDONESIA (1950-1972)

Autores: Parhusip,   Uben.
Indonesia is an agrarian country with more than seventy percent of her population living in rural areas.  The population of Indonesia was 119.2 million in 1971 with a very high growth rate.  This population is not evenly distributed, with 63.8 percent of the population concentrated in the Java and Bali Islands, which is only about seven percent of the total area of Indonesia.  Java is recognized by its crowded rural region, high unemployment and therefore low standard of living for the rural area.   Indonesian economy is still an agrarian economy, with more than fifty percent of national income from agriculture, with low productivity in traditional techniques of production and very small holding size.  Rice holds a dominant position in both production and...

Food Safety and Spinach Demand: A Generalized Error Correction Model

Autores: Arnade,   Carlos Anthony; Kuchler,   Fred; Calvin,   Linda.
We estimate an error correction model representing demand for leafy green vegetables but generalize the structure to allow for adjustment to one conspicuous shock. We investigate whether the adjustment rate to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) 2006 warning that fresh spinach was contaminated with deadly bacteria was distinct from the overall adjustment rate. Our model allows consumers to correct both for past errors and for any errors in their reaction to the shock. This method yields an estimate of the adjustment rate to the policy shock and points to an improved estimate of the duration of policy impacts.

Devil or Angel? The Role of Speculation in the Recent Commodity Price Boom (and Bust)
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Irwin,   Scott H.; Sanders,   Dwight R.; Merrin,   Robert P.
It is commonly asserted that speculative buying by index funds in commodity futures and over–the–counter derivatives markets created a ‘‘bubble’’ in commodity prices, with the result that prices, and crude oil prices, in particular, far exceeded fundamental values at the peak. The purpose of this paper is to show that the bubble argument simply does not withstand close scrutiny. Four main points are explored. First, the arguments of bubble proponents are conceptually flawed and reflect fundamental and basic misunderstandings of how commodity futures markets actually work. Second, a number of facts about the situation in commodity markets are inconsistent with the existence of a substantial bubble in commodity prices. Third, available statistical evidence...

The Effects of a Fat Tax on Dairy Products
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chouinard,   Hayley H.; Davis,   David E.; LaFrance,   Jeffrey T.; Perloff,   Jeffrey M.
We apply an incomplete demand system to supermarket scanner data to estimate the effects of a fat tax on dairy products for different demographic groups. We find own-price elasticities of demand are relatively inelastic and vary little across groups. A fat tax may be an effective means to raise revenue, but will not result in a significant reduction in fat consumption. The welfare effects associated with a fat tax are large and vary greatly across demographic groups. These fat taxes are regressive in nature, as the elderly and poor suffer greater welfare losses.

Since late 2010 and continuing into 2011, price volatility, in relation to basic agricultural commodities, has occupied center stage on the agendas of decision makers.  An additional concern has been uncertainty about a new global economic crisis in the wake of the macroeconomic difficulties experienced in the economies of several European countries and the United States.  In recent months, this situation has been compounded by the food crisis in the Horn of Africa --a reminder of the extremely vulnerable conditions under which broad segments of the world population continue to live.

Food Cost Review, 1950-97
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Elitzak,   Howard.
Food prices, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), increased 2.6 percent in 1997. This increase was greater than the overall increase in the CPI (which rose 2.3 percent) for the third consecutive year. Higher charges for processing and distributing food, as measured by the farm-to-retail price spread, were primarily responsible for the 1997 increase. The prices farmers received for commodities, as measured by the farm value of USDA's market basket of foods, dropped 4.4 percent. The farm value share of the food dollar spent in grocery stores in 1997 was 23 percent, a decrease of 2 percent from 1996. The farm-to-retail price spread of USDA's market basket of foods rose 4.7 percent, partly reflecting higher prices of inputs, such as labor.

Autores: Binfield,   Julian C.R.; Donnellan,   Trevor; Hanrahan,   Kevin F.
The CAP Health Check in 2008 may result in fundamental changes in EU dairy policy. An expansion of the EU dairy quota is being strongly considered as a prelude to the elimination of the quota mechanism by 2014/15. This paper addresses the implications of such a reform for EU and Irish dairy commodity markets. We use a suite of partial equilibrium multi commodity structural models of EU agricultural commodity markets to project the impact of an expansion in the dairy quota on milk and dairy commodity production, dairy commodity prices and milk prices at an EU and Member State level. A number of experiments are conducted involving differing annual rates of expansion of the milk quota using national quota rents from the literature.

The Asymmetric Cycling of U.S. Soybeans and Brazilian Coffee Prices: An Opportunity for Improved Forecasting and Understanding of Price Behavior
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ramirez,   Octavio A.
The behavior of agricultural commodity markets can arguably result in markedly asymmetric price cycles, that is, downward cycles of substantially different length and breadth than upward cycles. This study assesses whether asymmetric-cycle models can enhance the understanding of the dynamics and provide for a better forecasting of U.S. soybeans and Brazilian coffee prices. The forecasts from asymmetric cycle models are found to be substantially mode precise than those obtained from standard autoregressive models. The asymmetric cycle models also provide useful insights on the markedly different dynamics of the upward versus the downward cycles exhibited by the prices of these two commodities.

On the Economics of Rational Self-Medication
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Akpalu,   Wisdom.
It has been established in the medical literature that self-medicating with imperfect information about either the use of a genuine or counterfeit drug or based on wrong self-diagnosis of ailment, which is predominant especially in developing countries, is a risky investment in health capital. This paper models the decision to self-medicate and the demand for self-medicated drugs. We suppose that investment in self-medication depends on the perception of its effectiveness. The results obtained show that the decision to self-medicate depends on the relative price and perceived effectiveness of self-medication, the elasticity of the shadow value of health with respect to the quantity of health capital, and the relative effectiveness of self-medication in...

The spatial rice price relationships for U.S. long grain rough rice are affected by many factors besides the transportation cost between markets, such as milling, processing, cooking and nutritional value as well as physical characteristics.  This study applies a time series framework to analyze long run price relationships for Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and California long grain rice.  Johansen's test results showed that at least there are two cointegrating price vectors.  However, such a finding is not supported by the ECM model in any of the price series.

FOOD DEMAND IN MEXICO:  A QUASI-MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD APPROACH
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gould,   Brian W.; Yen,   Steven T.
A growing trend in demand analysis during the last two decades is the use of household survey data.  Detailed demographic information collected in these surveys allows treatment of heterogeneous preference and the typically large sample also allows estimation of large demand system that are otherwise not possible with aggregate time series.  However, the use of household-level data is complicated by the censoring of the dependent variable especially for systems with disaggregated commodity definitions.  To overcome the numerical problem of evaluating truncated multi-dimensional error term distributions, a Quasi-maximum likelihood method is used to estimate a censored 9-commodity demand system for a sample of urban Mexican households.  The impacts of...

Public Policy and Endogenous Beliefs: The Case of Genetically Modified Food
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lusk,   Jayson L.; Rozan,   Anne.
When individuals have limited information and are uncertain about the quality of a good, government policy, or the lack thereof, can serve as a signal to consumers about the likelihood of realizing alternatives states of nature. In this paper, we focus on a controversial beliefs about government intervention: the market for genetically modified food. Data from a mail survey were used to estimate an econometric model where beliefs about labeling policy, beliefs about the safety of genetically modified food, and willingness to consume genetically modified food are endogenously determined. Results indicate that consumers who believe the government has a mandatory labeling policy for genetically modified food are more likely to believe genetically modified...

THE DYNAMICS OF FEEDER CATTLE MARKET RESPONSES TO CORN PRICE CHANGE
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Anderson,   John D.; Trapp,   James N.
A feeder-calf price model is estimated which incorporates elements of break-even budget analysis, including estimates of placement weights, slaughter weights, ration cost, and feed-conversion rates.  From this model, a corn price multiplier is calculated which quantifies the corn/feeder-calf price relationship.  Because the multiplier includes information on cattle weight, feed conversion, and ration cost, it also provides insight into how feeding programs are altered in response to corn price changes.  Changes in feeding programs which occur in response to corn price changes are illustrated with dynamic simulation based on weight, ration cost, and price models presented here.

DYNAMIC STOCHASTIC SIMULATION OF DAILY CASH AND FUTURES COTTON PRICES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bailey,   DeeVon; Brorsen,   B. Wade; Richardson,   James W.
A dynamic model of daily cash and futures prices for cotton was developed using time series analysis.  The time series model was included in a recursive Monte Carlo simulation model.  Validation of the model was performed with a stochastic, dynamic simulation of the estimated model over the observation period 1975-1982 and with a static, deterministic out-of-sample forecast from December 9, 1981 through March 9, 1982.  The model was then used to incorporate futures trading strategies into a policy simulation model.

Forecasting Price Trends in the U.S. Avocado (Persea americana Mill.) Market
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Evans,   Edward A.; Nalampang,   Sikavas.
The United States is the world’s leading importer and second-largest producer of avocados. U.S. per capita consumption increased from 0.69 kg in 1998 to 1.48 kg in 2007. The factors responsible include aggressive promotion of the health benefits, increased disposable income, and a rapidly growing Hispanic population. Such factors enabled the prices of avocados to remain fairly attractive over the period. However, with the recent downturn in the U.S. economy and prospects of further increases in supplies of avocados, there are concerns that prices could fall substantially. With the aid of multiple-regression analysis, this paper forecasts avocado prices up to the year 2012.

Price asymmetry in spatial fed cattle markets is investigated for three large markets (Texas Panhandle, Nebraska, and Colorado) and one small market (Utah).  Little support is found for the notion that equilibrium prices for fed cattle are asymmetric between locations.  However, adjustments to price increases and price decreases occur at different speeds.

A Censored Incomplete Demand System is applied to household expenditures for edible oil in India. The results show that edible peanut oil is still a luxury good in India, whereas expenditure elasticities for other edible oils are relatively low. The food habit, location, education of household heads, and other demographic variables have significant effects on the choice of edible oils.

Estimating a Demand System with Seasonally Differenced Data
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Harri,   Ardian; Muhammad,   Andrew; Anderson,   John D.
Researchers estimating demand systems have often used annual data even though monthly or quarterly data are available. Monthly data may be avoided because with monthly data it becomes more difficult to specify seasonality, autocorrelation is more likely to be significant, and there is a greater chance of finding significant dynamics in demand.  This paper shows how to obtain consistent and asymptotically efficient estimates of a demand system using seasonal differenced data.  It also shows that several alternative estimators are either inefficient or implausible for demand systems.

A previous study showed that imposing economic restrictions improves the forecasting ability of food demand systems, thus warranting their use even when rejected in-sample.  This study attempts to determine whether this is due solely to the fact that restrictions improve degrees of freedom.  Results indicate that restrictions improve forecasting ability even when not derived from economic theory, but theoretical restrictions forecast best.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Babcock,   Bruce A.; Barr,   Kanlaya J.; Carriquiry,   Miguel A.
The U.S. ethanol industry is lobbying hard for an extension of existing ethanol import tariffs and blenders tax credits before they expire at the end of 2010. The purpose of this study is to examine the likely consequences on the U.S. ethanol industry, corn producers, taxpayers, fuel blenders, and fuel consumers if current policy is not extended. Impacts of different ethanol policies in both 2011 and 2014 were estimated.  Estimates were obtained by developing a new stochastic model that calculates market-clearing prices for U.S. ethanol, Brazilian ethanol, and U.S. corn. The model is stochastic because market-clearing prices are calculated for 5,000 random draws of corn yields and wholesale gasoline prices.   Key assumptions in this study are that the...

The Effects of a Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Tax: Consumption, Calorie Intake, Obesity, and Tax Burden by Income
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lin,   Biing-Hwan; Smith,   Travis A.; Lee,   Jonq-Ying.
Taxing sugar-sweetened beverages has been proposed as a means to reduce calorie intake, improve diet and health, and generate revenue that governments can use to address the obesity-caused health and economic burden.  Two beverage demand systems were estimated using beverage purchase data for high-income and low-income households.  Using the estimated demand elasticities we examined the impacts of a hypothetical 20-percent effective tax rate (or about 0.5 cent per ounce) on beverage consumption, calorie intake, tax revenue and burden.  Our results suggest that such a tax would induce an average reduction of 35 and 41 calories a day among adults and children, respectively.  The tax burden is found to be regressive, although representing less than one...

Several contemporary models of consumer demand comprise complete sets on nonlinear demand functions.  Estimation methods should take into account parameter nonlinearity, cross-equation correlation, variance-covariance singularity of the disturbance terms, and various parameter restrictions.  This paper presents a theoretical discussion and some empirical results using the maximum likelihood (ML) method and the iterative version of Zellner's seemingly unrelated regression (IZEF) method in the estimation of a nonlinear system of demand equations (the linear expenditure system) when the disturbance terms are both contemporaneously and serially correlated.

Adverse trends in lamb and wool prices and the costs of most purchased inputs have submitted sheep owners to an increasing cost-price squeeze over the latter part of the last decade. This phenomenon has been the cause of concerned comment by industry leaders and has undoubtedly led to extremely low average returns to capital and severe hardship in some sectors of the sheep industry in Australia. It seems important to know how farmers investing in pasture improvement have fared in these circumstances.

Autores: Hinson,   Roger A.
Changes in consumer demand have led to a prolonged decline in per capita consumption of sweet potatoes, both fresh and processed form. With a product line of various container sizes and styles, processors may respond to changes by altering product line composition to enhance sales. Changes in quantity of individual products were contrasted to changes in nominal and real prices. Quantities were not consistently related to real prices in an inverse manner, though recent increases in total production of canned sweet potatoes have occurred while real price has decreased.

Consumers' willingness to pay for food products decreases when the food label indicates that a food product is produced with the aid of modern biotechnology. This bulletin presents empirical evidence on consumers' willingness to pay for biotech foods based on the presence or absence of labels advising that the food was prepared with the aid of biotechnology. The authors designed and conducted an experimental auction to elicit consumers' willingness to pay for "genetically modified" (GM)-labeled and standard-labeled foods under different information regimes. The evidence gathered for vegetable oil, tortilla chips, and potatoes shows that labels matter. In particular, under all information treatments, consumers discounted food items labeled "GM" by an...

A simple but new theoretical approach is used to analyse ex-ante the impact of tariff reduction. This methodology is based on the assumption of a constant price relation between each direct substitutable product. No elasticities are needed, but accurate import and domestic prices of the most sensitive and representative product of each tariff line are required. The present contribution forms a partial sector static simulation model that minimises the reduction of domestic production prices for the agricultural sector consecutive of the WTO market access negotiations of the Doha round. Results are shown on two levels whereas one of them provides rapidly a preliminary hierarchy of the sensitive products tariff lines and their optimal number. The second level...

Price Discrimination in the Context of Vertical Differentiation: An Application to Canadian Wheat Exports
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lavoie,   Nathalie.
This study examines the ability of the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) to price discriminate in bread wheat exports. This study models wheat as a vertically differentiated intermediate good and modifies the model of vertical differentiation by Mussa and Rosen to the realities of wheat import demand. The conceptual model isolates the bases of price discrimination and demonstrates that the CWB’s ability to exploit cost differences in pricing depends on the extent of the differentiation between Canadian and U.S. wheat. This model is implemented using monthly confidential price data provided by the CWB for exports to Japan, the United Kingdom, and two markets aggregating remaining exports through Canada’s west and east coasts, for 1982 1994.  The data indicate that...

Measuring the degree of price coordination between firms in a differentiated products industry is particularly challenging because it is necessary to utilize a demand system that is sufficiently flexible, allows the imposition of theoretical restrictions, and allow for the derivation of the functional form of the corresponding price reaction functions. Previous research has relied on restrictive demand systems in order to maintain the tractability of the price reaction functions. The purpose of this paper is determine whether using more flexible demand systems can yield a set of first-order profit maximization conditions that are mathematically tractable and amendable to estimation.

Florida citrus planting decisions: impacts of expected returns and price risks on varietal choice
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Brown,   Mark G.; Lee,   Jonq-Ying.
A model is developed to explain Florida citrus planting levels by variety.  The varietal choice is based on the expected prices and price variances/covariances of the varieties under consideration.  Overall planting returns are maximized for a given level of price risk.  The model's price coefficients are similar to those of the Theil and Barten Rotterdam demand model.  As in the Rotterdam model, both absolute and relative price coefficient specifications are considered, allowing an examination of restrictions related to the price risk.  The empirical analysis considers two restricted specifications -- a varietal independence model, based on the assumption that only the price variances are important for predicting planting levels, and a group independence...

This paper addresses the question of whether the export demand for soybeans and soybean products changed structurally over the 1950 to 1992 period as the U.S. agricultural sector became more integrated with the rest of the world economy. The results suggest that export demands were stable for soybeans, soybean meal and soybean oil over the sample period. Moreover, it is possible to infer conclusively that the long-run soybean and soybean product export price elasticities were in the elastic range. The implications include that for each one percent reduction in the price of soybeans, soybean meal and/or soybean oil brought about through a government program, exports increased by more than one percent, leading to a reduction in the variability of soybean and...

Commercial Disappearance and Composite Demand for Food with an Application to U.S. Meats
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Reed,   Albert J.; Levedahl,   J. William; Clark,   J. Stephen.
When elementary prices move strictly proportionately, aggregation over a group of diverse products is valid, and group demand responses can be decomposed into quality and quantity responses. This study shows that when relative elementary prices and group prices are stochastically independent, a similar decomposition is valid. Empirical results suggest consumers respond to changes in prices and income mostly by altering the quality of meat products. These findings imply that using commercial disappearance as a proxy for food demand can be misleading for policy analysis.

THE PRODUCTION THEORY APPROACH TO IMPORT DEMAND ANALYSIS: A COMPARISON OF THE ROTTERDAM MODEL AND THE DIFFERENTIAL PRODUCTION APPROACH
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Washington,   Andrew A.; Kilmer,   Richard L.
Results indicate that, when comparing the unconditional derived-demand elasticities to the unconditional consumer demand elasticities, significant differences emerge due to the differences in the first-stage estimation procedure between the differential production approach and the Rotterdam model.  In comparing the consumer demand price/corss-price elasticities to the derived-demand price/cross-price elasticities, it is clear that use of the Rotterdam model when a production approach should be used can lead to overestimation, underestimation, and incorrect signs in deriving unconditional price effects.

Strategic Pricing in a Differentiated Product Oligopoly Model: Fluid Milk in Boston
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Canan,   Basak; Cotterill,   Ronald W.
In an imperfectly competitive industry, differentiated products compete with each other with price rather than quantity as the strategic variable. Several previous studies have employed a generalized Nash Bertrand model: Liang (1989), Cotterill (1994), Cotterill, Putsis and Dhar (2000), and Kinoshita, Suzuki, Kawamura, Watanabe and Kaiser (2001); however, only Liang has explored the theoretical foundations of that model. This paper generalizes the Liang two good model to three goods. A surprising and important result follows. Price conjectural variations do not exist in models with 3 or more goods. Price reaction functions, however, exist in multiple good models. We estimate them jointly with a brand level demand system to evaluate the total impact of a...

This paper investigates the impacts of store brands (i.e., private labels) and retail characteristics (scanners, deli, bakery, and pharmacy departments, ATMs, restaurant and store size) on fluid milk prices using 1,740 supermarket-level observations from four cities. Non-parametric results reveal that although private label milk initially exerts a procompetitive effect on milk prices, eventually the effect is to raise the prices of both manufacturers' brands and private labels. Econometric results further reveal that price differentials are larger for reduced-fat milk than for whole milk and that the more enhanced the retail configuration is, the higher milk prices are.

FACTORS AFFECTING FEEDER CATTLE PRICE DIFFERENTIALS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Schroeder,   Ted C.; Mintert,   James R.; Brazle,   Frank; Grunewald,   Orlen C.
Feeder cattle prices are determined by the interaction of many factors.  This study uses 1986 and 1987 Kansas feeder cattle auction data to investigate the impact of a wide variety of physical characteristics, many of which have not been used in previous studies on feeder cattle prices.  Unlike previous studies, this analysis explicitly incorporates changes in feeder cattle market fundamentals during the data collection period and also allows price differentials to vary by sex and weight.  Weight, weight-squared, lot size, lot size-squared, health, muscling, frame size, condition, fill, breed, presence of horns, and time of sale are significant factors affecting feeder cattle prices on any given day.  Several physical traits also exhibit different seasonal...

Evidence is provided on the extent to which wheat price policies operating over the period 1953-54 to 1983-84 achieved objectives related to the levels and stability of key industry variables. The general findings are that the levels of achievement have been modest and that trade-offs have been involved. This evidence is supplementary to the evidence already available from efficiency-based studies.

FACTORS AFFECTING DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF RICE IN SIERRA LEONE
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kargbo,   Alimami M.
Sierra Leone, like most developing  countries is primarily agricultural, with about 75 percent of its population getting its living from farming.  The main characteristic of its farming is the large number of small holdings-averaging about two hectares per farm.  Most of these farms are fragmented.  Large-scale farming is a fairly recent development and the few large farms are either government or quasi-government institutions, confined to crops that require expensive machinery and timely processing.  In the country's search for new sources of economic expansion, agriculture assumed first priority.  This was due, in part, to the fact that a large percentage of the population derived its living from agriculture.  In addition, the development of agriculture...

Measuring Retail Food Price Variation: Does the Data Source Matter?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Leibtag,   Ephraim S.
The main area of focus in this paper is variation across regions and over time in the U.S. as estimated by different food price data sets. There are a variety of potential sources for food price data, but it is important to compare the relative strengths and weaknesses of the data sources in order to estimate the magnitude of the variation in average prices from the different sources.  No one data source can account for all potential measurement problems, but by estimating average food prices for similar, or even identical products, one can test for whether there are significant differences in average food prices based on the data source.

This study examined the size and the determinants of the price premium a sample of Edmonton-area consumers was willing to pay for organic wheat bread. The development of these premiums included consideration of providing information on health or environmental advantages of organic production and consideration of sensory (taste) acceptance. To do this conventional and organic wheat was grown under similar conditions and milled and baked into 60% whole wheat bread under identical conditions. Samples of these breads were presented to consumers for sensory acceptance and a survey of their attitudes, behaviours and characteristics. The survey included a closed-ended contingent valuation question to examine consumers' willingness-to-pay (WTP) premiums for the...

Agricultural Supply Response in ORANI
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Adams,   Philip D.
In the ORANI general equilibrium model, the supply behaviour of agricultural industries is the crucial element shaping the response of agriculture as a whole to any exogenous shock. In this paper, elasticity formulae which measure agricultural supply behaviour in the model are derived. These elasticities are found to be very sensitive to year-on year changes in the level of agricultural profitability, embodied within the model's data base. The appropriate procedure, therefore, is to construct a synthetic data set designed to capture the agricultural sector in a recent average year. Supply elasticities based upon these data represent the "preferred" estimates of this study.

The continuing efforts in the 104th Congress to legislate requirements for cost-benefit analysis (CBA) and the revised Office of Management and Budget guidelines for the conduct of such assessments during a regulatory rulemaking process highlight the need for a comprehensive examination of the role that CBA can play in agency decision-making. This paper summarizes the state of knowledge regarding CBA and offers suggestions for improvement in its use, especially in the context of environmental regulations.

Autores: Resano,   H.; Sanjuan,   Ana Isabel.
A quantity-dependent hedonic model is used to study consumers’ actual purchases of cured ham, recorded through scanner in Spain, between April 2003 and March 2004. A Zero Inflated Negative Binomial (ZIB) model is applied because of the high proportion of zero purchase-values and the finding of overdispersion in the data. Ham characteristics are used as explanatory variables, such as breed, origin, EU Quality Certification squemes (PDO, PGI, STG), type of brand (producer’s and distributor’s), sale format (whole leg, vacuum packaged, on request), ripening period and price. Monthly dummies variables are also added to capture a possible seasonal effect. The results show that the distributor’s brand, the whole leg sale format, the origin Teruel and its...

What are the long-term drivers of food prices? Investigating improvements in the accuracy of prediction intervals for the forecast of food prices
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Benjamin,   Catherine; Houee-Bigot,   Magalie; Tavera,   Christophe.
Over the last few years, the prices of the main agricultural raw materials have been highly volatile. The situation is unprecedented, both in the magnitude of the upward and downward volatility observed, and in the number of agricultural commodities affected. Various factors are contributing to these contrasting shifts: the role of emerging countries, changing dietary habits, an increase in energy demand related to the boom in biofuels, adverse weather conditions and speculation. In this paper we try to capture long-term relationships between crop prices and crude oil price using a partial equilibrium and times series method.  The study finds little empirical evidence that the crude oil price have a significant influence on the variation of major vegetable...

Empirical Confidence Intervals for WASDE Forecasts of Corn, Soybean and Wheat Prices
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Isengildina,   Olga; Irwin,   Scott H.; Good,   Darrel L.
This study suggests that confidence intervals for WASDE forecasts of corn, soybean, and wheat prices may be improved if they are estimated using an empirical approach.  Empirical confidence intervals are calculated following Williams and Goodman's (1971) method and use historical forecast errors to estimate forecast error distributions which is then used to predict confidence limits for future forecast errors.  Three procedures for empirical distribution estimation are compared: 1) histogram, 2) changing distribution, 3) fixed distribution.  The results suggest that the fixed distribution approach using logistic distribution provided accurate confidence intervals for WASDE corn, soybean, and wheat price forecasts.

Differentiated Demand and Supply of Wheat under Alternative European Trade Policies
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Frahan,   Bruno Henry de; Tritten,   Christian.
This paper proposes a partial equilibrium displacement model that differentiates wheat according to its end-use and country of origin to investigate the impact of alternative European trade policies on wheat supply and demand in France. Transmission, demand and supply elasticities are estimated for each class and origin of wheat. Simulation results show that rebalancing trade protection across wheat classes encourages domestic supply of high quality wheat and displaces imports from North America.

WOOL PRICE STABILISATION AND PROFIT RISK FOR WOOL USERS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Quiggin,   John C.
It has often been suggested that more stable wool prices would lead to an outward shift in the long-run demand for wool. To assess this claim it is necessary to examine different sources of risk and instability in wool prices and their impact on the risk borne by wool users. A model is presented in which the input and output decisions of a wool processor are related to interactions between the wool and yarn markets. It is concluded that, if fluctuations in final demand or exchange rates are the major sources of instability, the long-run effect of stabilising prices is to increase the risk faced by wool users and reduce that faced by wool growers.

European Chemical Policy and the United States: The Impacts of REACH

Autores: Ackerman,   Frank; Stanton,   Elizabeth A.; Massey,   Rachel.
The European Union is moving toward adoption of its new Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) policy, an innovative system of chemicals regulation that will provide crucial information on the safety profile of chemicals used in industry. Chemicals produced elsewhere, such as in the United States, and exported to Europe will have to meet the same standards as chemicals produced within the European Union. What is at stake for the U.S. is substantial: we estimate that chemical exports to Europe that are subject to REACH amount to about $14 billion per year, and are directly and indirectly responsible for 54,000 jobs. Revenues and employment of this magnitude dwarf the costs of compliance with REACH, which will amount to no more than...

The Impact of Biofuels Policy on Agribusiness Stock Prices
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Tepe,   Fatma Sine; Du,   Xiaodong; Hennessy,   David A.
Corn markets are important for many industries, including the seed, fertilizer, meat production/processing and agricultural machinery sectors, all of which are highly concentrated. Oligopoly theory suggests that corn input and field equipment suppliers likely benefit from policies that support corn markets, such as U.S. biofuels policy, while meat companies are likely adversely affected. Employing a linear two-factor (S&amp;P 500 and corn prices) equilibrium asset pricing model, this study investigates the impact of biofuels policy on U.S. agribusiness and food processing firm stock prices. Conditional heteroskedasticity in stock returns is accounted for using a GARCH(1,1) model. Corn price increases are found to have positive effects on excess stock...

Both market structure and corporate practices of Archer Daniels Midland fostered the implementation of the largest price-fixing conspiracies seen in modern times. The overcharges imposed on U.S. buyers of lysine and citric acid during 1994-1995 by ADM and its co-conspirators amounted to at least $250 million, and the total amount of public penalties, private damages, and legal costs exceeds $666 million.  Perpetrators of price-fixing now face monetary exposures that are five times the amount of the harm caused to buyers.  These events have spurred renewed attention by U.S. antitrust authorities in prosecuting international cartels.

An understanding of the responsiveness of food demand to price changes is critical to decision making in the area of food policy. The estimation of these elasticities is difficult in developing countries, such as Fiji, due to a lack of reliable data. We review the existing data on food demand elasticities in Fiji and examine alternative approaches to their estimation given the data constraints present. We use a stated preference approach to provide a new set of estimates of food demand elasticities for Fiji using cross section data.

The main objective of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the U.S. Foreign Market Development (FMD) program on the European Union imported demand for shelled peanuts. We find that the FMD program had a positive effect on the EU demand for U.S. shelled peanuts. This result suggests that the information provided to manufactures through the FMD has helped to maintain U.S. peanuts in the EU markets. The marginal return per EURO dollars of U.S. export promotion expenditures on the FMD program is 277 EURO dollars for U.S. shelled peanuts.

Valuation of Safety-Branded and Traceable Free Range Chicken in Ha Noi: Results from a Field Experiment
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ifft,   Jennifer; Roland-Holst,   David W.; Zilberman,   David.
The valuation of traceable or safety-branded food by consumers in developing countries affected by diseases such as avian influenza, or with food safety issues in general, is very difficult to identify. Products that have safety-branding are not common, and food is usually purchased by bargaining at informal markets. However, valuation of traceability has important implications for livestock disease policies as well as agricultural sector development. Through developing a short-term certified supply chain for free range chicken in Hanoi, we were able to conduct a combined field experiment and detailed household survey to measure the valuation of this type of poultry. We find that consumers in urban Hanoi on average have a welfare gain of about $1 per whole...

Price volatility in ethanol markets
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Serra,   Teresa; Zilberman,   David.
Our paper looks at how price volatility in the Brazilian ethanol industry changes over time and across markets. Demand and supply forces in the energy and food markets are likely to ensure that crude oil, ethanol and feedstock prices co-move in the long-run. Hence, when assessing price volatility changes and spillovers in the ethanol industry, one should also pay attention to the notion of cointegration. Until recently, the methods proposed to estimate cointegration relationships, have not explicitly considered time varying volatility in the data. Seo (2007) suggests an estimator of the cointegration vector that explicitly models conditional heteroskedasticity. More specifically, he proposes a maximum likelihood estimator that estimates the error...

The Relative Performance of In-Sample and Out-of-Sample Hedging Effectiveness Indicators
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dahlgran,   Roger A.
Hedging effectiveness is the proportion of price risk removed through hedging. Empirical hedging studies typically estimate a set of risk minimizing hedge ratios, estimate the hedging effectiveness statistic, apply the estimated hedge ratios to a second group of data, and examine the robustness of the hedging strategy by comparing the hedging effectiveness for this "out-of-sample" period to the "in-sample" period. This study focuses on the statistical properties of the in-sample and out-of-sample hedging effectiveness estimators. Through mathematical and simulation analysis we determine the following: (a) the R2 for the hedge ratio regression will generally overstate the amount of price risk reduction that can be achieved by hedging, (b) the properly...

On the Relationship of Expected Supply and Demand to Futures Prices
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chua,   Hans Walter; Tomek,   William G.
Expectations about future economic conditions are important determinants of commodity prices. This paper presents a relatively simple model that makes futures prices for corn a function of expected production and inventories and of variables that account for demand shifts. The intent is to provide an historical, objective context for new price and quantity observations, which may help market analysts.

Imperfect competition in the fresh tomato industry
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hadj Djelloul,   Mohammed; Requillart,   Vincent; Simioni,   Michel.
In this paper, we analyse the market power of the retail industry in the French tomato market. Following the methods developed in the New Empirical Industrial Organization, we develop a structural model of this industry. The analysis is based on detailed data on final consumption and prices at both shipper and consumer levels for two types of tomatoes in France. The structural model is composed of a system of demand equation and supply equation. Supply equation includes a term that represents the market power of the retail sector. We use different models of demand in order to test the robustness of our results. We show that i) elasticity of demand varies during the year ii) the retail sector exercise only a "moderate" market power iii) the estimated...

Mandatory Livestock Price Reporting, Market Transparency and Grid Price Dispersion
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fausti,   Scott W.; Qasmi,   Bashir A.; Li,   Jing; Diersen,   Matthew A.
Mandatory livestock price reporting (MPR) was implemented in April 2001. Empirical evidence indicates a significant change in the weekly variability of publicly reported fed cattle grid premiums and discounts occurred after MPR implementation. We evaluated the effect of increased market transparency resulting from implementation of MPR on grid premium and discount dispersion lelvels. Empirical results suggest that increased trransparency is compatible with either an increase or a decrease in dispersion. These results suggest that during the pre-MPR periods, the weekly premium and discount point estimators were derived from a non-representative sample.

EXPORT DEMAND FOR U.S. ALMONDS: IMPACTS OF U.S. EXPORT PROMOTION PROGRAMS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Onunkwo,   Izuchukwu M.; Epperson,   James E.
The purpose of this study was to estimate the impact of the major factors affecting the export demand for U.S. almonds in Asia and the E.U. which together import about 93% of U.S. almond exports.  The primary objective pertained to the impacts of federal promotion programs on the foreign demand for U.S. almonds.  Based on previous literature, a single-equation framework was specified for estimation of the almond model.  Based on promotion elasticities, impacts on almond export revenue from promotion were evaluated.  The marginal return per dollar to decreasing promotion expenditures for almonds was $47.74 for Asia, reflecting prudent promotion expenditures for more efficient utilization of promotion funds as the Asian market for U.S. almonds approaches...

SAMUELSON'S FULL DUALITY AND THE USE OF DIRECTED ACYCLICAL GRAPHS: THE BIRTH OF CAUSALLY IDENTIFIED DEMAND SYSTEMS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Stockton,   Matthew C.; Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Bessler,   David A.
To date, mixed demand systems have been all but ignored in empirical work.  A possible reason for the scarcity of such applications is that one needs to know a priori which prices and quantities are endogenous in the mixed demand system.  By using a directed acyclical graph (DAG), causal relationships among price and quantity variables are identified giving rise to a causally identified demand system (CIDS).  A statistical comparison is made of the traditional Rotterdam model with a Rotterdam mixed demand system identified through the use of a DAG.  In this analysis, the respective Rotterdam demand systems consist of five products:  steak, ground beef, roast beef, pork, and chicken.

Price effects of an emissions trading scheme in New Zealand
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lennox,   James A.; Andrew,   Robbie; Forgie,   V.
Implementation of a New Zealand Emission Trading Scheme (NZ ETS) will begin in 2008, beginning with forestry, subsequently including energy and industrial emissions, and finally, agricultural GHGs from 2013. Reducing agricultural emissions is a major challenge for New Zealand as they account for over half its total GHG emissions. On the other hand, agriculture is critical to the economy, with its basic and processed products accounting for a third of exports. We use an environmental input-output model to analyse direct and indirect cost impacts of emissions pricing on food and fibre sectors. At NZ $25/t CO₂-eq, costs of energy-related emissions on the food and fibre sectors are very small; however, costs of agricultural emissions post 2013 would...

A hedonic price function for Argentinean wines in the U.S market is estimated in order to evaluate the effect of the most important attributes of wine on price. Results show that labeling practices and the choice of the right wine quality attributes are far more influential on price than expert panel opinions or oenological wine improvements such as aging.

ALTERNATIVE CALIBRATION AND AUCTION INSTITUTIONS FOR PREDICTING CONSUMER WILLINGNESS-TO-PAY FOR NON-GENETICALLY MODIFIED CORN CHIPS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lusk,   Jayson L.; Daniel,   M. Scott; Mark,   Darrell R.; Lusk,   Christine L.
This study explores two important issues in experimental economics: calibration and auction institution. Consumer willingness-to-pay bids for corn chips made with non-genetically modified ingredients are elicited from a 1st price and 2nd price auction. Results suggest that responses to scale differential questions, in a survey, accurately predict consumer willingness-to-pay bids. The 2 nd price auction induces a greater percentage of marginal bidders to offer a positive bid than a 1st price auction. However, average bid levels in the 1st and 2nd price auctions were not statistically different from one other. In a small and unrepresentative sample, 70 percent of student participants were unwilling to pay to exchange a bag of genetically modified corn chips...

Autores: Jones,   Rodney D.; Schroeder,   Ted C.; Mintert,   James R.; Brazle,   Frank.
Quality factors affecting fed cattle prices were examined during a six-month period in southwestern Kansas. Transaction prices were significantly affected by the percentage of cattle expected to grade choice times the choice-to-select carcass price spread, finish uniformity, average weight, dressing percentage, breed, number of cattle purchased by a single packer on a given day, the packer, the feedyard, the day-of-the-week the cattle were sold, and the number of bids received. Asking prices were significantly affected by many of the same factors. Asking and transaction prices reflected approximately 25 percent of the packer value differentials for expected carcass quality grades.

PRICE PREMIUMS FROM A CERTIFIED FEEDER CALF PRECONDITIONING PROGRAM
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ward,   Clement E.; Lalman,   David L.
Preconditioning calf programs, while not new, are becoming more prevalent. They provide benefits to cow-calf producers while adding value for feeder cattle buyers. However, questions remain regarding the marginal returns from marketing preconditioned calves exceeds the marginal costs for preconditioning. This paper reports estimates from two models to determine the premium paid by feeder cattle buyers for preconditioned calves in the Oklahoma Quality Beef Network (OQBN) program. One model assumes feeder calf characteristics are independent as most previous research. The other assumes interdependency between several characteristics that are affected by preconditioning. Data were from seven feeder calf sales in Oklahoma in 2001 and another seven sales in...

Hedonic and Utilitarian Motives for Consumers’ Learning Processes: The GDA Food Label
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Puspa,   Jofi; Kuhl,   Rainer.
As one of the stimuli flows in the food market the GDA-labeling was established in 2007. The original concept of introducing this label was to provide information that may bring about more healthy eating patterns. Four years after launching it seems relevant to understand how well the consumers have adopted to that information. Consumer learning that occurs through exposure to external sources of information such as GDA-labeling can happen consciously or subconsciously, on a high involvement level or due to the presence of more conducive situation. Therefore understanding learning process and its substantiations such as utilitarian and hedonic motives are salient issues. This study has aims to understand learning process of GDA-label and to determine two...

The Spatial Agent-based Competition Model (SpAbCoM)

Autores: Graubner,   Marten.
The paper presents a detailed documentation of the underlying concepts and methods of the Spatial Agent-based Competition Model (SpAbCoM). For instance, SpAbCoM is used to study firms’ choices of spatial pricing policy (GRAUBNER et al., 2011a) or pricing and location under a framework of multi-firm spatial competition and two-dimensional markets (GRAUBNER et al., 2011b). While the simulation model is briefly introduced by means of relevant examples within the corresponding papers, the present paper serves two objectives. First, it presents a detailed discussion of the computational concepts that are used, particularly with respect to genetic algorithms (GAs). Second, it documents SpAbCoM and provides an overview of the structure of the simulation model and...

Firm Entry, Firm Exit, and Urban‐Biased Growth
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Yu,   Li; Jolly,   Robert W.; Orazem,   Peter F.
We introduce a taxonomy that classifies industries using three criteria: net growth in the number of firms; the interrelationship between firm entry and firm exit; and the degree of urban bias in industry growth. We show that in 9 of 15 two-digit NAICS industries investigated, there is evidence of urban bias consistent with a comparative advantage to starting a business in urban markets. The urban advantage is due primarily to faster firm entry rates. Urban and rural firms have similar firm exit rates, consistent with a presumption that there are equal expected profit rates conditional on entry across markets. Urban areas grow faster because they induce faster firm entry and not because urban firms are more likely to succeed.

This paper provides a consumer-driven definition of traditional food products (TFP) and investigates the image European consumers have about this food product category. Data were collected from representative consumer samples in six European countries, including Belgium, France, Italy, Norway, Poland and Spain, with a total sample size of 4,828 participants. European consumers define traditional foods as well-know products, products that one can eat very frequently, and products that were already eaten by grandparents. Although positive, association of TFP with naturalness and low processing is less pronounced. Sensory, health- and environment-related attribute perceptions contribute positively to the image of TFP, whereas perceived convenience, price, and...

ESTIMATING CROSS ELASTICITIES OF DEMAND FOR BEEF
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Wohlgenant,   Michael K.
This paper examines the extent to which observed changes in per capita beef consumption can be accounted for by changes in relative prices and per capita real income.  Particular attention was given to specifying the functional form by focusing on the nature of demand shifts over time.  These considerations led to selection of the Fourier flexible form with a Fourier series expansion in relative meat prices.  The results support the hypothesis that recent shifts in demand for beef can be attributed to changes in relative prices of competing meats, especially poultry.

The Food versus Fuel Debate: Implications for Consumers
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Harrison,   R. Wes.
The effects of biofuel production on commodity prices and their transmission to retail food prices are discussed. Factors driving higher commodity prices are tight global supplies and increased demand of corn ethanol in the short term. Evidence suggests that higher corn prices contribute to food price inflation for some food items. These include eggs, poultry, pork, beef and milk. The findings imply that food price inflation for these items is related to increased production of corn ethanol, primarily because of high oil prices. Higher oil prices also increase fuel and energy costs, which increase marketing costs for all food categories.

This work carries out a hedonic price analysis in the Italian grappa market. We use a dataset composed of around 15.576 observations of retail chain prices (related to transactions taken place in Italy in the period 1997-2004) and product characteristics. We estimate the implicit price of the main product attributes. Results show that particularly bottle format, high alcohol content and brand affect the consumer’s willingness-to-pay for grappa. In particular, the Prime Uve variable presents statistically significant, positive estimated coefficients, with high magnitude, which we interpreted as a “fads and fashion effect”. In addition, we are able to capture consumer taste evolution over time and consumer taste differences in space (different consumer...

CONSUMER WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR PESTICIDE-FREE FRESH PRODUCE
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Misra,   Sukant K.; Huang,   Chung L.; Ott,   Stephen L.
The study uses primary data collected from a survey conducted in Georgia to analyze consumer preferences for testing and certification of fresh produce and consumers' willingness to pay for fresh produce that is certified as free of pesticide residues (FPR). An ordered probit model was estimated to identify the impacts of various exogenous variables on the probability of consumers' willingness to pay for a number of alternative price premiums. The results indicate that consumers' willingness to pay differs with respect to a number of factors. The study concludes that most of the consumers recommend testing and certification, but they oppose large price markups for certified-FPR fresh produce.

This paper focuses on some emerging and recurring issues of wool promotion policy. In particular it examines the implications for wool promotion of recent developments in raw wool marketing policy. The issues analysed are the relationship between International Wool Secretariat (IWS) promotion and wool stockpiles held by statutory authorities, market development for wool, the integration of IWS activities with those of statutory wool marketing authorities and the future organisation and control of IWS.  These issues are real and significant ones even if largely unsuspected by the majority of woolgrowers. Indeed, unless they are satisfactorily resolved, serious strains could arise within the partnership that forms the IWS. The eventual outcome could be the...

ADM was at the center of two large global price-fixing conspiracies.  Buyers were overcharged $116 to $378 million in the United States.  Market structure and corporate management style facilitated these cartels.  The criminal prosecutions and defendants' legal strategies were both laudatory, but civil plaintiffs were short-changed.  ADM has undergone severe management restructuring, but the effectiveness of apprehending global cartels with national legal enforcement is questionable.

Insider Power, Outsider Ineffectiveness and Product Market Competition: Evidence from Australia
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dobbie,   Michael.
Insider-outsider theories have been advanced to explain a range of phenomena, principally the persistence of unemployment. This paper uses data from the Australian Workplace Industrial Relations Survey 1995, and regional labour force survey data, to test this model. The paper also examines how the extent of product market competition faced by a firm influences the ability of insiders to ignore outsiders in wage setting. The paper finds provisional support for the insider-outsider distinction, and for the idea that insider power is enhanced when product market competition is weak.

IDENTIFYING THE EFFECTS OF GENERIC ADVERTISING ON THE HOUSEHOLD DEMAND FOR FLUID MILK AND CHEESE:  A TWO-STEP PANEL DATA APPROACH
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Schmit,   Todd M.; Dong,   Diansheng; Chung,   Chanjin; Kaiser,   Harry M.; Gould,   Brian W.
A two-step model with sample selection is applied to panel data of U.S. households to estimate at-home demand for fluid milk and cheese, incorporating advertising expenditures.  The model consistently accounts for sample-selection bias, unobserved household heterogeneity, and temporal correlation.  Generic advertising programs for fluid milk and cheese were effective at increasing conditional purchase quantities, with very little effect on the probability of purchase.  In contrast to aggregate studies, the long-run generic advertising elasticities for cheese were larger than for those of fluid milk.  Advertising response varied considerably across sub-product classes, while branded advertising expenditures were largely insignificant.

National Brand and Private Label Pricing and Promotional Strategy
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Volpe,   Richard J., III.
In this paper I use a unique and rich data set on prices and promotions from major US supermarkets to examine the nature of National Brand and Private Label interaction. Private labels are priced and promoted competitively with NBs, in a manner suggesting that retails are careful not to lose private label market share during times of national brand promotions. The price margin between the two types of products continues to fall in US supermarkets, and the major determinants of the price differences between the two are promotional frequency and market concentration.

Price volatility in ethanol markets
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Serra,   Teresa; Zilberman,   David.
Our paper looks at how price volatility in the Brazilian ethanol industry changes over time and across markets by using a new methodological approach suggested by Seo (2007). The main advantage of Seo’s proposal over previously existing methods is that it allows to jointly estimate the cointegration relationship between the price series investigated and the multivariate GARCH process. Our results suggest that crude oil prices not only influence ethanol price levels, but also their volatility. Increased volatility in crude oil markets results in increased volatility in ethanol markets. Ethanol prices, on the other hand, influence sugar price levels and an increase in their volatility levels also impacts, though less strongly, on sugar markets.

Autores: Panagiotou,   Dimitrios.
There have been concerns about the increasing concentration in the meat packing industry. But this increased concentration may be due to various types of cost economies. In this paper we prove the existence of scale economies that might justify the increased consolidation in the industry.

Consumer's behaviour with respect to meat demand in the presence of animal disease concerns: the special case of consumers who eat bison, elk, and venison
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Myae,   Aye C.; Goddard,   Ellen W.
Prion diseases have raised concerns in consumer’s minds about food safety associated with meat world-wide. Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) and Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) both exist in Canada and consumer markets for beef, bison, elk and deer may have been affected by the diseases.  While numerous studies have examined Canadian consumer beef purchasing behavior in the presence of BSE (Lomeli (2005), John(2007)), no examination of the impact of the animal diseases on consumer behavior for households who consume bison, elk and venison as part of their protein intake has been undertaken. In this study, meat consumption behavior for these specific households is examined, in particular, examining meat substitution possibilities between the exotic meats...

Actual Media Reports on GM Foods and Chinese Consumers' Willingness to Pay for GM Soybean Oil
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hu,   Wuyang; Zhong,   Funing; Ding,   Yulian.
Information has been proven to have significant impacts on consumers' behavior and willingness to pay (WTP). In this study, information on GM soybean oil is given in the form of real-life cases involving GM food. These cases recorded from actual media reports. Using a hybrid of the double-bounded and payment care elicitation approaches, Chinese consumers' WTP for soybean oil is examined both before and after these cases are presented to them. Results indicate that media reports on positive cases do not increase consumers' WTP significantly, while reports on negative cases drastically lower their WTP.

Modeling the Structural Change in American Frozen Catfish Fillet Demand: An Analysis of Country of Origin Labeling and the Implementation of an Import Tariff
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Nalley,   Lawton Lanier.
This paper uses the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) model to analyze two issues 1) The effect of the implementation of mandatory country of origin labeling and 2) the effect of the tariff on Vietnamese basa. The data would suggest that the first effort (COOL), in 2002, of the CFA to help protect domestic production may have actually had adverse effects. That is, by mandating that Vietnamese catfish be labeled as basa, a new market was created. This new market seems to have favorably differentiated the Vietnamese product from the American product. The second attempt to protect the domestic industry was to implement a tariff on all imports in February 2003. Since the market had been segmented by the mandatory COOL (2002) before the tariff implementation...

U.S. Citrus Import Demand: Seasonality and Substitution
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Baldwin,   Katherine L.; Jones,   Keithly G.
Citrus fruits make up one-fifth of all fresh fruit consumed in the United States. Given the increasing importance of imported citrus in the diet of American consumers, it is perhaps surprising that no import demand analysis of U.S. citrus has been conducted. Using quarterly U.S. import data for six citrus commodities, we employed a demand systems model and evaluated aspects of seasonality. The results suggest wide variations in price responses to different types of imported citrus. The average amplitude and phase shift suggest that all citrus fruits exhibit some seasonality in their imports, likely a result of peak harvesting schedules of exporters.

Autores: Njonou,   Rabelais Yankam; Frahan,   Bruno Henry de; Surry,   Yves R.
This study has used a corrected likelihood ratio, with AIDS and Rotterdam demand models, to test separability in three separable (A, B, C) wheat import demand structures on the French common wheat market. It appears from the study that the three separable Rotterdam structures are accepted by the test, while only two of them (B and C) are accepted in the case of AIDS at 5% level of significance. Meanwhile, model B seems to be more indicated in demand analysis with AIDS since it is the only one accepted at 15% level of significance. The results obtained demonstrate not only the necessity to test separability in demand structures, but also the necessity to know how the allocation models can be used for demand analysis purpose. The study has also shown a great...

A COMPOSITE SYSTEM DEMAND ANALYSIS FOR FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES IN THE UNITED STATES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: You,   Zhikang; Epperson,   James E.; Huang,   Chung L.
Price and expenditure elasticities at retail level for 11 fresh fruits and 10 fresh vegetables were estimated by employing a composite demand system approach and using annual data. Most fresh fruits and vegetables were found to respond significantly to changes in their own prices but insignificantly to changes in total expenditures. The demand for fresh fruit group appeared to have had a clear upward trend since 1973. However, no significant trends were found in the demands for individual fresh fruits or vegetables. The study partially incorporated the interdependent demand relationships between fresh fruits (vegetables) and all other commodities, yet effectively avoided the problem of insufficient degrees of freedom.

Autores: Marceau,   Ian W.
Multiple regression estimates of demand and price relationships for fresh beef, lamb and mutton in the N.S.W. livestock auction, wholesale, and retail markets during the period from January 1951 to June 1963 are presented. The results show that direct price elasticities of demand were negative, and of greatest absolute value in the retail market. Mutton is shown to have been a close substitute for beef and lamb, but the latter were not close substitutes with respect to price.

Effects of Lamb Promotion on Lamb Demand and Imports
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Williams,   Gary W.; Dang,   Trang.
Three key questions regarding lamb promotion are addressed: (1) Have industry efforts to promote lamb shifted out the total demand for lamb? (2) Have any returns to producers achieved been greater than the cost of the promotion? (3) What has been the effect of lamb promotion on the lamb import share? The first question is addressed through an econometric analysis of the U.S. retail demand for lamb which takes into account the effects of lamb advertising and promotion expenditures. The results then are used to calculate a benefit-cost ratio for lamb promotion in answer to the second question. An econometric analysis of the import share of U.S. lamb consumption provides the basis for addressing the third question. Lamb promotion is found to have increased...

The purpose of this paper is to study the price behaviour of fresh produce at the retail level of two leading supermarkets, Tesco and Sainsbury, with the purpose of gaining knowledge about their interaction. We focus the study on six products from the fresh fruits and vegetable group (i.e., tomatoes, Bramley’s apples, white cabbage, cucumbers, Iceberg lettuce and Round lettuce) due to the fact on the one hand it is a less complex supply chain (e.g., perishable product, less number of intermediaries) and on the other hand, because during the last 20 years the group has significantly evolved with supermarkets becoming the major players in the chain. The empirical methodology consisted of using Granger causality tests to establish the relationship between the...

Autores: House,   Lisa; Mullady,   Joy; Lobb,   Alexandra E.; House,   Mark.
Unlike traditional demographic variables that are based on individual characteristics, social network analysis examines the various relationships between people. The basis of network analysis is to understand how actors are located within a network.  Self reported data is collected to describe the degree of the knowledge and trust between each pair of participants in this study. Using methods from graph theory the resulting matrices are analyzed resulting in the assignment of degrees of connection among the participants.  This research tests whether social networks can be used to predict food product adoption in a multi-country setting. The goal of this paper is to determine if variables that represent different aspects of group structure can better...

Options for Supply Management in Canada with Trade Liberalization
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Barichello,   Richard R.; Cranfield,   John A.L.; Meilke,   Karl D.
Following the Uruguay Round of trade negotiations Canada replaced its import quotas on sensitive products with tariff rate quotas. The over-quota tariffs on those products operating under domestic supply management schemes (dairy and poultry products) ranged from a low of 155 percent on turkey to a high of 299 percent on butter. These tariffs have effectively blocked over quota imports and are likely to continue to prevent imports, under most market conditions, given the likely range of tariff cuts proposed for sensitive products following a successful completion of the Doha Round. However, it’s argued that tariff cuts in the post-Doha Round will severely limit Canada’s ability to restrict imports and it is important to use the next 15 years to better...

Duopoly Competition in Supermarket Industry: The Case of Seattle-Tacoma Milk Market
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chidmi,   Benaissa; Murova,   Olga I.
The Seattle-Tacoma consumers have been paying higher prices for fresh milk than consumers in other Western states of United States. For instance, the retail price for whole milk averaged $3.27/gallon during the period of April 1999- April 2003 in Seattle-Tacoma, while it did not go beyond $2.86/gallon in most of the large metropolitan areas in Western U.S, during the same period (Carman and Sexton, 2006). In addition, retail prices in Seattle-Tacoma do not respond similarly to farm price increases and decreases. Supermarkets are prompt to pass on to consumers any increase in farm price, while they do not pass or lag behind when farm price decreases. The present study attempts to analyze the pricing conduct of supermarket chains in a duopoly setting using a...

THE ROLE OF LABELLING IN CONSUMERS’ FUNCTIONAL FOOD CHOICES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Zou,   Ning Ning (Helen); Hobbs,   Jill E.
Given the credence nature of functional food attributes labelling plays a key role in allowing consumers to make informed choices about foods with enhanced health attributes. The degree to which a particular jurisdiction permits health claims for food products and the type of allowable health claim influence the information set available to consumers. In Canada the regulatory environment governing health claims for functional food products is somewhat more restrictive than in other jurisdictions, including the United States. Food manufacturers therefore also use visual imagery to suggest a health benefit, such as the picture of a red heart to imply that a product has heart health benefits. The paper characterizes these labelling strategies as “partial...

Autores: Zheng,   Yuqing; Kaiser,   Harry M.
As a first effort at modeling nonalcoholic beverage demand in a systemwide framework that includes bottled water, this article examines the impact of advertising on the demand for nonalcoholic beverages in the United States. We employed an AIDS (almost ideal demand system) model of five jointly estimated equations that included advertising expenditures as explanatory variables to evaluate annual U.S. consumption of nonalcoholic beverages for 1974 through 2005. Results suggest that advertising increases demand for fluid milk, soft drinks, and coffee and tea, but not for juice or bottled water. Advertising spillover effects occur in over 50 percent of the cases considered, and such effects can be substantial, particularly for advertising of soft drinks, and...

Comparison of Hedging Cost with Other Variable Input Costs
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Riley,   John Michael; Anderson,   John D.
Recent spikes in commodity prices have led to higher margin amounts and option premiums. For the most part, producers have always attributed their lack of use in reducing risk via futures and options markets to the high cost associated with the use of these markets. This study determines the relative costs of hedging with futures and options and compares these with the costs of other variable inputs. We find that with the exception of hedging corn with both tools and soybeans with options the costs of hedging has increased at roughly the same rate as all other inputs.

Economic Surplus Measurement in Multi-Market Models
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Zhao,   Xueyan; Mullen,   John D.; Griffith,   Garry R.
Despite continuing controversy, economic surplus concepts have continued to be used in empirical cost-benefit analyses as measures of welfare to producers and consumers.  In this paper, the issue of measuring changes in producer and consumer surplus resulting from exogenous supply or demand shifts in multi-market models is examined using a two-input and two-output equilibrium displacement model.  When markets are related through both demand and supply, it is shown that significant errors are possible when conventional economic surplus areas are used incorrectly.  The economic surplus change to producers or consumers should be measured sequentially in the two markets and then added up.

Key determinants of monthly wholesale prices for 12 beef cuts include the quantity of the specific cut, stickiness in prices, marketing costs, quantities of pork and chicken, and seasonality.  Seasonal patterns across the respective cuts are very different.  Relative to the price in December, prices at the wholesale level in other months can be as much as 6 percent lower to as much as 21 percent higher.

Pricing Weather Derivatives
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Richards,   Timothy J.; Manfredo,   Mark R.; Sanders,   Dwight R.
This paper presents a general method for pricing weather derivatives. Specification tests find that a temperature series for Fresno, California follows a mean-reverting Brownian motion process with discrete jumps and ARCH errors. Based on this process, we define an equilibrium pricing model for cooling degree day weather options. Comparing option prices estimated with three methods: a traditional burn-rate approach, a Black-Scholes-Merton approximation, and an equilibrium Monte Carlo simulation reveals significant differences. Equilibrium prices are preferred on theoretical grounds, so are used to demonstrate the usefulness of weather derivatives as risk management tools for California specialty crop growers.

Some neglected issues in food demand analysis: retail-level demand, health information and product quality
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Herrmann,   Roland; Roeder,   Claudia.
Food demand analysis is dominated by the econometric estimation of demand systems based on aggregate market data and steady progress has been made in analytical techniques. Yet some issues have been neglected in food demand analysis which are crucial for understanding recent consumption trends in industrialised countries. Three of these issues are dealt with here: analysis of food demand at the retail level; influence of health information on food demand; and importance of product quality for food demand. It is shown that answers to important questions in these areas can be given when large and unconventional data sets are used.

Price and Profit Regulation in Developing and Transition Economies, Methods Used and Problems Faced: A Survey of the Regulators
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kirkpatrick,   Colin; Parker,   David; Zhang,   Yin-Fang.
Rate of return or cost of service regulation was the traditional means by which governments, especially in the USA, regulated profitability and prices in privately-owned public utility businesses. However, rate of return regulation was associated with efficiency disincentives. Hence, in 1983 Professor Stephen Littlechild recommended the use of a price cap to regulate British Telecom when it was privatised. Price caps were later introduced for other privatised utilities in the UK, namely gas, airports, water, electricity and the railways. Similarly, other countries that privatised their utility sectors in the 1980s and 1990s often introduced price cap regimes. This paper reports the results of a questionnaire survey of the methods used to regulate profits...

Greek Beef Supply Response and Price Volatility under CAP Reforms
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Rezitis,   Anthony N.; Stavropoulos,   Konstantinos S.
This study examines the supply response of the Greek beef market and the possible effect of the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) on the Greek beef sector during the period 1993-2005. A GARCH process is used to estimate expected price and price volatility while several different symmetric, asymmetric and nonlinear GARCH models are estimated. The empirical results show that price volatility and feed price are important risk factors of the supply repose function, while the negative asymmetric price volatility which was detected implies that producers have a weak market position. Furthermore, the empirical findings confirm that the annual premium paid by EU to beef producers had a positive impact on the production level and that the change of...

Demand for Milk Produced With and Without Recombinant Bovine Somatotropin
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Misra,   Sukant K.; Clem,   Kyle D.
This study focuses on the nature of Texas consumer perception and willingness to purchase milk produced using recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST). Future, the possibility of market segmentation is analyzed by estimating the price sensitivity of consumer demand for conventionally produced milk versus rBST-produced milk. Results show that the price elasticities of demand for the two types of milk are different, indicating potential to develop niche markets for both rBST-produced and conventionally produced milk in Texas.

A Larger Slice or a Larger Pie? An Empirical Investigation of Bargaining Power in the Distribution Channel
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Draganska,   Michaela; Klapper,   Daniel; Villas-Boas,   Sofia Berto.
This research aims to provide insights into the determinants of channel profitability and the relative power in the channel by considering consumer demand and the interactions between manufacturers and retailers in an equilibrium model. In a departure from the standard empirical channel literature, which assumes that manufacturers set wholesale prices unilaterally, we explicitly model the negotiations between manufacturers and retailers. To this end, we formulate a Nash bargaining game to determine wholesale prices and thus how margins are split in the channel. Equilibrium margins are thus a function of demand primitives and of retailer and manufacturer bargaining power. Bargaining power is itself a function of exogenous retail and manufacturer...

SHORT- AND LONG-RUN DEMAND AND SUBSTITUTION OF AGRICULTURAL INPUTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fernandez-Cornejo,   Jorge.
Short- and long-run Hicksian and Marshallian elasticities are estimated, along with Morishima elasticities of substitution, using a restricted profit function and a series of decomposition equations.  Convexity in prices and concavity in quasi-fixed factors of the restricted profit function are simultaneously imposed using Bayesian techniques.  The empirical model is disaggregated in the input side, utilizes a Fuss-quadratic flexible functional form, incorporates the impact of agricultural policies, and introduces a new weather index.  The methodology is applied to Illinois's agriculture, and implications for agriculture in the Corn Belt and the Northeast are briefly discussed.

Collusion and Price Dispersion
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Connor,   John M.
While there are suggestions in applied cartel studies that price dispersion changes when cartelization of a market occurs, there are few theoretical or empirical analyses of this effect. This paper surveys the thin economic literature on the link between overt collusion and price dispersion. Formal theories and observation of cartel behavior suggest that during successfully collusive periods prices become less variable and more negatively skewed compared to relatively competitive periods. Four empirical studies of cartels verify these predictions.

Measuring Irrigation Water Efficiency with a Stochastic Production Frontier: An Application for Citrus Producing Farms in Tunisia
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dhehibi,   Boubaker; Lachaal,   Lassaad; Elloumi,   Mohamed; Messaoud,   Emna B.
The objective of this paper is to propose an alternative measure of irrigation water efficiency based on the concept of input- specific technical efficiency, which contracts with measures previously used in the literature. The proposed methodology is applied to a randomly selected sample of 144 citrus growing farms located in Nabeul (Tunisia). A stochastic production frontier approach, based on Battese and Coelli’s (1995) inefficiency effect model, is used to obtain farm-specific estimates of technical and irrigation water efficiency. In addition, a second-stage regression approach is used to identify the factors influencing irrigation water efficiency differentials across citrus growing farms. Results indicate that technical efficiency ranges from a...

Substitution between domestic and imported orange juice and impacts of U.S. tariffs on prices and production
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Brown,   Mark G.; Spreen,   Thomas H.; Lee,   Jonq-Ying.
A demand system model differentiating goods by product form and origin is developed to examine the impact of eliminating U.S. tariffs on orange-juice prices.  An empirical analysis suggests a range of tariff impacts on prices depending on the degree of substitution between products.  The model yielded similar results as alternative models when substitution was assumed to be relatively strong.  In the long run, lower, without-tariff prices can be expected to lead to lower Florida orange planting and production levels.  A sustained reduction in the U.S. OJ price of half the value of the FCOJ tariff is estimated to reduce orange planting levels by about 50% and orange production would declined by 24% by 2021-22.

Wholesale Price Discrimination: Inference and Simulation
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Villas-Boas,   Sofia Berto.
This paper makes inferences about wholesale price discrimination and uniform wholesale pricing policy in a national grocery retail market where wholesale price discrimination occurs. I estimate demand and a supply model of multiple retailers’ and manufacturers’ oligopoly-pricing behavior where manufacturers may engage in wholesale price discrimination, which allows me to recover brand level marginal costs in this market. Then I simulate the welfare effects of no wholesale price discrimination via uniform price regulation given observed data on retail and input prices and retail quantities sold and not available data on wholesale prices. This approach uses retail level scanner data on coffee produced by multiple manufacturers sold at the largest retail...

Western Australian Consumers’ Attitudes Towards Genetically Modified Canola (Brassica napus)
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Baumann,   Annette; Lumley,   Sarah; Rumley,   Dennis; Fenna,   Alan.
Products made from GM canola need wide consumer acceptance to be commercialised. This study aims to investigate whether or not Western Australian consumers would be willing to consume GM canola products, and how much they would be willing to pay for them. A survey covering 500 randomly selected Western Australians was made. Preliminary results show that more than 50% of consumers would buy non-GM canola oil, even if it costs one dollar more than the GM canola oil. It was suggested that the Australian Commonwealth and State Governments should establish adequate labelling of GM products, in order to increase consumers’ awareness. Further socio-economic research is required on GM crops.

A SUPPLY FUNCTION FOR DAIRY PRODUCTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mules,   T.J.
Results of an investigation into factors affecting the aggregate supply of dairy products in Australia are presented. Empirical estimates of the parameters of the supply function, using ordinary least squares, indicate that some concept of average prices for dairy products is a more important determinant of supply than ratios of prices of dairy products relative to prices of production substitutes such as beef cattle or sheep and lambs. The empirical results also indicate that the quota-type effects of the various metropolitan fluid milk schemes are important in determining supply. Effects of new technology on supply could not be quantified due to intercorrelation of explanatory variables.

Bargains or Rip-offs? Reference Price Effects in Conjoint Stated Demand
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hu,   Wuyang.
This study incorporates reference point effects into a stated choice survey of consumer demand for food with credence attributes. Parametric tests can be applied to the utility function to examine the existence of reference price effects. Results are consistent with prospect theory in that consumers exhibit strong and nonlinear reference price effects, with cheaper prices receiving less decision weight than higher prices. The underlying utility function is concave over lowered prices and convex over increased prices, with diminishing sensitivity in both domains. The study, however, did not find experience or consumers' attitudes to be significant in explaining reference price effects.

THE EFFECT OF E. COLI O157:H7 ON BEEF PRICES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: McKenzie,   Andrew M.; Thomsen,   Michael R.
Using an event study, we examine the impact of recalls for E. Coli O157:H7 on wholesale and farm-level beef prices.  Prices for boneless beef, a high-volume product primarily used for processing into ground beef, react negatively to recalls, suggesting incentives exist for packing firms to adopt measures that reduce the risk of contamination.  However, there is no reaction in live cattle prices and very little reaction in boxed beef prices to recall events.  This suggests short-run price responses found at the wholesale level for boneless beef do not transmit back to the farm level.

Market Power and the Demsetz Quality Critique: An Evaluation for Food Retailing

This study analyzes supermarket firm prices to determine whether prices are related to market structure and whether the Demsetz quality critique is valid.  Factor analysis is used to identify five service factors that are modeled with price as endogenous variables in a simultaneous equations framework to test whether a more concentrated market structure is related to higher service levels which, in turn, are related to higher prices (the Demsetz hypothesis) and whether a more concentrated market structure is directly related to higher price (market power hypothesis).  For this study of supermarkets in 34 local markets in six southwestern states, market share and concentration are not significantly related to any service factors.  Concentration has a...

Autores: Ge,   Jiaoju; Kilmer,   Richard L.; Washington,   Andrew A.
The objective of this paper is to provide the U.S. dairy industry with empirical estimates of Hong Kong's derived demand for imported cheese from the U.S. These estimates were used to project the effects of the European Union (E.U.) subsidy reductions on the U.S. share of Hong Kong cheese imports.  Hong Kong cheese imports from the U.S. were projected to increase by 16.96% if subsidy reductions continue at the same pace as the 1994 GATT agreement and 33.92% if reductions were twice the pace.

DETERMINANTS OF CATTLE FINISHING PROFITABILITY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Langemeier,   Michael R.; Schroeder,   Ted C.; Mintert,   James R.
Data from a western Kansas feedlot were analyzed to estimate the quantitative impacts of price and performance variables on profits per head from finishing cattle.  Sale prices, feeder prices, and corn prices had the most impact on profit variability over time.  Differences in sale prices, feeder prices, and feed conversions were important in explaining the difference in steer and heifer profits over time.  Results suggest that breakeven prices should be calculated for a range of fed cattle, feeder, and corn prices, and that these three variables need to be stochastic in representative farm modeling efforts.

A REVIEW OF ALTERNATIVE EXPECTATIONS REGIMES IN COMMODITY MARKETS: SPECIFICATION, ESTIMATION, AND HYPOTHESIS TESTING USING STRUCTURAL MODELS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Burton,   Diana M.; Love,   H. Alan.
Price expectations play a critical role in commodity markets where producers must make input decisions well before output is realized.  This paper brings together alternative expectations regimes, their estimation, and hypothesis tests for use in structural commodity models to determine their use by commodity producers.  Extrapolative mechanisms and rational expectations are considered under risk neutrality and risk aversion.  The assumptions implicit in the use of aggregate data in these models are made explicit.  Structural models using individual survey data are discussed.  While Muth's rational expectations hypothesis has found widespread acceptance in the macroeconomic literature, empirical results from industry studies indicate that commodity...

Economic Impacts in North Carolina of a Peanut Support Price and Quota Reduction
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Martin,   Laura L.; Brown,   A. Blake.
Excessive government losses and pressure from end users of peanuts have increased the likelihood of a peanut support price and quota reduction in the 1995 farm bill. This study analyzes the economic impacts of reducing the national quota support price on North Carolina farm income and rural communities. Effects of policies that reduce quota support price for Virginia-type peanuts from $675 per ton to levels of $600 and $500 per ton are estimated. Reductions in the quota support price have significant impacts on quota owners and peanut producing regions. A 10 percent reduction in quota and a $500 support price would result in a $43 million income reduction to North Carolina.

Inflation differentials among Ugandan household: 1997 - 2007
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Okidi,   John A.; Nsubuga,   Vincent.
Since the structural adjustment days of the 1990s, targeting inflation to single digit rates has remained a predominant feature of Uganda’s macroeconomic strategy towards creating and sustaining an enabling environment for poverty-reducing growth. One of the most commonly advanced arguments for this inflation targeting strategy is the minimization of the erosion of the purchasing power of the poor. Implicit in this argument is the concern that inflation hurts the poor the most. However, since different consumers purchase different bundles of goods and services depending on personal and location-specific socioeconomic characteristics, when inflation rises beyond the targeted range, it is not obvious which income group experiences a relatively higher rate of...

The paper explores the scope and sustainability of a self-enforcing cooperative agreement in the framework of a game theoretic model, where the upstream and downstream country, Burkina Faso and Ghana respectively in the Volta River Basin, bargain over the level of water abstraction in the upstream. In the model we consider the case where the downstream country, Ghana, offers a discounted price for energy export to the upstream country, Burkina Faso, to restrict its water abstraction rate in the upstream. The paper examines the benefits and sustainability of such self-enforcing cooperative arrangements between Ghana and Burkina Faso given stochastic uncertainty in the river flow. The findings of the paper suggest that at the present condition, the marginal...

Autores: Mason,   Nicole M.; Jayne,   Thomas S.; Donovan,   Cynthia; Chapoto,   Antony.
The world food and financial crises threaten to undermine the real incomes of urban consumers in eastern and southern Africa. This study investigates patterns in staple food prices, wage rates, and marketing margins for urban consumers in Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia between 1993 and 2009. There is high correlation among wage rate series for various government and private sector categories. We find that average formal sector wages rose at a faster rate than retail maize meal and bread prices in urban Kenya and Zambia between the mid-1990s and 2007. Although the 2007/08 food price crisis partially reversed this trend, the quantities of staple foods affordable per daily wage in urban Kenya and Zambia during the 2008/09 marketing season were still...

MARKET INTEGRATION TEST FOR PACIFIC EGG MARKETS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Liu,   Qinghua; Wang,   H. Holly.
This paper uses of Johansen's multivariate cointegration test to test for egg market integration of six Pacific states, Washington, Idaho, Oregon, California, Nevada, and Arizona.  We conclude that eggs from these states substitute for each other to some degree, and arbitrage possibilities through trade bind the egg prices. In addition, the Law of One Price (LOP), the case of perfect integration, is examined by testing the linear combination of cointegration vectors.  Test results show that the LOP is not satisfied even though the egg markets in the six Pacific states are highly integrated.  Arizona egg prices, California egg prices, and Washington egg prices play dominant roles on the Pacific egg market in the long run.

Aid allocation effects on growth and poverty: A CGE framework
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Twimukye,   Evarist P.; Nabiddo,   Winnie; Matovu,   John Mary.
It has been argues that increased aid causes Dutch disease as a result of appreciation of the exchange rate which reduces the competitiveness of the country's exports. In this paper, we argue that if the aid is used productively, there are both short and long term gains. Applying a recursive dynamic general equilibrium model on Uganda, we find that while the currency appreciates and some exports decline, the overall impact on growth outweighs the losses in competitiveness. In addition, it aid is used productively, poverty would be substantially reduced as long as the aid increase is sustained.

BIOFORTIFICATION, AN ALTERNATIVE TO REDUCE FOOD INSECURITY AND ITS ADVERSE EFFECTS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: A HONDURAS CASE STUDY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Perez Suarez,   Salomon.
Food insecurity can generate nutritional problems such as iron deficiency anemia, which in countries like Honduras is a moderate public health problem. The AgroSalud project is enhancing the iron content of beans and rice in order to improve the iron intake of vulnerable groups, especially children under five years and pregnant women. Iron- biofortified rice and beans together can reduce the deficit in iron intake by more than a 100% depending on the age group, farmer adoption and other variables. This, in turn, would increase the number of healthy (disability-adjusted life years, DALYs) years that the Honduran population could live.

The Price Shock Transmission during the 2007-2008 Commodity Bull Cycle: A Structural Vector Auto-Regression Approach to the "Chicken-or-Egg" Problem
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Power,   Gabriel J.; Vedenov,   Dmitry V.
Commodity and energy prices have exhibited an unprecedented increase between October 2006 and July 2008, only to fall sharply during the last months of 2008. Many explanations have been offered to this phenomenon, including steadily increasing demand from China and India, large mandated increases in ethanol production, droughts in some key agricultural producer countries, production plateaus in some major oil-producing countries, refinery capacity limits, demand pressure from the derivatives market owing to the diversification properties of commodities, etc. Clearly, agricultural input, output, and energy products are closely related economically. In addition to biofuels, the connection points include nitrogen-based solution liquid fertilizers, fossil...

FOB OR UNIFORM DELIVERED PRICING: STRATEGIC CHOICE AND WELFARE EFFECTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Zhang,   Mingxia; Sexton,   Richard J.
In most spatial markets, firms use either FOB or uniform delivered pricing, so the competitive factors motivating this choice and its welfare implications are important research questions.  Prior work on duopoly using inelastic demands leads to biased results and our model on duopsony with elastic supply eliminates the bias.

Delving into Choice Internals: A Joint Discrete Choice/Attribute Rating Model
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gubanova,   Tatiana; Volinskiy,   Dmitriy; Adamowicz,   Wiktor L.; Veeman,   Michele M.
Multi-attribute modeling has rapidly progressed from being a novelty to becoming a widely used tool of economic research. When both choice and attribute ratings data are available, a model that makes joint use of both offers informative inference opportunities. In the present study we develop a joint model which utilizes both choice and ratings data, allows for scale usage heterogeneity, is robust to violations of utility continuity and completeness. The model is used to obtain WTP estimates for genetically-modified content and country-of-origin attributes in an survey-based study of Canola oil labeling. The median survey respondent's WTP for non-GM Canola oil was found to be CA$0.92/liter. The median WTP for non-specification of GM content was found to be...

Old World Wines Revisited: Consumers' Valuation of Spanish and German Wines in the UK Wine Market
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Steiner,   Bodo E.
The mid 1990s was a pivotal period for the UK retail wine market, as New World Wines started to expand significantly at the expense of Old World Wines. This paper reviews supply and demand-side characteristics of the UK wine market during this period, and the underlying wine labeling scheme, before assessing how wines from Old World wine producing countries were valued by consumers in the British wine market. Following a more detailed discussion of econometric estimation issues, hedonic price analysis is applied in order to analyze consumers’ valuation of wine label attributes of Spanish and German wines sold in Britain in 1994.

Country and border effects in the transmission of maize prices in Eastern Africa: evidence from a semi-parametric regression model
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ihle,   Rico; von Cramon-Taubadel,   Stephan; Zorya,   Sergiy.
This study uses a rich dataset of 85 market pairs between January 2000 and October 2008 for Kenya, Tanzanian and Uganda, the three largest member countries of the East Africa Community, to analyze the factors determining national and cross-national maize price transmission. Although the three countries are members of the community’s customs union and they each claim to pursue maize trade without borders, their agricultural trade policies still differ, thus affecting prices and trade flows to different extents. This analysis extends the existing border effects literature in three ways. First, it assesses the magnitude of price transmission, instead of analyzing trade flows or price variability. Second, distance is shown to have a significant impact on price...

WITHIN-SALE PRICE VARIATION AT CATTLE AND CARCASS AUCTIONS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Todd,   Mike C.; Cowell,   M.D.
Price variability within cattle and carcass auction sales is examined through two statistical studies. A substantial element of the price variation at the cattle auction examined is found to be due to differences in the cattle-type factors - sex, carcass weight, fatness and breed, and the factors district of origin, lot size and time of sale. Several of these factors are also found to be important explanators of price variation at carcass auctions.

Analysis of U.S. Demand for Imported Melons using a Dynamic Almost Ideal Demand System
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kaninda Tshikala,   Sam; Fonsah,   Esendugue Greg.
Melons constitute an important part of the U.S. fruit and vegetable industry even though they are produced only from May through December of each year. Import supplies from Latin American countries are used to make up for the domestic demand shortages.  This paper investigates the U.S. demand for imported fresh and frozen melons using quarterly data on import volumes and unit prices. A static and a dynamic linear approximated almost ideal demand systems were estimated using ITSUR. Marshallian and Hicksian elasticities were used to analyze consumers’ responsiveness to price and income change in the short run and the long run.

Commodity Price Volatility: The Impact of Commodity Index Traders
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Getu,   Hailu; Weersink,   Alfons.
Over the years, critics have argued that futures market prices have been either too low or too high. Speculators have often been the target for the wrath of those feeling the futures price does not properly reflect market fundamentals. Recently, the criticism has been vented toward a new type of speculator that has been blamed for the dramatic changes in agricultural commodity prices experienced over the last several years. Commodity index traders (CITs) and other large institutional traders are commonly accused of exerting a destabilizing influence on commodity prices. The intensity of the debate over the role of CITs appeared to wane with the reduction in commodity prices since 2008 but the recent release of a well-publicized OECD report on the issue by...

CONVENIENCE, ACCESSIBILITY, AND THE DEMAND FOR FAST FOOD
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jekanowski,   Mark D.; Binkley,   James K.; Eales,   James S.
This study explores the growth in demand for fast food.  A distinguishing characteristic of fast food is its convenience; in today's pervasive marketplace, consumers need not travel far to find a fast food outlet.  This greater availability translates into a decrease in the full price of obtaining a meal, which contributes to greater consumption.  Market-level data are used to estimate demand equations in two time periods, incorporating changes in availability as well as prices, income, and various demographic characteristics.  Our findings show that greater availability has led to increased consumption.  Failure to account for these types of marketplace changes could lead to incorrect inferences regarding the factors responsible for the industry growth.

An Input-Output model is used to analyze price pass-through effects of a minimum wage increase on prices of the food and kindred product and food-service industry.  Although these sectors employ a disproportionate share of minimum wage workers, our results suggest a $0.50 increase in the minimum wage would minimally affect food prices.

Japanese Consumers’ Perceptions on and Willingness to Pay for Credence Attributes Associated with Canola Oil
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hu,   Wuyang; Chen,   Kevin Z.; Yoshida,   Kentaro.
In this study we found that Japanese consumers value the conventional health claim “low in saturated fat” more than the relatively newer claims, such as “high in oleic acid.”  In addition, consumers do not prefer oil with genetically modified ingredients or oil that is not domestically produced, but they are willing to pay extra for “organic” or “functional food” features.  We also found that the scope and source of information on these credence attributes may also affect consumers’ choices and willingness to pay and that the effects may not be completely consistent with what one would expect.

Supermarket Competition through Price Promotions: A Cross Category Analysis
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Volpe,   Richard J., III.
This study takes an important first step at quantifying the nature of competition between major supermarket chains through price promotions. Using data that covers virtually the entire product menus of supermarkets representing two major chains in 18 cities, I examine both the effect of direct competition on promotional intensity and the nature of promotional competition itself. In a counterintuitive finding, there appears to slightly less promotional activity in cities in which both chains compete directly, as compared to cities in which only one chain operates. Moreover, most promotional activity tends to be retaliatory, rather than accommodating, in nature. This study takes an important first step at quantifying the nature of competition between major...

MARKET INVERSION IN COMMODITY FUTURES PRICES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Yoon,   Byung-Sam; Brorsen,   B. Wade.
As  opposed  to  a  normal  market, an inverted  market has a negative price of storage or spread. Market inversions in nearby spreads rarely occur during early months of the crop year since stocks are  usually  abundant  after harvest.  However,  market inversions  frequently  occur when the  spreads are observed across  crop years near the end of the crop year. The regressions of spreads on the logarithm of U.S. quarterly stocks show that there exists a positive relationship between the spread and the level of stocks, and further implies that when stocks are scarce, markets will be inverted. Simulations are conducted  to  determine  whether  a market inversion is a signal to sell the stocks. The results of the paired-difference tests reveal that as the...

Autores: Minford,   Patrick.
The elasticity of substitution between textile fibres is investigated within a CES production function in which the fibres are grouped according to degree of substitutability. Disaggregated data for U.S. textile usage in the post-war period are examined and the elasticities estimated are generally above unity. The conclusion is reached that, while technical change and diffusion may have explained changing fibre shares in certain, usually specialized end-uses and contributed to the explanation in others, in most end-uses relative price change has been an important factor.

The Impact of the New York State Retail Milk Price Regulation  on Farm-to-Retail Price Transmission and  Supermarket Pricing Strategies in Metropolitan Fluid Milk Markets
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bolotova,   Yuliya; Novakovic,   Andrew M.
The New York State Milk Price Gouging Law establishes that the retail prices of fluid milk products are not to exceed 200% of the prices that NYS milk processors pay for Class I milk. The enforcement of this law significantly affected the nature of the Class I fluid milk price transmission process and the milk pricing strategies of supermarkets in the five largest cities in New York State: New York City, Albany, Syracuse, Buffalo and Rochester.   During the pre-law period, supermarkets used a retail price-stabilization strategy, as evidenced by asymmetric Class I fluid milk price transmission. In contrast, supermarkets use a retail profit stabilization strategy during the law period.   This variation of retail milk price control actually creates an...

Autores: Hovhannisyan,   Vardges; Stiegert,   Kyle W.
The objective of the research in this study is to evaluate the pricing and market conduct of milk manufacturers and retailers.  Using data from a U.S. Midwestern state, we estimate a random coefficient logit demand model (RCL) to empirically investigate a range of possible scenarios in the milk supply chain. These include vertical leader-follower model with underlying Bertrand-Nash pricing, models allowing for nonlinear pricing contracts, and collusion scenarios at various levels in the supply chain.  This study contributes to the literature in the following ways. First, it generalizes the RCL demand model via Box-Cox power transformation. While previous studies rely on ad hoc specified linear indirect utility, this procedure allows data to determine the...

Autores: Li,   Lan; Carman,   Hoy F.; Sexton,   Richard J.
Using a unique micro dataset and advanced panel models, this study examines the effects of demand shocks on grocery retail price for avocados, a key Californian fresh produce commodity. Retail prices for avocados exhibited countercyclical movements over seasonal demand shocks for avocados associated with some holidays and events. Demand for avocados is shown to be higher during some holidays/events, e.g., Christmas/New Year, Super Bowl Sunday, and Cinco de Mayo. Super Bowl Sunday and Cinco de Mayo are identified as holidays/events associated with idiosyncratic demand peaks for avocados, but not associated with high aggregate consumer demand. Retail price and margin were significantly lower during some holidays/events associated with high demand for...

This paper analyzes the demand for meat in Egypt for the period 1990–2005 using the linearized Almost Ideal Demand System to estimate own-price, cross-price and expenditure elasticities. It found that the Marshallian own-price elasticity was the highest for fish, followed by chicken, beef and duck. On the other hand, the crossprice elasticity of beef showed a complementary relationship with the other meat types, except for fish, which is substitutive. Chicken and fish showed a substitutive relationship with all other meat types. Duck showed a substitutive relationship with all meats except rabbit. Mutton and rabbit showed a versatile relationship with the other meat types. The highest substitutive relationship was between mutton and beef. Compensated...

The Renewable Fuel Standard mandates in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 will require 36 billion gallons of ethanol to be produced in 2022. The mandates require that 16 of the 36 billion gallons must be produced from cellulosic feedstocks. The potential land use implications resulting from these mandates were examined using two methods, the POLYSYS model and a general equilibrium model. Results of the POLYSYS analysis indicated that 72.1 million tons of corn stover, 23.5 million tons of wheat straw, and 24.7 million acres would be used to produce 109 million tons of switchgrass in 2025 to meet the mandate.

Dynamic Adjustment of U.S. Agriculture to Energy Price Changes
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lambert,   David K.; Gong,   Jian.
Energy prices increased significantly following the first energy price shock of 1973. Agricultural producers found few short run substitution possibilities as relative factor prices changed. Inelastic demands resulted in total expenditures on energy inputs that have closely followed energy price changes over time. A dynamic cost function model is estimated to derive short and long run adjustments within U.S. agriculture between 1948 and 2002 to changes in relative input prices. The objective is to measure the degree of farm responsiveness to energy price changes and if this responsiveness has changed over time. Findings support inelastic demands for all farm inputs. Statistical results support moderate increases in responses to energy and other input price...

Autores: Blisard,   Noel; Stewart,   Hayden.
Average yearly expenditures on food in U.S. urban households increased between 2003 and 2004. Over the period, annual per capita spending on food rose from $2,035 to $2,207. The 2004 average comprises $1,347 spent on food consumed at home and $860 spent on food consumed away from home. These amounts reflect a year-to-year increase of 7.9 percent in food-at-home expenditures and 9.3 percent in food-away-from-home expenditures. Wealthier urban households tended to spend more than other urban households for both food at home and food away from home, and they spent a larger share of their food budget than other households on food consumed away from home. The share of the food budget spent on food consumed away from home varied from 30 percent for the poorest...

Autores: Markosyan,   Armenak; Wahl,   Thomas I.; McCluskey,   Jill J.
The attention on so-called “functional foods” has been growing as consumers become more concerned with diet and nutrition. This article aims to measure consumers’ response to apples with “naturally enriched antioxidant coatings.” Surveys were conducted in grocery stores in Seattle, Washington and Spokane, Washington. The results suggest that consumers have a somewhat positive attitude towards functional foods in general and with apples enriched with antioxidants in particular. A contingent valuation technique was used to assess factors affecting consumers’ willingness to pay for the apples with antioxidant coatings. Consumers in the Spokane grocery stores are more likely to pay a premium for the new type of apples than consumers in Seattle. Consumers who...

Predicting the quality and prices of Bordeaux wines
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ashenfelter,   Orley.
Bordeaux wines have been made in much the same way for centuries. This article shows that the variability in the quality and prices of Bordeaux vintages is predicted by the weather that created the grapes. The price equation provides a measure of the real rate of return to holding wines (about 2–3% per annum) and implies far greater variability in the early or ‘en primeur’ wine prices than is observed.

A STUDY OF THE DEMAND FOR BUTTER IN THE UNITED KINGDOM
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Candler,   Wilfred V.; Townsley,   Robert.
Statistical estimation of the demand function for most industrial, and many agricultural, products is inhibited by price fixing or price stabilizing arrangements which prevent observation of the full range of possible price-quantity combinations. In the period 1956 to 1961 the London butter market has illustrated how markedly price can fluctuate, when not subject to a stablizing agreement. In the period 1958 to 1961 estimates of retail sales of butter are available, and these permit the estimation of the demand for butter at retail. The time lag between production and consumption decisions means that there is no problem of identification. The present study uses weekly price and quantity information, and there is a serious problem of auto-correlation of the...

Supply Responses for Potatoes in Five New South Wales Shires
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Longworth,   John W.; O'Loughlin,   Edmond J.
Potatoes are grown in a number of different regions of New South Wales. This study examines the supply responses of producers in five major potato growing shires. Three models of price response are examined. The most successful of these, the general Nerlove adaptive expectations model, is extended to test, first, how important the number of growers is in determining the acreage planted in each of the shires and, second, whether growers tend to expand or contract acreage in response to good yields in the immediate past.

Spatial Price Discovery, Dynamics, and Leadership in Evolving Distiller’s Grain Markets
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Van Winkle,   Tyler W.; Schroeder,   Ted C.
Recent dramatic growth in corn-based bio-refining has generated considerable growth in the by-product of this process, distiller’s grains. Distiller’s grains are rapidly becoming important livestock feed ingredient sources. However, little public market information is available on distiller’s grain. This study determines spatial and temporal price relationships among distiller’s grain markets. Results indicate spatial distiller’s grain markets operate somewhat independently suggesting potential arbitrage opportunities and indicating distiller’s grain markets are information starved. Furthermore, available futures markets are not viable price risk transfer tools for distiller’s grains.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gould,   Brian W.; Cox,   Thomas L.; Perali,   Carlo Federico.
The demand for fluid milk products has changed dramatically in recent years not only in terms of lower levels consumed but also in terms of the composition of the products consumed.  A time-series based demand system analysis of the market for lowfat and whole milk products is developed incorporating the effects of changes in prices and demographic characteristics.  From the estimated model, the impacts of future changes in the demographic profile of the U.S. population on fluid milk demand are analyzed.

Decomposing Changes in Agricultural Price Gaps
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Liefert,   William M.
This paper develops a method for decomposing changes in agricultural producer prices. The method builds on a procedure used by the World Bank, with the key variables in the decomposition being trade prices, exchange rates, and agricultural trade policies. The main ways by which we expand on the World Bank decomposition procedure are by broadening the analysis of policy effects, and by adding the effect from incomplete transmission of changes in border prices and exchange rates to producer prices, and the effect on prices from interactions between variables as they change simultaneously. We demonstrate the decomposition method by using the Russian poultry market in the late 1990s, and find that the dominant factor in changing the producer price was the...

HOW MUCH OF COMMODITY PRICE BEHAVIOR CAN A RATIONAL EXPECTATIONS STORAGE MODEL EXPLAIN?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Peterson,   Hikaru Hanawa; Tomek,   William G.
A rational expectations competitive storage model is applied to the U.S. corn market to assess the aptness of this framework in explaining monthly price behavior in an actual commodity market.  Relative to previous models, extensive realism is added to the model in terms of how production activities and storage costs are specified.  By modeling convenience yield, "backwardation" in prices between crop years does not depend on the unrealistic assumption of zero ending stocks.  Our model produces cash prices that are distributed with positive skewness and kurtosis, and mean and variance that increase over the storage season, consistent with the persistence and the occasional spikes observed in commodity prices.  Futures prices are generated as conditional...

Autores: Ndanga,   Leah Z.B.; Louw,   Andre; van Rooyen,   Johan.
Although South Africans are not predominantly wine drinkers, the industry is looking for ways to develop the local market to balance exports. The black middle class, increasingly referred to as the Black Diamonds are the most powerful marketing trend in the last 10 years as they have emerged as the strongest buying influence in the economy and making inroads in understanding this market presents a good opportunity. The study asserts that the key factors influencing the South African consumers’ behavior are age, gender, income, race and wine drinking history. The study also asserts that not only are the black middle class are different from the white middle class but within the Black Diamonds different segments exist.

HEDONIC PRICE FUNCTIONS: GUIDANCE ON EMPIRICAL SPECIFICATION
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kuminoff,   Nicolai V.; Parmeter,   Christopher F.; Pope,   Jaren C.
The hedonic pricing model is widely accepted as a method for estimating the marginal willingness to pay for spatially delineated amenities. Empirical applications typically rely on one of three functional forms—linear, semi-log, and double-log—and rarely involve rigorous specification testing. This phenomenon is largely due to an influential simulation study by Cropper, Deck and McConnell (CDM) (1988) that found, among other things, that simpler linear specifications outperformed more flexible functional forms in the face of omitted variables. In the 20 years that have elapsed since their study, there have been major computational advances and significant changes in the way hedonic price functions can be estimated. The purpose of our paper is to update and...

Partial versus General Equilibrium Calorie and Revenue Effects of a Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Tax
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dharmasena,   Senarath; Davis,   George C.; Capps,   Oral, Jr.
The current obesity crisis in the United States is generating numerous alternative policy options for combating the problem. One alternative that has been widely proposed is an excise or sales tax on sugar-sweetened non-alcoholic beverages. This literature started out within a very simple partial equilibrium framework. Not considering the feedback effects (or general equilibrium effects) across interrelated market is a shortcoming of these partial equilibrium analyses. Our study is carried out to ascertain stochastic partial and general equilibrium calorie, body weight and revenue effects of a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages as well as incidence of such tax. We used Nielsen Homescan data on prices and quantities of selected non-alcoholic beverages...

China’s Agricultural Modernisation Program: an assessment of its sustainability and impacts in the case of the high-value beef chain
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Waldron,   Scott A.; Brown,   Colin G.; Longworth,   John W.
China has embarked on a major program to modernise agricultural and agribusiness structures with far reaching implications for rural development, international competitiveness / trade and food safety. There are, however, few studies that examine in detail how the modernisation program has proceeded, its’ sustainability and impacts. This paper aims to provide such as assessment through a series of integrated budget analyses of participants in the modern, high value beef chain. The paper concludes that rather than attempting to skip development phases by fast-tracking the development of modern structures in high-value agrifood chains, China should pursue a more incremental and facilitative approach based around developing structures in mid-value agrifood...

The objective of the paper is to present the preliminary results of the survey project whose aim is to explore the Turkish consumer's perceptions regarding food safety and the tradeoff they make between chemical residues and cosmetic quality in fresh fruit and vegetable marketing chain. Previous research in Turkey contends that Turkey organic food exports are growing and that there is a small but growing domestic market. A lacking component of the prevailing studies is that none of the studies have focused on the cosmetic quality component of organic products. Another aspect that is missing in the previous studies is that it is not possible to make inferences for the Turkish urban consumers due to designs in sampling and population definition.

PRICE-BAND STABILIZATION PROGRAMS AND RISK: AN APPLICATION TO THE U.S. CORN MARKET
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Holt,   Matthew T.
The impacts of introducing a partial price stabilization scheme in the U.S. corn market are investigated by using a modified version of the bounded price variation model.  Specifically, a model is developed and estimated that includes rational expectations of the first three central moments of the (truncated) equilibrium price distribution.  The estimated model is used to stimulate market equilibrium effects of introducing upper and lower price limits through a tax-subsidy scheme.  The results show that corn producers are downside risk averse, and that market feedback effects of price stabilization can, at times, be more important than direct effects.

Autores: Bullock,   David S.; Garcia,   Philip; Shin,   Kie-Yup.
Procedures to measure the producer welfare effects of changes in an output price distribution under uncertainty are reviewed. Theory and numerical integration methods are combined to show how for any form of Marshallian risk-responsive supply, compensating variation of a change in higher moments of an output price distribution can be derived numerically. The numerical procedure enables measurement of producer welfare effects in the many circumstances in which risk and uncertainty are important elements. The practical ease and potential usefulness of the procedure is illustrated by measuring the producer welfare effects of USA rice policy.

Autores: Mohanty,   Samarendu; Peterson,   E. Wesley F.
This study estimates demand for wheat differentiated by classes using a dynamic AIDS model for the United States and the European Union (EU). The results suggest that imported wheat is more price responsive than domestic wheat in the U.S. market but not in the EU market. This may suggest that the Canadian policy that reduces prices of Canadian wheat in the U.S. market or U.S. export subsidies that raise prices of U.S, wheat could be expected to give rise to substantial substitution of Canadian for U.S. wheat. It is also found that in the EU, complementary relationships exist between spring and other wheat groups, This complementary relationship between the lower and higher quality wheat in the EU is not surprising because EU millers blend cheaper wheat...

MARKETIZING U.S. PRODUCTION IN THE POST-WAR ERA: IMPLICATIONS FOR ESTIMATING CPI BIAS AND REAL INCOME FROM A COMPLETE-HOUSEHOLD-DEMAND SYSTEM
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Huffman,   Wallace E.
This paper applies production theory to define a new set of inputs for U.S. households for the post-war II period, tests the new inputs to see if they support a complete household-demand system, and reports a new social cost-of-living index. The data support a demand system with nine major input categories and yield plausible price, income, and translating-variable effects. Women's and men's housework are complements, but other input categories are substitutes for women's housework. Some changes in the demand are associated with household technology and demographics.  My social cost-of-living index rises at an approximately 1.4 percent per year slower over the post-war era than the implicit price deflator.

Dry bean prices, as received by the grower and the dealer, were analyzed for four different production regions, and for two of the major varieties grown in the US.  The dry bean price series were not stationary.  Prices for each variety were cointegrated across the production regions and between grower and dealer markets.  However causality tests failed to show the dominant regional variety as the price leader.  Further, prices of the two varieties were not cointegrated, which indicated that growers would benefit from growing more than one variety at the same time.

In this paper we assess the effects of the dramatic rise in agricultural commodity prices during 2007-2008 on income dynamics and poverty among rural households in Bangladesh. We use data from a nationally representative longitudinal survey of rural households in Bangladesh collected in four waves in 1988, 2000, 2004, and 2008. Nargis and Hossain (2006) analysed income dynamics and poverty incidence for the first three waves, finding a declining trend in both the incidence and depth of poverty, aided by in particular by human capital development and the off-farm labor opportunities. Here we update the analysis to include data collected in 2008, at the height of the aforementioned spike in agricultural prices. We find that various measures of rural poverty...

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Brester,   Gary W.; Marsh,   John M.
Real livestock prices and farm-wholesale marketing margins have steadily declined over the past 20 years.  Studies examining the causes of these declines have generally failed to account directly for technological change in livestock production and red meat slaughtering.  We estimate reduced-form models for beef and pork farm-wholesale marketing margins and cattle and hog prices that include specific measures of technological change.  Empirical results indicate cost savings generated by improved meat packing technologies have reduced real margins and positively influenced real cattle and hog prices.  However, technological change embodied in cattle production weights has led to substantial declines in real slaughter cattle prices.  Nonetheless, the net...

Optimal Coverage Level Choice with Individual and Area Plans of Insurance
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bulut,   Harun; Collins,   Keith J.; Zacharias,   Thomas P.
We theoretically examine a farmer’s coverage demand with area and individual insurance plans as either separate or integrated options. The individual and area losses are assumed to be imperfectly and positively correlated. With actuarially fair rates, the farmer will fully insure with the individual plan and demand no area insurance regardless of the plans being separate or integrated. Under separate plans, free area insurance and the fair rate for individual insurance, area insurance replaces a portion of individual insurance demand. Under integrated plans, free area insurance, and the fair rate for individual insurance, the farmer will over-insure with individual plan and demand additional area insurance.

This study examines the willingness to pay for a locally-produced, natural beef product in the Intermountain West. In addition to presenting market shares at various prices, this study examines the relevance of several production characteristics, to determine how important they are to consumers, especially the target group willing to pay premium prices. Concern about hormones is consistently higher than other animal- and environmentally-friendly attributes, while concern about local production is the lowest among the respondents. As would be expected, the average concern about each of these characteristics increased among the group most willing to pay a premium for natural beef.

Natural endowments, production technologies, and the quality of wines in Bordeaux. Is it possible to produce wine on paved roads?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gergaud,   Olivier; Ginsburgh,   Victor.
We study whether quality assessments made by wine experts and by consumers (based on prices obtained at auction between 1980 and 1992), can be explained by variables describing endowments (land characteristics, exposures of vineyards) and technologies (from grape varieties and picking, to bottled wines). However, since technological choices are likely to depend on endowments, the effects can only be identified using an instrumental variables approach. We show that technological choices affect quality much more than natural endowments, the effect of which is negligible.

The Ten Relationships in Rural Land Circulation
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cai,   Zhirong; Ren,   Shuo; Zhang,   Zhigang.
The ten relationships during land circulation are discussed. Among them, the relationship between peasant household and government indicates that government should only carry out its service and regulatory functions and farmers should be the main body of land circulation, because peasants usually have no discourse power during land circulation. In the relationship between land ownership and contracting management right, we mainly discuss the transfer of land contracting management right and point out that land contracting management right within a certain period is the object of land circulation. In the relationship between land circulation and deepening reform, land circulation is only an approach to develop scale management and to deepen the reform. Land...

Autores: Gomez,   Emilio Galdeano.
RESUMEN: La diferencia temporal existente entre la planificación de la oferta y la demanda de productos agrarios, conlleva a que, tradicionalmente, en sectores como el de frutas y hortalizas cobren gran interés las teorías sobre formación de expectativas de precios. En las últimas décadas, la tendencia hacia una mayor interrelación entre la producción y la comercialización (en origen) presente en entidades asociativas implica un aumento de la disponibilidad y utilización de la información para realizar previsiones sobre las distintas variables. El objeto de este estudio es determinar empíricamente la existencia de estimaciones sobre el precio, tomando como referencia actividad productora-comercializadora del sector hortofrutícola del sureste español, que...

The study focuses on various types of food safety risks: biological (zoonoses), chemical (chemical treatment of the meat) and technological (use of genetically modified feed). The emphasis was on how the perceived risks affect the purchase intentions in the case of broiler meat. In the case of each risk products the attitude-level variables had importance in explaining the buying intentions. The heterogeneity of the respondents regarding the purchase intentions of risk products was analysed by latent class logistic regression that included all three risk products. About 60% of the respondents belonged to the group of risk avoiders in which the purchase intention of risk food was significantly lower than in the second group of risk neutrals in which 64% of...

Accounting for Product Substitution in the Analysis of Food Taxes Targeting Obesity
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Miao,   Zhen; Beghin,   John C.; Jensen,   Helen H.
We extend the existing literature on food taxes targeting obesity. First, we incorporate the implicit substitution between sugar and fat nutrients implied by a complete food demand system and by conditioning on how food taxes affect total calorie intake. Second, we propose a methodology that accounts for the ability of consumers to substitute leaner low-fat and low-sugar items for rich food items within the same food group. This substitution is integrated into a demand system in addition to substitution among food groups. Simulations of a tax on added sugars show that the impact of the tax on consumption patterns is understated and the effect on welfare loss overstated when abstracting from this substitution within food groups.

A NOTE ON LOSSES FROM PRICE STABILIZATION
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chapman,   R.; Foley,   K.
In a recent article in this journal, Tisdell (1) has taken up the question of price stabilisation as it affects both the growers and users of a raw material, in this case wool. He has constructed a model which purports to show conditions under which a reduction in the variability of wool prices by the operation of a self balancing buffer stock scheme will reduce (a) the producer surplus of growers and (b) the average (or expected) profits of processors.1 While applauding this integrated approach to the problem of commodity price stabilisation, we hold serious reservations about the relevance of Tisdell's conclusions. These suffer from a mistaken inference drawn by Tisdell concerning the effects of a stable versus unstable price regime on the expected total...

Mendel versus Malthus: Research, Productivity and Food Prices in the Long Run
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Alston,   Julian M.; Beddow,   Jason M.; Pardey,   Philip G.
Over the past 50 years and longer, the supply of food commodities has grown faster than the effective market demand, in spite of increasing population and per capita incomes. Consequently, the real (deflated) prices of food commodities have steadily trended down. The past increases in agricultural productivity and production, and the resulting real price trends, are attributable in large part to technological changes enabled by investments in agricultural R&amp;D. Evidence is beginning to emerge of a slowdown in the long-term path of agricultural productivity growth. These productivity patterns mirror a progressive slowing down in the growth rate of total spending on agricultural R&amp;D and a redirection of the funds away from farm productivity that began...

Concentration-Price Relations in Regional Fed Cattle Markets
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Marion,   Bruce W.; Geithman,   Frederick E.
Since 1977, the U.S. beef packing industry has been restructured at a pace unprecedented in large American industries.  By 1987, four packers slaughtered over two-thirds of all steers and heifers.  In the thirteen regional feedlot-packer markets studied here, the four leading packers slaughtered 85 percent of fed cattle, on average.  The impact of packer concentration on fed cattle prices during 1971-86 was examined using several econometric models.  The results generally support the hypothesis that packer concentration was negatively related to live cattle prices.  Cattle prices were estimated to be about 3 percent less in the most concentrated region compared to the least concentrated region.  There was evidence of a critical concentration of CR4 = 60 in...

FOOD INFLATION IN MALAWI: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE ECONOMY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ularo,   Khonje Makaiko Gonapanyanja.
Despite consecutive years of good harvest, Malawi has experienced continuous price escalation of staple food commodities unsolved over the time. The real price of maize in Malawi has increased by 141 percent between 1998 and 2008, and has been rising along with the food prices of many other commodities over this period. This study therefore investigates the determinants of food inflation rate in Malawi and its effect on the economy. Monthly and annual data were collected from National Statistical Office and Reserve Bank of Malawi from 1978 to 2008. Data were analyzed by estimating an error correction model (ECM). The results show that fertilizer prices, crop diversification index, maize prices, diesel prices, real exchange rates and real interest rates...

MEASURING PRICE INSTABILITY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Baritakis,   Dimitrios.
Prices for all commodities vary over time.  The degree of instability for each commodity reflects characteristics of the industry.  In the non agricultural industries the technology has certain input-output relationships.  Few random factors affect the output.  However, in agriculture some random factors make these relationships uncertain.  Weather and biological conditions can result in output that is far from that planned by the producer.  The coordination system within the marketing chain is also different for the two groups.  In many non agricultural industries marketing arrangements, such as vertical integration and contacts ensure that the quantity produced will match the expected demand. So, within the marketing channels supply and demand are...

Autores: Boonsaeng,   Tullaya; Fletcher,   Stanley M.
This research estimates import demand elasticities for in-shell peanuts in the European Union from four different sources: China, the United States, South America, and Africa. The null hypothesis of aggregation over product sources is rejected at conventional levels of significance suggesting that peanuts from different sources are differentiated by EU consumers which might attributed to their different quality characteristics. Conditional expenditure elasticities for U.S. in-shell peanuts are larger than expenditure elasticities for Latin American, Chinese and African peanuts.

Autores: Anderson,   Kym; de Nicola,   Francesca; Jara,   Esteban; Kurzweil,   Marianne; Sandri,   Damiano; Valenzuela,   Ernesto.
For decades, earnings from farming in many low-income countries have been depressed by a pro-urban bias in own-country policies, as well as by governments of richer countries favoring their farmers with import barriers and subsidies. Both sets of policies reduce national and global economic growth. They also add to inequality and poverty in developing countries, since most of the world's billion poorest people depend on farming for their livelihood. Over the past two decades numerous developing country governments have reduced their sectoral and trade policy distortions, while some high-income countries also have begun reforming their protectionist policies. Drawing on results from a new multi-country research project, this paper examines the extent of...

Adjustments in Demand During Lithuania's Economic Transition
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hossain,   Ferdaus; Jensen,   Helen H.
Significant economic changes have occurred in Lithuania since 1992. Major market reforms were introduced through phased liberalization of producer and consumer prices. Panel data from a Lithuanian Household Budget Survey conducted during 1992-94 were used to estimate demand parameters for aggregated commodity groups. The evidence from the household survey shows the relative stability of demand parameters. Estimated price and expenditure elasticities are consistent with levels of low income countries. Households have been relatively responsive to changes in prices and total expenditure in their purchases during the period of transition.

Consumers' attitudes to genetically modified (GM) food ingredients and their reactions to and preferences for labeling of GM food are topical issues for Canadian food policy and are the subjects of this study. This project included several components. The first of these was an assessment of public attitudes to biotechnology and to GM food based on evidence from polls and other studies. These show increasing awareness and some increase in wariness of GM food, in Canada and elsewhere. In the second component of the project, analysis of   survey data on Alberta consumers' preferences for different policy approaches to GM food was undertaken. This analysis indicates a preference by Alberta residents for GM food policy to emphasize the provision of more...

Demand for selected nursery plants sold in North Carolina (i.e., begonia, dianthus, geranium, impatiens, marigold, petunia, and vinca) was found to be affected more by prices than by income, demographic, and other variables.  By using cross-sectional data, a modified AIDS model, incorporating demographic variables and quadratic income response, was estimated.  Inverse Mills's ratios were also included in the model to correct for selectivity bias, resulting from zero purchases.  Significant own-price elasticities ranged from -0.71 to -1.65, and income elasticities ranged from -0.78 to 0.41.

FOOD CHOICE, NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENTS: AN EXPERIMENTAL AUCTION EMPLOYING BREAD
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hellyer,   Nicole Elizabeth; Fraser,   Iain; Haddock-Fraser,   Janet.
In this paper we present the results of an experimental auction conducted to examine the influence of nutritional information on food choice and in particular estimate consumer willingness to pay for bread that contains functional ingredients which is used to make sandwiches. We find that consumers are willing to pay more for a whole grain and whole grain granary bread sandwich than other bread types. We also find that consumers do react positively to the provision of nutritional and health benefit information but that this effect occurs regardless of whether we supply specific or nonspecific health benefit information. We discuss information provision and health policy implications that emerge from our analysis.

Autores: Piggott,   Nicholas E.; Taylor,   Mykel R.; Kuchler,   Fred.
The potential impacts of a food safety event on consumer demand for meat is of significant concern to producers, packers, processors, retail businesses, and the USDA.  This study investigates whether publicized food safety information from the printed media on beef, pork, and poultry, impacts the demand for these commodities.  A four commodity complete demand system is employed using monthly household level data on meat purchases collected by the Nielsen Company, with separate food safety indices incorporated for beef, pork, and poultry.  Results from the analysis indicate that consumers purchase relatively high levels of pre-committed quantities of pork, chicken, and turkey, while beef consumption appears to be primarily from supernumerary expenditures....

MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD ESTIMATION OF A RANDOM COEFFICIENT MEAT DEMAND SYSTEM

Autores: Hahn,   William F.
The paper demonstrates that random coefficient models can be estimated by maximum likelihood if they are specified as generalized least squares models.  The paper uses maximum likelihood estimation on a random-coefficient, meat-demand system.  Statistical tests show that price elasticities are random, but expenditure elasticities are not.  The statistical tests allow one to count the number of factors that cause randomness without requiring one to know what they are.  There appear to be only two factors that make the price elasticities random.

Optimal Coverage Level Choice with Individual and Area Plans of Insurance
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bulut,   Harun; Collins,   Keith J.; Zacharias,   Thomas P.
We theoretically examine a farmer’s coverage demand with area and individual insurance plans as either separate or integrated options. The individual and area losses are assumed to be imperfectly and positively correlated. With actuarially fair rates, the farmer will fully insure with the individual plan and demand no area insurance regardless of the plans being separate or integrated. Under separate plans, free area insurance and the fair rate for individual insurance, area insurance replaces a portion of individual insurance demand. Under integrated plans, free area insurance, and the fair rate for individual insurance, the farmer over-insures using both area and individual plans.

Price transmission in the Spanish bovine sector: the BSE effect
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hassouneh,   Islam; Serra,   Teresa; Gil,   Jose Maria.
A regime-switching vector error correction model is applied to monthly price data to assess the impact of BSE outbreaks on price relationships and patterns of transmission among farm and retail markets for bovine in Spain. To evaluate the degree to which price transmission is affected by BSE food scares, a BSE food scare index is developed and used to determine regime-switching. Results suggest that BSE scares affect beef producers and retailers differently. Consumer prices are found to be weakly exogenous and not found to react to BSE scares, while producer prices conversely adjusted. The magnitude of the adjustment is found to depend on the magnitude of the BSE scare.

In Tunisia, peaches have a significant place in the fruit tree sector. Planted areas have  been expanding ever since the eighties as a result of irrigation water extension and the  use of better yielding varieties. These factors resulted in high production levels and fruit exports  thereof.  However,  important  seasonal  and  annual  variation  of  fruit  supplies continues to characterize prices at both wholesale and consumption levels. To study the  response  of  peach  production  an  econometric  model  was  developed. Modelling  was carried out in two stages.

Can We Feed the Animals? Origins and Implications of Rising Meat Demand
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Keyzer,   Michiel A.; Merbis,   Max D.; Pavel,   Ferdinand.
The paper argues that current long-term projections of global meat and feed demand may underestimate future consumption patterns for mainly two reasons. First, they do not explicitly consider increased demand for protein foods of animal origin with rising incomes in some developing countries, and second they do not allow for changes in livestock technology, in particular feed demand. We then project the impact of both mechanisms to show the empirical relevance of our comments and suggest ready-to-use tools to consider them within standard projection models.

ANALYSIS OF INTEGRATION BETWEEN QUEENSLAND FEED AND MALTING BARLEY MARKETS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gali,   Jyothi; Brown,   Colin G.
Barley can be differentiated into feed and malting barley based on its end-use markets. Substitutability both in supply and in demand complicates analysis of price information in the barley market. The paper examines the price linkages between feed and malting barley in the Queensland barley market by using cointegration and error correction models. Malting barley prices respond to restore equilibrium relationships with corresponding feed barley prices in the long run, but not vice versa. Thus there appears to be a price leadership role for feed barley, and one-way substitutability and quality differences in the barley market.

Concentration in Beef Packing and Slaughter Cattle Pricing
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Love,   H. Alan; Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Williams,   Gary W.
We empirically investigate the effects of beef packer concentration and size efficiencies, packer procurement and pricing methods, and other market variables and quality characteristics on the prices paid by packers for slaughter cattle. We find that packers pay less for fed cattle in more concentrated regions. However, we find that concentration is only one of numerous market factors determining fed cattle prices and less important than many. Quality variables controlled by sellers, like cattle type, are more important in determining the price paid by packers than packer concentration, size economies, procurement methods, or other variables outside seller control.

The Proportion of the Seasonal Period as a Season Index in Weekly Agricultural Data
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Martin-Rodriguez,   Gloria; Caceres-Hernandez,   Jose Juan.
In this paper a seasonal model is proposed to deal with weekly agricultural seasonal patterns in which neither the length of the seasonal period nor the magnitude of the seasonal effects remain the same over time. To model this heterogeneous seasonal behaviour, the seasonal effect at a season is defined as a function of the proportion of the length of the seasonal period elapsed up to this season, and the seasonal pattern is modelled by means of evolving splines. The methodology is illustrated for weekly Canary tomato prices.

ESTIMATING SOURCES OF FLUCTUATIONS IN THE AUSTRALIAN WOOL MARKET: AN APPLICATION OF VAR METHODS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Myers,   Robert J.; Piggott,   Roley R.; Tomek,   William G.
Vector autoregression (VAR) methods are used to analyse the contribution of supply, demand and policy shocks to unpredictable fluctuations in the market for Australian wool. VAR procedures are compared with conventional structural econometric models as methods for decomposing sources of instability. While each has advantages and disadvantages, VAR procedures might be viewed as preferable when the underlying market structure is complex and uncertain, as it is in the case of wool. Based on the results obtained, demand shocks are the dominant source of uncertainty in the wool market in the absence of Australian Wool Corporation intervention, but intervention has blunted their effects, reducing market uncertainty and increasing the average level of prices and...

UNCERTAINTY, PRICE STABILIZATION AND WELFARE
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Choi,   E. Kwan; Johnson,   Stanley R.
This paper investigates whether a small country facing foreign price instability benefits from active stabilization of the domestic price of the importable. If the random tariff revenue is rebated ex post, domestic price stabilization increases income instability, and nonintervention is optimal. If an ex ante rebating scheme is employed, a small country can benefit from domestic price stabilization, and there exists a partial stabilization policy that dominates free trade. Partial stabilization of the domestic price with the ex ante rebate requires a variable import levy inversely related to the foreign price.

DER SLOWAKISCHE MARKT FÜR MILCH UND MILCHPRODUKTE – VOM BEGINN DER TRANSFORMATION BIS ZUM EU-BEITRITT
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Glitsch,   Kristina; Eerits,   Alena.
Like in other CEEC, transition in the beginning of the 1990s had significant consequences for the agricultural and food sectors in Slovakia. For example, Slovakian consumers reacted to the abolition of consumer subsidies by drastically reducing their consumption of milk and milk products. Concurrently, milk production declined and now stands at fifty percent of its 1989 level. Dairies were closed down while those remaining carried on producing under constantly increasing overcapacities. In the years prior to EU accession, activities in the milk sector were primarily aimed at the adoption of EU standards. Meanwhile, the Slovakian milk processing industry is predominantly in the possession of foreign investors. Present per capita consumption of milk and milk...

Measuring Market Power in the Ready-To-Eat Cereal Industry
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Nevo,   Aviv.
The ready-to-eat cereal industry is characterized by high concentration, high price-cost margins, large advertising to sales ratios, and numerous introductions of new products. Previous researchers have concluded that the ready-to-eat cereal industry is a classic example of an industry with nearly collusive pricing behavior and intense non-price competition. This paper empirically examines this conclusion. In particular, I estimate price-cost margins, but more importantly I am able empirically to separate these margins into three parts: (1) that which is due to product differentiation; (2) that which is due to multi-product firm pricing; and (3) that due to potential price collusion. The results suggest that given the demand for different brands of cereal,...

This paper investigates volatility spillover effects, i.e. 'meteor showers' and 'heat waves', across consumer meat prices for lamb, beef, pork, and poultry. The empirical analysis used the methodology of the Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedastic (GARCH) approach. The empirical results support the presence of significant 'meteor shower' and 'heat wave' effects across the four meat categories under consideration.

Connecting Product Attributes with Emotional Benefits. Analysis of a Mediterranean product across consumer age segments
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Barrena Figueroa,   Ramo; Sanchez Garcia,   Mercedes.
Due to a high level of product substitution in the food market, it often proves difficult to strike a balance between supply and demand. This is especially true in sectors with a such high level of competition and product differentiation as the wine producing sector. Faced with the difficulty of differentiating the product in terms of its technical characteristics, quality and price, therefore, a useful alternative is to explore what consumers perceive to be its "emotional benefits", since these have been shown to have a decisive effect on consumer purchasing decisions. For marketing purposes, an understanding of how consumers' personality traits condition their choice of products can help manufacturers to improve their strategic positioning in the market....

Autores: Helmle,   Simone.
This article presents a study about the symbolic significance of shopping in the organic store. The data are based on autobiographic reports and analyzed using grounded theory. The result is a concept with finding of identity and well-being as the main categories. According to these categories, hypotheses about the structures of personal values were proposed. Such structures are the perception of an alternative lifestyle as something normal, sympathetic ideas towards farm production and ideas about selfsufficiency. A strong point of the analysis is the abundance of empirical material, but the small number of cases and the subjects strong philosophical nature are restrictive.

Fruit and Vegetable Consumption by Low-Income Americans:  Would a Price Reduction Make a Difference?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dong,   Diansheng; Lin,   Biing-Hwan.
Americans’ diets, particularly those of low-income households, fall short of Government recommendations in the quantity of fruits and vegetables consumed. Some proposals suggest that a price subsidy for those products would encourage low-income Americans to consume more of them. This study estimated that a 10-percent subsidy would encourage low-income Americans to increase their consumption of fruits by 2.1-5.2 percent and vegetables by 2.1-4.9 percent. The annual cost of such a subsidy for low-income Americans would be about $310 million for fruits and $270 million for vegetables. And most would still not meet Federal dietary recommendations.

Autores: Aradhyula,   Satheesh V.; Holt,   Matthew T.
This article applies recent developments in time-series modeling to analyze the retail prices of beef, pork, and chicken. Specifically, generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) models were fitted to these data to determine if, unlike more traditional time-series models, the conditional variances of the underlying stochastic processes are nonconstant. The estimation results indicate that the constant conditional variances assumption can be rejected. Furthermore, ex post forecast intervals generated from the GARCH processes indicate that the forecasting accuracy of the estimated models has varied widely over time with substantial volatility occurring during the 1970s and early 1980s.

Impacts of monetary and macroeconomic factors on food prices in West Africa
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kargbo,   J.M.
After almost two decades of implementing structural and macroeconomic adjustment programmes, some West African countries continue to experience declining trends in per capita domestic food production, rising food imports and volatile food prices. Real food prices increased up to 7 percent per year during the 1980-1998 period. A vector error correction model was used in investigating the impacts of monetary and macroeconomic factors on food prices during the 1960-1998 period. Food price shocks have significant impacts on domestic food production, and are a major source of macroeconomic instability in West Africa. Trade, exchange rate and monetary policy reforms have significant impacts on food prices and domestic agricultural production. These policies...

COORDINATING PRODUCTION AND DISPOSAL OF COMMODITY STOCKPILES WITH APPLICATION TO AUSTRALIA'S WOOL INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hertzler,   Greg.
Following the dismantling of a price-support program, a central bureaucracy is left with a commodity stockpile to dispose. It happened with wheat and feed grains in the U.S. in 1986 and wool in Australia in 1991. It soon may happen in Europe with grains, manufactured dairy products and other commodities which have supported prices. Obvious policies include privatising the stockpile, disposing of the stockpile by a central bureaucracy and quarantining the stockpile from the market. Each policy imposes constraints on disposal based, perhaps, on judgments of political acceptability to producers and government. In this article, optimal rules for production and disposal are derived and solved and a new policy is proposed. Then the model is applied to the...

ELASTICITY OF SUPPLY AND THE INCENTIVE FOR COLLUSIVE BUYING
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Piggott,   Roley R.
A model is developed to show how changes in the elasticity of the supply function at the farm level offset increased levels of buyer (processor) concentration such that given percentage increases in demand by large buyers result in the same, or smaller, percentage price changes than do increases in demand on the part of small buyers. Since the incentive for collusive buying is a function of the potential price increases which follow demand increases, there may be little incentive for buyers to collude even if they are highly concentrated.

Food Price Volatility and Macroeconomic Factors: Evidence from GARCH and GARCH-X Estimates
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Apergis,   Nicholas; Rezitis,   Anthony N.
This article examines food price volatility in Greece and how it is affected by short-run deviations between food prices and macroeconomic factors. The methodology follows the GARCH and GARCH-X models. The results show that there exists a positive effect between the deviations and food price volatility. The results are highly important for producers and consumers because higher volatility augments the uncertainty in the food markets. Once the participants receive a signal that the food market is volatile, this might lead them to ask for increased government intervention in the allocation of investment resources and this could reduce overall welfare.

Then we compare two indexes that are used in agronomic literature to measure the intensity of pesticides uses. We retain a Linear Approximated Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS) specification. A Full-Information Maximum Likelihood estimation procedure is used for dealing with the problem of censored dependent variable. We consider two cross-sections observed in 2001 and 2006 covering pesticides uses of three crops. We confirm the previous results of the literature that farmers response to price variation is very...

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SPATIAL PRICE TRANSMISSION AND GEOGRAPHICAL DISTANCE IN BRAZIL
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hernandez-Villafuerte,   Karla Vanessa.
The price transmission between markets is often interpreted as providing insights into the market’s infrastructure efficiency and transaction costs. Thus, finding a possible explanation for the degree of integration has become an issue of special interest. Recent researchers have pointed out the distance between markets as one of the possible factors. However, the distance is closely related with other elements, such as road quality and the proximity to an export point, which affect transport costs, opportunity costs and thus the integration. Therefore, what the most important factor is when determining the relationship among markets remains unclear. The cointegration framework, OLS and principal component regressions are applied in order to investigate...

The analysis of asymmetries in the price transmission mechanism at different levels of the marketing chain provides some interesting information about the degree of competition in vertical related markets. The objective of this paper is to investigate the non-linear adjustments of prices along the lamb sector in Spain. The methodology used is based on the multivariate approach to specify and estimate a Threshold Autoregressive Model. Price relationships at farm, wholesale and retail levels are considered. Results indicate that in the long-run price transmission is perfect and any supply or demand shocks are fully transmitted to all prices in the system. In the shortrun, analyses suggest that the high degree of horizontal concentration among retailers allow...

Recently gravity trade models are applied to disaggregated trade data. Here many zeros are characteristic. In the presence of excess zeros usual Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood (PPML) is still consistent, the variance covariance matrix however is invalid. Correct economic interpretation however requires also the last. So alternative estimators are looked for. STAUB &amp;WINKELMANN (2010) argue that zero-inflated count data models (i.e. zero-inflated Poisson / Negative Binomial Pseudo Maximum Likelihood (ZIPPML / ZINBPML)) are no alternative since under model misspecification these estimators are inconsistent. Yet zeroinflated Poisson Quasi-Likelihood (PQL) is a reliable alternative. It is consistent even under model misspecifications and beyond that...

Demand Estimation for US Apple Juice Imports: A Restricted Source Differentiated AIDS Model

Autores: Mekonnen,   Dawit Kelemework; Fonsah,   Esendugue Greg.
Although this paper focuses on apple juice, a restricted version of source differentiated Almost Ideal Demand System (RSDAIDS) was used to examine U.S. import demand for fresh apple, apple juice and other processed apple. Apple imports were differentiated by type and source of origin and the RSDAIDS model was estimated after imposing the general demand restrictions of adding-up, homogeneity and slutsky symmetry. Seasonality and trend variables were also included on the model. The estimation results showed that U.S. demand for apple juice from China was price inelastic with relatively high expenditure elasticity. We believe the result partially explains why China managed to have a 60 percent import market share in the sub-market despite U.S. imposition of...

Autores: Zenner,   Silvia; Wirthgen,   Bernd; Altmann,   Marianne.
Because consumers’ preferences are relevant determinants in the purchase decision, their measurement seems to be extremely important. Therefore, the article presents selected results of preference measurement (conjoint-analysis) with special regard to different food production modes (organic production, conventional production and production reflecting animal welfare aspects) and labelling of food origin (out of the region, from farm-gate and without labelling of the food origin). The empirical research shows surprising results: the organic produce is not as strongly preferred as the product alternative reflecting the animal welfare aspect. As a consequence, marketing-strategies should pay much more attention to animal welfare aspects, whereas organic...

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ojumu,   Oluwagbemiga; Hite,   Diane; Fields,   Deacue.
Individuals and households reveal their willingness to pay to enjoy environmental and natural resource services by engaging in outdoor recreation activities.  The state of Alabama and the Black-Belt region possess significant recreational fishing resources whose qualities could be improved through public and private management innovations.  To measure the value of such interventions, a baseline estimate of recreational fishing demand and potential for increasing the demand by on-site improvements needs to established. Using direct mail survey, count data obtained on individual angler characteristics, expenditures on fishing equipment, and destinations and expenditures on time and travel for each trip taken.  In addition, the kinds and quantities of fish...

FACTORS AFFECTING U.S. DEMAND FOR REDUCED-FAT MILK
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gould,   Brian W.
U.S. fluid milk consumption has changed dramatically since the early 1970s. Whole milk accounted for over 81% of commercial fluid milk disappearance in 1970. By 1993, this percentage was less than 39%. A three-equation fluid milk demand system is estimated for fluid milks that vary by fat content. The household panel data set used includes over 4,300 households who recorded fluid milk purchased for at-home consumption over a 12-month period. Given that many of these households did not consume one or more of the three milk types, the econometric model explicitly incorporates the censored nature of these commodity demands. Own and cross-price and substitution elasticities are estimated along with effects of household demographic characteristics.

Do Environmental Services Buyers Prefer Differentiated Rates? A Case Study from the Colombian Andes
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Moreno-Sanchez,   Rocio del Pilar; Maldonado,   Jorge Higinio; Wunder,   Sven; Borda,   Carlos Andres.
Flat user fees in payment for environmental services (PES) schemes promote administrative ease, and are sometimes perceived as egalitarian. However, when environmental service (ES) buyers are heterogeneous in their income and water consumption levels, this may not be optimal, as total payments become too low and services are under-supplied. This paper identifies ES buyer preferences and estimates their willingness to pay (WTP) differentiated fees in an ongoing PES initiative in an Andean watershed in Colombia. Small, flat user payments have recently been introduced to implement incipient watershed protection upstream. Environmental service users fall into two highly heterogeneous categories: smallholder peasants and owners of recreational houses. We...

ASYMMETRY IN RAW MILK SAFETY PERCEPTIONS AND INFORMATION: IMPLICATIONS FOR RISK IN FRESH PRODUCE MARKETING AND POLICY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Knutson,   Ronald D.; Currier,   Russell W.; Ribera,   Luis A.; Goeringer,   L. Paul.
Scientific evidence clearly indicates that consumption of raw milk carries substantial disease-inducing health risks. While federal U.S. policy mandates that milk moving in interstate commerce be pasteurized; within 41 of 50 states, raw milk can be obtained for consumption. Warning labels notwithstanding, a segment of U.S. consumers pays higher prices for higher-risk raw milk than for either organic or conventional milk. The behavioral factors leading to raw milk consumption are explored. The paternalistic regulatory options for reducing the risk associated with drinking raw milk are identified. Implications for fresh produce sold directly from farms to consumers or through farmers markets are drawn.

Retail Prices for Milk by Fat Content: A New Theory and Empirical Test of Retailer Pricing Behavior
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Xia,   Tian; Sexton,   Richard J.
We study a heretofore unexamined type of product differentiation, horizontally differentiated products with differential costs, and apply the analysis to retail pricing of fluid milk products. The theoretical models yield unique predictions for the relationship among prices of the four horizontally differentiated fluid milk products (skim, 1%, 2%, and whole milk) and the impacts of butterfat and nonfat milk costs on prices, depending upon the form of retail competition. An empirical analysis of retail milk pricing for four major cities in California enables tests to be conducted of which form of behavior best characterizes grocery retailing in these cities.

Consumer Demand for Meat Cuts and Seafood

Autores: Davis,   Christopher G.; Lin,   Biing-Hwan; Yen,   Steven T.
Household at-home consumption of different types and cuts of meat and fish products is investigated by estimating a large censored demand system with a two-step procedure using ACNielsen's Homescan data. We find different price and expenditure elasticities between low-income and high-income households. High income households are less responsive to price changes, and the substitution patterns also differ between the low- and high-income households. Whereas the uncompensated elasticities suggest a mixture of gross substitutes and complements among the products for both low- and high-income households, the compensated elasticities suggest net substitution is the obvious pattern for the low-income households.

Consumer Acceptance and Willingness to Pay for Blueberry Products with Nonconventional Attributes
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hu,   Wuyang; Woods,   Timothy A.; Bastin,   Sandra.
Consumer acceptance and willingness to pay for three nonconventional attributes associated with six processed blueberry products was examined through an in-store conjoint experiment survey. Both credence and experience attributes were considered, including whether the products were produced locally, and whether they were organic or sugar-free. The results indicate heterogeneity in consumer preference and willingness to pay for different attributes across product categories. Local products and organic formulations generally received positive willingness to pay across all products. This information has implications for blueberry growers and retailers who are trying to create and position value-added products for maximum revenue.

Impact of U.S. duty drawback on the demand for orange juice
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Brown,   Mark G.; Fernandes,   Waldir B.; Spreen,   Thomas H.; Lee,   Jonq-Ying.
A demand system model differentiating goods by origin is developed to examine impacts of duty drawback on U.S. orange juice exports and prices.  An empirical analysis suggests that on average duty drawback has increased annual orange juice exports by about 16.5 million SSE gallons or 11% of export sales, and has supported the U.S. price of orange juice by about 2 cents per gallon.  Not all benefits of duty drawback go to exporters.  Importers who own drawback credits but do not export product may realize benefits by selling their credits to exporters.  The analysis suggests these benefits effectively reduce by the U.S. orange juice tariff, positively impacting imports and negatively impacting the U.S. price.

Vertical Price Leadership on Local Maize Markets in Benin

This paper considers vertical price relationships between wholesalers and retailers on five local maize markets in Benin. We show that if the common factor and the long-run disequilibrium error are not explicitly taken into account in testing the channel model, one can easily be wrong about how restrictions on the error-correction structure must be interpreted in terms of economic power in the channel. The empirical results show interesting differences between markets and reveal that retailers play a more prominent role in the price formation process than generally assumed in the literature. Retailers in the two major towns do not allow wholesalers to behave as vertical price leaders, but in the two larger rural centers, wholesalers involved in arbitrage...

Autores: Esenova,   Saulesh; Dobson,   William D.
This Discussion Paper describes the challenges associated with marketing livestock, meat, milk, and dairy products in Post-Communist Kazakhstan. A major finding is that Food Master, a joint venture between Developed Technologies, Inc. of the US and Ak-Bulak, Ltd. of Kazakhstan, achieved profits and large market shares in the fluid milk business in the Almaty region of Kazakhstan. Food Master's milk procurement practices also changed the structure of the dairy business in Kazakhstan's Almaty region and provided a model for slowing the downward spiral in milk production in Kazakhstan. The study contains lessons for other agribusinesses wishing to form joint ventures in Post-Communist Central Asia.

Experimental Economics methods are used to determine Hispanic consumers’ sensory acceptance of pasture-fed beef and evaluate visual and taste influences on their overall preferences and willingness-to-pay (WTP). Two hundred and thirty-one Hispanic consumers in four experimental sites in Virginia participated in a laboratory experimental procedure where they visually examined and tasted pasture-fed and conventionally produced grain-fed beef, and then participated in a non-hypothetical Multiple Price Lists (MPL) experiment to determine their WTP. Hispanic consumers perceived significant differences between pasture-fed and grain-fed beef’s appearance and taste.

IMPACTS ON U.S. PRICES OF REDUCING ORANGE JUICE TARIFFS IN MAJOR WORLD MARKETS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Brown,   Mark G.; Spreen,   Thomas H.; Lee,   Jonq-Ying.
A demand model is developed to examine the impacts on orange juice prices resulting from elimination or reduction of the tariffs on orange juice imposed by the United States, European Union, and Japan. An empirical analysis suggests that elimination of the U.S. tariff by itself would decrease the U.S. orange juice price by about $0.22 per gallon, while simultaneous elimination of the U.S., European, and Japanese tariffs would decrease the U.S. price by about $0.13 per gallon. Alternatively, reducing these tariffs according to the Swiss 25 formula would decrease the U.S. price by an estimated $0.09 per gallon. The U.S. produces about 1.4 billion gallons of orange juice annually and each penny reduction in the price impact increases U.S. orange juice FOB...

Autores: Balagtas,   Joseph Valdes; Kreutzer,   Kristina N.
This paper evaluates the economic consequences of milk marketing orders for producers and consumers in organic and conventional milk markets.  We develop a multi-market equilibrium displacement model that disaggregates the organic and conventional segments of the California milk market in order to evaluate the economic effects of alternative policies.  We find that exemption of organics from marketing order regulation would make organic farmers better off at the expense of conventional farmers, but that complete deregulation would make both organic and conventional farms worse off.

Fast Food, Addiction, and Market Power

Autores: Richards,   Timothy J.; Patterson,   Paul M.; Hamilton,   Stephen F.
Many attribute the rise in obesity since the early 1980's to the overconsumption of fast food.  A dynamic model of a different-product industry equilibrium shows that a firm with market power will price below marginal cost in a steady-state equilibrium.  A spatial hedonic pricing model is used to test whether fast food firms set prices in order to exploit their inherent addictiveness.  The results show that firms price products dense in addictive nutrients below marginal cost, but price products high in nonaddictive nutrients higher than would be the case in perfect competition.

This study has examined the determinants of farmland values in Canada. The empirical results for the period 1959-2004 show that farmland values seem to be disconnected from adjusted earnings per acre regardless of model specification. Differences in model specification can change the interpretation of the importance of government payments in influencing farm land values. If a time trend is included in the land value function government payments appear to have no effect on land values; when the time trend is removed they have a statistically significant positive effect on land values. With respect to the other explanatory variables, the higher the population density, the higher farmland values, indicating that urbanization increases farmland values....

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Frost,   Mark; Parton,   Kevin A.
The Australian dollar is considered a commodity-based currency, with the high level of primary commodity exports in Australia’s trade balance given as an explanation. Key studies have concluded that Australia’s terms of trade are a primary driver of the real exchange rate based on a comparative advantage trade model. These studies have been undertaken at an aggregate level where changes in the terms of trade have been assumed as a given. Since the Australian economy was deregulated in the early 1980s, there have been dramatic changes in the structure of the economy. Australia’s trading activity has grown and now contributes more within the domestic economy. Similarly the structure and contribution of key imports and exports has also evolved. Furthermore...

Autores: Kastens,   Terry L.; Jones,   Rodney D.; Schroeder,   Ted C.
The forecasting accuracy of five competing naïve and futures-based localized cash price forecasts is determined. The third-week's price each month from 1987-96 is forecasted from several vantage points. Commodities examine include those relevant to Midwest producers: the major grains, slaughter steers, slaughter hogs, several classes of feeder cattle, cull cows, and sows. Relative forecasting accuracy across forecast method is compared using regression models of forecast error. The traditional forecast method deferred futures plus historical basis has the greatest accuracy- even for cull cows. Adding complexity to forecasts, such as including regression models to capture nonlinear bases or biases in futures markets, does not improve accuracy.

ESTIMATION OF MODAL DEMAND ELASTICITIES IN GRAIN TRANSPORTATION
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Wilson,   William W.
Recent legislation in the transportation industry has stimulated a move toward more flexibility in railroad pricing and has consequently provided the impetus for the analysis of transportation demand.  Modal demands for grain transportation are analyzed in this paper using a derived demand approach assuming dual relationships between production and cost functions of shippers' distribution activities.  Hypotheses were introduced in the empirical specification about the effects of rail car shortages and the introduction of multiple-car rail rates.  The model was estimated and hypotheses tested in the case of eastbound wheat and barley shipments form North Dakota.

We revisit the composite food demand system for the United States covering the period from 1953 to 2008. We were unable to produce elasticity measures that are as close or similar to those reported in Huang and Haidacher (1983), although the same demand system specification was employed. Our results based on the more recent data set of 1982-2008 show that most of the own-price elasticities are negative and statistically significant, varying from -.1861 (poultry) to -.9476 (nonfood). In general, the estimated own-price elasticities appear to be smaller in magnitude or more inelastic than previously reported. In contrast, we estimate the significant income elasticities for food vary from .5172 (dairy) to 4.6687 (fish), while Huang and Haidaicher (1983)...

The Economics of Health Behavior and Vitamin Consumption
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Schroeter,   Christiane; Anders,   Sven M.; Carlson,   Andrea; Rickard,   Bradley J.
Conventionally, fruits and vegetables have been the major source of micronutrients. However, with the rising availability of nutritional supplements, U.S. consumers no longer need to rely on food alone for their nutritional needs. Time-pressured consumers with limited cooking skills and nutrition knowledge may find it easier to take vitamin supplements. The objective of this paper is to determine the impact of lifestyle, diet behavior including vitamin supplement consumption, and food culture on diet quality outcomes as measured by the Healthy Eating Index-2005 (HEI) and total energy intake. We use the 2003-04 U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to examine the relationship between HEI and caloric intake. Further, our specific...

Does the King Use Its Power? Price Competition in U.S. Brewing
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Rojas,   Christian.
Pricing behavior of firms in differentiated product markets has been studied intensely in recent empirical work. Despite several accounts in various industries, price leadership has remained mostly unassessed. This study analyzes price competition in the U.S. brewing industry with a focus on price leadership by the largest U.S. beer producer Anheuser-Busch and its heavily marketed "King of Beers" brand Budweiser. This paper employs a unique nationwide data set on brand-level sales collected before and after a 100% increase in the federal excise tax on beer. Brand-level demand estimates are combined with several supply models, including several price leadership scenarios, to simulate prices that would have prevailed under each model after the tax increase....

The Demand for Organic Food in the U.S.: An Empirical Assessment
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Li,   Jinghan; Zepeda,   Lydia; Gould,   Brian W.
This analysis examines the determinants of organic food purchase behavior of a random sample of U.S. food shoppers. We analyze food expenditures conditional upon whether a household purchases organic foods. The results from our econometric modeling effort identify shopping venue, awareness of the organic label, positive beliefs toward organic foods, a positive attitude toward cooking, and a lack of religious affiliation as being important determinants of organic food purchases. Income was not found to significantly affect the decision to buy organic foods. Our results suggest that the limiting factors of the organic food market are search cost, dietary patterns, and awareness of the organic food label. Given the recent “Wal-Mart” effect on the organic food...

ECO-LABELING STRATEGIES: THE ECO-PREMIUM PUZZLE IN THE WINE INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Delmas,   Magali A.; Grant,   Laura E.
Eco-labeling signals that a product has been eco-certified. While there is increasing use of eco-labeling practices, there is still little understanding of the conditions under which eco-labels can command price premiums. In this paper, we argue that the certification of environmental practices by a third party should be analyzed as a strategy distinct from although related to the advertisement of the eco-certification through a label posted on the product. By assessing eco-labeling and eco-certification strategies separately, we are able to identify benefits associated with the certification process independently from those associated with the actual label. More specifically, we argue in the context of the wine industry that eco-certification can provide...

SPATIAL COMPETITION AND PRICING IN THE AGRICULTURAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hall,   R. Lee; Dorfman,   Jeffrey H.; Gunter,   Lewell F.
Three theories of spatial competition are tested on retail price data for the agricultural chemical industry.  The empirical tests find only weak evidence of any spatial competition using primary data from sixty-five retailers and twelve different chemicals.  Demand and supply-side variables have statistically significant, but economically trivial impacts on retail chemical prices.  Competition in the local retail chemical markets appears to have virtually no effect on the retail chemical prices.  These results point indirectly to a virtually complete control of retail prices by the chemical manufacturers, likely through the rebate program they offer retailers.  The oligopoly structure of the chemical manufacturing industry makes such control possible....

USING A CHOICE EXPERIMENT TO ESTIMATE THE DEMAND OF HUNGARIAN FARMERS FOR FOOD SECURITY AND AGROBIODIVERSITY DURING ECONOMIC TRANSITION
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Birol,   Ekin; Kontoleon,   Andreas; Smale,   Melinda.
Hungarian home gardens are small farms that are repositories of agrobiodiversity and provide food security during economic transition. We use a choice experiment to test the hypothesis that farmer demand for home gardens will decrease as markets develop with European Union accession. Data represent 22 communities with varying levels of market and social infrastructure. We find that farmers located in more economically developed communities choose to be less dependent on small farms for food and prefer lower levels of agrobiodiversity. Findings indicate that the survival of small farms is jeopardized by economic change, but point to some conservation policy options.

Organic food demand is becoming increasingly important throughout the world. Despite this relevance, however, not many attempts have been carried out to profile this food market segment. This paper aims to investigate on motivations that drive consumers towards purchasing organic foods in Italy. Through a survey carried out in some organic specialized stores sited in Sardinia, we explored organic consumer behaviour with specific emphasis on understanding reasons consumers have to buy organic products. A Multiple Correspondence Analysis has obtained four consumers’ motivational profiles and several findings. Furthermore, a Logit regression allowed us to evaluate the relationships between individual motivations and some socio-demographic characteristics of...

SAFEX maize price volatility scrutinised
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Geyser,   Mariette; Cutts,   Michela.
Commodity prices in general are known to have a high volatility. This is in fact what attracts speculators.  The South African futures exchange (SAFEX) is not immune to this volatility.  Volatility increases the risk of paying higher prices for a specific commodity, and it also makes the use of derivative instruments to hedge against price risk more expensive.  Given the importance of South Africa as a regional supplier of maize and price discovery mechanism, investigations into the volatility of the maize price are not only important, but also indispensable if all parties involved are to manage this risk.  The question therefore is whether the SAFEX maize price volatility can be explained by using fundamental factors or whether this volatility is...

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Estes,   Edmund A.; Smith,   V. Kerry.
National opinion polls indicate that pesticide residues on fresh fruits and vegetables remain an important concern of American consumers, despite a decade-long increase in per capita consumption levels for fresh fruits and vegetables. Increased availability of organically grown fruits and vegetables may change consumer produce purchase behavior which is often dominated by appearance considerations. Domestic consumers likely consider and tradeoff price, visual appearance, and health risk when buying fresh produce. This paper uses an hedonic framework to examine price, appearance, and health risk considerations made by Tucson, Arizona shoppers in 1994.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cortez,   Rafael; Senauer,   Benjamin.
This study uses nonparametric techniques to analyze the stability of demand for 19 major food categories among various demographic groups in the United States. Households are divided into population groups by income, the head's age, and the spouse's education level. The data used are from the 1980-1990 Dairy portion of the Bureau of Labor Statistics annual Consumer Expenditures Surveys. The programming model developed by Sakong and Hayes is used to test for and measure taste changes. Substantial differences in preference trends between population groups are found for many of the food commodities.

PRIVATE LABELS: A MECHANISM FOR FULFILLING CONSUMER DEMAND FOR HEALTHY FOOD?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Weaver,   Robert D.; Moon,   Yongma.
As consumer preferences rapidly evolve with respect to health-related attributes of food, many have questioned the performance of the conventional food industry to fulfill new demand. As the structure of the industry has shifted toward conditions where retailers have access to and incentive to respond to rapidly changing information concerning consumer preferences, it is relevant to consider the conditions under which retailers will offer private labeled healthy food products not available from national brand manufacturers. This paper presents a theory of the dynamic, stochastic decision of retailers to offer private label products that are close substitutes to national brands. Within the context of salient features of healthy foods, we examine the role of...

A censored demand system estimator is proposed by extending the sample selection model of Heckman.  Censoring is governed by a selection mechanism which avoids the restricitve Tobit parameterization.  Results of application to household consumption of beverages suggest the estimator produces slightly different elasticity estimates from the Tobit estimator.  Demands for beverages are nearly unitary elastic, and net substitution is an obvious pattern.

This paper examines potential consumer demand for ecolabeled apples.  Since apples are purchased by 90% of U.S. households, we are able to investigate the choices of a large and diverse cross section of consumers.  Focusing on a single agricultural product such as apples enables us to investigate more specific and realistic consumer choices. This paper also examines how different types of ecolabel claims might affect consumer demand.  Ecolabels may vary in terms of the comprehensiveness of their environmental claims and the amount of proof substantiating claims.  Ecolabels might claim to reduce only a single environmental impact or they might claim to reduce multiple environmental impacts.  There may be no proof for the claims other than seller reputation...

Vertical price transmission between market operators in Hungarian agricultural product chains
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Varga,   Tibor.
Price transmission studies related to the cointegration of price time series are a suitable means for studying market dominance at the various market levels in the food product chains. For this study a price transmission asymmetry study was carried out for 18 commercial food product chains. In this study a monthly price time series was used for the period 2001 to 2005. It was found that there is significant product variation in market dominance which spans the entire industry. However, the variation is not significantly linked to either sectors or vertical levels. At times it is unstable and can easily tilt toward the vertical partner level. Depending on price changes, it can also vary, which, in turn, reflects changes in weather conditions. Following a...

ON THE SUPPLY FUNCTION OF THE HUNGARIAN PORK MARKET
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Nyars,   Levente; Vizvari,   Bela.
The Hungarian pork market has been in a decreasing position in the last years. The main reasons for that is the increasing international competition, the Hungarian support system has been replaced by CMO of pigmeat and the decrease of pig meat consumption as a result of customer behaviour. There was no exact estimation of the Hungarian supply function. In a earlier paper we have published for regression equations for it. In the first part of present paper we show that these equations forecasted in a appropriate way the pessimistic scenario. The second part of paper discusses revisited, new regression equations.

Autores: Poray,   Michael C.; Foster,   Kenneth A.; Dorfman,   Jeffrey H.
Structural change in meat consumption has been the focus of many researchers during the last two decades. In this paper we develop a dynamic linear Almost Ideal Demand  System (AIDS) model from a cost function that allows for time varying parameters. This model is consistent with inertia in the parameters of the cost and indirect utility functions. It allows for persistent preferences which may arise from cultural biases, lifestyles, peer pressure, etc. An empirical application is conducted with US meat consumption and price data using a generalized system of flexible least squares, Generalized Flexible Least Squares (GFLS). GFLS allows parameters to evolve slowly over time through incorporating of penalties in fluctuations. Estimated quarterly...

Factors Affecting Farmers’ Utilization of Agricultural Risk Management Tools: The Case of Crop Insurance, Forward Contracting, and Spreading Sales
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Velandia,   Margarita M.; Rejesus,   Roderick M.; Knight,   Thomas O.; Sherrick,   Bruce J.
Factors affecting the adoption of crop insurance, forward contracting, and spreading sales are analyzed using multivariate and multinomial probit approaches that account for simultaneous adoption and/or correlation among the three risk management adoption decisions. Our empirical results suggest that the decision to adopt crop insurance, forward contracting, and/or spreading sales are correlated. Richer insights can be drawn from our multivariate and multinomial probit analysis than from separate, single-equation probit estimation that assumes independence of adoption decisions. Some factors significantly affecting the adoption of the risk management tools analyzed are proportion of owned acres, off-farm income, education, age, and level of business risks.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Parrott,   Scott D.; Eastwood,   David B.; Brooker,   John R.
An empirical model of the price relationship between distribution stages is developed based on the Shiller lag. The assumption of constant returns to scale is relaxed to incorporate changes in the volume of shipments. An iterative GLS methodology is developed to estimate the model. Tests for symmetry, length of adjustment, and the amount of price transmission are outlined. An application using the change in the retail price of tomatoes based on shipping point price changes is described. Results suggest that the supermarket chain does not respond differently to price increases versus decreases at the shipping point level.

We use Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods to investigate the linkage between the volatility of ethanol security prices and the uncertainty surrounding the profitability of ethanol production and the price variations of non-ethanol energy securities. The joint evolution of return and volatility is modeled as a stochastic process that incorporates jumps in both return and volatility. While a strong and significant correlation is found between the volatility of ethanol securities and profit uncertainty from June 2005 to July 2008, the dynamic pattern of ethanol stock volatility is strikingly similar to that of the S&amp;P 500 energy sector index in the more recent period.

In the mid-2000’s, Goldman Sachs identified two groups of emerging economies known as the BRICs and the Next-11. Primarily selected on the basis of having large populations, these countries were heralded as the growth centres of the future with the potential to stimulate increased demand for a wide range of commodities, including food. This study uses an import demand model to estimate how income influences per capita expenditure on agrifood imports in 63 countries. The findings suggest that as groups the BRICs and N-11 do not di↵er from other low, middle, or high income countries with respect to their import behaviour. However, disaggregation of the two groups reveals significantly larger expenditure elasticities for China, India, South Korea and Vietnam....

In examining demand for a product it is useful to think of consumers not as purchasing the product, but as purchasing its characteristics that provide utility. Consequently, it is important to measure the specific characteristics that consumers perceive as providing them with utility. In this article a hedonic pricing model is used to investigate the influence of different cowpea characteristics on cowpea prices in Senegal. The results provide valuable information for research institutions, producers, and traders. Cowpea plant breeders should emphasise large grain size as the main characteristic since buyers are willing to pay a premium for this characteristic. This should translate into higher returns on R&amp;D. There exist differences between markets in...

This paper analyses U.S. demand for fresh vegetable imports using a dynamic AIDS model. The commodities selected for the study include tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and asparagus. The results shows that the demand for fresh vegetable imports is more elastic compared to the demand for domestic fresh vegetables. Also demand for all the fresh vegetables is significantly responsive to changes in own-price and expenditure. Fresh tomatoes, peppers, and cucumber imports do not complement domestic supply as is often believed but are significant substitutes.

Analysis of Value-Added Meat Product Choice Behaviour by Canadian Households
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Zhang,   Xu; Goddard,   Ellen W.
The competitive landscape in retailing has changed over the past decade. Moreover, the degree of product differentiation has been increasing: households are able to choose between an increasing number of store brands and national brands of similar products. The value added meat market is no different than any other sector of the grocery market – both national brands and private label brands are being developed to appeal to the consumer‘s desire for convenience, health, production and environmental attributes. Understanding the factors that are influencing consumers‘ value added meat product preferences is important for meat manufacturers who wish to add value to their firm‘s performance and increase market share. This knowledge is required in order to...

Quality Management in Supply Chain Networks - The Case of Poland
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hanf,   Jon Henrich; Pieniadz,   Agata.
In this article we suggest that rising quality requirements are key factors for the redesign of food chains. We argue that the food supply proceeds through pyramidalhierarchical strategic networks coordinated by powerful focal firms. These firms choose a quality strategy and employ chain quality management concepts by exerting managerial discretion to achieve the super-ordinate network aims. We introduce and elaborate upon two types of chain quality management: strategic and operative. The theoretical findings have been tested using evidence from the Polish dairy market. Semi-structured interviews were conducted across the various hierarchical levels of the 19 largest Polish dairy cooperatives during the spring of 2006. The results show that the firms’...

Ethanol and Meat in the U.S.: A Multi-Market Analysis
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bhattacharya,   Suparna; Azzam,   Azzeddine M.; Mark,   Darrell R.
Since corn is the primary feedstock used for producing ethanol in the U.S., and ethanol production yields byproducts that can be fed to livestock in combination with corn, addressing the effect of ethanol production on meat markets should consider not only demand and supply interdependence between corn, ethanol, and ethanol byproducts; but also demand and supply interdependence between different types of meats. This paper develops a multi-market equilibrium displacement model to account for the interdependence. Six markets are considered: beef, pork, poultry, corn, ethanol, and ethanol byproducts. Results show that poultry is the most sensitive to ethanol production, followed by beef and pork.

DERIVED DEMAND FOR WHEAT BY CLASS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Terry,   Justin J.; Marsh,   Thomas L.
To quantify price responsiveness and economic substitutability among wheat classes, derived demand functions were specified from a normalized quadratic profit function. Own-price and cross-price elasticities were estimated for hard red winter, hard red spring, soft wheat (combined red and white), and durum wheat. In general, soft wheat varieties were less responsive to their own price than were hard wheat varieties. Cross-price elasticities indicate that hard red winter wheat, hard red spring wheat, and soft wheat varieties are economic substitutes. Cross-price elasticities are different from those previously reported, which can have important policy implications.

The Consequences of a Strong Depreciation of the U.S. Dollar on Agricultural Markets
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Charlebois,   Pierre; Hamann,   Nathalie.
World prices for basic food commodities increased significantly in 2007-2008, triggering a worldwide food crisis. Among all the factors that contributed to the rise in agricultural prices in 2008, the depreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to other major currencies cannot be overlooked. The currencies of the major players in agricultural markets have shown strong appreciation from 2002 to 2008. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a strong depreciation of the U.S. dollar on the world prices of food commodities. Given the current U.S. budget situation, future depreciation is possible. This would again have consequences on world commodity prices and on the competitiveness of different countries. Thus, the final section assesses what...

Identifying the Effect of Unobserved Quality and Expert Reviews in the Pricing of Experience Goods: Empirical Application on Bordeaux Wine
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dubois,   Pierre; Nauges,   Celine.
We propose a structural empirical approach à la Levinsohn and Petrin (2003) to disentangle the effect of experts’ grades from the effect of unobserved quality on the pricing of experience goods. Using a panel data set of 108 châteaux selling wine on the Bordeaux ‘en primeur’ market, we provide some empirical validation for the theoretical result that  the price set by wine producers is used as a signal for wine quality. We confirm that experts’ grades affect producers’ choice of ‘en primeur’ price above the effect of unobserved wine quality.  Our empirical results also show that failing to control for endogeneity caused by the omission of unobserved leads to over-estimate the influence of experts’ grades  on the ‘en primeur’ price.

Using Rotterdam demand system this study examines the demand relationships among four random-weight (FW) and fixed-weight citrus (RW). Results indicated that FW and RW grapefruit (and FW and RW oranges) are not substitutes; however, RW tangerine is a substitute of FW tangerines. In addition, promoting FW grapefruit would not influence the demand for RW grapefruit and vice versa. Promoting FW oranges (or FW tangerines) would decrease the demand for RW oranges (or RW tangerines) and vice versa.

Show Quality Quarter Horse Auctions: Price Determinants and Buy-Back Practices

Autores: Taylor,   Mykel R.; Dhuyvetter,   Kevin C.; Kastens,   Terry L.; Douthit,   Megan; Marsh,   Thomas L.
This study estimates the price determinants of show quality quarter horses sold at auction. Several characteristics including genetic and physical traits, quality of pedigree, and performance record of the horse, as well as the horse's offspring, were found to significantly impact selling price. Sale order positively affected price and appears to be driven by buyers rather than intentional ordering of the horses. A common practice at horse auctions is for the seller to reject the final bid offered and buy back the horse. Model-predicted prices for these buy-back horses indicate they are not undervalued by the final bids, based on their characteristics.

Autores: Rafajlovic,   Juanita; Cardwell,   Ryan T.
Current Doha Development Agenda (DDA) World Trade Organisation negotiations include proposals that would affect the trade barriers that protect Canada’s chicken producers from foreign competition. This research analyses the effects of the most recent proposals to emerge from the DDA negotiation on Canada’s chicken industry. We develop a partial-equilibrium model that generates welfare effects for the Canadian chicken industry supply chain. We also introduce stochastic prices to evaluate the effects of world price instability on the Canadian chicken industry. The model is also adapted to represent chicken as two distinct products; white meat and dark meat. Simulation results suggest that the welfare effects of the DDA proposals on the Canadian chicken...

Autores: Staudigel,   Matthias.
This study analyses whether Russian households differ in their choice of food quality when they differ in their number of overweight and obese members. Using survey data from the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS) for the years 1995-2005, households are classified into three weight groups. Quality elasticities of expenditures are estimated by a fixed-effects panel model regressing unit values of several food groups on expenditures and a set of household characteristics. Coefficients for each weight group are received by including interaction terms of expenditures and weight group dummies. A set of Wald tests is applied to test for slope heterogeneity across weight groups. Descriptive statistics reveal that obese households actually purchase...

Factor and Cluster Analysis of Willingness to Pay for Organic and Non-GM Food
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gifford,   Katie; Bernard,   John C.
A large segment of consumers appear to value niche products including organic, “non-GM,” “pesticide-free,” and “no antibiotics used” more in fresh products than in processed. About ten percent of the respondents were especially interested in non-GM products. These consumers feel that GM labeling is important, but felt that other types of food labels were relatively unimportant. The non-GM audience defied easy demographic profiling. Data were collected by both surveys and experimental auctions, with factor analysis and cluster analysis used to interpret the data. The survey and experimental auction data yielded different willingness-to-pay values but showed similar patterns of consumer preferences.

Getting Something From Nothing: An Investigation of Beef Demand Expansion and Substitution in the Presence of Quality Heterogeneity
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gunderson,   Michael A.; Lusk,   Jayson L.; Norwood,   F. Bailey.
A relative increase in demand for quality can have one of two potentially countervailing effects: it can cause substitution of one quality for another and/or it might expand overall demand by bringing new consumers into the market. This article investigates demand expansion and substitution among beef qualities by exploiting the use of a no-purchase option in a nonhypothetical choice experiment involving real food and real money. A random parameters logit model, which permits very flexible substitution patterns, is used to show that expanding demand for high quality rib-eye steak increases revenue by a greater degree than expanding demand for low quality steak. Regardless of whether high or low quality demand is expanded, the expansion effect dominates the...

Improving Food Security in Africa: Highlights of 25 Years of Research, Capacity-Building, and Outreach.
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Food Security Group at Michigan State University.
Decades of research have led to substantially improved understanding of the nature of food insecurity. A combination of economic growth and targeted programs resulted in a steady fall (until the food crisis of 2007/08) in the percentage of the world’s population suffering from undernutrition (from 20% in 1990/92 to 16% in 2006). Yet over a billion people still face both chronic and/or transitory food insecurity due to long-standing problems of inadequate income, low-productivity in agricultural production and marketing, and related problems of poor health and absence of clean water. Assuring adequate food security for such a large share of the world’s population is increasingly challenging due to continuing resource degradation driven by a combination of...

Autores: Lanfranco,   Bruno A.; Ames,   Glenn C.W.; Huang,   Chung L.
The objective of this research was to analyze the demand patterns of Hispanic households for meats in comparison with other ethnic groups using data from the 1998 Consumer Expenditure Survey. A system of demand equations of the LinQuad form were estimated for ten meat products using an incomplete system of censored equations. Hispanic households showed a clear preference for beef. Price, income and household size elasticities were estimated for each meat product by ethnic group. The demand for ground beef was the most income inelastic product regardless of ethnicity. Household size had a positive effect on the probability of consuming a particular meat product but a negative effect on actual item expenditures.

IDENTIFYING MONETARY IMPACTS ON FOOD PRICES IN CHINA: A VEC MODEL APPROACH
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Peng,   Xuehua; Marchant,   Mary A.; Reed,   Michael R.
This research attempts to investigate the impacts of monetary variables (such as money supply and interest rates) on food prices in China using a vector error correction (VEC) model approach.  Evidence indicates that monetary variables and the food price index (FPI) have a long-run equilibrium relationship in China.  Furthermore, the direction of Granger-causality moves from the money supply to the FPI and then to interest rates, rather than the reverse.  Monetary impacts on food prices in China mainly stem from the money supply rather than interest rates.

How Mexico's Dairy Industry Has Evolved Under the NAFTA - Implications for U.S. Dairy Exporters and U.S. Investors in Mexico's Dairy-Food Businesses
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dobson,   William D.; Proctor,   Richard.
This Discussion Paper shows that the demand for imported dairy products will continue to be strong in Mexico, especially after the 2001-2002 recession ends. However, Mexico's dairy markets have matured under the NAFTA. As part of the maturity, a larger number of strong domestic firms have emerged and powerful European multi-nationals have increased dairy product sales in Mexico. In addition, the expansion of U.S. exports of fluid milk, yogurt, dried whey, and lactose to Mexico will be slow in near future because U.S. market shares of imports of these products are already large. Thus, Mexico's dairy markets no longer represent "low hanging fruit" (if they ever did) for U.S. dairy exporters and direct investors

For European operators of biofuels plants there are not many hedge vehicles available to hedge operational margins. Cross hedges for rapeoil (with the rapeseed futures contract) and RME (with the NYMEX diesel futures contract) could be useful instruments. We use recent developments on threshold cointegration approaches to investigate if asymmetric dynamic adjusting processes exist among rapeseed and diesel prices. The results suggest that a threeregime threshold cointegration model suitably explains the dynamics of the data.

Canadian Consumer's Willingness-To-Pay For Pesticide Free Food Products: An Ordered Probit Analysis
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cranfield,   John A.L.; Magnusson,   Erik.
A new crop production system has emerged in western Canada. Pesticide Free ProductionTM (PFPTM) emphasizes reduced pesticide use in conjunction with increased reliance on producer knowledge of agronomic practices that mitigate weed, insect and disease pressure. A contingent valuation survey was undertaken to determine if Canadian consumers would pay a premium for PFPTM food products. Over 65 percent of respondents would be willing to pay a one to ten percent premium relative to a conventional food product. Five percent of respondents would be willing to pay more than a 20 percent premium. Health and environmental concerns, willingness to switch grocery stores and youth are important characteristics of consumers who would be willing to pay higher premiums....

Trade Policy Implications of Carbon Labels on Food
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Baddeley,   Shane; Cheng,   Peter; Wolfe,   Robert.
Carbon labels providing information about the carbon footprints associated with food products might influence consumer purchases, which would have a differential effect on producers throughout global food chains. We first discuss why any labels work and then describe the mechanics of carbon labels. The novelty of the paper is an examination of the issues members of the WTO have raised about all types of labels since 1995. Although carbon labels are voluntary standards for now, their increasing use could become effectively mandatory. Difficulties for exporters will include the lack of an international standard and the challenge, especially for developing country exporters, of dealing with complex carbon footprint procedures.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dong,   Diansheng; Gould,   Brian W.
This study develops a unique double-hurdle model of demand for composite food commodities which endogenizes unit values. The model structure allows us to account for the inability to observe such values for non-purchasing households and simultaneously adjusts for quality demand effects reflected in these unit values.  Application to Mexican household food expenditure data shows the importance of controlling for the quality of composite goods.  We find that poultry and pork expenditures depend on both quantity demanded and quality desired.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Folwell,   Raymond J.; Mittelhammer,   Ronald C.; Wang,   Q.
The bargaining process and its role in price discovery within the Pacific Northwest asparagus industry is analyzed using a general empirical bargaining model.  Growers' and processors' inverse supply and demand functions define boundaries for the negotiated prices.  OLS and Heckman's two-stage estimation procedures are used to estimate a stochastic bargaining model of price determination.  The results indicate that basic supply and demand forces exert substantial influences on the bargaining process.  In particular, expected levels of supply play a paramount role in the level of prices offered, while past prices also influence current offers.  The general framework of analysis used in relation to asparagus can be generalized to other commodities where...

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Evans,   Jason R.; D'Souza,   Gerard E.; Collins,   Alan R.; Brown,   Cheryl; Sperow,   Mark.
The focus of the current study was on the market potential for grass-fed beef in the Appalachian region, given that these products embody observed, experiential, nutritional, and process attributes that may appeal to a large consumer base. An in-store variant of the Becker-DeGroot-Marschack experimental auction mechanism was employed in the region to determine consumer preferences and willingness to pay. A majority of respondents preferred the grass-fed product over conventional grain-fed samples and were willing to pay a price premium to obtain it. Preferences for grass-fed were rooted largely in the associated superior nutritional content and core observed attributes.

DETERMINANTS OF COW-CALF PAIR PRICES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Parcell,   Joseph L.; Schroeder,   Ted C.; Hiner,   Frina D.
Cow-calf prices are determined by interaction of many factors. At a particular auction, cow-calf pair prices often had a range of 75% of the mean price. This variability suggests that producers need to be informed regarding cow-calf price determinants. This study uses auction data during 1993 to estimate price differentials associated with cow-calf  pair characteristics using a hedonic model. Cow breed, age, health, conditions, horns, frame, and whether the cow had been bred back were significant price determinants. Calf weight, health, and frame had significant price impacts. Highest prices were paid for pens containing 9-12 pairs of young Angus, dehorned, bred back, healthy cows with heavy healthy calves.

Autores: Camarena-Gomez,   Dena M.; Sanjuan,   Ana Isabel.
RESUMEN En este artículo se examinan las preferencias declaradas de los consumidores hacia las nueces, mediante un experimento de eleccion, con un doble objetivo: primero, identificar los atributos más relevantes para el consumidor a la hora de adquirir este fruto y, segundo, estimar las posibilidades de introducción de la variedad Pecán. De ello se pueden obtener guías sobre la manera de incentivar el consumo y recomendaciones a las empresas comercializadoras. Los datos se analizaron mediante la estimación de un modelo logit mixto o con parámetros aleatorios, que permite relajar la propiedad de IIA (independencia de alternativas irrelevantes) presente en los modelos logit con parámetros fijos, al permitir que el coeficiente de cada atributo/nivel varíe...

How Much are Consumers Paying for Organic Baby Food?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Smith,   Travis A.; Huang,   Chung L.; Lin,   Biing-Hwan.
Using retail purchase data, price premiums and discounts associated with household demographics, market factors, and product attributes (focusing on the organic attribute for strained baby food) are estimated using a hedonic pricing model. Results suggest that the organic premium ranges from about 12 to 49 percent in 2004 and from 30 to 52 percent in 2006.  Tests for significant changes relative to product attributes show that while the price of conventional baby food has stayed relatively the same, the premium for organic baby food has increased.

FMD focuses were found again in Brazil in 2004 and 2005, which caused embargo for Brazilian exports of pork meat. This paper investigates the volatility of prices received by pig producers after the FMD focus were found. Using a GARCH model, including a variable indicating FMD events, we cannot reject the hypothesis that the disease caused high pork price volatility. The conclusion is the FMD disease is related not only to losses due to embargoes but also to the increase of pork price volatility, which brings about instability to businesses and to pig producers income.

The Causality Between U.S.A. and Australian Wheat Prices
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Sniekers,   Peter; Wong,   Gordon.
It has been generally agreed that Australia is a price follower on the world wheat market. However, to date, this has not been tested empirically. In this paper a transfer function model between prices of U.S.A. wheat and Australian wheat is set up to examine the existence, if any, of a leader-follower relationship. By employing the causality criteria as described by Granger, this analysis is implemented to draw inferences about causality among these wheat prices. Results indicated that a significant leader-follower relationship exists, with the U.S.A. taking the leader role. The results reported are particularly useful for wheat price forecasting work and provide a basis for further modelling work.

A Review of the Arts of Supply Response Analysis
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Colman,   David R.
This paper classifies methods for estimating agricultural output supply responses to price into two broad categories (1) programming and (2) econometric. The latter category is further subdivided into two-stage procedures, directly estimated supply systems and directly estimated single commodity models. In Part 1 the theoretical basis of these methods is considered, while Part 2 explores their strengths, weaknesses and potentials from an empirical standpoint.

Domestic Supply and Consumption Patterns of Coarse Grains, Pulses, Roots and Tuber Crops in Asia and the Pacific
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Rural poor populations in Asia and the Pacific live mainly in disadvantaged areas, isolated, lacking infrastructure, with harsh climatic and ecological conditions. Coarse grains, pulses, roots and tubers (CGPRT crops) often offer one of the limited options for development under these circumstances. Information on the situation of these crops in national economies is limited and becomes a constraint in the design of pro-poor measures for this target group with an objective of poverty alleviation. This monograph presents and analyzes long-term trends and the evolution of CGPRT crops in ESCAP countries. Its comprehensive, yet detailed, coverage of crops and countries make it a reference for researchers, students and analysts involved with the development of...

SUPPLY RESPONSE IN THE AUSTRALIAN SHEEP INDUSTRY: A CASE FOR DISAGGREGATION AND DYNAMICS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Reynolds,   R.G.; Gardiner,   B.
Microeconomic capital goods theory was utilised to provide a theoretical framework on which a dynamic econometric model was based. Econometric procedures were then employed in an analysis of sheep producers' decision making regarding the annual supplies of wool, lamb and mutton, and annual changes in the inventory levels of sheep, lambs and ewes maintained for breeding purposes. Estimates show that wool prices provide the long-run stimulus for increases and decreases in the sheep flock while mutton and lamb prices are responsible for short-run changes in flock composition. Substitution between sheep and beef cattle is of considerable importance although no significant substitution between sheep and cropping could be found. Seasonal conditions proved to be...

U.S. Food and Nutrient Demand and the Effects of Agricultural Policies
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: LaFrance,   Jeffrey T.
An econometric model of annual per capita U.S. food and nutrition demand is developed. The model is a flexible, full rank two Gorman polar form. It is strictly aggregable across income, demographic variables, and variations in micro preference parameters. Parametric conditions for global quasi-concavity of the (quasi-)utility function are derived. The model is implemented with annual time series data on U.S. per capita food consumption for the sample period 1918-1994. A battery of new test statistics are developed for and applied to the following hypotheses: (1) strict exogeneity of income or total expenditures; (2) global symmetry and negative semidefiniteness of the Slutsky substitution matrix; (3) parameter stability in a multivariate, nonlinear...

Comparison of Hedging Cost with Other Variable Input Costs
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Riley,   John Michael; Anderson,   John D.
Recent spikes in commodity prices have led to higher margin amounts and option premiums. For the most part, producers have always attributed their lack of use in reducing risk via futures and options markets to the high cost associated with the use of these markets. This study determines the relative costs of hedging with futures and options and compares these with the costs of other variable inputs. We find that with the exception of hedging corn with both tools and soybeans with options the costs of hedging has only increased at roughly the same rate as all other inputs.

Autores: Mafuru,   January M.; Norman,   David W.; Fox,   J.S.
Many sorghum varieties have been developed by research institutes in an effort to address food security problems in the semi-arid areas of Tanzania. Although sorghum is better adapted to drier areas than maize, farmer adoption rates for sorghum varieties are always lower than that of maize. In addition, maize based food is more acceptable to urban consumers than sorghum based food. In this study consumer evaluated quality attributes of sorghum ugali based on different varieties in order to determine marketing potential relating to the different improved sorghum varieties. A total of 231 consumers, randomly selected from urban and rural areas participated in a food panel to evaluate ugali prepared from five sorghum varieties (three improved, two local)....

Estimating a Demand System with Seasonally Differenced Data
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Harri,   Ardian; Brorsen,   B. Wade; Muhammad,   Andrew; Anderson,   John D.
Several recent papers have used annual changes and monthly data to estimate demand systems. Such use of overlapping data introduces a moving average error term. This paper shows how to obtain consistent and asymptotically efficient estimates of a demand system using seasonally differenced data. Monte Carlo simulations and an empirical application to the estimation of the U.S. meat demand are used to compare the proposed estimator with alternative estimators. Once the correct estimator is used, there is no advantage to using overlapping data in estimating a demand system.

This study revisits the consistent aggregation (over households) property of almost ideal demand system (AIDS) models and presents a method to explicitly account for expenditure aggregation bias when estimating the aggregate AIDS model with time-series data. Ignoring aggregation bias can lead to biased and inconsistent parameter estimates and can cause aggregate demand functions to be inconsistent with the demand functions at the individual household level. Recognizing the general limited information contained in aggregate time-series data for explicitly modeling aggregation bias, we present a new method of constructing an aggregation bias term that is derived from the proportions of household in different income groups. This information is generally...

SYSTEM MISSPECIFICATION TESTING AND STRUCTURAL CHANGE IN THE DEMAND FOR MEATS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: McGuirk,   Anya M.; Driscoll,   Paul J.; Alwang,   Jeffrey Roger; Huang,   Huilin.
A misspecification testing strategy designed to ensure that the statistical assumptions underlying a system of equations are appropriate is outlined. The system tests take into account information in, and interactions between, all equations in the system and can be used in a wide variety of applications where systems of equations are estimated. The system testing approach is demonstrated by modeling U.S. consumer demand for meats. The example illustrates how the approach can be used to disentangle issues regarding structural change and other forms of model misspecification.

Autores: Muhammad,   Andrew; Fonsah,   Esendugue Greg; Zahniser,   Steven.
U.S. banana demand differentiated by country of origin is estimated using the generalized dynamic Rotterdam model.  Results indicate that dynamic factors play a significant role in determining the allocation of U.S. banana expenditures across exporting sources.  Of particular interest is Guatemala’s increased share and Costa Rica’s decreased share of U.S. banana supply.  A number of factors explained why Guatemala replaced Costa Rica as the leading U.S. supplier in 2007.  (1) Guatemala is the least expensive source on average.  (2) Habit persistence, adjustment costs, and other dynamic factors favor Guatemala’s exports.  (3) Given increases in the relative price of Costa Rica’s bananas, the price competition between Costa Rica and Guatemala is highly...

WATER RIGHTS HETEROGENEITY AND PRICE DETERMINATION: HOW MARKET AND PRODUCT ATTRIBUTES AFFECT AGRICULTURAL WATER MARKET PRICES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hadjigeorgalis,   Ereney.
This research aims to further the understanding of price behavior in predominantly agricultural water markets through a hedonic estimation of the impact of market and product attributes on water rights prices in the Cachapoal River Valley of South-Central Chile.  It is hypothesized that the price of a water right in the valley is primarily a function of the reliability of that water right (product attribute) and the increasing relative scarcity of water in the valley (market attribute).  This article aims to test the joint hypotheses that reliability and relatively scarcity positively affect water rights prices.  In addition, it will estimate the magnitude of these product and market attributes on market prices.

The main objective of this paper is to present the most relevant findings obtained from in depth interviews with processors and retailers about the N&amp;H claimed products market in Serbia. In our research we addressed the following set of topics: motivations and barriers to offer N&amp;H claimed products at domestic market and perception of consumer demand toward N&amp;H claimed products in Serbia. Significant differences between Serbia and other WBC are explored. Statistical testing includes nonparametric test based on two independent samples (Mann- Whitney test). Findings support overall conclusion that this market segment in Serbia is underdeveloped and rather producer than consumer driven.

Autores: Frigon,   Mathieu; Doyon,   Maurice; Romain,   Robert F.J.
A hybrid approach to estimate the asymmetric price transmission between the farm gate and the retail market is proposed. The model is estimated for the fluid milk market of the Northeast U.S., that of the metropolitan area of New York City as well as that of Upstate New York. Spatially disaggregated data allows the impact of regional dairy regulation on the farm-retail price spread to be assessed, as well as the behavior of the middlemen regarding price transmission on markets with different levels of retail concentration to be estimated. Results suggest that intermediaries transmit variations in milk farm price in an asymmetric way in the short-run; that governmental intervention might force middlemen to act competitively in terms of price transmission;...

Autores: Yen,   Steven T.; Huang,   Chung L.
Demands for beef products are investigated using the U.S. Department of Agriculture’'s 1987-88 Nationwide Food Consumption Survey data.  The censored translog demand system is estimated with full-information and simulated maximum-likelihood procedures.  These procedures represent different approaches to evaluation of multiple probability integrals in the likelihood function, but produce very similar parameter and elasticity estimates.  Findings suggest sociodemographic variables play important roles in the demand for beef, and that demand for different cuts of beef should be treated differently.

In this paper we measure the effect of year to year changes in the weather on wine prices and winery revenue in the Mosel Valley in Germany in order to determine the effect that climate change is likely to have on the income of wine growers. A novel aspect of our analysis is that we compare the estimates based on auction, retail, and wholesale prices. Although auction prices are based on actual transactions, they provide a thick market only for high quality, expensive wines and may overestimate climate’s effect on farmer revenues. Wholesale prices, on the other hand, do provide broad coverage of all wines sold and probably come closest to representing the revenues of farmers. Overall, we estimate a 1°C increase in temperature would yield an increase in...

Autores: Gunawardana,   P.J.; Kidane,   Habtom; Kulendran,   N.
A model of export supply response of the Australian citrus industry is developed and estimated using cointegration and error correction techniques and quarterly data for the period 1983 to 1993. The estimates suggest that, even in the long run, the supply of citrus exports is inelastic with respect to relative price. The results also show that the adjustment of export supply to changes in relative price is not instantaneous, the domestic production capacity has a significant positive impact on export supply, and export supply in the June quarter in each year is significantly lower than in other quarters.

This paper estimates a demand system for a selected tropical fresh fruit and vegetable imports in to the U.S. using a Linear Approximate Almost Ideal Demand Systems model for the period 1989-2008. Further the paper attempts to capture trade policy and seasonality effects that affect the demand for fresh fruit and vegetable imports. Results show that most of the price elasticities of demand have the expected signs and less than unity magnitude except for tomatoes. Complimentary commodities include bananas and papayas, grapes, and mangoes, peppers and tomatoes and avocados, and tomatoes and cucumber. Substitutes include pineapples and papayas, grapes and papayas, and mangoes and tomatoes. Trade policy and seasonality are also found to affect fresh fruit and...

The recent wide fluctuations in diesel fuel costs and subsequent trucking costs has raised speculation within the produce industry of potential structural shifts in the location of production.  Recent increases in demand for local produce seem to further support speculation toward this end.  A component pricing model is used to actually examine the impact of fuel prices on farm gate and retail produce prices for strawberries, lettuce, and potatoes.  The study finds that distribution costs, while significantly increasing in absolute value, have surprisingly little contribution to changes in retail prices even in markets distant to the primary production regions.  These results suggest that factors other than lower distribution costs for local produce will...

Autores: Chang,   Hui-Shung (Christie); Bettington,   Nicholas.
The objective of the study is to estimate demand for wine in Australia, based on both the systems approach and the single equation approach. Both approaches consider demand for three categories of alcoholic drinks (beer, wine and spirits) in a seemingly unrelated regression framework to take account of cross-equation correlations. Time series data on retail price indexes and apparent per capita consumption of alcoholic beverages for Australia for the period 1975/76 to 1998/99 are used for econometric estimation. The results show that over the short run, beer and wine are necessities; however, over the long run, wine becomes a luxury good. Beer and wine are complements. Demand for all three beverages is price inelastic. The study also found that the...

The Symposium was sponsored by: the International Agricultural Trade Research Consortium, the Venture Trust, Massey University, New Zealand, and the Centre for Applied Economics and Policy Studies, Massey University.  Dietary changes, especially in developing countries, are driving a massive increase in demand for livestock products.  The objective of this symposium was to examine the consequences of this phenomenon, which some have even called a "revolution." How are dietary patterns changing, and can increased demands for livestock products be satisfied from domestic resources? If so, at what cost?  What will be the flow-on...

CHINA'S RURAL HOUSEHOLD DEMAND FOR FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Han,   Tong; Wahl,   Thomas I.
A two-stage budgeting LES-LA/AIDS system is sued to estimate rural household demand in China with special emphasis on changes in demand for fruit and vegetable commodities across different income groups.  The own-price elasticity for food was found to be more elastic than that for clothing, housing, durable goods, and other items.  Within the food group, price elasticities range from -1.042 to -0.019.  Grain, with an expenditure elasticity of almost unity, is an important staple food for the average rural household.  Vegetables are important nonstaple foods relative to fruits.  Lower value vegetables are the most price elastic in the vegetable group.  Fruits are more price elastic than vegetables, with grapes being the most price elastic.  Different income...

Enhancing contributions of the informal sector to National development: The case of Uganda
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Muwonge,   Abdu; Obwona,   Marios; Nambwaayo,   Victoria.
Regardless of the definition of the informal sector, there is wide spread consensus that the sector is important to the developing world. The International Lab-our Organization estimated that in 1990, 21 percent of the Sub-Saharan Africa's 227 million labour force was working in the informal economy. As the informal sector continued to grow both in urban and rural areas, there was a decline or stagnation in the growth of formal employment. The informal sector's contribution to gross domestic product (GDP) is increasing, although not much is known in most countries because the sector hardly enters the official statistical records. This study analyzes Uganda's informal sector size, contribution, formal-informal sector linkages, causes, constraints and...

SUPPLY RESPONSE WITH STOCHASTIC TECHNOLOGY AND PRICES IN AUSTRALIA'S RURAL EXPORT INDUSTRIES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Easter,   Christopher D.; Paris,   Quirino.
Risky output prices and production characterise Australian agriculture. Exports are vitally important, sometimes relying heavily on a particular market. In this study a model is developed to include explicitly both output price and technological risks as well as multiple output relationships. It is used to show that changes in US beef import policy generating a 10 per cent beef price fall could reduce Australian beef supply by 3.5 per cent and grazing industry net revenue by 8.4 per cent, despite some switching from beef production to other enterprises.

Storage, Trade, and Price Policy Under Production Instability: Maize In Kenya
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Pinckney,   Thomas C.
Instability in the production of a staple food causes severe hardship for many countries. For a country that is self-sufficient in its staple food in a normal production year, the large swings in price and consumption that result from an exclusive and uninhibited reliance on trade to stabilize prices are unacceptable. Most countries, therefore, intervene in their domestic cereal markets and move supplies from surpluses to deficit years through storage or by subsidizing international trade. The appropriate method of intervention and the most efficient way to achieve supply stability thus became topics of study. For the most part, economist have encouraged governments to rely more on trade than on stocks to make up deficits on years of production shortfalls....

Interdependencies in the Energy-Bioenergy-Food Price Systems: A Cointegration Analysis
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ciaian,   Pavel; Kancs,   d'Artis.
The present paper examines a long-run relationship between the energy, bioenergy and food prices. In the recent years the bioenergy production has increased significantly around the world. The increase has been driven by rising energy prices as well as by environmental policies aiming at reducing the harmful effects of conventional sources of energy, such as climate change. Bioenergy, in turn, affects agricultural markets, because it uses agricultural commodities as inputs. The theoretical model we develop predicts that, because of price inelastic food demand, the agricultural price increase may be substantial. The empirical findings confirm the theoretical hypothesis that energy prices do affect prices of agricultural commodities. However, the...

A Food Demand System Based on Demand for Characteristics: If There is " Curvature" in the Slutsky Matrix, What Do the Curves Look Like and Why?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bouis,   Howarth E.
A food demand system is proposed, based on demand for energy, variety, and tastes of foods. By specifying utility as an explicit function of these characteristics, the entire matrix of demand elasticities can be derived for n foods and one nonfood from prior specification of just four elasticities, while avoiding any assumption of separability between foods. This framework can explain why poorest groups often are most price-responsive, but also can account for highest price-responsiveness by middle income groups. The system is applied to published food consumption data for urban and rural populations in Pakistan. Elasticities are compared with those obtained in a published Pakistan study applying an almost ideal demand system (AIDS).

Guaranteed Minimum Price Contracts for Some, an Insurance for Others?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chambolle,   Claire; Poret,   Sylvaine.
This paper analyzes the impact of guaranteed minimum price contracts between sub-groups of farmers and a fair trade manufacturer on the spot market price. We focus on the fair trade concept in the coffee supply chain as an example. We analyze a three level vertical chain gathering perfectly competitive farmers upstream who offer their raw product to manufacturers who then sell finished products to a downstream retailer. Without fair trade, all the raw product is sold on the spot market. When a sub-group of farmers benefit from a guaranteed minimum price contract offered by a fair trade certifier, we show that farmers outside of this fair trade agreement may also benefit from a higher spot market price in cases of a limited overproduction.

Autores: Choi,   Hee Jung; Wohlgenant,   Michael K.; Zheng,   Xiaoyong.
This study analyzes the factors that determine the demand for milk products and the consumer benefits from organic milk introduction. Estimating a structural model, the welfare effect is decomposed into two parts: the effect of having an additional product and the effect from the price changes in existing products due to the enhanced competition. In order to take heterogeneous tastes for different product characteristics into account, the unit of analysis is defined at the Universal Product Code (UPC) level and the demand is estimated for each household.  The estimates from mixed logit demand approach indicate that households with younger head, higher income or higher education value more for the organic attribute.  The distribution of estimated variety...

The Role of Theoretical Restrictions in Price Forecasting with Inverse Demand Models
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Klaiber,   H. Allen; Holt,   Matthew T.
In recent years the theoretical restrictions of consumer demand have been examined in post sample forecasting exercises. However, this work has uniformly ignored the concavity restrictions of consumer demand. In this paper we evaluate a series of Normalized Quadratic Inverse Demand System (NQIDS) specifications using rolling windows and generating one-- to four--step ahead forecasts. To estimate the models, eleven categories of South Atlantic fish are used from 1980 through 2001. In addition to the NQIDS, we also examine the forecasting performance of a purely time series model. We find that the best predictions are achieved using a composite forecast.

DEMAND INTERACTION BETWEEN FARMED SALMON AND WILD CAUGHT FISH IN THE UNITED KINGDOM
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fofana,   Abdulai; Clayton,   Patty.
Demand relationships between salmon and a number of wild-caught whitefish and shellfish species using both single equation models and linearised AIDS system framework. The system is well represented although autocorrelation were found in both approaches but this is less of a problem in the systems approach. A cautious interpretation of the results indicated that salmon had a long-run market relationship with the whitefish species of cod, monkfish, saithe, whiting and plaice and with the shellfish species of mussels, nephrops, scallops and shrimp. These groups contain the main seafood species consumed within the United Kingdom, and therefore should include most potential substitutes for salmon.

Collective actions groups have many advantages and are sometimes essential, yet they can reinforce or perpetuate inter-and intra-gender inequalities when their functioning is left entirely subject to internal community dynamics and they are not well managed. This is well illustrated by the case of Koussin-Lélé rice scheme in the central Benin. This paper apply inequality indices and frontier production function to data from a sample of male and women rice farmers to analyze the gender inequalities in access to land and the governance of the groups, and their gender-differentiated impacts on farmers' productivity, technical efficiency and income. The results show that women are particularly discriminated against with regards to access to land, with...

Analysis of Marketing Margins under Food Recalls and BSE Outbreaks in the U.S. Beef  Industry
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dhoubhadel,   Sunil P.; Castillo,   Sergio C.; Capps,   Oral, Jr.
It is generally observed that whenever there are cases of disease outbreaks or food recalls, there is a concomitant decline in commodity prices.  However, it is still not clear what happens to price spreads among affected agents in the marketing chain.  To shed light on this issue, we estimate the collective impact of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) and food recalls on marketing margins associated with the U.S. beef industry over time.  In previous research, the effects of these variables on the market demand of meat were estimated separately.  By including these variables together in the same model specification we avoid the possibility of confounding their effects, and we are in position to obtain more precise estimates of elasticities of price...

The Importance of Apple attributes: A Comparison of Self-explicated and Conjoint Analysis Results
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Markovina,   Jerko; Kovacic,   Damir.
the goal of this article was to determine the importance of apple attributes using two research techniques – self-explicated procedure and conjoint analysis. Research was conducted on a sample of 426 consumers of apples in Zagreb, Croatia. The results of self-explicated and conjoint analysis procedures revealed differences in ranking of apple attributes regarding their importance. It is demonstrated that conjoint analysis gives more detailed results and that it is not influenced by respondents’ tendency to give socially acceptable answers. The results of conjoint analysis also give more information for the producers of apples who can use them to create a product that matches consumers’ wishes.

This paper explores the relationship between state level environmental regulations and stocking and location decisions in the U.S livestock and poultry industry (beef, chicken, dairy and hogs). Rather than conduct this analysis on a species-by-species basis, we choose to focus upon the overall size of the livestock industry (expressed in animal units) and the size of industry found on large, medium and small operations by state (48) and over time (28 yrs). Results indicate that industry may drive policy rather than the converse. However, since we also find that existing policy rules have differential impacts on the industry by operation size, we conclude that structural change in the industry may be driven in part by size or legal structure discriminating...

Simultaneous equation techniques are used to re-examine the behaviour of monthly wholesale and retail price spreads for beef, lamb and pork in Sydney over the period 1971-1988, so as to understand the factors determining the relationships between the prices at the different market levels. Hypotheses tested relate to price levelling and price averaging, and to marketing cost and turnover effects. Using the preferred three-stage least squares estimates, price levelling is confirmed at both wholesale and retail for all meats, however contrary to earlier results there is no evidence of price averaging in any of the meats. Costs are only important determinants for beef at wholesale and lamb at retail, and only the beef and lamb wholesale spreads and the lamb...

Autores: Beghin,   John C.; Bureau,   Jean-Christophe; Drogue,   Sophie.
We introduce an easily implemented and flexible calibration technique for partial demand systems, combining recent developments in incomplete demand systems and a set of restrictions conditioned on the available elasticity estimates. The technique accommodates various degrees of knowledge on cross-price elasticities, satisfies curvature restrictions, and allows the recovery of an exact welfare measure for policy analysis. The technique is illustrated with a partial demand system for food consumption in Korea for different states of knowledge on cross-price effects. The consumer welfare impact of food and agricultural trade liberalization is measured.

Autores: Hwang,   Yun Jae; Roe,   Brian E.; Teisl,   Mario F.
We add to the limited empirical literature on consumers' use of price as a quality signal by testing if the traditional downward-sloping consumption-price relationship fails to hold for GM products using data collected from a nationally representative mail survey featuring several hypothetical product choice scenarios. Statistical evidence is mixed across the three products investigated but suggests that survey respondents use price as a signal of the quality of GM products. Implications for firm strategy are discussed.

Autores: Scherping,   Daniel J.; Wilson,   William W.
Buyers of grain use premiums and discounts to convey to suppliers the value of quality characteristics. Premiums and discounts are determined by supply and demand for those quality characteristics. This report, the eighth in a series, contains the results of a 1991 survey of pricing and marketing practices used by North Dakota country elevators for durum and hard red spring (HRS) wheat. Results for HRS wheat show that the protein level increased to the highs of 1988 and 1989 and that the premium for 16 percent protein and the discount for 12 percent protein decreased from the previous year. Discounts continued the downward trend of recent years.

INSURANCE MILK

Autores: Alston,   Julian M.; Quilkey,   John J.
Where the production of milk for sale on the fresh milk market at 'controlled' prices is subject to nontransferable quotas the holders of quota who wish to maximise profits have a motive to maintain production above the quota level to insure against variations in demand for over-quota sales and yield. The concept of 'production of milk as insurance' is used to clarify the way in which such behaviour gives rise to social costs which could be avoided in a competitive market, by a permissive attitude to arbitrage, or where quotas can be traded.

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.

CHOICE AND TEMPORAL WELFARE IMPACTS: DYNAMIC GEV DISCRETE CHOICE MODELS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Swait,   Joffre; Adamowicz,   Wiktor L.; van Bueren,   Martin.
Welfare economics is often employed to measure the impact of economic policies or externalities. When demand is characterized by discrete choices, static models of consumer demand are employed for this type of analysis because of the difficulty in estimating dynamic discrete choice models. In this paper we provide a tractable approach to estimating dynamic discrete choice models of the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) family that addresses many of the problems identified in the literature and provides a rich set of parameters describing dynamic choice. We apply this model to the case of recreational fishing site choice, comparing dynamic to static versions. In natural resource damage assessment cases, static discrete choice models of recreational site...

Impact of United States Corn-Based Ethanol Production on Land Use
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Sobowale,   Flakkeh; Dicks,   Michael R.; Adam,   Brian D.; Campiche,   Jody L.
This study measures the impact of corn-based ethanol production in the United States on land use in other countries, or indirect land use. Indirect land use is a change from non-cropland to cropland (e.g. deforestation) that may occur in response to increasing scarcity of cropland. As farmers worldwide respond to higher crop prices in order to maintain the global food supply and demand balance, pristine lands are cleared and converted to new cropland to replace the crops for feed and food that were diverted elsewhere to biofuel production.   The results show that increasing ethanol production in the US has a positive and significant relation to U.S corn price. However, U.S. corn price does not have a significant impact on changes in corn acreage in Brazil...

Autores: Christensen,   Tove; Pedersen,   Anders Branth; Nielsen,   Helle Orstead; Morkbak,   Morten Raun; Hasler,   Berit; Denver,   Sigrid.
Danish farmers have been far less interested in agri-environmental subsidy schemes than anticipated. We use choice experiments to estimate 486 Danish farmers’ preferences for a number of policy relevant scheme-characteristics. Subsidy schemes for pesticide free buffer zones along hedgerows are used as a case and analysed using a random parameter logit framework. By quantifying farmers’ preferences in monetary values, we are able to assess the relative importance of individual scheme-characteristics. Farmer’s assessments of the administrative burden are captured by estimating how they value free-of-charge assistance for the application procedure. To our knowledge, this measure of administrative burden has not been tested before. Our results indicate that...

Allowing for Group Effects When Estimating Import Demand for Source and Product Differentiated Goods
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Muhammad,   Andrew.
In this study an import demand model (differential production model) is presented that is used in estimating the demand for source and product differentiated goods simultaneously. Unlike the traditional import demand models, this model can account for changes in relative group expenditures. Expenditure estimates differed when comparing the differential production model and Rotterdam model results. Results showed that if group revenue shares are relatively fixed, then the bias in expenditure estimates due to omitting group effects will be small when using traditional demand models such as the AIDS or Rotterdam models. As relative group shares significantly change and diverge the bias increases, particularly for imports representing a larger share of group...

Autores: Hogan,   Robert J., Jr.; Carlberg,   Jared G.; Ward,   Clement E.; Peel,   Derrell S.
Prices for Choice and Select grade fed cattle are derived from wholesale and retail beef markets. Choice-Select price discounts are a key component of fed cattle pricing, whether packers purchase fed cattle on a live weight, dressed weight, or grid. This study identifies supply, demand, and other factors affecting the Choice-Select discount series using an adaptive expectations model. It is found that the lagged value of the discount as well as the percentage grading Choice exert statistically significant influences on the discount, while neither the boxed beef price nor seasonality affect the discount.

The health implications and costs associated with increasing levels of obesity are a widespread global issue. In the United States, there is a growing interest in identifying methods to reduce obesity levels. Particular focus has been given to advertisements for unhealthy foods, especially advertisements directed at young children as a number of studies conclude that advertising influences the perceptions, requests and short-term consumption behavior of young children. Recently, several of the largest global food producers began voluntary selfregulation of their advertisements to children under the age of 12. The group of participants includes the two largest carbonated soft drink (CSD) manufacturers. We estimate the demand for CSDs in the US over 15...

DYNAMICS AND PRICE VOLATILITY IN FARM-RETAIL LIVESTOCK PRICE RELATIONSHIPS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kesavan,   T.; Aradhyula,   Satheesh V.; Johnson,   Stanley R.
This study uses an error correction model (ECM) to investigate dynamics in farm-retail price relationships. The ECM is a more general method of incorporating dynamics and the long-run, steady-state relationships between farm and retail prices than has been used to data. Monthly data for beef and pork are used to test the time-series properties for the ECM specification. The model is extended to study price volatility through the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) process. Accommodation of the GARCH process provides a useful way of analyzing both mean and variance effects of policy or market structure changes.

Autores: Koksal,   Aycan; Wohlgenant,   Michael K.
In this paper, using pseudo panel data we analyze the relation between cigarette and alcoholic beverage consumption within the rational addiction framework. We believe that pseudo panel data approach has many advantages compared to aggregate and panel data models. We found that alcoholic beverages are complements for cigarettes, while it is not the same the other way around. Moreover, we found that alcohol is a gateway for cigarette which further supports our conclusion concerning the reinforcing effect of alcohol consumption on cigarette consumption. We believe that drinking works as a trigger for smoking especially in social settings like bars while it is also possible (although less likely) that people who want to cut cigarette consumption might...

Consumer demand analysis attracts considerable attention. It remains an open question, however, whether estimating demand with aggregate data is reliable when disaggregate store-level data is given. Demand models may produce biased results when applied to data aggregated across stores with different pricing strategies. In this study, the graphical model is used to investigate the following question: Do we find the same structure when we fit causal models on sub-groupings of stores, as we find when we fit models on aggregate data from all stores?

Autores: Stiegert,   Kyle W.; Blanc,   Jean-Pierre.
Ladd and Martin's hedonic pricing model is extended to include the interactive effect of noncontracted characteristics on the value of contracted characteristics. Marginal values of wheat protein in the Japanese import market are estimated using the interactive effects of noncontracted dough/flour characteristics typically proxied by protein. Protein value is linked positively to farinograph stability, a prime factor in blending different flours. Three high protein wheats maintained about the same marginal value of protein. The marginal value for the two low protein wheats appear more end-use dependant. They varied in a $2.00/ton range depending on protein absorption, stability, and extensibility.

In this paper we review the existing empirical literature on price asymmetries in commodities, providing a way to classify and compare different studies which are highly heterogeneous in terms of econometric models, type of asymmetries and empirical findings. Relative to the previous literature, this paper is novel in several respects. First, it presents a detailed and updated survey of the existing empirical contributions on the existence of price asymmetries in the transmission mechanism linking input prices to output prices. Second, this paper presents an extension of the traditional distinction between long-run and short-run asymmetries to new categories of asymmetries, such as: contemporaneous impact, distributed lag effect, cumulated impact, reaction...

The ability of the former voluntary price reporting system to generate market transparency in U.S. livestock markets was called into question by producer groups and academic research prior to the new federal system of mandatory price reporting being implemented.  The market transparency issue is investigated by comparing price data collected from the former AMS voluntary price reporting systems to mandatory price reporting data for live slaughter steers collected by the State of South Dakota before the advent of the new federal system.  The relationship between a set of public price report series and the South Dakota mandatory price series is analyzed using cointegration techniques.

ECONOMICS OF PRODUCING FOR AN IDENTITY-PRESERVED (IP) GRAIN MARKET
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gustafson,   Cole R.
Demand for identity-preserved (IP) crops produced by Northern Plains farmers is increasing.  Buyers are willing to pay a premium for grains that can be guaranteed to possess a unique characteristic.  Several general crop management practices apply to crops raised for IP.  These include greater investment in segregated storage facilities, more meticulous production, isolation, added cleaning/sorting, documentation, greater testing, additional marketing, and risks of liability.  To illustrate, the economics of producing certified seed for sale to other farmers is used as an example of IP grain production.  Many of the concepts and specific practices of certified seed production are applicable to most IP crops raised.

EVALUATING THE ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF REGIONAL MILK PRICING AUTHORITIES: THE CASE OF DAIRY COMPACTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bailey,   Kenneth W.
Congress consented to the creation of the Northeast Interstate Dairy Compact in the 1996 Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act. Interest is now growing in expanding this compact and creating new multi-regional dairy compacts. Dairy compacts provide a floor for Class I fluid prices and thus stabilize and enhance farm milk prices in compact regions. This analysis indicates that multi-regional dairy compacts will result in clear economic tradeoffs between dairy farmers, processors, retailers, and consumers. While dairy farmers within the compact region may economically benefit from higher farm milk prices, processors, retailers and consumers in the compact region and dairy farmers outside the compact region will face economic losses.

World Economic Crises in Times of Environmental Scarcity and Wealth Concentration
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lopez,   Ramon E.
Three new structural factors underlie the latest great world crisis: (1) the incorporation of highly populated countries into the growth process; (2) The increasing scarcity of the environment and certain natural resources; (3) the dramatic concentration of wealth and income in the advanced economies over the last two decades. These structural changes have significantly tightened the links between world growth and commodity demand, made the world commodity supply increasingly inelastic, and rendered economic growth more dependent on lax monetary and financial policies, respectively. All this may make the world economy highly vulnerable to crises and may make the recovery from the current crisis more difficult.

Guangzhou buyers' preference for premium Hawaiian grown product gift baskets with conjoint analysis was examined. Relative importance of three gift basket attributes: container type, products origin, and price were examined. Expenditure equivalent index to evaluate how much more each of the gift basket attributes is worth to the buyer was estimated. Main conclusions are: products have to be 'made in Hawaii' to receive the premium price; business buyers are generally less willing to pay a high price; and individual buyers are more willing to pay the higher priced Koa gift basket.

Research suggests that in the short run, the  production, distribution, and consumption of  ethanol will create about 20 percent fewer  greenhouse-gas emissions than the equivalent  processes for gasoline. In the long run, the result is less clear. If increases in the production of ethanol led to a large amount of forests or grasslands being converted into new cropland, those changes in land use could more than offset any reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions. This presentation will discuss both of these issues in the context of current economic and market conditions with an eye toward future impacts of alternative fuels.

This paper introduces a simple method of price risk decomposition that determines the extent to which producer price risk is attributable to volatile inter-market margins, intra-day variation, intra-week (day of week) variation, or terminal market price variability. We apply the method to livestock markets in northern Kenya, a setting of dramatic price volatility where price stabilization is a live policy issue. In this particular application, we find that large, variable inter-market basis is the most important factor in explaining producer price risk in animals typically traded between markets.  Local market conditions explain most price risk in other markets, in which traded animals rarely exit the region.  Variability in terminal market prices accounts...

The appropriate specification of expectations in empirical models of supply response or factor demand is discussed.  A general model that admits both extrapolative and rational expectations is formulated and analyzed.  The model is used to investigate the decision making process of cattle feeders by incorporating information on futures prices (as representations of rational forecasts) and lagged prices.  The findings provide some evidence that cattle feeders form their expectations of future prices using both types of information.

Autores: Stoeppel,   Kelly M.; Maynard,   Leigh J.
Thoroughbred broodmares are the foundation of a successful racing operation. This study estimated the impact of breeding, racing, genetic, and market characteristics on broodmare auction prices. Data represent 298 broodmares in foal that were sold in Keeneland's 2005 sale. Prices were most responsive to the sire's stud fee and the broodmare's age, with pronounced day-of-sale effects. Overall valuation structure appeared similar to Neibergs' results using the 1996 data. Out-of-sample forecasts were far superior to naive forecasts, but were not accurate enough to use in isolation from other decision aids such as visual inspection of the horse.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Agbola,   Frank W.; Kelley,   Timothy G.; Bent,   Martin J.M.; Rao,   P. Parthasarathy.
During the past decade the Indian chickpea industry underwent a dramatic structural shift following the implementation of market-oriented policies by the Government of India.  This paper examines consumer attitudes to quality characteristics of chickpea in India.  A linear hedonic price model is estimated using auction price and quality data of chickpea samples obtained from major markets in India.  Empirical results indicate that specific physical quality characteristics and purity standards are important factors influencing the price of chickpea in India.  Thus, there may be an incentive for domestic producers and sellers of chickpea – and exporting countries – to improve the quality of their product, if improvements in specific physical characteristics...

Andalusian Demand for Non-Market Goods from Mountain Olive Groves
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Arriaza Balmón,   Manuel; Gomez-Limon,   Jose Antonio; Kallas,   Zein; Nekhay,   Olexandr.
Agricultural multifunctionality is the recognition of the joint exercise of economic, environmental and social functions by this sector. In order to make this concept operative for the design of public policies, it is necessary to estimate the social demand for such functions. The main objective of this article is to present an empirical application in this line. For this purpose we have taken the agricultural system of mountain olive groves in Andalusia (Southern Spain) at risk of abandonment after the decoupling of the EU subsidies as a case study. The economic valuation technique used is the Choice Experiment. According to the results, there is a different contribution of each attribute to the improvement of the Society level of utility. The main...

The Long-Run Impact of Energy Prices on World Agricultural Markets: The Role of Macro-Economic Linkages
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chantret,   Francois; Gohin,   Alexandre.
The world prices of food and energy products have followed similar large swings in recent years.  We investigate the long run relationship between these prices using a world Computable General Equilibrium model with detailed representations of food and energy markets.  Particular attention is paid to specify macro-economic linkages which have often been overlooked in recent analysis and debate.  We find that the omission of these macro-economic linkages has a substantial bearing on this relationship.  A positive relationship due to the cost push effect has been identified in most analysis, but we find that the introduction of the real income effect may indeed imply a negative relationship between world food and energy prices.  Accordingly, it is crucial to...

Demand for Milk
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Street,   J.A.
The consumer demand for fresh wholemilk in the Sydney region is analysed by single equation regressions of time series data. The explanatory variables of the regressions are income, milk price, advertising, seasonal dummies, age distribution of the population, consumption of substitutes and complements, and a dummy variable for strikes and flood interference with distribution. These variables are regressed on consumption per head using either weekly or quarterly data.  The weekly model was estimated with allowance for auto correlated disturbances and the quarterly model was estimated using Almon polynomials to represent lag distributions of "real and/or money" variables. Results indicate that consumption is best explained by a relatively small set of...

EFFICIENT ESTIMATION OF HEDONIC INVERSE INPUT DEMAND SYSTEMS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kristofersson,   Dadi; Rickertsen,   Kyrre.
The paper is concerned with efficient estimation of characteristics demand. We derive and estimate an inverse input demand system for quality characteristics by using 172,946 observations over 881 trading days in the Icelandic fish auctions. An improved estimation method based on an expanded random coefficient model is suggested as an alternative to the currently used two-stage method of Brown and Rosen (1982). The estimates demonstrate the improved efficiency of the suggested method. A number of empirical results emerge, including a general increase in the demand for quality.

A Note on Price Levelling and Price Averaging in Sydney Retail Vegetable Price Spreads
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Griffith,   Garry R.; Jamandre,   W.E.; Piggott,   Roley R.
For tomatoes, potatoes, carrots and onions in the Sydney market, the degree of variability of the retail price is substantially lower than the degree of variability of the wholesale price. The objective here is to investigate whether fresh vegetable retailers in the Sydney market practice price levelling and price averaging. 2SLS and 3SLS procedures were used to estimate a system of price spread equations for the four vegetables using quarterly data from 1980 to 1990. In the preferred 3SLS estimates price levelling was confirmed for potatoes and carrots. Price levelling was not evident in the tomatoes and onions equations, with price transmission influenced more by markup pricing policies for these vegetables. No evidence of price-averaging behaviour was...

Semiparametric Estimation of Consumer Demand Systems with Micro Data
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Sam,   Abdoul G.; Zheng,   Yi.
This article proposes a semiparametric two-step procedure for estimating a censored consumer demand system with micro data. The semiparametric estimator considered in the first step is suggested by Klein and Spady (1993). This estimator, used as a counterpart of the probit estimator in a conventional two-step model, does not make any distributional assumptions about the disturbances and so is exempt from model misspecification and plausible heteroscedasticity. In the second step, we motivate the choice of the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) as an economic representation of consumers' demand behavior. Implementing our proposed semiparametric two-step procedure as well as Shonkwiler and Yen (1999)'s two-step model to a household meat consumption dataset...

FORECASTING AGRICULTURAL COMMODITY PRICES WITH LIMITED DATA SETS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jacque,   Andrew Eliel.
Many developing countries wish to, but do not publish forecasts of commodity prices.  One difficulty often cited is the length (shortness) of the data series.  This study tried to determine whether this was a valid reason.  Price data for two commodities in a specific country, where the problem is acknowledged were utilized in a case study approach.  Existing models were evaluated for applicability to the data series.  The identified models were estimated with estimation data and then while keeping the model parameters constant, prices were forecasted in the out-of-sample period. The error associated with the forecast of each model was calculated and the relationship between quantity of data and model accuracy evaluated.  The error values of all the models...

OVER-ORDER PREMIUMS AND PRICE WARS IN THE MICHIGAN MILK MARKET
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Banderob,   Duane A.; Wolf,   Christopher A.
We examine behavior in the Michigan fluid milk market.  Over-order premiums exist because fluid milk demands are inelastic. Collusion by cooperatives is required to realize these profits.  In absence of collusion, the minimum prices defined by federal milk marketing orders prevails as excess fluid milk is always present.  Proprietary firms in Michigan joined the fluid milk cartel because of the threat of a state marketing order. Proprietary firms profits may be increased and information gathered in the short run through price wars that result when behavior deviates from collusion.

Economics and agricultural market impacts of growing biofuel production
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: von Lampe,   Martin.
This paper analyses the economics of biofuel production and the implications that the accelerating growth in biofuel production in many countries could have on agricultural markets. It shows that production costs of ethanol and biodiesel differ significantly across countries and feedstock crops. These costs often exceed those of fossil fuels. In consequence, the economics of biofuel production depends on public support in most countries. Similarly, land requirements for crops required to enable significant shares of biofuel production in transport fuel consumption are shown to be substantial in many countries given current technologies. An expected growth in biofuel production is, therefore, likely to have a significant increasing impact on world prices...

The patterns of retail price variation. The case of milk products
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ferto,   Imre; Bakucs,   Lajos Zoltan.
We examine retail price variation across a range of milk products in Hungary. Our results show that majority of products have regular prices and the most deviations from that regular price are upward. We find significant differences across products in terms of price distributions. Sales are infrequent for majority of products and its role is limited in annual price variation. Results do not confirm that durable goods should have qualitatively different pricing pattern than less-durable goods. Although existing models of retail sales yield predictions consistent with some aspects of the retail pricing distributions, all of these models fail to explain other important aspects of retail pricing identified here.

Health Claims Regulation and Welfare
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Huang,   Rui; Bonanno,   Alessandro.
Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, 20 December 2006, requires functional foods manufacturers operating in Europe to provide evidence that the health claims reported on the packaging are truthful.  However, most applications reviewed by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have been rejected, leaving food manufacturers with the option of either selling products deprived of their claims or discontinuing their production.  This paper analyzes changes in welfare (both producers’ and consumers’) that would occur if the implementation of Reg. (EC) No 1924/2006 resulted in a large-scale health-claim de-labeling of functional food products.  To that end, we use one year (2007) of monthly scanner data of sales of conventional and functional yogurt in the Italian...

Dynamic Informative Advertising of New Experience Goods
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Saak,   Alexander E.
This paper analyzes the optimal advertising and price policies of a monopolist who sells a new experience good over time to a population of heterogeneous forward-looking buyers.  We consider informative advertising that can complement or substitute for learning-by-purchasing, and show that the advertising intensity always peaks during the early stages when the price extracts surplus from the buyers who are yet to learn their valuation for the good.  We also show that even though informative advertising may temporarily raise prices and slow down the learning process, an advertising ban can reduce welfare.

The regional demand for feed grains is not directly observable. This study uses a programming model to derive a demand schedule for feed barley. The model is applied to a major barley producing region (North Dakota and Minnesota) and an important feed deficit region (California). Direct and cross-price elasticities are evaluated, and sensitivity analysis shows the potential impact of improved barley varieties on regional demand.

IMPACTS OF THE NORTHEAST INTERSTATE DAIRY COMPACT ON NEW ENGLAND MILK SUPPLY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Nicholson,   Charles F.; Resosudarmo,   Budy P.; Wackernagel,   Rick.
A two-equation random coefficients model and two estimates of milk prices in the absence of the Northeast Interstate Dairy Compact (Compact) are used to estimate the impact of minimum price regulation for fluid milk products on milk production in the New England states.  Estimated responses to price enhancement differed by state for cow numbers, but parameters for milk per cow were not significantly different among states.  The amount of increase in milk production attributed to the Compact is estimated at 45 million pounds (about 1% of production) during the first year of minimum price regulation, primarily due to increased milk per cow.

Outlook for U.S. Retail Food Prices and Inflation in 2010 (PowerPoint)
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Leibtag,   Ephraim S.
As food and energy commodity prices surged in late 2007 and most of 2008, there was a renewed interest in updated estimates of the impact of these increases on retail food prices. The drop in commodity prices (September 2008- March 2009) leads to the same set of questions in the opposite direction. This presentation uses regression analysis to estimate how much of the change in commodity costs is passed through to retail prices and, just as important, estimate the time lag between commodity price changes and retail price changes across a number of food groups. The presenter will then focus on the outlook for food prices in 2010 given the results of the analysis described above.

An empirical investigation of the demand for bananas in Germany
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Burrell,   Alison M.; Henningsen,   Arne.
We use econometric methods to investigate consumer demand for bananas and for other fruit in Germany. Monthly household survey data for the period 1986-1998 are analysed. Demand for bananas is significantly responsive to own price, suggesting that policy-induced price increases generate the usual dead-weight losses. Demand is also responsive to income changes, indicating that there is scope for further market expansion as incomes grow. There is evidence that other categories of fruit are both gross and net substitutes for bananas.

A choice experiment of Mid-Atlantic consumers was conducted to determine marginal willingness to pay for the attributes organic, natural, locally grown, and state marketing program promoted for strawberry preserves. The influence of purchasing venue on willingness to pay was also examined. Results indicated a price premium when purchased at a farmers market across all five states and versions. Organic was preferred to natural in only one state. Preference ordering between local and state program promoted varied. Consumers in Maryland and Pennsylvania clearly preferred local, while those in New Jersey seemed most likely to prefer the state program version.

This paper assesses the independent and joint impacts of oligopoly power of market intermediaries and the Northeast Dairy Compact (NEDC) on fluid milk prices in Boston.  Empirical results reveal that price increases due to oligopoly power far outweighed those caused by the NEDC by more than 10 times. In fact, markups are estimated at approximately 33% of the retail milk price, translating into approximately $1/gallon overcharge at 2002 milk prices averaging around $3/gallon.

This study focused on the transmission of price adjustments between grower/shippers and wholesalers and between wholesale handlers and retailers of nine fresh vegetables (only the results associated with bell peppers are reported in this paper).  Results among the nine vegetable products were not consistent with respect to the magnitude of adjustments or the time periods involved in the adjustments.  In response to wholesale price changes, upward price adjustments at the retail level occur more quickly than do downward price adjustments.  Price transmission relationships also varied among the vegetable products between the wholesaler and grower.  Overall, the results indicate that factors in addition to changes in upstream prices are impacting retailers'...

Why Don't Country Elevators Pay Less for Low Quality Wheat? Information, Producer Preferences and Prospect Theory
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Adam,   Brian D.; Hong,   Seung Jee.
Previous research found that country elevators that are the first in their area to grade wheat and pay quality-adjusted prices would receive above-normal profits at the expense of their competitors. Because of spatial monopsony, these early-adopting elevators would pass on to producers only 70% of the quality-based price differentials received from next-in-line buyers. If competing elevators also adopted these practices, profits for all elevators would return to near normal, and elevators would pass on to producers nearly all price differentials received from next-in-line buyers. However, that research could not explain why more elevators were not becoming "early adopters" by paying quality-adjusted prices. More recent research found that producers' risk...

Assessment of the Impact of Avian Influenza Related Regulatory Policies on Poultry Meat Trade and Welfare
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Wieck,   Christine; Schlueter,   Simon W.; Britz,   Wolfgang.
We use two methodological approaches to analyze avian influenza related quarantine measures. First, a Heckman type gravity model is used to estimate the trade impact and second, a spatial partial equilibrium simulation model is developed to simulate welfare changes. The simulation model considers spread and transmission risk according to the disease status of the importing country as well as parameter uncertainty of the calibrated coefficients by using a Monte Carlo approach. The econometric results show that the principle of regionalization is preferred to import trade bans for uncooked meat. The simulation results verify the negative welfare impact of currently implemented regulatory policies and indicate that significant trade diversion effects...

Optimal control models of aggregate milk supply and demand behavior are used to describe the optimal phasing of the deregulatory dairy price support in the presence of supply growth.  Producers are assumed to face costs of adjustment, and are myopic with respect to price expectations and the adoption of the new quasi-fixed factor augmenting technology.

Among consumers there is an increasing interest and concern about the ways food is produced. This calls for the poultry industry to differentiate their products and production methods to directions valued by the consumers. In this study we use choice experiment to analyse the importance of broiler production method and the country of origin for the Finnish consumers. In the experiment, we offer several alternatives for regular broiler, including products that have been produced using organic methods, as well as products produced by emphasising animal welfare or consumer health aspects. The conditional logit model of consumer preferences for broiler meat in Finland revealed the very strong positive perceptions of domestically produced broiler products....

Impacts of Export Controls On Wheat Markets During the Food Crisis 2007/2008 in Russia and Ukraine
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Goetz,   Linde; Glauben,   Thomas; Brümmer,   Bernhard.
This paper investigates the impacts of export controls in Russia and Ukraine on wheat world market price transmission during the 2007/2008 global food crisis. Russia and Ukraine aimed to reduce wheat exports induced by extraordinarily high world market prices to secure sufficient wheat supply on the domestic markets. Utilizing a Markov-Switching vector error correction model (MSVECM), we find that the temporary export restrictions induced negative effects on wheat markets in Russia and Ukraine. Although instability increased on the world markets itself, we have shown that the increase in the market instability was particularly pronounced in Russia and Ukraine. Also, the export restrictions dampened price transmission to the farmers’ prices, which pushed...

An Analysis of Latin American Peanut Trade
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lee,   Dae-Seob; Kennedy,   P. Lynn; Fletcher,   Stanley M.
The U.S. export share in the world peanut market has decreased due to heavy competition.  In this paper, the Latin American peanut industry is modeled using seemingly unrelated regression (SUR).  Based on these estimations, a scenario analysis was conducted.  The results show that the Latin American demand is not affected dramatically by either domestic of world price shocks.  The effects of price changes on net trade are noticeable.  However, the world price does not significantly affect the Latin American peanut supply.  The results imply that Latin American peanut farmers are more sensitive to changes in domestic prices than world price changes.

Autores: Lin,   Ni; Davis,   George C.; Shumway,   C. Richard.
The generalized composite commodity theorem (Lewbel 1996) is used to test for consistent aggregation of U.S. and Mexican agricultural production data in each of the categories for which earlier tests rejected homothetic separability. All U.S. agricultural outputs can be justifiably aggregated into as few as four categories. All Mexican agricultural outputs can be aggregated into as few as five categories. The aggregation of all outputs into a single output cannot be supported in either country by sufficient conditions provided by the generalized composite commodity theorem and/or a homothetically separable technology.

The overall objective of this paper is to assess the demand for improved groundnut, bean, and soybean seed in central Malawi. Specifically, it examines how smallholder farmers respond to changes in market prices of improved legume seed. It also assesses factors that affect the decision to participate in improved seed technology transfer. Considering four commodities namely groundnuts, beans, soybeans and maize,  a staple food,  the paper estimates a multivariate probit and a linear approximate of the Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS) using cross section data collected by ICRISAT in 2010. Uncompensated price and expenditure elasticities are reported for the LA/AIDS model. The paper finds high own price elasticities in all four commodities considered. It...

Retail data are used in a hedonic pricing framework to estimate the premium paid for the “low-carbohydrate” attribute and other attributes of bread at grocery and non-grocery stores in a regional market. Results show that consumer willingness to pay is influenced by the “low-carbohydrate” attribute as well as by sugar, fiber, and fat content; serving size; and size of loaf. Implicit price premiums vary significantly by retail location. However, price differentials may be compounded by the absence of an acceptable definition for low-carbohydrate foods.

A COMPETITIVENESS STUDY OF FOUR RICE PRODUCTION SYSTEMS IN TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Seecharan,   Denny; Jacque,   Andrew Eliel.
Rice imports into Trinidad and Tobago in 2005 represented approximately 95% of domestic demand. Local production has been declining since reaching a peak of 21,000 tonnes in 1992.  Present production is 3,500 tonnes.  Rice is produced under a variety of production systems and on farms of varying sizes, productivity and quality of output.  This paper examines the competitiveness of four production systems used in Trinidad and Tobago, viz.: the transplanting system (ST), the broadcast seeded system (SB)(both being small farms and highly labour intensive), the partially mechanized system of medium sized farms (MM) and a fully mechanized large farm utilizing aerial technology in the production system (CRP).

Most African communities depend on agriculture for both income generation and food security and yet farming has faced and is still confronted with a lot of production and market related hardships. Despite all these constraints, farmers are stuck on agriculture as it’s the only definite way of earning a living. The mistake farmers and other agricultural practitioners continuously make is to produce first and look for the market later. This is where buyers and the middle men in particular exploit and a conclusion is eventually made by the producer that,” there is no money in agriculture.” Farmers including those who want to reap from agriculture need to first change their attitudes towards it and secondly produce what the markets are demanding at particular...

FRACTIONAL CONINTEGRATION AND THE FALSE REJECTION OF THE LAW OF ONE PRICE IN INTERNATIONAL COMMODITY MARKETS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mohanty,   Samarendu; Peterson,   E. Wesley F.; Smith,   Darnell B.
This study examines the Law of One Price (LOP) in international commodity markets using fractional cointegration analysis.  For proper evaluation of the LOP, fractional cointegration analysis seems to be appropriate because of its flexibility in capturing a wider range of mean reversion behavior than standard cointegration analysis.  Out of nine pairs of price series examined, fractional cointegration supports the existence of the LOP in eight cases, as compared to three cases using standard cointegration procedures.  Overall, these results suggest that there is a long-run tendency for the LOP to hold for commodity prices.

Applying Transaction Cost Economics: A Note on Biomass Supply Chains
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Altman,   Ira J.; Sanders,   Dwight R.; Boessen,   Christian R.
Agricultural supply chains, especially those from producer to first handler, are relatively mature institutions. While agricultural economists often observe the evolution of marketing structures in developing nations, it is a rare opportunity to research a developing market within North America. The emerging bioenergy industry—which relies on non-food crops such as straw—provides the potential to research and potentially impact the development of new supply chains. Here, we briefly review the literature related to biomass supply chains, pose a transaction cost approach to studying their development, and then discuss the procurement strategies of an industry leader: the Iogen Corporation.

Discriminant analysis was used to identify the characteristics that distinguish between fully-certified organic, partially-certified organic and non-organic farmers in Umbumbulu district, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), South Africa (SA) during October- November 2004. 200 farmers interviewed were drawn by purposively selecting the 151 members of the Ezemvelo Farmers’ Organisation (EFO), and by random sampling 49 non-organic farmers in wards neighbouring EFO. Results from the two estimated discriminant functions suggested that farmers with higher household sizes, incomes, input costs per hectare and number of chickens owned, locations further from innovators and less risk aversion were more likely to be certified as organic. Household location should be considered in...

Autores: Dantas,   Fabiano; Weydmann,   Celso Leonardo.
Brazil is the largest exporter and third largest producer in the chicken meat market. Consequently, it is important to know the relationship between domestic and export prices. Through the Granger causation method and the cointegrating method of Engle and Granger and the Johansen one, this study aims to verify the hypothesis of long-term relationship between both domestic and export prices of chicken meat. The results indicate that prices are cointegrated. The conclusion is that the prices received by the Brazilian producers are possibly sensible to the behavior of world market prices, and therefore they should worried about internal factors which may enlarge differences between both prices.

U.S. Demand for Food and Nutrition in the 20th Century
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Beatty,   Timothy K.M.; LaFrance,   Jeffrey T.
A great deal of research on farm and food policy and consumer choice focuses on the link between food consumption and nutrition. This paper presents and applies a new method to analyze the demand for food and nutrients, and consumer welfare. The foundation for this method is the recent extension of the Gorman class of exactly aggregable demand models to incomplete demand systems. The purposes of this approach are to derive and implement coherent, flexible empirical models of food and nutrient demand, to estimate the model parameters consistently with aggregate data, and to make inferences on the impacts of farm and food policy changes on food and nutrient demand and consumer welfare of those policies. We apply this framework to annual per capita U.S....

A Term Structure Model for Commodity Prices: Does Storability Matter?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lin,   Chuanyi; Roberts,   Matthew C.
Econometric models of commodity prices have been estimated for more than 80 years, but both structural and time series models require ad hoc assumptions to capture all the features of commodity price series. Commodities can be broadly divided into two categories: storable and non-storable. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of storability on commodity futures pricing, especially whether meats can be reasonably approximated by storable commodity term structure models. From the empirical analysis of seven commodity futures prices, the two-factor Schwartz model is found to perform well for less storable commodities.

THE IMPACT OF INTERMEDIATE INPUT PRICE CHANGES ON FOOD PRICES: AN ANALYSIS OF "FROM-THE-GROUND-UP" EFFECTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lee,   Chinkook.
The impact of intermediate input price increases on food prices is analyzed assuming the producers can pass through increased production costs to final consumers.  Five scenarios of input price increases are empirically examined. Findings indicate that the meat processing sector has a strong dependence on intermediate inputs (livestock), and an increase in livestock prices would have a greater impact on processed meat prices than would any other intermediate input price increases.  Price increases in the service sector would result in overall price increases in food prices comparable to increases in intermediate agricultural commodities. Further, price increases in nondurable goods have more influence on food price increases than durable goods.

However, both tax policies and reforms have been formulated without clearly indication the channels through which gender impacts on these policies/reforms. Using the national household survey of 2005/06, this paper provided insight into how tax policies and reforms on indirect taxes impact differently on women and men. The incidence rate of tax gender-based household typologies controlled by expenditure quintile brings out interesting findings. The incidence rate of indirect tax is significantly greater on households headed by male compared to their female counterparts regardless of income level. This also holds after controlling for the presence of children. More importantly, the impact on...

Market power and subsidies in the Indonesian palm oil industry
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chalil,   Diana.
Cooking oil is known as an essential commodity in Indonesia. Having such an important role, the Indonesian government often interfered the cooking oil market to assure its price remain low. To do so, the government uses a subsidy policy as one of its instruments. A dynamic duopoly model is applied to evaluate the impact of subsidies given the structure of the industry. Estimation results suggest an evidence of both an increase in the consumer surplus but a decrease in aggregate welfare due to market power. A possible reason is proposed, but, in order to obtain a clear explanation, further research is required.

A two-stage simultaneous equation is utilized to model the choice of whether to purchase insurance and the choice of whether to purchase yield or revenue insurance using subjectively elicited survey data.  Our results show an elasticity of demand for crop insurance that remains largely unchanged from earlier estimates (-0.40), but the elasticity for choices between yield and revenue insurance is found to be relatively more elastic (-0.76).  Finally the link between adverse selection and the demand for insurance is examined.

This paper makes a contribution to the application of nonlinear simultaneous equations estimation and nonparametric Bootstrapping techniques. The nonlinear demand model estimation work in this paper is in the context of the newly developed Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS) model, and provides substantive results in terms of both model estimation technique and empirical economic findings. For the first time, bootstrapping is used in this highly nonlinear modeling environment to estimate variability in demand model parameter estimates and associated demand elasticities. The application relates to Japanese consumer behavior relative to Wagyu Beef, Imported Beef, Pork, Chicken, and Fish demand, and the empirical results are highly relevant to U.S....

A MODEL OF THE DISAGGREGATED DEMAND FOR MEAT IN AUSTRALIA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cashin,   Paul.
The focus of this study is the estimation of the Australian demand for meat between 1967 and 1990, employing a demand systems approach which uses the linear approximate, almost ideal demand system (LA/AIDS) model. Two demand systems are estimated by maximum likelihood methods, one for aggregate types of meat and one for disaggregated meat products. After correcting for serial correlation in the two demand systems, restrictions from utility theory are imposed and tested for their appropriateness. By using a new data set on the Australian retail price and consumption offresh pork, ham and bacon, the results from the disaggregated model provide the first estimates of the own-price, cross-price and expenditure elasticities for these commodities.

PROTECTED HORTICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT. AN INTEGRAL DECISION MODEL FOR GREENHOUSE WASTE MANAGEMENT IN SOUTHEASTERN SPAIN
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gomez,   Salvador Parra.
Over 380000 tons of vegetable waste is produced annually in the “Campo de Dalías” zone (Almería, Spain), deriving from the diverse existing crops grown under plastic cover. Landfills containing this vegetable waste are a potential breeding ground for diseases and pests, they can also be the subject of uncontrolled burning, cause a riverbed blockage and, at the same time, they are an unsightly aspect of the landscape. The only way to prevent or minimize this problem is to adopt a comprehensive and environmentally sensitive waste management program. The utilization of the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) has allowed the monetarization of the total environmental benefit of the projects undertaken, composting plant or in an energy recycling process, to the...

Economic Feasibility of an Air Cargo Handling Facility at Fargo, North Dakota
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Golz,   Theresa K.; Golz,   Joel T.; Koo,   Won W.
Exports to Taiwan in 1990 via air freight were approximately $2.9 billion, and imports via air freight to the united States were $3.1 billion. Total U.S. exports/imports to/from Taiwan in 1990 were $11.5 billion and $22.7 billion, respectively. China Airlines operates three air cargo hubs in the united States: New York, Los Angeles, and Dallas. The real per capita Gross National Product (GNP) in Taiwan for 1989 was $7,512, up from $3,297 in 1985. This implies that the Taiwanese economy is one of the fastest growing economies in Asia. Trade volume between the united States and Taiwan has increased substantially over the last 10 years and is predicted to grow in the future. The objective of this study is to evaluate the economic feasibility of Fargo, North...

Meta-Regression Estimates for CGE Models: A Case Study for Input Substitution Elasticities in Production Agriculture
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Boys,   Kathryn A.; Florax,   Raymond J.G.M.
The selection of appropriate parameters for computable general equilibrium (CGE) models critically affects the results of applied economic modeling exercises. Valid and reliable parameter selection models are needed, and typically comprise direct estimation, expert opinion, or copycatting of results from seminal studies. The purpose of this study is to use meta-analysis to summarize and more accurately estimate elasticities of input substitution, specifically between labor and other inputs in agricultural production. We construct a comprehensive database of elasticity estimates through an extensive literature review, and perform a meta-regression analysis to identify structural sources of variation in elasticity estimates sampled from primary studies. The...

Econometric models of the demand for quality-differentiated goods
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hanemann,   W. Michael.
This paper presents several models of the demand for quality differentiated goods in which the consumer decides which brand of product to select as well as how many units to buy. The models cover a variety of preference structures and can readily be estimated using standard techniques for switching regressions. From the fitted demand equations, one can calculate monetary measures of the welfare effects of changes in the price, quality, or variety of the brands. The models are then applied to data on households' demands for recreation sites in the Boston area, and the values of the sites are calculated.

Autores: Lee,   Andrew C.; Kim,   Man-Keun.
Locating fed cattle price discovery center is revisited using the framework that combines recent progress in causal research with time series analysis.  The Bernanke factorization in innovation accounting is obtained by a graphical method called directed acyclic graph which uses data to identify the contemporaneous causal structure among the innovations.  This may represent an improvement over the conventional methods which use human judgment and/or theory to supply such information.  Results indicate that Kansas market is a dominant price leader where new information is discovered.  Contrary to the previous studies, Nebraska market does not appear to be a price discovery location.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND STABILIZATION AND ECONOMIC WELFARE IN AGRICULTURE: SOME DYNAMIC CONSIDERATIONS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Wolanowski,   A.M.; Strong,   S.M.
Much previous work on agricultural stabilization has emphasized price stabilization. Stabilization is given a different meaning here. Additive error terms are attached to linear supply and demand functions, and the effects on consumers' and producers' surpluses of reducing these error terms are studied. That is, the error terms are assumed to have their variances reduced, and the expected values of the surpluses are derived and compared with their expected values corresponding to the original error term variances. The results are not favourable, and suggest that, with the particular criterion used here, stabilization of supply and demand functions is not as desirable as generally believed. Further results, allowing for shifts in the functions and the...

A Comparison of the Effectiveness of Using Futures, Options, LRP Insurance, or AGR-Lite Insurance to Manage Risk for Cow-calf Producers
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Feuz,   Dillon M.
A comparative analysis was performed looking at using cash, futures, options, or insurance to manage the price of calves for cow-calf producer. Risk can be reduced with the futures market and with options or LRP insurance. Options and LRP insurance are equivalent in the amount of risk that is reduced. AGR-Lite does not appear to be an effective policy at reducing risk for cow-calf producers.

British Columbia Consumers' Preferences for Italian Wines: Reputation and Vintage Effects on Wine Quality and Prices
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Florkowski,   Wojciech J.; Carew,   Richard; He,   Senhui.
Italian wines have been enjoyed by Canadian consumers for decades and the consumption is not limited to the ethnic Italian population. The study examines effects of wine characteristics and the brand associated with the designation of geographic origin estimating five hedonic price equations for Barbaresco; Barbera; Veneto (Valpolicella, Amarone and Reecioto); Soave; and, Chianti and uses weekly sales data from British Columbia retail outlets. Results indicate that, in general, a premium was paid for higher alcohol content, but the effects of individual brands within each area of origin varied and the range of price premia and discounts was from 14% to -12% suggesting that small price changes with regard to the baseline wine price could affect purchase.

EVIDENCE FOR A WEATHER PERSISTENCE EFFECT ON THE CORN, WHEAT AND SOYBEAN GROWING SEASON PRICE DYNAMICS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Stevens,   Stanley C.
The growing season weather in the corn, wheat and soybean production areas of the United States is an important determinant of the U.S. supply of these commodities.  The weather and climatology literature strongly suggest that during the summer months there is a degree of persistence in the North American weather patterns.  Given this nonrandom character of weather and given that the corn, wheat and soybean belts are geographically concentrated enough to be dominated by a regional weather phenomenon, their futures markets are hypothesized to reflect this assimilation of nonrandom weather information as nonrandom price fluctuations.  An empirical test of this question is the subject of this paper.

Term Structure of Volatility and Price Jumps in Agricultural Markets - Evidence from Option Data
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Koekebakker,   Steen; Lien,   Gudbrand D.
Empirical evidence suggests that agricultural futures price movements have fat-tailed distributions and exhibit sudden and unexpected price jumps. There is also evidence that the volatility of futures prices contains a term structure depending on both calendar-time and time to maturity. This paper extends Bates (1991) jump-diffusion option pricing model by including both seasonal and maturity effects in volatility. An in-sample fit to market option prices on wheat futures shows that our model outperforms previous models considered in the literature. A numerical example illustrates the economic significance of our results for option valuation.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fortenbery,   T. Randall; Cropp,   Robert A.; Zapata,   Hector O.
The objective of this study is to provide an empirical evaluation of the expected relationship between cash and futures prices for fluid milk. This is done using historic cash prices from 1988 to 1995, and making inferences about how futures prices would have behaved if they had traded during this sample period. Futures prices are simulated over the sample period based on two assumptions about futures market behavior for fluid milk. The first is that the futures market will essentially price the Basic Formula Price (BFP). The BFP is an estimate of the previous month's pay price for Grade B manufacturing milk in Minnesota and Wisconsin adjusted for contemporaneous changes in the prices of manufactured milk products. It establishes the federal milk marketing...

In traditional tests of forecast rationality, price forecasts are usually differenced to obtain stationarity. However, this data transformation may ignore important long-run information contained in forecasted price levels. Here, the concept of forecast consistency is paired with rationality concepts used in the market efficiency literature to develop a sequential testing procedure for forecast consistency and rationality. USDA quarterly livestock price forecasts do not demonstrate long-run consistency.

Autores: Lkassbi,   Driss; West,   Gale E.; Clark,   J. Stephen.
This study examines the competitiveness of four Canadian agricultural industries (eggs, milk, chicken and turkey) using a general equilibrium farm to retail pricing model developed by Wohlgenant (1989). The model generates retail and farm pricing equations that are estimated using maximum likelihood developed by Johansen (1992). The results indicate that in all cases, long-run constant returns is rejected, indicating market power within the Canadian retail to farm marketing sector. The model also finds more cointegrating vectors than predicted by theory, also inconsistent with competitive markets. Results are based on commercial disappearance as a proxy for consumer demand and therefore confounding between uncompetitive markets and quality differences may...

Trends in the Irish Beef Market During the 1990s - Identification and Analysis of Change Drivers
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: O'Reilly,   Seamus; McCarthy,   Mary.
This paper provides a brief review of the Irish beef market during the 1990s. It sets out to identify the key factors influencing beef consumption during this period and reviews industry/ government response to consumer needs. A number of factors influencing beef consumption are identified, including: price, safety, eating quality and health. In addition to price competitiveness, industry/government response has focused on safety and quality systems. Safety emerged as an important factor during the 1990s and various traceability, quality assurance schemes and supply chain partnerships were established to reassure the consumer. By the end of the decade such systems are a pre-requisite to market entry and increasingly the focus is on using these systems to...

THE STRUCTURE OF INTERNATIONAL DEMAND FOR SOYBEAN PRODUCTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Heien,   Dale; Pick,   Daniel H.
This study used a new body of quarterly data to estimate multilateral import demand relations for soybeans and soymeal.  The countries of origin were the United States, Brazil, and Argentina.  The areas of destination were the EEC, Japan, and Eastern Europe.  The results indicated that own- and cross-price elasticities were quite large.  These demand relations were then inverted and solved for prices to examine the effect on total revenue of increases in supplies from each of the exporting countries.  Results showed that, in all cases except one, own-total revenue was inflexible with respect to increase in the own-quantity supplied.  These results imply that an increase in exports will be associated with smaller proportional increase in revenue from exports.

Estimation of Consumer Demand Functions When the Observed Prices Are the Same for All Sample Units
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Paris,   Quirino.
With the advent of the almost ideal demand system (AIDS) of Deaton and Muellbauer, the estimation of consumer demand functions revolves around specifications that use flexible functional forms of the indirect utility function. This dual approach has put on the backburner the traditional primal approach because the direct utility function exists only in a latent state. The lack of explicit, analytical invertibility of either system, however, is an indication that focusing exclusively on the dual side of the consumer problem is equivalent to disregard potentially important and independent information residing with the primal side. This paper suggests that efficient estimates (in the sense of using all the available information) of the demand functions...

PRICE INCENTIVES FOR COMMERCIAL FRESH TOMATOES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bierlen,   Ralph W.; Grunewald,   Orlen C.
Hedonic price models are estimated to determine if there are incentives to supply higher quality tomatoes.  Price premiums are associated with extra-large tomatoes originating from shipping points located closer to consumption points.  Price differences between mature-green and vine-ripe tomatoes are not significant.  Vine-ripe tomatoes are favored by consumers in the summer while mature-green tomatoes are favored the rest of the year.  The U.S. Department of Agriculture should consider changing the present tomato grading system, which is based on shape and smoothness, to include a flavor indicator based on harvest maturity.

The Use of Markets To Increase Private Investment in Environmental Stewardship
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ribaudo,   Marc; Hansen,   LeRoy T.; Hellerstein,   Daniel; Greene,   Catherine R.
U.S. farmers and ranchers produce a wide variety of commodities for food, fuel, and fiber in response to market signals. Farms also contain significant amounts of natural resources that can provide a host of environmental services, including cleaner air and water, flood control, and improved wildlife habitat. Environmental services are often valued by society, but because they are a public good—that is, people can obtain them without paying for them—farmers and ranchers may not benefit financially from producing them. As a result, farmers and ranchers under-provide these services. This report explores the use of market mechanisms, such as emissions trading and eco-labels, to increase private investment in environmental stewardship. Such investments could...

A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF DEMAND FOR BEEF, MUTTON/GOAT, PORK AND CHICKEN IN KENYA, 1961-1991
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chanyalew,   Demese; Belete,   Abenet.
This study examines the demand for beef, mutton/goat, pork and chicken in Kenya for the period 1961 to 1991. A log linear function was used to estimate direct, cross and income elasticities. The analysis reveals that the demand for beef and mutton/goat is elastic while the demand for pork and chicken is inelastic. The results of further analyses indicate that mutton/goat is a substitute to beef while pork and chicken are complements to it. In the mutton/goat equation, beef is a substitute to mutton/goat while pork and chicken are complements to it. Both the beef and the mutton/goat equations indicated an income elasticity of more than one. High income elasticities for these two types of meat perhaps indicate that if improvements can be made in both...

We examined four evolution paths of the biofuel sector using a partial equilibrium world agricultural sector model in CARD that includes the new RFS in the 2007 EISA, a two-way relationship between fossil energy and biofuel markets, and a new trend toward corn oil extraction in ethanol plants. At one extreme, one scenario eliminates all support to the biofuel sector when the energy price is low, while the other extreme assumes no distribution bottleneck in ethanol demand growth when the energy price is high. The third scenario considers a pure market force driving ethanol demand growth because of the high energy price, while the last is a policy-induced shock with removal of the biofuel tax credit when the energy price is high. Standard results hold where...

PASS-THROUGH ANALYSIS OF COTTON PRICES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Devine,   Jon; Plastina,   Alejandro S.
A common question when analyzing supply chains is how much a change in input costs at one stage in the supply chain affect prices downstream.  To address this question, research has been conducted that examines the extent that changes in prices are “passed-through.”  Much of the pass-through research that has been conducted has been focused on changes in prices at the beginning of supply chains - at the commodity-level. To date, however, there is no known research analyzing the effect of changes of cotton fiber prices on cotton textile goods, neither at different stages in the cotton supply chain, nor at the retail level. While pass-through analysis of the cotton supply chain presents certain challenges in terms of data collection, it also presents great...

This paper describes a mathematical programming model of broadacre agriculture in Australia and presents estimates of national and regional supply responses made with it. Own-price and cross-price supply elasticities are presented for wool sheep meat, beef and crops and the results compared with those of two other major models of Australian agriculture. It is shown that long term supply responses for the commodities studied are substantially greater than unity as are cross-price elasticities in a number of cases. It is also shown that supply responses differ substantially between regions.

The pricing behavior of the Florida celery industry under the current federal marketing order was examined by analyzing the implied market structure of the industry using a model proposed by Appelbaum.  Point estimates of the oligopoly power index suggest that some degree of price enhancement above that which would be characterized by a perfectly competitive market may have occurred.  However, the bulk of statistical evidence suggests that the departure from marginal cost pricing implied by the industry's pricing behavior is not statistically significant.

Irreversible demand is relevant to pricing strategy and demand modeling with weekly data.  Competing explanations include loss aversion and stockpiling.  Irreversible models for U.S. cheese and table spreads suggest that stockpiling dominates loss aversion. Price smoothing may be an inappropriate strategy in this case. Reversible demand models applied to weekly data may overestimate own-price elasticities.

Autores: Nicola,   Danieli Scalcon; Freitas,   Clailton Ataides; Paz,   Marlon Vidal.
Este trabalho objetiva mensurar a volatilidade dos preços futuros do açúcar negociados na BM&amp;F, bem como verificar quais entre os modelos univariados propostos apresenta melhor desempenho preditivo para o preço da commodity em questão. Para tanto se utilizam modelos de análise de volatilidade do tipo ARCH e modelos univariados de previsão aplicados a séries temporais, entre os quais os modelos ARIMA e SARIMA. Os resultados empíricos sugerem não haver presença de assimetria entre choques positivos e negativos e indicam a persistência na volatilidade dos preços do açúcar, implicando que os choques de volatilidade se dissiparão lentamente ao longo do tempo, podendo gerar perdas econômicas. Quanto aos modelos de previsão, o modelo ARIMA apresentou os...

On Pricing and Vertical Organization of Differentiated Products: The Case of Soybean Seed Industry
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Shi,   Guanming; Chavas,   Jean-Paul.
This paper investigates the pricing and vertical organization of differentiated products under imperfect competition. In a multiproduct context, a Cournot model is used to examine how substitution/complementarity relationships among products and vertical structures can affect the exercise of market power. This motivates a generalization of the Herfindahl-Hirschman index (termed VHHI) capturing how market concentration and vertical structures interact to influence prices of differentiated products. The analysis is applied to pricing of soybean seeds in the US over the period 2000-2007. The analysis considers two vertical structures employed by biotech firms: vertical integration and licensing. The econometric analysis finds evidence that vertical...

THE ELASTICITY OF AGGREGATE AUSTRALIAN AGRICULTURAL SUPPLY: ESTIMATES AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Pandey,   Sushil; Piggott,   Roley R.; MacAulay,   T. Gordon.
Annual time series data for the period 1950-51 through 1975-76 are used to estimate the price elasticity of aggregate Australian agricultural supply using two methods. The short-run elasticity is estimated to be highly inelastic but it has been increasing through time. The preferred estimate of the long-run elasticity is in the relatively inelastic range and it has also been increasing through time. Some implications of these results for intersectoral resource flows and compensatory assistance, the cost-price squeeze, the effects of the mineral boom and monetary policy are discussed.

Accounting for Product Substitution in the Analysis of Food Taxes Targeting Obesity
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Miao,   Zhen; Beghin,   John C.; Jensen,   Helen H.
We extend the existing literature on food taxes targeting obesity. First, we incorporate the implicit substitution between sugar and fat nutrients implied by a complete food demand system and by conditioning on how food taxes affect total calorie intake. Second, we propose a methodology that accounts for the ability of consumers to substitute leaner low-fat and low-sugar items for rich food items within the same food group. This substitution is integrated into a demand system in addition to substitution among food groups. Simulations of a tax on added sugars show that the impact of the tax on consumption patterns is understated and the effect on welfare loss overstated when abstracting from this substitution within food groups.

Alternative specifications of advertising in the Rotterdam model
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Brown,   Mark G.; Lee,   Jonq-Ying.
This paper examines several approaches to introduce advertising in systems of demand equations.  Advertising is included in the Rotterdam model using an unrestricted specification and three restricted specifications - advertising affects demand alternatively through (1) marginal utilities as in studies by Duffy (1987, 1989, 1990) and Selvanathan (1989), (2) scaling parameters which can be viewed as indicators of product quality, and (3) translation parameters which can be viewed as indicators of basic needs.  A test to choose among the alternative specifications is provided and the methodology is applied to data on demand for fruit juice products.

Are Local Corn Prices Affected by the Location of Ethanol Biorefineries?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Katchova,   Ani L.
This study examines whether the local competition for corn to produce ethanol has lead to significantly higher prices for farmers located close to ethanol biorefineries. If any, such price premiums for spatial closeness would be in addition to the general level of corn price changes experienced by farmers throughout the U.S. The difference-in-differences estimation method is used to account for both time and spatial differences in order to measure the interaction of time and spatial effects. Using the USDA’s ARMS data, the results show that while prices in real terms have changed over time, farmers located close to ethanol biorefineries have not received significantly higher prices than farmers living farther away from biorefineries. These findings...

Evaluation of historic, current and future water demand in the Olifants River Catchment, South Africa
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: McCartney,   Matthew P.; Arranz,   Roberto.
Water resource development has played a significant role in the expansion of agriculture and industry in the Olifants River Catchment. However, currently water deficit is one of the major constraints hampering development in the catchment; both the mining and agricultural sectors are producing below optimal levels because of their reliance on insufficient supplies. In this study, the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) model was used to evaluate scenarios of historic, current and future water demand in the catchment. For each scenario, the WEAP model was used to simulate demand in five different sectors (rural, urban, mining, commercial forestry and irrigation) over a 70-year period of varying rainfall and hydrology. Levels of assured supply were...

Autores: Hogan,   J.C.; Todd,   Mike C.
Two investigations are reported. The first is a comparison of average prices for two cattle types within pairs of some major auction centres in Australia. Significant price differences existed in three of the four cases studied. The second is a study of the main determinants of price differences between auction selling centres through a case study of a large and small auction centre. The major factor explaining the price differences between the two auction centres was lot size. This factor also influenced price variation within auctions. The number of buyers purchasing cattle did not affect price levels.

The Effect of Label Information on Farmers’ Pesticide Choice
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hasing,   Tomas; Carpio,   Carlos E.; Willis,   David B.; Sydorovych,   Olha; Marra,   Michele C.
The general objective of this study was to analyze the effect of labeling information on farmers’ herbicide choice. Herbicide choices made by farmers were used to estimate their willingness to pay for different herbicide attributes. Estimation results indicate that human health and environmental statements displayed on pesticide labels (which reflect higher level of risk) are important components in herbicide selection. For example, it is estimated that farmers are willing to pay, on average, $27 per acre to avoid using an herbicide with the word “Warning” and $38 per acre to avoid using an herbicide with the word “Danger.”

FACTORS AFFECTING FRESH POTATO PRICE IN SELECTED TERMINAL MARKETS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Goodwin,   Harold L., Jr.; Fuller,   Stephen W.; Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Asgill,   Oladimagi W.
Monthly, quarterly, and annual cross-sectional and time-series data for the period 1982-85 were analyzed to identify factors affecting terminal market price for four types of fresh potatoes. Results indicated that state of origin, terminal market package type, and season of marketing were significant quality variables affecting price. Price differences among potato types because of season of marketing and stocks of fall potatoes were evident. These results suggest that cultivar selection, cultural practices, planting and harvesting schedules, packaging, and market selection – factors which are ultimately controlled by growers and grower/shippers – can be utilized effectively as mechanisms to increase price and expand markets.

Autores: Brown,   Mark G.; Behr,   Robert M.; Lee,   Jonq-Ying.
The question of endogeneity of conditional expenditures, as well as prices, in conditional demand equations for justices is examined.  Both conditional expenditures and prices were found to be uncorrelated with the conditional demand errors, based on Wu-Hausman tests.  Conditional demand error variance/covariance estimates and corresponding Slutsky coefficient estimates were approximately proportional, as predicted by the theory of rational random behavior, further supporting independence of conditional expenditures and conditional errors for juice demands.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Yiemphat,   Nualsri.
Michigan ranks among the top five asparagus producing states in the United States; ranking forth in production, and second in its seasonal group.  As of 1970, the five leading states in asparagus were: (1) California, (2) New Jersey, (3) Washington, (4) Michigan, and (5) Illinois.  Although the total acreages employed for asparagus production has been decreasing -3,800 acres between 1969 and 1970 -Michigan's has been increasing - 900 acres for the same period.  The marked decrease in asparagus production over the past decade may be explained by strong foreign competition, especially from Taiwan since 1964; and from competing enterprises in certain areas and from asparagus farms sharing in the natural attrition of all farms in the U.S.  The objective of...

Estimation of Asymmetric Price Adjustment in the U.S. Soybean Trade Using Rolling TAR: The Relation with Market Structure
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Nakajima,   Toru.
The threshold autoregressive (TAR) model by Enders and Granger (1998) and Enders and Siklos (2001) is a popular econometric model that estimates asymmetric price transmission (APT) with non-stationary time series data. However, empirical studies have not considered much the arbitrariness of sample period selection and possible temporal variation of parameters or asymmetry. The purpose of this study is to estimate the APT from the U.S. domestic soybean prices to the export prices using the TAR model, and to trace the changes of APT using rolling woindow methodology of TAR. Another purpose is to analyze the relation between the APT and the market structure in the world soybean trade. The hypothesis is that the APT was positive, which means that the U.S....

Autores: Nkamleu,   Guy Blaise.
This paper investigates sources and determinants of agricultural growth in Africa, concentrating on the growth path during the last three decades. The analysis employs the broader framework provided by empirical growth literature and recent developments in Total Factor Productivity (TFP) measurement to search for fundamental determinants of growth in African agriculture. One main contribution and new findings in this analysis is the quantification of the contribution of the productivity growth and the contribution of different inputs such as land, labor, tractor and fertilizer in the agricultural growth. Growth accounting computation highlights the fact that factor accumulation rather than TFP accounts for a large share of agricultural output growth and...

The Effect of Increased Energy Prices on Agriculture: A Differential Supply Approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Moss,   Charles B.; Livanis,   Grigorios T.; Schmitz,   Andrew.
The increase in energy prices between 2004 and 2007 has several potential consequences for aggregate agriculture in the U.S. We estimate the derived input demand elasticities for energy as well as capital, labor, and materials using the differential supply formulation. Given that the derived input demand for energy is inelastic, it is more price-responsive than the other inputs. The results also indicate that the U.S. aggregate agricultural supply function is responsive to energy prices.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Koontz,   Stephen R.; Hudson,   Michael A.; Hughes,   Matthew W.
The efficiency of livestock futures markets continues to receive attention, particularly with regard to their forward pricing or forecasting ability.  The purpose of this paper is to present a more general theory that encompasses the forward pricing concept.  It is argued that futures contract prices for competitively produced nonstorable commodities, such as live cattle and live hogs, follow a rational formation process.  Futures contract prices reflect expected market conditions when contracts are sufficiently close to the delivery month that the supply of the underlying commodity cannot be changed.  However, prior to the period when future supplies are relatively fixed, futures contract prices should adjust to reflect the competitive equilibrium, where...

This paper addresses three key empirical questions related to health, nutrient, and process claims on front-label packaging; namely, 1) How do consumers value alternative claims on product and process-based attributes for fresh produce; 2) Are these values additively separable; and 3) To what degree is there heterogeneity between consumers on these values? We use  a hypothetical choice experiment on red leaf lettuce attribute bundles, and estimate several logit models (MNL and ML) that provide estimates of marginal utilities (and with the inclusion of varying prices, marginal values) of various attributes related to general health claims, specific nutrition and health claims,  certification logos related to health and nutrition currently found in the...

IMPLICATIONS OF DEFLATING COMMODITY PRICES FOR TIME-SERIES ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Peterson,   Hikaru Hanawa; Tomek,   William G.
The choice of deflators of commodity prices can change the time-series properties of the original series. This is a specific application of the general phenomenon that various kinds of data transformations can create spurious cycles that did not exist in the original data. Different empirical models of expectations result from nominal and various deflated series that have distinct time-series properties, and these models, in turn, produce varying estimates of supply response and measures of price risk. The foregoing is illustrated by annual grain prices, monthly milk prices, and a milk supply analysis. Annual prices of corn and soybeans, for example, appear to vary around a constant mean, but when deflated by general price indexes such as the CPI, the...

The instability of the producers and investors income coming from price fluctuation is a problem whose characteristics and causes should be thoroughly investigated given the importance of the commodity in the national agribusiness and their losses in terms of profitability, jobs and exchange value to Brazil. Given that, it is used the class of autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity models (ARCH and GARCH) to characterize and analyze the volatility of the time series of monthly returns of soy, coffee, corn and fat ox. This analysis shows that these products are marked by having high price fluctuations, in which positive or negative shocks generate impacts in the long run.

Including within-season tactical changes to wheat areas decreases the own-price elasticity of supply. By contrast, introducing risk aversion has no consistent effect on the own-price elasticity of supply. The implications for supply models are discussed.

Linking Small Scale Farmers in China with the International Markets: A Case of Apple Export Chains
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Zhang,   Xiaoyong; Qiu,   Huanguang; Huang,   Zhurong.
This study describes how governance mechanisms were formed that link small-scale apple farmers in China with export markets. These institutional innovations have improved the efficiency of price transmission and generated higher profit margins for various actors in the supply chain, in particular for small-scale farmers. Chinese apple exports are highly coordinated through ongoing long term loyal network relationships and vertical integration. Relevant policy implications and further challenges are discussed in the conclusion.

Positive Market Effects from a Meatpacking Plant Opening: Perceptions and Reality
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hornung,   Jonathan T.; Ward,   Clement E.
Economic theory suggests that adding a competitive buyer to a market should have positive effects on competition and prices, ceteris paribus. An additional buyer increases market demand, shifting demand to the right, and expands the number of active buyers, reducing average market shares of existing buyers while intensifying bidding competition. Whether or not these positive impacts occur in reality is an empirical question. The largest pork processor in Canada, Maple Leaf Foods Inc., opened a 45,000 head/week hog processing facility in August 1999 in Brandon, Manitoba. The plant opened during a period of expanding hog production in Canada, of increasing hog exports to the United States, and of increasingly tight processing capacity in the United States...

The behaviour of food relative prices: An analysis across the European Countries
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gutierrez,   Luciano; Brasili,   Cristina; Fanfani,   Roberto.
In this paper we analyze the behavior of relative food prices for a set of 24 European countries observed during the period 1996.1 - 2007.7. Using new methods for analyzing nonstationary panels, we are able to show that relative food prices have a common component which accounts for a large share of their variance. We show that this component has had a greater effects on the group of countries that adopt the Euro. We also find that countries in the Euro area are more market integrated, i.e. food prices tend to converge, than countries that have not adopted the Euro. Finally, we report that the half-live of a shock to relative food prices varies depending on the product, and that the adjustment is generally faster, on average about 10 months, than those...

Changes in Price Behavior in the U.S. Catfish Industry: Evidence Using Cointegration
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hudson,   Darren.
The implications of market development in the catfish industry on catfish price behavior are explored using cointegration. It is hypothesized that market development, through increases in competition between processors and shifts in consumer preferences toward fish, has caused changes in price behavior among levels of the catfish market. Using monthly catfish price data, a cointegration analysis of subsets of prices shows that price behavior has changed through time, with catfish prices becoming integrated as the number of processors has increased. These results may have implications for the examination of market price behavior in developing or emerging markets.

Demand for quality-differentiated beef in Japan
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Saghaian,   Sayed H.; Reed,   Michael R.
In this article, we apply a model of vertical product differentiation to the Japanese beef market. We theoretically derive a system of consumer demand functions for quality-differentiated beef in Japan. We choose a particular utility function which is nonlinear in the consumption of the quality-differentiated product and linear in the consumption of all other goods. We employ a seemingly unrelated econometric model to estimate Japanese consumer demand functions for four beef types from the four origins. The empirical results show Japanese consumers prefer domestically produced beef to imported US and Australian. We also find seventeen substitution and two complementary effects among the various origins.

We econometrically estimate consumer demand for dairy products in Japan using time series data for 1960-2003. We identify economic, cultural, and demographic forces that have been influencing dairy consumption patterns. We use the Almost Ideal (AI) Demand System by Deaton and Muellbauer and its variant, the Semiflexible Almost Ideal (SAI) Demand System developed by Moschini to impose concavity locally by reducing the rank of the Hessian of the expenditure function. We estimate three specifications: a full system comprising of four dairy products (fluid milk, powder milk, cheese, and butter), and an allother-goods aggregate; a subsystem for food made of four dairy goods and an all-other-food aggregate; and a sub-system of the four dairy products. The...

The Doha Round and Food Security in the Dairy Sector in Cameroon: A Global Simulation Model (GSIM) Approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Leudjou,   Roland R.
In the framework of the new round of trade liberalization launched in Doha, paragraph 13 of the Development Declaration states that members will support special and differential treatment to accommodate development, including food security. This article simulates scenarios of multilateral tariff reduction from the WTO December 2008 draft modalities on agriculture for the Cameroon dairy sector. Using the Global Simulation Model, the analysis shows a substantial increase in world and domestic consumer prices, as the reduction of bound tariffs does not affect the applied tariffs given the high "binding overhang". As a consequence, consumers' welfare decreases.

A GAME THEORETIC APPROACH TO ORGANIC FOODS: AN ANALYSIS OF ASYMMETRIC INFORMATION AND POLICY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: McCluskey,   Jill J.
Demand for healthy, safe and environmentally friendly food products has been increasing. In response, producers are marketing organic and other quality-differentiated foods, sometimes claiming to have followed sound environmental and animal welfare practices. These products frequently have unobservable quality attributes. If the profit-maximizing producer is able to deceive the consumer with a false claim, then he or she will enjoy a higher price with lower production costs (compared to the full disclosure outcomes). The analysis described in this paper shows that repeat-purchase relationships and third party monitoring are required for high-quality credence goods to be available. Policy implications of this analysis for national organic food standards are...

This paper investigates the respective roles of spatial integration and arbitrage costs in explaining the adjustment of local prices to policy changes using the example of Ghana. We introduce a model of price formation and market integration that incorporates the price transmission process between local and central markets and also captures the implications for volatility of local prices. We explore the implications of the model for the time-path of price adjustments, as determined directly and indirectly through the marketing sector. We show that the price-adjustment process in a local market is determined by the degree of interdependence between that market and the central market in which price-shock originates, and estimate the intertemporal and...

Input prices for broiler production, particularly corn, are becoming increasingly volatile due to increasing competition for corn from ethanol and biofuels production suggesting volatility in poultry profits will follow indicator of profits relating feed input prices and broiler meat output prices, such as a Broiler:corn ratios. Total chicken exports, total chicken ready-to-cook production, number of eggs set, number of chicks placed, and cold storage chicken inventory are used to estimate. Utilizing a distributed lag model, seventeen years of data for three Broiler:corn ratios, broiler exports, egg set, chick placements, cold storage stocks, and ready-to-cook broiler production were utilized to estimate stock share price for four major broiler producers.

Tax evasion and widening the tax base in Uganda
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Sennoga,   Edward B.; Matovu,   John Mary; Twimukye,   Evarist P.
Uganda still lags behind in its tax collections at the domestic level. For most of the commodities the tax collection effort is not more than 5 percent relative to the statutory rate of 18 percent. This results into a situation where the government has to rely a lot on foreign financing. From the analysis, there is a lot of improvement where URA can be able to increase its tax effort. this could be achieved by targeting commodities that are under-taxed and excluding food items for equity purposes. Increasing domestic collection would also result into less over reliance on taxing a few commodities especially fuel which is interlinked with a lot of other sectors and could indeed harm growth in the long-run. We also find that the tax effort on imports is...

Autores: Rahmann,   Gerold; Ashworth,   Stuart W.; Boutonnet,   Jean-Pierre; Brunori,   Gianluca; Papadopoulos,   Ioannis.
With commodity prices continuing to decrease and with policy constraint that farmers cannot easily increase their incomes by increasing volumes of production, they must find alternative ways to maintain their standard of living. This can be achieved by either niche marketing of agricultural products or by environmental payments, which are paid by either the government or the consumer. The results of a consumer survey carried out in Less Favoured Areas in Scotland, Germany, Greece, France and Italy to assess consumer attitudes of what constitutes the quality of lamb and the extent to which this provides an opportunity to exploit niche marketing, are discussed. Consumers generally have much less interest in the use of regional labelling, ecologically...

This study develops an analytical framework to examine the impact of generic advertising on brand advertising with alternative assumptions on demand changes (shift-up and rotation), product differentiation, market concentration, and relationship between commodity and brand advertising programs. The newly developed model allows one to determine the relationship between generic and brand advertising, which has not been clearly shown in previous studies. Analytical results show that when generic advertising leads to an inelastic demand, generic advertising would help brand advertising and could decrease the optimal brand advertising expenditures. However, when generic advertising leads to an elastic demand, it would negatively affect the profitability of...

How effective is the EU Entry Price System for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Goetz,   Linde; Grethe,   Harald.
The EU protects EU growers of 15 kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables against international competition not only by the means of ad valorem tariffs of up to 20%, but also by the EU entry-price system (EPS), which is designed to restrict imports below the product-specific, politically designated entry price level. This study investigates the influence of the EPS on import prices of fruits and vegetables per product and country of origin. We utilise a unique data set comprising about 60,000 observations of daily synthetic import prices. We develop two indicators for the effectiveness of the EPS, which serve as variables in a cluster analysis identifying four classes differing in the relevance of the EPS. Results suggest that the relevance of the EPS is...

Most technology adoption research has focused on crops. Primary data were used to determine differences in management practices among two groups of Oklahoma cow-calf producers based on herd size and cattle income dependence. Significant differences were noted between two groups of producers (smaller operations with less dependence on cattle versus larger with more dependence on cattle) in 79% of the management practices examined. Logit models determined factors influencing the probability of adopting 17 recommended practices. Important factors included the firm goal to choose practices that reduce labor, income dependence on cattle, human capital, and size of operation.

On the Accuracy of Nielsen Homescan Data

Autores: Einav,   Liran; Leibtag,   Ephraim S.; Nevo,   Aviv.
Researchers use Nielsen Homescan data, which provide detailed food-purchase information from a panel of U.S. households, to address a variety of important research topics. However, some question the credibility of the data since the data are self-recorded and the recording process is time-consuming. Matching purchase records from 2004 Homescan data with data obtained from a large grocery retailer, it is evident that quantities purchased are reported more accurately in Homescan than are prices. Many of the price differences may be driven by the way Nielsen imputes prices: when available, Nielsen uses store-level prices instead of the actual price paid by the household. There are also differences by household type in the tendency to make mistakes that are...

IMPOSING REGULARITY CONDITIONS ON A SYSTEM OF COST AND FACTOR SHARE EQUATIONS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Griffiths,   William E.; O'Donnell,   Christopher J.; Cruz,   Agustina Tan.
Systems of equations comprising cost functions and first-order derivative equations are often used to estimate characteristics of production technologies.  Unfortunately, many estimated systems violate the regularity conditions implied by economic theory.  Sampling theory methods can be used to impose these conditions globally, but these methods destroy the flexibility properties of most functional forms.  We demonstrate how Bayesian methods can be used to maintain flexibility by imposing regularity conditions locally.  The Bayesian approach is used to estimate a system of cost and share equations for the merino-woolgrowing sector.  The effect of local imposition of monotonicity and concavity on the signs and magnitudes of elasticities is examined.

A flexible, full rank two model of food consumption that is globally consistent with economic theory, aggregates across income, demographic variables, and variations in micro demand parameters, and accommodates tradeoffs between tastes and nutrition is derived.  The econometric demand model is estimated with per capita U.S. consumption of 21 foods on the time period 1919-1994, excluding the World War II years 1942-1946.  An approach for inferring the percentage of nutrients available from individual commodities in the U.S. food supply is derived and implemented empirically on the time period 1949-1995 for the nutrients energy, protein, total fat, carbohydrates, and cholesterol.  The two sets of model results are combined to generate time paths for income...

Determining the Price-Responsiveness of Demands for Irrigation Water Deliveries versus Consumptive Use
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Scheierling,   Susanne M.; Young,   Robert A.; Cardon,   Grant E.
A water-crop simulation/mathematical programming model of irrigation water demand in northeastern Colorado is formulated to develop an original concept of derived demand for consumptive use of water. Conventional demand functions for water deliveries are also developed, and the effect of hypothetical price increases on both consumption and delivery are illustrated. Findings indicate that demand elasticity estimates are quite sensitive to model specification, and consumptive use demand tends to be significantly less price-responsive than delivery demand. Thus price incentives are likely to have only limited impacts on basin-wide water consumption and would not make much additional water available for emerging demands.

Autores: Zhao,   Jinhua; Kling,   Catherine L.
We present a dynamic model of an agent's decision to purchase or sell a good under conditions of uncertainty, irreversibility, and learning over time. Her WTP contains both the intrinsic value of the good and a commitment cost associated with delaying the decision until more information is available. Consequently, the standard Hicksian equivalence between WTP/WTA and compensating and equivalent variation no longer holds. This finding has important practical implications as it implies that observed WTP values are not always appropriate for welfare analysis.

Autores: Thiele,   Silke.
This study presents a procedure to estimate expenditure and price elasticities of food commodities from cross-sectional data. There are two problems with the use of cross-sectional data: First, priceinformation is not sufficient in these data. To derive “adjusted prices” from cross-sectional data an approach of COX and WOHLGENANT is applied. Second, zero expenditures for some commodity groups can be observed. To avoid selectivity bias a generalization of the HECKMAN procedure is employed. Both, the adjusted prices and the bias correction are included in a Linear Expenditure System. It can be concluded that expenditure and price elasticities could differ significantly between household characteristics. The research results suggest that attempts to use only...

Autores: Kibaara,   Betty; Nyoro,   James K.
Agriculture is the mainstay of the Kenyan Economy. However, agriculture has experienced low productivity over the years. Poor access to agricultural finance has been identified as a contributing factor to low crop productivity. Kenyan agriculture has undergone some fundamental changes which have profoundly affected agricultural financial services. In addition, most financiers shy away from lending to the agricultural sector because of the covariant risks related to rain-fed agriculture. Given this background, we undertake a comparative analysis of emerging models of agricultural finance that have expanded the agricultural finance frontier to the smallholder farmers. Key findings indicate that demand for farming credit takes the highest proportion of the...

The US specialty coffee industry has grown from $1 billion in 1990 to $11 billion in 2006 and is expected to continue to grow into the foreseeable future. This growth particularly depends on prices coordinating the specialty coffee supply chain through two-way information exchange between roasters and producers. We analyze the determinants of specialty coffee prices by estimating a hedonic price function for specialty Central and South American coffees traded at e-auctions. We hypothesize that since specialty coffee is a differentiated product, prices will be determined by both sensory and reputation attributes. The results show that prices are influenced by the quality rating, which is a sensory variable, and by the quality rankings established in the...

The Price of Happy Hens: A Hedonic Analysis of Retail Egg Prices

Autores: Chang,   Jae Bong; Lusk,   Jayson L.; Norwood,   F. Bailey.
This paper analyzes price differentials among conventional, cage-free, organic, and Omega-3 eggs using retail scanner data from two regional markets and the United States as a whole. Results reveal significant premiums attributable to cage-free (a 57% premium on average) and organic (an 85% premium on average). However, significant variation exists among geographic locations; price premiums for organic over conventional eggs in Dallas are almost twice as high as those in San Francisco. Estimates indicate that about 42% of the typically observed premium for cage-free eggs over conventional eggs (and 36% of the premium for organic eggs) can be attributed to egg color rather than differences in hens’ living conditions. Despite the large implicit price...

SOME FACTORS AFFECTING THE CLEAN PRICE OF GREASY WOOL
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Skinner,   J.N.
Using data from two representative wool-selling seasons, this paper presents an analysis of the influence of various wool characteristics on the clean price of greasy wool. The crimp frequency of staples is shown to be over three times more important than either staple length or colour; other characteristics, relative to these three, appear to be of no importance.

FACTOR DEMANDS OF LOUISIANA RICE PRODUCERS: AN ECONOMETRIC INVESTIGATION
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: McLean-Meyinsse,   Patricia E.; Okunade,   Albert Ade.
A Diewert-flexible (dual) cost function was used to derive a system of conditional factor demand equations for Louisiana rice producers.  Generalized Leontief cost and factor share equations were fitted for the 1955-87 period using Zellner's SURE system estimation procedure.  The Aitken parameter estimates reveal that: (1) the optimal input mix of rice farmers varies with production scale, (2) the factor-augmenting technical change is labor and chemical saving but seed using, (3) pairwise input substitutions are limited, and (4) factor demands are own-price inelastic.  An implication is that Louisiana rice farmers will not appreciably alter their factor utilizations when relative input prices change.

Assessing Korean Consumers’ Valuation for Domestic and Imported Rice: Importance of Country of Origin and Food Miles Information
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Han,   Doo Bong; Nayga,   Rodolfo M., Jr.; Lee,   Ji Yong; Yoon,   Jong Min.
The aim of this paper is to determine Korean consumers’ valuation for domestic rice and imported rice from China and the US. Using revealed preference data from random nth price auction mechanism, our results generally suggest that consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for domestic rice is higher than the WTP for imported rice. Results also suggest that while country of origin and food miles information positively influences consumers’ WTP for domestic rice, country of origin information provides higher valuation for domestic rice than food miles information. Country of origin and food miles information has no statistically significant effect on WTP for the imported Chinese rice product but food miles information has a negative effect on WTP for the imported...

Demand behavior of U.S. high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and its implication for the U.S. sweetener market: a cointegration analysis
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lee,   Dae-Seob; Kennedy,   P. Lynn.
This paper investigates the relationship between U.S. HFCS demand and refined sugar price. A cointegration analysis is utilized to investigate possible linkages between these markets. The coefficients on the ECM have the expected signs, and they measure adjustments towards long-run equilibrium. The study result also shows that there is cointegration in a relationship including, HFCS price, the refined sugar price, and income. the increase in HFCS demand would affect primarily the quantity of sugar imports negatively. However, this study does not necessarily support such a conclusion due to the exclusion of noneconomic factors such as change in consumer preference and health concern.

DEMAND RELATIONS OF OILSEED PRODUCTS IN SOUTH AFRICA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: van Schalkwyk,   Hendrik P.
In this study demand relations for primary oilseeds in South Africa is estimated and interpreted with the use of econometric models. Two different models, namely the Linear Approximate Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS) and the two-step Error Correction Model (ECM), were applied to annual oilseed data for the years 1971-2002.  The F ratio test for separability failed to reject the null hypothesis of weak separability in most cases, indicating that sunflower seed, soybeans, groundnuts and cotton could be included in the same system and modeled together.  The Hausman test for exogeneity was conducted and proved that the expenditure variable included in the estimated equations is indeed exogenous. The exogeneity of the expenditure variable provides...

Firm-Level Competition in Price and Variety
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Richards,   Timothy J.; Patterson,   Paul M.
Consumer product manufacturers often compete in dynamic, multi-firm oligopolies using multiple strategic tools. While existing empirical models of strategic interaction typically consider only parts of the more general problem, this paper presents a more comprehensive alternative. Marketing decision are dynamically optimal, consistent with optimal consumer choice, and responsive to rival decisions. Using a single-market case study that consists of five years of four-weekly data on ready-to-eat cereal sales, prices, and new brand introductions, we test several hypotheses regarding the nature of strategic interaction among several rival manufacturers. We find that cereal manufacturers price and introduce new brands cooperatively in the same period, but...

Market Share and Price Setting Behavior For Private Labels and National Brands
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cotterill,   Ronald W.; Putsis,   William P., Jr.; Dhar,   Ravi.
In this paper, we develop a framework for estimating market share and price reaction equations in an attempt to understand the nature of competitive interaction in the market for private label and branded grocery products. Specifically, we employ a Linear Approximate Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS, Deaton and Muellbauer 1980a), and specify the price reaction equations derived under the LA/AIDS demand specification. This enables us to consistently estimate shareprice relationships, accounting for demand-side and competitive reactions simultaneously. The incorporation of LA/AIDS demands into a structural equation framework represents an important departure from previous demand specifications in competitive analysis. In addition to its rigorous...

FUNCTIONAL FORM SPECIFICATION IN THE QUARTERLY DEMAND FOR RED MEATS IN CANADA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kulshreshtha,   Surendra N.
Most demand studies, particularly those for food products, choose somewhat arbitrarily either a linear or a log-linear functional form. Since choice of functional form has implications for elasticities and their properties over time, either form may be considered restrictive. An empirical test of functional form in the short-run (quarterly) demand for four red meats is presented in this paper. For beef demand, neither a linear nor a log-linear form is appropriate. Similarly for pork and lamb demand, a linear functional form is not appropriate, but the log-linear one is. For veal demand, although data supported both function forms, a linear form is preferred when seasonal influences are accounted for.

This study investigates the demand for selected healthy food groups in the United States. The original linear approximate almost ideal demand system (LA/AIDS) is modified by the use of a Laspeyres index and a normalization in order to compute demand elasticities identically to the AIDS model. The results of this study suggest that poultry is the most price elastic while cereals are the least price elastic. Fresh fruits and fresh vegetables are more price elastic than processed fruits and processed vegetables. Increasing income would induce the increases in the consumption of fresh vegetables and fruits more than that of cereals and bakery products, while increasing health risk concerns would induce the decreases in the consumption of bakery products and...

THE EFFECTS OF E.E.C. PRICES ON IRISH AGRICULTURE
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: O'Neill,   Fergus.
Though the importance of agriculture to the Irish economy is declining, it is and will be in the foreseeable future a major - if not the largest - sector. The decline in its relative importance is due to the more rapid growth of other sectors and to the long term and worldwide phenomenon of declining agricultural populations.  The significance of agriculture may be measured in terms of income generated, numbers employed, and its contribution to the balance of payments.  The latter is of particular importance to a small economy heavily dependent on international trade and suffering from a chronic balance of payments problem.

Dynamic Contingent Valuation and Choice Modelling for Ecosystem Services
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hertzler,   Greg.
Non market valuation and bio economic modelling are combined in a dynamic model of ecosystem services. A mathematical proof demonstrates that the imputed price of natural capital contains all non market values and that scarcity rent is the total value of ecosystem services. A dynamic demand system, including characteristics is derived. New methods are developed for dynamic welfare analysis and both revealed and stated preference methods are proposed for estimating the price of natural capital. Estimation is simple if we avoid surveying consumers who degrade the ecosystem and instead consult owners who accrue the scarcity rent and conserve for the future.

The Effects of BioFuels Policies on Global Commodity Trade Flows

Autores: Fridfinnson,   Brooke; Rude,   James.
In terms of the global situation, trade is biofuels is small relative to world-wide production; however, given ambitious consumption mandates in many developed countries as well as increasing energy consumption, this will not likely remain the case in the long-run. Although biodiesel has been classified as an industrial good, ethanol is currently marketed as an agricultural product, though not specifically for fuel use. The removal of trade barriers, particularly in the developed countries, would not only ease pressure on the traditional feedstocks and lower world ethanol prices, but allow countries with a comparative advantage to capitalize on the opportunity to produce low-cost biofuel. Whether the removal of these trade barriers on biofuels would affect...

What Does the “Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act” Mean to Tobacco Growers?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Tiller,   Kelly; Starnes,   Jane H.; Feleke,   Shiferaw T.
The “Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act” was signed into law on June 22, 2009. The bill grants the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) an authority to regulate the manufacturing and marketing of tobacco products. Tobacco leaf is not subject to the regulation. As a result, it is not apparent what it does mean to tobacco growers. However, since the demand for tobacco is in large part determined by the demand for cigarettes, a change in demand for cigarettes due to the FDA regulation can affect the demand for tobacco. This paper explores the economic welfare consequences of the bill to tobacco growers.

COMBINATIONS OF BUFFER-STOCKS AND BUFFER-FUNDS FOR WOOL PRICE STABILISATION IN AUSTRALIA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Moir,   Brian; Piggott,   Roley R.
In this paper a preliminary analysis is presented of a combined buffer-fund and buffer-stock as an alternative to a pure buffer-fund or a pure buffer stock for stabilising wool prices. The alternatives analysed are designed so that each provides the same prices to producers as did the Reserve Price Scheme over the period of analysis. Least-cost combinations of policy instruments are derived. The results show that there is considerable potential for cost savings to be made by combining buffer-fund and buffer-stock instruments.

A Hedonic Pricing Model for German Wine
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Schamel,   Guenter.
We develop a hedonic pricing model for German quality wine. Quality indicators for 4,141 wines are sensory awards received at the annual German wine competition and the legally required quality category as well as a set of control variables including regional origin, color, style, and their age at the time of judging. The data confirms that sensory quality awards have a significant and positive price impact. Moreover, we estimate significant relative differences between quality categories, growing regions and most of the control variables.

In many countries, consumption of fruits and vegetables (F&amp;V) is below recommended levels. We quantify the economic and health effects of F&amp;V stamp policy designed for low income consumers. The analysis combined two models: an economic model which predicts how F&amp;V consumption is affected by a change in policy and a health model which evaluates the impact of a change in F&amp;V consumption in terms of death avoided (DA) and life-years saved (LYS). Finally we computed the costs per DA and LYS as the ratio between the taxpayer cost of the policy and the number of DA and LYS. The main findings of the present study are: (1) F&amp;V stamp policy has a positive and significant impact on the consumption of small F&amp;V consumers of the targeted...

Demand for Organic and Conventional Fruits
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lin,   Biing-Hwan; Yen,   Steven T.; Huang,   Chung L.
We examine consumer demand for organic and conventional fruits by estimating a censored demand system, using Nielsen's Homescan data. Sociodemographic characteristics and income are found to be significant factors of organic fruit consumption. Consumers are responsive to own-price changes in selected organic fruits, while the own-price elasticities for conventional fruits are much smaller. Asymmetric cross-price effects are found between organic and conventional fruits, suggesting that a change in relative prices will more likely cause consumers of conventional fruits to "cross-over" to organic fruits, while the reverse is less likely to happen such that organic consumers will "revert" to conventional fruits.

Autores: Neibergs,   J. Shannon; Thalheimer,   Richard.
Limited information is available concerning price determination in the thoroughbred yearling market. A recursive model incorporating price expectations and biological constraints is used to estimate supply and demand functions for thoroughbred horses. Empirical results characterize a market with inelastic supply and elastic demand that converges to equilibrium under static conditions. Purses were identified as the most influential variable impacting price. Comparative statics illustrate the effectiveness of purses as a policy instrument for the thoroughbred industry. Federal tax policy also was found to have a significant impact on the decisions to breed or invest in thoroughbred yearlings.

SOYBEANS QUALITY PRICE DIFFERENTIALS FROM AN ELEVATOR'S PERSPECTIVE
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Murova,   Olga I.; Mumma,   Gerald A.; Hudson,   Darren; Couvillion,   Warren C.
Soybean prices are determined by interaction between various factors.  At an elevator, discount prices for unique characteristics can range from 0.02 cents per bushel to 7.71 cents per bushel of soybeans.  This variation suggests that producers of soybeans need quality-characteristic specific information concerning soybeans pricing at the market.  This study uses a hedonic model to evaluate price differentials associated with soybean quality based on grain elevator data during the 1998 production period.  Foreign material, moisture, bean damage, and net weight were found to significantly influence the cash price of soybeans.

The specification and estimation of models of consumer and producer demand with kink points are considered. The presence of kink points divides the demand or production schedule into different regimes. Our approach utilizes the concept of virtual prices. The virtual prices transform binding quantities into nonbinding ones and provide a rigorous justification for structural change in the observed demand functions across regimes. The comparison of virtual prices with market prices determines regime occurences. An application to energy demand in Indonesian manufacturing firms based on the translog cost function is provided.

Agricultural trade between the U.S. and Mexico has become progressively liberalized over the past 20 years, with significant increases in bilateral trade in many sectors. The rice sector in both nations, however, continues to be highly protected, with producers and millers on both sides of the border continuing to protest the other nation's protectionist policies. This paper examines market efficiency and spatial price integration in ten U.S. and Mexican rice markets over the 1998-2002 period, during which a retaliatory antidumping duty was imposed by Mexico.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Anderson,   John D.; Ward,   Clement E.; Koontz,   Stephen R.; Peel,   Derrell S.; Trapp,   James N.
Federal budgetary pressures raise questions regarding the importance of public market information. This study assesses the impact of price discovery and production efficiency of reducing public price and quantity information. The amount and type of information provided to Fed Cattle Market Simulator (FCMS) participants was varied by periodically withholding current and weekly summary information according to a predetermined experimental design. Results show that reducing information increased price variance and decreased marketing efficiency; that is, more cattle were delivered at weights deviating from 1,150 pounds- the least-cost marketing weight in the simulator. These factors, which increase costs, make the industry less competitive.

Autores: Muth,   Mary K.; Zhen,   Chen; Taylor,   Justin; Cates,   Sheryl; Kosa,   Katherine M.; Zorn,   David; Choiniere,   Conrad J.
Food manufacturers have an incentive to include nutrient content claims, health claims, or other types of labeling statements on foods if they believe that consumers will be willing to pay more for products with specific attributes. We estimated semi-log hedonic price regressions for five breakfast bar and cereal product categories using Nielsen ScanTrack scanner data for 2004 and found that labeling statements for these foods are often associated with substantial increases in consumer willingness to pay. The largest effects were associated with “carb-conscious” carbohydrate labeling (reflecting the time period of the data), followed by fat and sugar content labeling statements.

Autores: Adams,   Charles M.; Prochaska,   Fred J.; Spreen,   Thomas H.
The monthly and quarterly price determination processes for 31-40 and 21-25 size classes of raw-headless shrimp were examined to determine price leadership between market levels.  Causal relationships were assessed using Haugh-Pierce, Sims, and Granger methods.  Price models at the retail, wholesale, and exvessel market levels were estimated.  Economic factors analyzed were income, prices of competing products, landings and imports of raw headless shrimp, total retail supply, beginning stocks, and marketing costs.  Monthly prices generally exhibited unidirectional causality from exvessel to retail price.  Quarterly prices were determined interdependently among market levels.  Price responses between market levels were found to by symmetric with beginning...

The demand for alcohol: a meta-analysis of elasticities
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gallet,   Craig A.
Numerous studies have estimated elasticities of alcohol demand using different procedures. Because of widespread differences in demand estimates, however, it is difficult to synthesise the literature into coherent meaning. This study improves our understanding of alcohol demand by reporting results from a meta-analysis of 132 studies. Specifically, regressing estimated price, income and advertising elasticities of alcohol on variables accounting for study characteristics, we find alcohol elasticities to be particularly sensitive to demand specification, data issues and various estimation methods. Furthermore, compared to other alcoholic beverages, beer elasticities tend to be more inelastic.

The role of consumers’ perceptions in the valuation of food safety and convenience attributes of vegetables in Vietnam
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mergenthaler,   Marcus; Weinberger,   Katinka; Qaim,   Matin.
Food systems in developing countries are undergoing a profound transformation characterized by the emergence and expansion of modern retailers and integrated supply chains. Appropriate policies are needed to guide this transformation, presupposing a good understanding of consumer preferences. We analyze consumers’ valuation of different vegetable attributes in metropolitan areas of Vietnam, using contingent valuation techniques and a mediation framework for two specific examples. Consumers are willing to pay an average price premium of 60% for Chinese mustard that is free of chemical residues and of 19% for different convenience attributes of potatoes. Income levels and media have positive impacts on the willingness to pay, partly mediated through...

Modern food retailers and traditional markets in developing countries: Comparing quality, prices, and competition strategies in Thailand
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Schipmann,   Christin; Qaim,   Matin.
Supermarkets and hypermarkets are expanding rapidly in many developing countries. While consequences for farmers and consumers were analyzed recently, little is known about the implications for traditional retail formats such as wet markets. Using data from a market survey in Thailand and hedonic regression models, we analyze quality and prices for fresh vegetables from different retail outlets. Compared to wet markets, modern retailers sell higher quality at higher prices, indicating that they are primarily targeting better-off consumers. Hence, they are not directly competing for the same market segments. Yet there are signs that modern and traditional markets will gradually converge.

The study of spatial price relationships helps to explain market performance and the degree of market integration.  This paper provides an empirical analysis of the long- and short-run price linkages in the olive oil market of the Mediterranean using Time Series techniques. The empirical results suggest the existence of a stable long-run relationships among prices in Spain, Italy, and Greece. They also suggest that the major producer and exporter (Spain) is the price leader while Greece and Italy are the followers.

Firm-specific information, product differentiation, and industry equilibrium
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Perloff,   Jeffrey M.; Salop,   Steven.
Where consumers have imperfect information about specific firms’ prices and lack information about the market, firms have informational market power. In general, improving the consumer’s information about each firm’s price will not necessarily lower average market price. We show, however, that certain types of improvements will lower price. Moreover, a reduction in barriers to entry (e.g., capital costs) will lower price-holding information constant. Where a significant number (but not all) consumers have perfect information, single-price equilibria are impossible.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Falk,   Constance L.
The impacts of meat pricing on selected financial results for the Cattlemen’'s Texas Longhorn Beef Cooperative, Inc. were investigated in a stochastic simulation model.  Triangular price distributions for boxed beef and various carcasses categories were specified for each month and correlated, based on 2000 USDA carlot meat report data.  Hot-carcass weights were also modeled as triangular distributions.    At 5,000 head and with meat prices 12% over USDA prices the probability of net profits before taxes (NPBT) falling below $0 was 1.3%.  At 10,000 head and payments 9% over USDA prices there was an 11.8% chance of NPBT falling below $0.

COMPENSATING VARIATION WITHOUT APOLOGY?  WILLINGNESS-TO-PAY AND THE FAILURE OF INTEGRABILITY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Just,   Richard E.; Gilligan,   Daniel O.
Failure of integrability is shown to cause path-dependence of willingness-to-pay measures of welfare change.  Using the linear expenditure system, effects of failure of integrability are negligible (substantial) for estimating income (price) elasticities.  For single price changes, Hausman's approach to calculating willingness to pay from ordinary demands becomes subject to excessive errors of estimation.  For multiple price changes, calculations of willingness to pay become path dependent.  The empirical approach of Vartia to calculation of willingness to pay for multiple price changes thus involves an arbitrary choice of path.  Furthermore, the Willig results justifying consumer surplus approximation fail.

The lead-lag relationships present in the regional price discovery process are important indicators of market performance. Differences across markets in the speed of adjustment to evolving information may have implications for pricing efficiency within these markets. This study estimates intertemporal price relationships among 11 regional slaughter cattle markets. Larger volume markets, located in the major cattle feeding regions, were the dominant price discovery locations. Price adjustments across markets were complete in one to two weeks in the large volume markets located relatively close to each other and in two to three weeks in the more remote, smaller volume markets.

Autores: Carpio,   Carlos E.; Isengildina-Massa,   Olga.
This study evaluated the impact of the South Carolina (SC) agricultural promotion campaign after its first season. Analysis of the survey data revealed that consumer demand for state grown produce has increased by 3.4% which could result in an increase in producer surplus of $2.9 million. Since the SC Department of Agriculture invested $500,000 in the promotion program in 2007, this figure indicates a benefit-cost ratio of 5.8.

Globalization and competitiveness of agricultural commodities could have significant potential benefits for food security and poverty reduction in West Africa. Participation in global trade and economy is potentially important but not enough to ensure benefits at all levels of the chains and equitable distribution of income for each participant. Efficiency is key in the commodity value chain, but effective support functions and services, infrastructure, legal and policy environment are important. This paper presents the framework of value chain concept and analysis, as a guide to enhance competitiveness of commodities at national, regional or global level. The paper applies the value chain framework to a case study on mango in Benin, West Africa. The...

How do Smoking Bans in Bars/Restaurants Affect Alcohol Consumption?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Koksal,   Aycan; Wohlgenant,   Michael K.
In this study, we employ a rational addiction framework to analyze the effects of smoking bans on alcohol consumption in bars/restaurants. We use pseudo panel data approach which has many advantages compared to panel data. Although cigarettes and alcohol are complements in consumption, our findings suggest that smoking bans in restaurants do not have a significant effect on the restaurant alcohol consumption. It is possible that smoking bans at restaurants cause a decrease in the restaurant alcohol consumption of smokers, but lead to an increase in the restaurant alcohol consumption of nonsmokers. If this is the case, the  net effect of smoking bans on overall restaurant alcohol consumption would be zero. These results are just preliminary, and further...

Elasticities of demand for meat imports in Russia are estimated using an AIDS model.  The model differentiates among sources of imports as well as kinds of meat, but since the number of observations on Russian imports is limited, an improved block-substitutability restriction is introduced to conserve degress of freedom.  The estimates of expenditure elasticities are positive for beef, pork, and chicken imported from western countries, and for beef and chicken, are larger than one.  The expenditure elasticities are negative for beef and pork imported from former Soviet trade block countries.  (Chicken is not imported from these countries.)  Consistent with logic, the (compensated) cross-price elasticities indicate that products imported from different...

This paper analyses the relationship between monthly observations on farm level and retail level prices of three meats, seven fresh vegetables, five fresh fruits, eggs and cereals over the 1970's. A priori reasoning and results of Sim's casuality tests suggest that in most cases changes in farm prices cause changes in retail prices rather than the reverse or a simultaneous relationship. Markup price relationships are estimated. Most of the variation of retail prices is explained by the current farm price, lagged farm prices, a wage variable, and last period's retail price of a substitute product.

Nutrient Demand Elasticities with Noisy Measures of Household Resources
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gibson,   John.
Many studies suggest that changes in household economic resources (incomes and expenditure) have little effect on nutrient intakes and child malnutrition in developing countries. This paper examines the impact that errors-in-variables have on inferences about the importance of household incomes to the calorie and protein demands of households. Results are based on a new household survey from Papua New Guinea, with repeated observations on households during the year. These repeated observations allow regression estimates to be corrected for the differing reliabilities of the explanatory variables.

Many different classes of wheat are grown in Michigan's agriculture sector but only two types of wheat are grown to any significant degree.  Easily the most dominant type of wheat grown is soft white wheat which is a sub-class of white wheat.  The other class of wheat grown in Michigan is soft red wheat.  Since these two wheat crops comprise consistently over 90% of the wheat acreage in Michigan this analysis will only be concerned with them.  The purpose of this study is to examine the trade-offs in producing and marketing soft white and soft red wheat in Michigan for the purpose of identifying optimal strategies for the participants.  The uses of both types of wheat will be examined as well as the impact of new technology on the substitutability of soft...

Demand for Organic Food: Focus Group Discussions in Armidale, NSW
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Zepeda,   Lydia; Chang,   Hui-Shung (Christie).
In Australia, the retail value of organic food production was estimated at A$250 million, with farm gate value at around A$90 million, and exports at around A$40 million.  The current share of organic sales in total food sales in Australia is about 1 per cent.  The growth rate in organic production was forecast to continue at 10-30% per annum.  Despite the positive outlook, there are concerns about consumer confusion over product recognition, organic certification, and misleading advertising.  To understand how demand for organic products is changing, it is important to investigate consumer attitudes and knowledge about these issues.  The objective of this study is to identify issues that may hinder or promote demand.  Given the qualitative nature of these...

The objective of this paper is to analyze the Spanish demand for food taking into account the consumer's concern about the relationship between food diet and health.  This concern is forcing food demand analysts to assume that consumer utility is a function of nutrients instead of simply the food products themselves.  A CBS demand model has been considered to model the new demand function obtained, which is estimated with a complete panel data set.  Ten broad categories, nine nutrients and the most relevant socio-economic variables have been considered.  Finally, after an appropriate model selection strategy, expenditure, price and nutrient elasticities, as well as main sociodemographic effects, have been calculated.

Autores: Bolotova,   Yuliya; McIntosh,   Christopher S.; Muthusamy,   Kalamani; Patterson,   Paul E.
High potato price volatility, decreasing demand for fresh potatoes and prices below the cost of production led to a decision of a number of Idaho potato growers to organize the United Fresh Potato Growers of Idaho, a marketing cooperative. The programs and strategies of the cooperative target both the production and marketing of fresh potatoes in Idaho. To evaluate the effectiveness of the programs implemented by the cooperative, we examine the level and volatility of fresh potato prices during two periods: before the cooperative was organized and when the cooperative is in the market. We find empirical evidence suggesting that fresh potato prices were higher and less volatile during the period when the cooperative was in the market.

ANALYSIS OF DRY BEAN PRICE BEHAVIOR IN BURUNDI
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ndarusigiye,   Mevin.
Dry bean production and price statistics for Burundi from 1972 to 1987 indicate significant year-to-year (bean production) and monthly (bean prices) fluctuations.  These fluctuations are influenced by, among other things, climatic conditions, unpredictable markets, government policy, and phytopathological factors.  The objective of the study is to analyze the behavior of dry bean production in Burundi under uncertain prices and assess the degree of uncertainty for the period 1972-1987.  The hypotheses are that dry bean prices in Burundi are uncertain, and that annual dry bean production per capita has been falling because of dry bean price uncertainty.  Two types of regressions models, one with average annual data and another with monthly real price data,...

Autores: Hone,   Phillip; Haszler,   Henry; Natasiwai,   Tevita.
The agricultural sector is a central part of the Fiji Islands economy. Policies to alleviate poverty and stimulate economic growth need to be based on a sound understanding of the local agricultural systems involved. This understanding needs to extend to the responsiveness of production to price changes. To date there have been no published quantitative estimates of the responsiveness of agricultural supply in Fiji to output price changes. In this paper we present a set of highly disaggregated supply elasticities covering many of the major food crops produced and consumed in Fiji. These results have been derived from a stated intention survey of rural households. The results appear consistent with the dual nature of Fiji's agricultural sector and show that...

Consumers’ willingness to pay for food safety: the case of mycotoxins in milk
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Sckokai,   Paolo; Moro,   Daniele; Cuomo,   Enrica.
European statistics show that one of the most widespread source of health risks related to food is mycotoxins. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the Italian consumers’ perception of the mycotoxins’ risk and, more specifically, their willingness-to-pay (WTP) for a hypothetical bottle of milk obtained by cows in which the feed ration contains maize certified for the ‘good practices’ that reduce such risk. For this purpose, a web-based stated choice (SC) experiment involving a representative sample of 973 Italian consumers has been carried out and WTP has been measured using the panel data version of a Random Parameters Logit (RPL) model. The results show that Italian consumers are willing to pay a rather high average price premium for...

Effects of Media Coverage on Demand
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dierks,   Leef H.
Food safety crises usually receive widespread publicity and an extensive media coverage which evidently is mainly negative. Based on previous research, the purpose of this article is to illustrate the impact of positive and negative food safety information on demand both in the short and long term.  Apparently, asymmetric effects of media coverage provoke a shift in the consumers' perception of risk and, in a subsequent step, their reactions. This cycle shall be investigated and explained in detail since it improves the prospects for a prediction of consumers' reactions to food safety crises. Results will contribute to the European Commission's research project Food Risk Communication and Consumers' Trust in the Food Supply Chain - TRUST.

Demand for Pasture-Raised Livestock Products: Results from Michigan Retail Surveys
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Conner,   David S.; Oppenheim,   Diana.
Pasture-raised livestock production offers opportunity for product differentiation and enhanced sustainability. Shopper surveys at three Michigan retail locations measured consumers’ attitudes and beliefs regarding pasture-raised livestock products, and willingness to pay for pasture-raised milk and beef. The shoppers associate pasture-raised products with attributes important to purchase decisions. The shoppers express willingness to pay, on average, about 35% more for pasture-raised milk and beef. Informational messages appear to have no effect on these responses. We suggest pasture-raised is a viable marketing strategy and recommend premium pricing strategies and promotion based on verifiable health benefits.

Detecting COOL Impacts on US-Canada Bilateral Hog and Pork Trade Flows
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Rude,   James; Gervais,   Jean-Philippe; Felt,   Marie-Helene.
Country of Origin Labelling (COOL) regulation has been applied in the United States meat sector since October 2008. The industry must label beef, lamb and pork (ground meat and muscle cuts) sold through retail outlets according to its country of origin. The labelling requirements create differentiation at the retail level and may impose additional costs on producers, processors and retailers in the U.S. and elsewhere. The purpose of this analysis is to investigate whether there has been structural change in U.S. import demand for Canadian hog/pork products. Given that COOL has been in place for a limited period of time, we implement statistical procedures that are robust to structural change occurring at the end of the sample. We find evidence that COOL...

Price Volatility, Nonlinearity, and Asymmetric Adjustments in Corn, Soybean, and Cattle Markets: Implications of Ethanol-Driven (Market) Shocks
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Tejeda,   Hernan A.; Goodwin,   Barry K.
Grain prices have risen sharply since 2005 and 2006 affecting livestock markets by increasing feed prices and leading to significant volatility shocks. The high price levels and magnitude of sustained high volatilities has raised concerns for many sectors of the economy, in particular those with direct relation to these markets. Policy makers are analyzing the interrelationships among these markets, and the effects of energy market shocks on agricultural markets. This study considers a threshold structure in a multivariate time-series model that evaluates these market linkages, capturing asymmetric correlations between grain and livestock prices, including volatility spillovers. We empirically study the impact of corn usage for ethanol production in the...

Discovering Production and Supply Relationships: Present Status and Future Opportunities
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Just,   Richard E.
In this paper the current state of supply modelling in agriculture is reviewed. It is argued that (I) the stock of knowledge of elasticities is depreciating, (2) historical estimates are misleading because many phenomena are confounded in few parameters, (3) available data are not being efficiently exploited, and (4) a proliferation of hypotheses is leading to an inability to discriminate in an appropriately comprehensive context. The latter problem is leading to an inability to do forward-looking analyses. Several suggestions are made for dealing with these problems that involve some relaxation of the standard of objectivity which in reality is unattainable in many kinds of practical applied work.

FORECASTING CATTLE PRICES IN THE PRESENCE OF STRUCTURAL CHANGE
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Goodwin,   Barry K.
Recent empirical research and development in the cattle industry suggest several reasons to suspect structural change in economic relationships determining cattle prices.  Standard forecasting models may ignore structural change and may produce biased and misleading forecasts.  Vector autoregressive (VAR) models that allow parameters to vary with time are used to forecast quarterly cattle prices.  The VAR procedures are flexible in that they allow the identification of structural change that begins at an a priori unknown point and occurs gradually.  The results indicate that the lowest RMSE for out-of-sample forecasts of cattle prices is obtained using a gradually switching VAR model.  However, differences between the gradually switching VAR model and a...

Do milk marketing orders affect various demographic groups differently? To answer this question, we use supermarket scanner data to estimate an incomplete demand system for dairy products. We use these estimates to simulate substitution among dairy products and the welfare impacts of price changes resulting from changes in milk marketing orders for various consumer groups. While we find little difference in own- and cross-price substitution elasticities of demand, the welfare effects of price changes vary substantially across demographic groups, with some losing and others winning from this government program.

COMMODITY PRICES REVISITED
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Tomek,   William G.
Empirical models of commodity prices are potentially important aids to decision-makers, especially as the economy has grown more complex. A typical time series of commodity prices exhibits positive autocorrelation, occasional spikes, and random variability, and conceptual models have been developed to explain this behavior. But, the leap from theory to empirical applications is large because of model specification and data quality problems. When modeling price expectations, for example, should a price series be deflated and if so, by what deflator? The choice can have a large effect on empirical results. Nonetheless, it is possible in some applications to obtain relatively stable-estimates of structural parameters that are useful for addressing specific...

Autores: Dhar,   Tirtha Pratim; Foltz,   Jeremy D.
This study uses revealed preferences of consumers to study the consumer benefits from soy milk.  The study specifies and estimates structural demand and reduced form models of competition for different milk types using US supermarket scanner data.  The introduction of soy milk is used to estimate consumer benefits and valuations.  We decompose benefits into two components, competitive and variety effects.  Results show relatively small consumer benefits from soy milk.

Over the last few years, the production of renewable fuels has increased dramatically.  Rising oil prices, limited supplies of fossil fuel, and increased concerns about global warming have created a growing demand for renewable energy sources.  Both the ethanol and biodiesel industries have experienced tremendous growth in the past few years.  The production of these fuels is highly dependent on the availability of agricultural feedstocks.  This research examined the covariability between crude oil prices and corn, sorghum, sugar, soybeans, soybean oil, and palm oil prices during the 2003-2007 time period.  Johansen cointegration tests revealed no cointegrating relationships during the 2003-2005 time frame.  However, corn prices and soybean prices were...

Vector autoregression was utilized to investigate dynamic relationships existing between prices of purebred bulls and prices of slaughter steers, utility cows, feeder calves, and cow-calf pairs.  Results suggest purebred bull prices respond most quickly to an increase in utility cow prices (proxy for slaughter bull prices).  Feeder calf prices exhibited the most pronounced positive effect on the price of herd sires, with a lagged response which took over two years to build.

SUPPLY RESPONSE AND IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT-SUPPORTED CROPS ON THE TEXAS VEGETABLE INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ornelas,   Fermin S.; Shumway,   C. Richard.
Supply functions, elasticity estimates, and nonjointness test results consistently indicated that few commodities compete economically in the production of six major Texas vegetables (cabbage, cantaloupes, carrots, onions, potatoes, and watermelons). Significant bias effects caused by government-supported commodities, fixed inputs, and technological change were observed and measured. Nonnested test results for the hypothesis of sequential decision making by vegetable producers were inconclusive, but they gave greater likelihood support to sequential than to contemporaneous decision making.

Autores: Gregory,   Christian A.; Coleman-Jensen,   Alisha.
In this paper, we estimate the effect of food prices on food insecurity for SNAP recipients using data from the Current Population Survey and the recently published Quarterly Food At Home Price Database. We form a local food price index based on amounts of food for a household of four as established by the Thrifty Food Plan. We use an econometric model that accounts for the endogeneity of SNAP receipt to food insecurity and for household-level unobservables. We find that the average effect of food prices on the probability of food insecurity is positive and significant: an increase of one standard deviation in the price of our food basket is associated with an increase in food insecurity of between 1.3 and 2  percentage points for SNAP households.

EFFECTS OF THE SUSPENSION AGREEMENT: U.S.-MEXICO FRESH TOMATOES ANTIDUMPING CASE
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jung,   Jione.
This paper analyzes the effects of the suspension agreement of the U.S.-Mexico fresh tomatoes antidumping cases on U.S. consumers. A linear and dynamic version of an inverse almost ideal demand system is developed to estimate consumer behavior. The measure of consumer welfare – compensating and equivalent variations – is derived specifically for the inverse demand system. The variation of cross-price flexibilities obviously reduced since the minimum export price system came into effect, but consumer welfare does not seem to change much in the circumstance. The consumers’ budget share on domestic fresh tomatoes is likely to reduce and it suggests that the suspension agreement may not guarantee the profit of domestic producers either.

Commodity prices have been rising at unprecedented rates over the last two years.  The primary objective of this paper is to assess if and how firms pass through upstream cost increases to final good prices.  First, we investigate what happens to the shelf prices (the regular prices) of goods that contain significant amounts of a commodity whose price has changed.  The objective is to document patterns of price rigidity depending on the share of the commodity in the final good that is sold to consumers.  For example, given an abnormal commodity price change in wheat, what happens to the shelf regular price of bread, wheat cereals, and other goods that contain wheat?  Commodity pass-through patterns for ready to eat cereal (smallest share of commodity in...

Modelling Reference-Dependent and Labelling Effects in Consumers’ Functional Food Choices
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Zou,   Ning Ning (Helen).
This paper examines the reference-dependent and labelling effects when consumers make choices about functional foods, and explores how changes in reference points could alter individuals’ preferences. Functional food (Omega 3 milk) and regular food (regular milk) are used as examples to explore the potential reference-dependent effects and labelling effects. A consumer utility model with reference point effects is developed. The paper also explores how to model the effects of different labelling (health claim) policies, which could influence consumer preferences by changing consumers’ reference points.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fraser,   Rob W.
Motivated by recent EC proposals to “strengthen risk management tools” in the CAP in relation to farmers’ increased exposure to market price risk, this paper draws attention to a potential negative consequence of such a change in the CAP – an associated increase in cheating behaviour by farmers in the context of environmental stewardship. A theoretical framework for this policy problem is developed and used not just to illustrate the problem, but also to propose a solution – specifically to combine the introduction of CAP-supported policy changes which reduce farmers’ exposure to market-based risk with changes in environmental stewardship policies which increase the riskiness of cheating and thereby discourage such behaviour.

Biotechnology crop traits have been applied on a widespread commercial global basis since 1996, making it the most rapidly adopted crop technology in agriculture. The primary biotechnologies used have included technology delivering herbicide tolerance and insect resistance for crops, such as corn, soybeans, cotton, and canola. This technology has provided farmers with productivity improvements through a combination of yield improvements and cost reductions. Thus, this technology has had an impact on prices of cereals and oilseeds (and their derivatives) both in countries where biotech traits were applied and in the global market. Realizing the surging significance of biotechnology application in global crop markets, this study first summarizes the...

Price Effects from an Anticipated Meatpacking Plant Opening and Unexpected Plant Closing
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ward,   Clement E.; Hornung,   Jonathan T.
Livestock producers primarily, but policy makers also, have an interest in market effects from meatpacking plant closings and openings. This article presents results from a study to determine price impacts from an anticipated hog slaughtering plant opening and an unexpected fed cattle slaughtering plant closing. The estimated price effects for each plant event were modeled with price difference and partial adjustment models. The plant opening resulted in higher absolute and relative hog prices in the Provincial market where the plant was located. However, adverse price impacts from the fed cattle plant closing were less evident.

Explaining Variations in the Price of Dairy Quota: Flow Returns, Liquidity, Quota Characteristics, and Policy Risk
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Wilson,   Norbert L.W.; Sumner,   Daniel A.
An econometric model based on the net present value model is used to examine factors that drive the variation of California dairy quota values over a 29-year period. The results suggest the price of quota is based on expected returns, variations in quota owner liquidity, and the risk of policy default. The dominant influence on the variation of the quota price was the historical variation in monthly flow of net benefits from owning quota. This analysis confirms that the rate of return to quota rises in periods of policy uncertainty.

TESTING FOR CHANGES IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE DEMAND FOR MEAT IN AUSTRALIA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Martin,   William J.; Porter,   Darrell.
Quarterly data from 1962 to 1983 for beef, lamb, mutton, pig meat and poultry were used to test for constancy in the structure of meat demand in Australia. The cumulative sum, cumulative sum of squares and Farley-Hinich tests were applied to a range of models to ensure that any rejection of stability was not due to an inappropriate functional form or omitted dynamics. Little evidence was found of a marked swing away from consumption of any meat, with the exception of mutton. The results suggest that changes in prices and in total consumer expenditure are far more important than changes in tastes as determinants of meat consumption.

While the U.S. remains the world’'s largest coffee importer, consumption of the good has dramatically changed in the past few decades.  This study evaluates the influences of U.S. consumption habits, prices of coffees by origin, prices of near substitutes, U.S. income, the ICA, and NAFTA on U.S. consumption of three categories of Arabica coffee- Colombian milds, Mexican and other milds, and Brazilian.  Results indicate that U.S. consumption of Mexican coffee is sensitive to its own price; price of Colombian coffee, which appears to be its largest competitor; and ICA controls.  Under NAFTA, Mexico appears well positioned to gain increased U.S. market share of shade-grown mild Arabica coffee.

Evidence of price premiums for non-GM grains in world markets
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Foster,   Max.
World markets for a number of grains (soybeans, corn, canola and cottonseed) have become differentiated into GM, certified non-GM and organic segments, which has created opportunities and challenges for grain market participants. This paper summarises the evidence to date on the extent of price premiums for non-GM products throughout the world. A broad economic framework is employed to explain the observed pattern of price premiums. The key conclusion of the analysis is that world grains markets for which there are GM variants are dominated by GM grains, but there are niches for certified non-GM and organically produced grains, for which price premiums are paid. With some certified non-GM grains for a specific purpose, price premiums appear to be...

Using three years of Nielson Homescan and advertising data from 16 major metropolitan areas across the U.S. to construct a panel data set that follows weekly consumer purchasing behavior, this paper investigates the impact of marketing activities on a representative cross-section of U.S. consumers. Because many consumers do not participate in the market week-in and week-out, I apply Heckman’s econometric selection model to recover the impact of pricing, advertising, and promotion on a wide range of consumer segments. Reduced-form estimates of consumer responsiveness to these marketing activities reveal different effects across consumer segments, which have numerous implications for marketing policy.

RECREATIONAL AND AESTHETIC VALUE OF WATER USING HEDONIC PRICE ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lansford,   Notie H., Jr.; Jones,   Lonnie L.
Historically, water allocation focused on quantities demanded by consumptive uses. As quantity demand grows, efficient allocation among consumptive and nonconsumptive uses becomes more critical. This hedonic approach provides information regarding recreational and aesthetic (RA) value for a central Texas lake. The model indicates several statistically significant RA characteristics of housing; proximity is the most important. Waterfront properties command a premium, but marginal RA price falls rapidly with increasing distance. Marginal RA values are estimated for selected water levels and are found to have a lower marginal price per acre-foot than many agricultural uses.

Contract and Exit Decisions in Finisher Hog Production
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dong,   Fengxia; Hennessy,   David A.; Jensen,   Helen H.
Finisher hog production in North America has seen a shift toward larger production units and contract-organized production since circa 1990. Given the efficiency gains and conversion costs associated with contract production, growers may have to choose between long term commitment through investments and atrophy with intent to exit in the intermediate term. A model is developed to show that growers with any of three efficiency attributes (lower innate hazard of exit, variable costs, or fixed contract adoption costs) are not only more likely to contract but will also produce more and expend more on lowering business survival risks. Using the 2004 U.S. Agricultural Resource Management Survey for hogs, a recursive bivariate probit model is estimated in which...

The Effects of the Micro-Market Structure for Kansas Grain Elevators on Spatial Grain Price Differentials
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: O'Brien,   Daniel M.
Corn and wheat cash prices in Kansas are affected by a number of local supply-demand, market structure, transportation access and other factors. Kansas corn prices in 2008 were affected by form of business organization, local feedgrain production and livestock feed usage, elevator storage capacity, access to railroad grain handling facilities, and to a limited degree by the number of competitors in local markets. Geographic proximity to grain ethanol plants did not have a positive impact on local corn prices, although a number of mitigating factors may exist. Kansas wheat prices in 2008 were affected by local wheat production, elevator storage capacity, the number of competitors in local markets, and by location relative to flour mills. Evidence of...

Autores: Ribeiro,   Francis Lee; de Noronha,   Jose Ferreira; Noronha,   Cassia Maria Silva.
The debate on transgenic, which is embebed in asymmetrical information, has as a focal point, the risks and uncertainties to them associated. Many are the concerns and questions about the risks for the human health and the environment. Considering the interests of the productive sector in the transgenic technology, the matter sets itself in terms of how fast it wants to be settled taking into consideration the incapability of establishing certainties about the damages or benefits within the process. With the recent liberation by the Brazilian government for its production the sector starts showing segmentation. Therefore, this issue reflects in the market itself. The question is: are the consumers willing to buy transgenic? As an attempt to answer this...

Autores: Lloyd,   Tim A.; Morgan,   C. Wyn; McCorriston,   Steve; Zgovu,   Evious.
This paper assesses the role of sales as a feature of price dynamics using scanner data. The study analyses a unique, high frequency panel of supermarket prices consisting of over 230,000 weekly price observations on around 500 products in 15 categories of food stocked by the UK’s seven largest retail chains. In all, 1,700 weekly time series are available at the barcode-specific level including branded and own-label products. The data allows the frequency, magnitude and duration of sales to be analysed in greater detail than has hitherto been possible with UK data. The main results are: (i) sales are a key feature of aggregate price variation with around 40 per cent of price variation being accounted for by sales once price differences for each UPC level...

Discounting Spotted Apples: Investigating Consumers’ Willingness to Accept Cosmetic Damage in an Organic Product
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Yue,   Chengyan; Alfnes,   Frode; Jensen,   Helen H.
The appearance of organic produce is often less than perfect because of limited methods of avoiding plant diseases. We combine hypothetical and real auction mechanisms to investigate how cosmetic damage affects consumers’ willingness to pay for apples. We find that 75% of the participants are willing to pay more for organic than for conventional apples given identical appearance. However, at the first sight of any imperfection in the appearance of the organic apples, this segment is significantly reduced. Furthermore, the cosmetic damage has a larger impact on the willingness to pay for organic apples than for conventional apples.

Autores: Huan-Niemi,   Ellen; Niemi,   Jyrki S.
This paper examined China’s agricultural imports in regard to income growth, import price changes, and tariff reductions due to China’s trade liberalisation. More specifically, it attempted to model behavioural relationships in the agricultural trade between China and the EU by using annual trade data from 1986 to 2005. Econometric models were constructed for six agricultural products exported from the EU to China – frozen pigmeat, frozen fish, whey, barley, beer, and wine. The results indicated that China’s agricultural imports on a product basis are insensitive to absolute price changes. Therefore, the examination of the price elasticities confirmed the expectation that demand for Chinese agricultural imports is relatively inelastic to absolute price...

The Deregulation and Rationalization of Australia's Dairy Industry-Implications for the U.S. and World Dairy Industries
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dobson,   William D.; Wagner,   Jeffrey.
The termination of Australia's Domestic Market Support scheme for manufacturing milk producers and the end of state market milk (fluid milk) pricing regulations on June 30, 2000 made Australia's dairy industry arguably the most deregulated in the world. Australia's milk production will become concentrated on larger farms in low-cost milk production areas as a result of deregulation. Deregulation is expected to enhance Australia's competitiveness in dairy export markets. Valuable lessons for the dairy industries of the U.S., EU, and other countries can be gained from analyzing the forces that caused Australia's dairy industry to deregulate. Of interest too is the restructuring package that Australia's dairy industry and Australia's government used to help...

Quantile Regression Estimates of Confidence Intervals for WASDE Price Forecasts
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Isengildina-Massa,   Olga; Irwin,   Scott H.; Good,   Darrel L.
This study uses quantile regressions to estimate historical forecast error distributions for WASDE forecasts of corn, soybean, and wheat prices, and then compute confidence limits for the forecasts based on the empirical distributions. Quantile regressions with fit errors expressed as a function of forecast lead time are consistent with theoretical forecast variance expressions while avoiding assumptions of normality and optimality. Based on out-of-sample accuracy tests over 1995/96–2006/07, quantile regression methods produced intervals consistent with the target confidence level. Overall, this study demonstrates that empirical approaches may be used to construct accurate confidence intervals for WASDE corn, soybean, and wheat price forecasts.

A COMPARATIVE THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF THE FOOD STAMP PROGRAM AS OPPOSED TO CASH TRANSFERS ON THE DEMAND FOR FOOD
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Phillips,   Kathryn S.; Price,   David W.
Comparative analysis of food demand expansion of a cash program, as compared to the food stamp program, is important for measuring trade-offs between goals of raising farm income and increasing food expenditures of the poor.  A theoretical basis for assessing food demand impacts under each program is presented.  Two effects are analyzed: 1) The effect on food demand of the individual household and 2) The effect of food demand at the aggregate level.  Both indifference curve analysis and psychological need level theory are used.

An Econometric Analysis of Price Dynamics in the Presence of a Price Floor:  The Case of American Cheese
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chavas,   Jean-Paul; Kim,   Kwansoo.
In this paper, we present an econometric analysis for the effects of a price floor on price dynamics and price volatility. A price floor (implemented as a part of government pricing policy) provides a censoring mechanism for price determination. We specify and estimate a dynamic Tobit model under time-varying volatility.  The model is applied to analyze the effects of a price support program on price dynamics and price volatility in the U.S. American cheese market.  The econometric analysis provides useful insights on price dynamics in the presence of a government-determined price floor.

Assessing the Competitive Interaction Between Private Labels and National Brands
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cotterill,   Ronald W.; Putsis,   William P., Jr.; Dhar,   Ravi.
In contrast to single-equation cross-sectional studies of private label share, developing a complete understanding of the nature of the competitive interaction between national brands and private labels requires an understanding of the determinants of both demand and strategic pricing decisions by firms. Consequently, we estimate a simultaneous system of share and price for private labels and national brands. From the empirical results, two measures of market response are derived. The unilateral demand elasticity measures the pure “own” demand response, while the residual (or “total”) elasticity also captures the impact of competitive price reaction (Baker and Bresnahan 1985). When taken together, these provide important strategic insights into the pricing...

Autores: Jolejole-Foreman,   Maria Christina; Mallory,   Mindy L.
In the Philippines, where rice is considered the most important food crop, attempts to influence rice prices have been prevalent. The government, through National Food Authority (NFA) has sought to establish stocks and control imports to stabilize prices since its establishment in 1972 to support farm gate prices and reduce retail price of rice. But data shows divergence in retail prices and farm prices since mid 1960s. In this paper, we use vector autoregression (VAR) to analyze the movement of Philippine rice margins with government stocks and weather supply shocks to able to determine government effectiveness in actual times of market stress. Comparing VARs across regions, we are able to identify the regions in which price margins are significantly...

LONG-RUN EFFECTS FROM CONSUMER REACTION TO THE SPREAD OF FOODBORNE PATHOGENS: THE CASE OF E. COLI CONTAMINATION OF BEEF AT JACK IN THE BOX RESTAURANTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Zhen,   Chen.
Using news coverage of food safety as an indicator of public attention to food pathogen issues in meat products, we found the 1993 E. coli O157:H7 contamination of hamburgers likely permanently changed consumers' perception of beef safety. A food consumption model with rational habit persistence is developed to examine whether consumers make forward-looking consumption decisions accounting for expectations of future food safety. We document clear evidence of forward-looking consumption behavior, which suggests that government regulations implemented subsequent to the 1993 event to protect consumers from ignorance or cognitive defects may be ineffective.

Market Structure Impacts on Market Distortions from Domestic Subsidies: The U. S. Cotton Case
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Pan,   Suwen; Hudson,   Darren; Ethridge,   Don E.
This analysis uses a residual demand elasticity model to measure market power in the international cotton market. The results indicate that China exerts significant market power and affects cotton prices. Those results, combined with a partial equilibrium model of the international cotton market, are used to evaluate the welfare consequences of U.S. cotton subsidy policies for major cotton exporters under alternative assumptions about global market structure. The results indicate that the effects of U.S. subsidies on the world cotton price are much smaller under an imperfectly competitive international market than under a perfectly competitive market scenario; the former appears to be a realistic case.

This report evaluates the U.S. and world wheat markets for the 2008-2018 period using the Global Wheat Policy Simulation Model. This analysis is based on a series of assumptions about general economic conditions, agricultural policies, weather conditions, and technological change. Both the U.S. and world wheat economies are predicted to remain relatively healthy for the next ten years. World demand for both common and durum wheat are expected to remain strong. The price levels in 2007 and 2008 will not be maintained in 2009 and future because increased wheat and corn production in 2008 and reduced demand for corn for ethanol production will lower demand and increase supply. World trade volumes of both classes of wheat are expected to expand, but trade...

Agricultural Trade Policy Modelling: Insights from a Meta-Analysis of Doha Development Agenda Outcomes
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hess,   Sebastian; von Cramon-Taubadel,   Stephan.
In a meta-analysis of trade policy models, Hess and von Cramon-Taubadel (2008) use over 5800 simulated welfare effects from 110 studies of potential Doha Development Agenda outcomes to identify characteristics of models, data and policy experiments that influence simulation results. This meta-analysis, which is recapitulated here, produces plausible results and explains a significant proportion of the variation in simulated welfare effects. However, due to insufficient documentation and the complexity of the general and partial equilibrium models in the literature sample, many explanatory variables employed in this analysis are binary. This precludes more detailed analysis of their impacts across models. Therefore, a partial equilibrium model and a single...

Does Futures Price Volatility Differ Across Delivery Horizon?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Karali,   Berna; Dorfman,   Jeffrey H.; Thurman,   Walter N.
We study the difference in the volatility dynamics of CBOT corn, soybeans, and oats futures prices across different delivery horizons via the smoothed Bayesian estimator of Karali, Dorfman, and Thurman (2010). We show that the futures price volatilities in these markets are affected by the inventories, time to delivery, and the crop progress period. Some of these effects vary across delivery horizons. Further, it is shown that the price volatility is higher before the harvest starts in most of the cases compared to the volatility during the planting period. These results have implications for hedging, options pricing, and the setting of margin requirements.

Given the importance of meat consumption, and the proportion of consumers' income spent on meat, this study estimates the demand for eight meat categories using two different functional forms. An inverse almost ideal demand system (IAIDS), and linear double-log price dependent demand models are specified. In most cases, flexibilities obtained from both methods are comparable and show that the demand for meat products is price inflexible. In addition, there are regional as well as seasonal variations in the demand for meat products.

The Malthusian Paradox: Declining Food Prices in the Very Long Run
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bloch,   Harry; Sapsford,   David.
More than two centuries ago in his Essay on the Principle of Population, Thomas Malthus famously issued his dire prediction that mankind was doomed to survival at a subsistence level. His concept of population growth expanding to absorb the available food supply has been roundly contradicted by history, thanks in part to a declining birth rate in rich countries. However, economics is still the “dismal science”, as the underlying idea of natural resource scarcity impinging on the prospects for progress remains a cornerstone of modern economics. In the case of agriculture, the proposition is that more people or richer people increase the demand for food and given the constraint on arable land, this means that food becomes scarce. In economics, price is taken...

Inequality decomposition techniques are used to analyze the different impacts of domestic and international remittances on household income inequality in the Dominican Republic. Domestic remittances seem more likely to be equalizing than international remittances. The negative marginal effect on inequality of domestic remittances is more prominent among rural households, and in particular among landless rural households, while the negative marginal effect on inequality of international remittances is more prominent among urban households, and in particular outside of the Santo Domingo area. Stronger marginal effects of remittances were found among female-headed households, the elderly and the less educated. Both domestic and international remittances are...

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Corral,   Leonardo; Fisher,   Anthony C.; Hatch,   Nile W.
This paper develops a model of residential water demand under a nonlinear budget constraint. The theoretical model for an individual consumer is adapted to yield an aggregate model that preserves the structure of the individual demand function, and that can be used with aggregate (water district level) data. The model is used to study the influence of pricing and non-price conservation programs on consumption and conservation behavior in three water districts in the San Francisco Bay Area, over a 10-year period that includes both drought and normal years. Empirical results show that pricing can be effective in reducing water consumption, particularly during the annual dry season, and during longer drought episodes. The effect is mitigated when non-price...

Autores: Maskey,   Vishakha; Brown,   Cheryl; Collins,   Alan R.; Nassar,   Hala F.
While historians believe that preserving a historic building in its original location is important to maintain its historic integrity, the general public’s opinion is unknown. Survey data were gathered from local residents regarding a proposed relocation of a historic mill in rural West Virginia. Only a minority of the sample population supported preserving the mill at its original location. Willingness to pay for preservation was estimated at $8.45 for a one-time donation for the sample and $2.29 after adjusting for non-respondents using characteristics of the local population.

Autores: Falconi,   Cesar; Senauer,   Benjamin.
This paper estimates a complete demand system for food for the United States using an extension of the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) with household and aggregate data. The major purpose is to explore the implications of aggregation over consumers. Empirical evidence, based on data from the 1980-87 Continuing Consumer Expenditure Surveys, shows that the regression results and demand elasticities of the household and aggregate models and data can be very similar.

RANDOM WALKS AND FRACTAL STRUCTURES IN AGRICULTURAL COMMODITY FUTURES PRICES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Turvey,   Calum G.
This paper investigates whether the assumption of Brownian motion often used to describe commodity price movements is satisfied.  Using historical data from 17 commodity futures contracts specific tests of fractional and ordinary Brownian motion are conducted.  The analyses are conducted under the null hypothesis of ordinary Brownian motion against the alternative of persistent or ergodic fractional Brownian motion.  Tests for fractional Brownian motion are based on a variance ratio test and compared with conventional R-S analyses.  However, standard errors based on Monte Carlo simulations are quite high, meaning that the acceptance region for the null hypothesis is large.  The results indicate that for the most part, the null hypothesis of ordinary...

Variabilidad de corto plazo en la formación de precios en mercados de haciendas en el Uruguay.
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lanfranco,   Bruno A.; Ois,   Cecilia; Bedat,   Alina.
El mercado de haciendas es un mercado diferenciado, donde la calidad del producto está determinada por un conjunto de atributos que lo define completamente. Existe un diferencial de precios (premios y descuentos) que depende de las características del ganado. A través de un modelo de precios hedónicos se estimó el valor monetario que el mercado otorga a dichas características, medidas sobre más de 8.000 lotes (454 mil vacunos)  comercializados por pantalla. La mayoría de las variables incluidas en los catálogos incidieron en la formación de los precios. Peso, sexo, raza, clase, estado, procedencia, uniformidad, tratamiento nutricional y conocimiento del mío-mío, son características que afectaron significativamente el precio. Varias de estas variables...

Price Transmission Processes: A Study of Price Lags and Asymmetric Price Response Behavior for New York Red Delicious and McIntosh Apples
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hansmire,   Michelle R.; Willett,   Lois Schertz.
An economic model was developed to gain an understanding of price flows in the markets for New York Red Delicious and New York McIntosh apples. Price transmission processes of two apple products, fresh apples and apple juice, are analyzed and compared. Specific emphasis is placed on evaluating price lags and price asymmetry, two factors which complicate the flow of prices between market levels. Results indicate that retail prices of fresh New York Red Delicious apples and fresh New York McIntosh apples respond more fully to wholesale price increases than wholesale price decreases. Results suggest that wholesale prices of fresh New York Red Delicious and fresh New York McIntosh apples are not determined by shipping point price increases and decreases....

Derived Demand for Cattle Feeding Inputs
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mathews,   Kenneth H., Jr.; Arnade,   Carlos Anthony; Jones,   Keithly G.
Derived demand relationships among four weight categories of feeder cattle entering Texas feedlots and their feed consumed are examined using a generalized McFadden dual cost function. Results demonstrate systematic differences in demand relationships among different weight categories. Positive cross-price elasticities among the three heaviest weight categories are consistent with input substitution among weight categories and consistent with objective functions associated with optimal placement weight. Anomalies in the form of negative cross-price elasticities between weight categories provide evidence for an alternative objective function associated with longer term feeding of light-weight feeder cattle. Results also demonstrate seasonality differences...

Demand Curve Effects in Experimental Auctions: The Effect of Quantity Already Owned
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Colson,   Gregory; Huffman,   Wallace E.; Rousu,   Matthew C.
Most studies utilizing experimental auction mechanisms to elicit consumers’ willingness to pay are designed to avoid potential substitution or demand-curve effects that may influence bid prices.  However, previous research and auction designs have not considered the potential impact on bid prices of commodity inventories held by auction participants that were obtained through transactions outside of the auction.  This omission may present a problem for interpreting and analyzing auction data.  Using bids from a random nth-price auction of fresh vegetables conducted in a laboratory style setting, we test whether participants’ outside inventories affect bidding behavior.  We find that bidders do in fact consider their inventories, resulting in lower bid...

Modeling Electricity Prices: From the State of the Art to a Draft of a New Proposal
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Serati,   Massimiliano; Manera,   Matteo; Plotegher,   Michele.
In the last decades a liberalization of the electric market has started; prices are now determined on the basis of contracts on regular markets and their behaviour is mainly driven by usual supply and demand forces. A large body of literature has been developed in order to analyze and forecast their evolution: it includes works with different aims and methodologies depending on the temporal horizon being studied. In this survey we depict the actual state of the art focusing only on the recent papers oriented to the determination of trends in electricity spot prices and to the forecast of these prices in the short run. Structural methods of analysis, which result appropriate for the determination of forward and future values are left behind. Studies have...

RELATIVE AGRICULTURAL PRICE CHANGES IN DIFFERENT TIME HORIZONS

Autores: Cho,   Guedae; Kim,   MinKyoung; Koo,   Won W.
Using a monthly data covering from 1974:1 to 2002:12, this paper explores the linkage between changes in macroeconomic variables (real exchange rate and inflation rate) and changes in relative agricultural prices in different time horizons (1, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months). Controlling for factors likely to determine the long run trend of relative agricultural prices, the results show that long-term changes in real exchange rate has had a significant negative correlation with the long-term changes in relative agricultural prices. Conversely, changes of the general price have a role in explaining short-term changes in relative agricultural price at best.

ECONOMIES OF SCALE, HOUSEHOLD SIZE, AND THE DEMAND FOR FOOD: THE MISSING LINK
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Benin,   Samuel.
For the same level of per capita resources, larger households are deemed better off due to possible scale economies from consuming household public goods. Contradictory evidence that per capita demand for food declines with household size has puzzled economists. This paper suggests that larger households have costs associated with sharing food, especially high-value foods, and so they substitute towards cheaper and basic foods, whose per capita demand increases with household size. However, since high-value foods form a larger proportion of the budget on all foods, per capita demand for all foods declines with household size when Engel food-share equation is estimated using aggregate food expenditure data.

Eating a Healthy Diet: Is Cost a Major Factor?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Carlson,   Andrea; Lino,   Mark; Fungwe,   Thomas V.; Guenther,   Patricia M.
We examine the association between food expenditure and overall diet quality using a model where we assumed dietary quality is a function of health conditions, life style choices, total food expenditures, and socio-economic status.  We use cross-sectional data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001-02 and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion Food Prices Database.  Diet quality is measured using the USDA Healthy Eating Index-2005.  Our findings suggest that there is no statistically significant association between total diet quality and diet cost for men, but a small association for women.  Compared with diet cost, health conditions, life style choices, and socio-economic...

The Controversy of Exchange Rate Devaluation in Sudan: An Economy-wide General Equilibrium Assessment
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Siddig,   Khalid H.A.
The international Monitory Fund (IMF) has been working with Sudan since 1997 to implement macroeconomic reforms including a managed float of the exchange rate (EXR). The IMF sees the EXR flexibility as key to safeguard and rebuild foreign exchange reserves and essential to meet the international reserve target in Sudan. However, the authorities in Sudan are concerned that greater exchange rate flexibility could contribute to inflationary pressures. In addition, a review of literature focusing on the exchange rate policies in Sudan reflects huge ambiguity about its outcome.  This calls for additional empirical investigations that provide economy wide assessments of the various possible scenarios that could be adopted in the Sudanese context. Accordingly,...

The short- and long-run effects of the vector grocery store consumer price information program
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Boynton,   Robert D.; Perloff,   Jeffrey M.
This paper uses a theory of the way information affects average prices, the price distribution across stores, and the degree of concentration within the retail grocery industry to estimate the effects of Vector Enterprise's consumer information program. Since 1972, Vector has ShOl1n each grocery chain's prices on cable television in many cities. By providing consumers with a relatively easy and inexpensive method of comparing prices across grocery chains, Vector's information program has increased the competitiveness of the retail grocery industry in those cities.  The first section of this paper presents a summary of the theoretical model used in this study. The problems of using indexes to provide information about grocery prices are described in the...

Price Dynamics in the North American Wheat Market
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Baek,   Jungho; Koo,   Won W.
This study examines price dynamics in the U.S. and Canadian hard red spring (HRS) and durum wheat markets. Using monthly prices for 1979-2002, we adopt Johansen cointegration tests and a vector error-correction (VEC) model. The results show that U.S. hard red winter (HRW) and Canadian HRS are exogenous in the model consisting of U.S. HRW and HRS and Canadian HRS prices. Canadian durum is exogenous in the model of U.S. and Canadian durum prices. Therefore, the results suggest that the HRW exporting industry and Canada have been the price leader in North American wheat markets.

In this paper we analyse wine demand in Italy using microdata. Instead of estimating a traditional parametric model (like AIDS) we employed artificial neural networks (ANN) and evaluate the elasticities using two different methods, specific for the non parametric framework. We compared the performances of the two methods to estimate elasticities and put in evidence the relevance of some demographic variables together with the usual economic ones, explaining the consumer's behaviour.

Bargaining, Search, and Price Dispersion: Evidence from the Live Hogs Market
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Vukina,   Tomislav; Zheng,   Xiaoyong.
Using unique panel data on individual transactions between buyers and sellers in the spot market for live hogs, we found a large degree of intra-day price dispersion. Motivated by this empirical puzzle, we offer an explanation which is rooted in the bargaining with search theory. We formulate three hypotheses involving the role of farmers’ search cost, bargaining parties’ patience, and asymmetric information that we believe can explain the observed phenomenon. Empirical analysis shows strong support for all three of the stated theoretical predictions, indicating that the bargaining with search theory explains at least 31 percent of the observed intra-day price variation in this market.

This study incorporates quality into the Rotterdam demand system based on utility theory.  Quality was modeled through its impact on marginal utility via perceived prices, following theoretical work by Basemann and Barten, among others.  Results show that the price elasticity of fresh grapefruit demand is near unitary at the retail level and juice content has had relatively large impacts on fresh grapefruit demand.

Generalized Rational Random Errors
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: LaFrance,   Jeffrey T.
Theil's theory of rational random errors is sufficient for strict exogeneity of group expenditure in separable demand models. Generalized rational random errors is necessary and sufficient for strict exogeneity of group expenditure. A simple, robust, asymptotically normal t-test of this hypothesis is derived based on the generalized method of moments. An application to per capita annual U.S. food demand in the 20th century strongly rejects exogeneity of food expenditure in a model that in all other respects is highly compatible with the data set and with the implications of economic theory.

Confirming the Price Effects of Private Labels Development
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bontemps,   Christophe; Orozco,   Valerie; Requillart,   Vincent.
We study the price response of national brands to the development of private labels. We use monthly data from a consumer survey reporting their purchases for 218 food products. We show that when private labels have a significant effect on national brands prices (144 cases over 218), that is positive (89%). We also show that the increase in the prices of national brand products is explained by a strategy of product differentiation. Finally, price reaction of national brands differs with the type of private labels they are facing. This paper confirms, on a larger number of products, previous empirical results.

Consumer Demand for Major Foods in Egypt
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fayyad,   Basem S.; Johnson,   Stanley R.; El-Khishin,   Mohamed.
This study provides information on the structure of the consumer demand for major foods in Egypt. The information is in the form of key parameters for consumer demand systems. The modern theory of consumer behavior is the basis for estimating systems of demand equations. These systems yield estimates of own and cross price elasticities. The Linear Almost Ideal Demand System (LAIDS) model is applied in estimating a system of demand equations for food commodities. A full demand matrix results with a coherent and consistent set of price and expenditure elasticity estimates. Using the estimated own and cross price and expenditure elasticities, food and agricultural policies during the transformation to the market economy can be analyzed. A framework for...

This paper investigates whether information costs under currently regulated nutritional labeling prevent consumers from making healthier food choices. We implement five nutritional shelf label treatments in a market-level experiment. These labels reduce information costs by highlighting and summarizing information available on the Nutritional Facts Panel. Following a difference-in-differences and synthetic control method approach, we analyze weekly store-level scanner data for microwave popcorn purchases from treatment and control stores. Our results suggest that consumer purchases are affected by information costs. Implemented low calorie and no trans fat labels increase sales. In contrast, implemented low fat labels decrease sales, suggesting that...

This study evaluates the risk and returns to cattle feeding in Alberta from the application of alternative marketing and pricing strategies. Feedlot finishing of 650 pound calves and 800 pound yearlings is modeled over the years from 1980 to 1993. The results of the study are based on the domestic and US marketing of live cattle using traditional cash marketing, futures contracts, put options, and forward production contracting systems. Use of the Western Domestic Feed Barley contract is also simulated. The results showed that barley price changes produced relatively small return changes compared to feeder and fat cattle price changes. An important source of return risk was found to be basis risk.

Quantifying the Structure of Food Demand in China Using a Generalized Quadratic AIDS Specification
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hovhannisyan,   Vardges; Gould,   Brian W.
This manuscript is used to examine food demand structure and its dynamics for 11 commodities in urban China. The analysis is based on household-level expenditure survey data for two cross-sectional surveys of Chinese households pertaining to food expenditure patterns during 1995 and 2003. A major focus of this presentation is on the pre-committed component of demand that is not accounted for by economic and demographic characteristics. We use the generalized quadratic almost ideal demand system (GQAIDS) for its empirical superiority to the GAIDS, and estimate the associated parameters via a full information maximum likelihood procedure (FIML) procedure, where we test for whether total food expenditure for home consumption (FAH) is endogenous. We also use...

Unit Value Biases in Meat Demand in Indonesia
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Olivia,   Susan; Gibson,   John.
Indonesia is an emerging market for beef and cattle exports so estimates of income and price elasticities may help analysts predict future demands. In contrast to developed countries, where meat demand studies often use aggregate data, Indonesian studies rely on household surveys, with unit values (ratios of expenditures to quantities) used instead of market prices. Elasticities estimated from unit values can be subject to various quality and measurement error biases. In this paper, data from 29,000 households on Java are used to estimate a demand system for beef, chicken and other meat groups, and the extent of bias from commonly used estimation strategies is evaluated.

Is Inverse Demand Perverse?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Russo,   Carlo; Yavapolkul,   Navin; Zetland,   David.
Our non-representative sample of 245 undergraduates had significantly lower scores on questions presented in the standard heterogeneous form (i.e., Direct Demand equation and Inverse Demand graph) than on questions presented in non-standard homogenous forms. This result, which holds for advanced students, highlights one reason why 95 percent of students in economics principles classes do not enter the major---economics can be gratuitously mathematical. We argue that the Inverse Demand standard hurts rather than helps economics when it is used in early courses, but that professors have no incentive to change their methods. We recommend that early classes use either no graphs or a homogenous combination of graph and equation. The “standard” should be...

Estimating The Demand For Food And Non-Food Items Using An Almost Ideal Demand System Modelling Approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Agbola,   Frank W.
An Almost Ideal Demand System model is used to examine consumer behaviour in India using household survey data for the period 1973-74 through to 1993-94. The empirical results indicate that, for commodity groups, demand is inelastic, except for other foods and non-foods. The expenditure elasticity estimates indicate that milk and non-foods are luxury goods, while pulses, cereals, edible oil, meats, fruits and vegetables and other foods are necessities in the Indian diet. The results indicate that, for any increase in future expenditure, the largest percentage increase will be allocated to non-foods, followed by cereal, other foods, milk, fruits and vegetables, edible oil, pulses and meats, in that order. Estimates of future food supply and demand growth in...

Integrating Routine, Variety Seeking and Compensatory Choice in a Utility Maximizing Framework
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Adamowicz,   Wiktor L.; Swait,   Joffre.
Given the large number of choices that consumers make each day it seems likely that they will generally adopt decision strategies that minimize cognitive effort, particularly with low price products such as most items found in a supermarket. One such strategy may be to simply choose what has been chosen in the past, i.e. to fall into a pattern of routine choices or decisions. In contrast, there may be preferences for variety in markets for low price, highly differentiated goods. We develop a conceptual and empirical model of routine choice, and the factors that result in transitions to two strategies other than routine selection, to wit, utility maximizing choice among available alternatives and a variety seeking strategy. The empirical approach we employ...

THE CALIBRATION OF INCOMPLETE DEMAND SYSTEMS IN QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Beghin,   John C.; Bureau,   Jean-Christophe; Drogue,   Sophie.
We introduce an easily implemented and flexible calibration technique for partial demand systems, combining recent developments in incomplete demand systems and a set of restrictions conditioned on the available elasticity estimates. The technique accommodates various degrees of knowledge on cross-price elasticities, satisfies curvature restrictions, and allows the recovery of an exact welfare measure for policy analysis. The technique is illustrated with a partial demand system for food consumption in Korea for different states of knowledge on cross-price effects. The consumer welfare impact of food and agricultural trade liberalization is measured.

'Scenario Adjustment' in Stated Preference Research
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cameron,   Trudy Ann; Deshazo,   J.R.; Johnson,   Erica H.
To assess demand for non-market goods, researchers must sometimes resort to direct elicitation of consumer tradeoffs with the use of surveys.  Stated preference (SP) methods typically involve surveys of consumers wherein choice scenarios are posed to respondents and individuals are asked to indicate their preferred alternatives. As SP research has matured, much progress has been made to address a variety of well-known biases that can afflict demand estimates produced by these methods, but some concerns still remain. We use an existing survey designed to ascertain willingness to pay for private health-risk reduction programs to illustrate yet another potential source of bias. This bias is caused when not all respondents answer exactly the choice question...

We investigate storage in the presence of backwardation and the existence of the Working curve for CBOT corn, soybeans, and wheat markets and the KCBOT wheat market using recent data, 1990-2010.  Incorporating Telser’s concept of the cost of carry, we employ two measures of the spread—the percent of full carry for futures-futures and futures-spot (maximum) spreads which are adjusted for interest and storage rates. Both spreads are calculated relative to the next nearby futures contract and are matched with closest weekly deliverable stock information available at the delivery locations for the contracts. Our findings indicate that storage at a loss is pervasive both in terms of the percent of observations that exhibited storage at a loss, and the magnitude...

Price Transmission Mechanisms among Disaggregated Processing Stages of Food: Demand-Pull or Cost-Push?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kwon,   Dae-Heum; Koo,   Won W.
The recent concurrent surges of food and commodity prices renew the debate on the causal directions between producer and consumer prices. To address this issue, we utilize the stage of processing system incorporating retail stage beyond crude, intermediate, and finished processing stages of food and employ the method proposed by Toda and Yamamoto (1995) and Dolado and Lütkepohl (1996) of Granger causality tests. The overall results show that consistent with theory of derived demand, the demand-pull mechanisms coexist with the cost-push processes in 1985-2001. However, the upward cost-push pressures dominate the demand-pull mechanism through various transmission channels in 2002-2008.

A non-compensatory choice modeling analysis of Japanese consumers’ preferences for beef: A choice experiment approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Aizaki,   Hideo; Sawada,   Manabu; Sato,   Kazuo; Kikkawa,   Toshiko.
The purpose of this paper is to examine, using choice experiments, the Japanese consumers’ valuation of domestic Wagyu beef, domestic dairy beef, Australian beef, and US beef when considering their bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) test status. Some Japanese consumers give high priority to food safety while purchasing beef; this is expected to cause a non-compensatory valuation of food safety. As compared to the results derived from a compensatory utility model, a random parameters logit (RPL) with a non-compensatory utility model provides estimation results that are fitter for the respondents’ decision-making rules and also provides more valid willingness to pay (WTP) for each type of beef. The results suggest that the RPL with the non-compensatory...

Estimating Plate-Lunch Demand: A Bottom-Line Assessment of the Competitive School Food Environment
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Pham,   Matthew V.; Roe,   Brian E.
Direct regulation of school lunch content seems an intuitive approach for improving the nutrition of many American children. However, little is known about substitution patterns in response to such efforts, particular the likelihood that children and parents will turn to competitive foods outside the control of schools such as packed lunches. To our knowledge, no previous work documents if increasing the healthfulness of school lunches leads children to leave the school lunch line for potentially less nutritious options. To address this paucity of information we estimate the demand for school lunches as a function of calories provided and entrée protein source for a single elementary school. Our results suggest a highly inelastic response to a meal’s...

The Interaction between Alcohol and Cigarette Consumption
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Koksal,   Aycan; Wohlgenant,   Michael K.
It has long been recognized that cigarette and alcohol not only have adverse health effects, but also negative externalities imposed on third parties. If cigarette and alcohol are related in consumption, the information on the way in which they are related may allow a better coordination of the public policies concerning these goods. In this study, we use the expenditure data of a panel of US households to analyze the relation between cigarette and alcohol consumption in a rational addiction framework. We believe that individual level data would be a better tool to analyze addictive behavior as aggregate data might conceal much of micro behavior. We found that cigarettes and alcoholic beverages are substitutes. However, both cigarette and alcohol demand do...

The impact of reforming the Common Agricultural Policy on the sustainability of the irrigated area of Central Italy. An empirical assessment by means of a Positive Mathematical Programming model
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cortignani,   Raffaele; Severini,   Simone.
The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is a major driver of the environmental and social sustainability of the agriculture in the European Union (EU). Under the 2003 CAP reform, most direct payments to agricultural producers were decoupled from production. This work assesses the possible impact of the CAP reform on the sustainability of an irrigated area of Central Italy with particular attention being paid to decoupling. The analysis has been conducted using the Positive Mathematical Programming (PMP) method that directly estimates the cost function parameters by imposing the first-order conditions of the farm model under consideration. The analysis assesses the impact of the CAP reform on farm cropping patterns, water and chemical use, labour use and...

A number of microbial contamination incidents have continued to raise questions regarding the safety of the U.S. food supply with calls for improved food safety control initiatives and standards by both the private and public sectors. As a reaction to these incidents, there have been increased efforts to enhance food safety by the government and industry groups. Increasingly, process standards are being specified that recommend or prescribe Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) standards for production, Good Handling Practices (GHP) standards for handling products, and Good Management Practices (GMP) for responsibilities in overseeing production and handling operations. A primary concern is the potential that the costs associated with implementing food safety...

Because so much agricultural policy analysis utilizes estimates of supply and demand elasticities, it is crucial to obtain the most reliable estimates possible.  Where reliability cannot be adequately assessed, the sensitivity of elasticities to equally plausible a priori specifications should at least be ascertained.  In this article, the sensitivity of U.S. output supply and input demand elasticities to choice of functional form.  Considerable sensitivity is found to choice of functional form.  Although most frequently used, the translog is generally the outlier and is the least preferred among the alternatives.

Does Measurement Error Explain a Paradox About Household Size and Food Demand? Evidence from Variation in Household Survey Methods
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gibson,   John.
Several recent papers report a puzzling pattern of food demand falling as household size rises at constant per capita expenditure, especially in poorer countries. This pattern is contrary to a widely used model of scale economics. This paper exploits within-country differences in household survey methods and interviewer practices to provide a measurement error interpretation of this puzzle. A comparison of household surveys in Cambodia and Indonesia with the results from Monte Carlo experiments suggest that food expenditure estimates from shorter, less detailed recall surveys have measurement errors that are correlated with household size. These correlated measurement errors contribute to the negative effect of household size on food demand and cause...

Quality discounts and premiums for rough rice in Texas rice bid/acceptance markets are analyzed. The most important quality factors determining the value of rough rice are head yield and peck. A one percentage point reduction in peck damage raises the price received per hundredweight of rough rice by $.13 to $.68 across markets and years. Since peck damage can be reduced by controlling the rice stinkbug, evaluation of alternative methods for better control of this pest in Texas rice fields is needed.

Non-negligible transaction costs restrict the transmission of price shock between markets. The aim of this work was to analyze the effects of transaction costs on the spatial integration of the internal market for chicken meat, from 1998 to 2007. The applied methodology was based on the Threshold Cointegration Analysis. The results indicate the presence of significant barriers to the price transmission between the markets, existing probably due to the transaction costs. Prices are not very sensitive to eventual deviations of the long run equilibrium. It could also be noted that a relatively long period is necessary to eliminate price shocks, and the price transmission process is asymmetric.

The underlying components of protection motivation theory (PMT; Rogers 1983) are explored through choice experiment-based analysis within a random utility framework, to account for some of the motivational, cognitive, and affective processes that likely affect celiacs’ propensity to use a novel health-risk reducing product. Those four groups of variables that are aimed to capture threat appraisal and coping appraisal processes as part of the standard PMT (Rogers 1975, 1983; Floyd et al. 2000) are found to contribute significantly to explaining the adaptive response of celiacs. Self-assessed vulnerability and perceived product efficacy form a most significant part of respondents’ threat appraisal process. Standard socio-demographic and lifestyle...

Dynamic demand systems have been employed in a number of studies to account for habit formation and inventory adjustments in demand. Few studies have attempted to provide a theoretical foundation for the dynamic demand structures employed. Recently, Bushehri (2003) showed how a generalized dynamic Rotterdam model could be derived from the neoclassical intertemporal utility maximization problem; however, no empirical application is provided in his study. This paper provides an empirical application of the generalized dynamic Rotterdam model to the demand for processed catfish products in the U.S. The two-period dynamic Rotterdam model explained a significant amount of the variation in U.S. catfish demand and was preferred to the one-period and static...

Horizontal Price Transmission of the Finnish Meat Sector with Major EU Players
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Liu,   Xing.
The integration of the Finnish meat market in the EU has important implications for domestic agricultural policy. Our aim is to estimate the characteristics of the Finnish pork and beef markets in relation to those of Germany and Denmark. Our analysis uses symmetric and asymmetric threshold error correction models. Both pork and beef prices in Finland are found to have slowly cointegrated with German prices, but the cointegration relationship of the two counties is only found to be symmetric for pork prices, while it is asymmetric for beef prices. The producer price for pork in Finland is symmetrically cointegrated with the Danish price, but the Finnish and Danish beef prices show a random walk. This implies that the price transmission to the Finnish pork...

SOME EMPIRICAL METHODS OF ESTIMATING ADVERTISING EFFECTS IN DEMAND SYSTEMS: AN APPLICATION TO DRIED FRUITS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Green,   Richard D.; Carman,   Hoy F.; McManus,   Kathleen.
Two different methods of incorporating advertising effects into Almost Ideal Demand Systems (AIDS) are presented. Both advertising schemes are designed to allow theoretical restrictions to hold globally rather than at particular sample points. The models are estimated for California figs, prunes, and raisins. Empirical results indicate that generic advertising effects for these three dried fruits are generally weak when compared to price and total expenditure effects. Estimated cross-commodity effects also are relatively small except for the negative effect of raisin advertising on the quantity of prunes demanded.

The Influence of Fat and Weight on the Price of Lamb in the Homebush Livestock and Wholesale Markets
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mullen,   John D.
An econometric analysis is reported of the relationship between price, and fat cover and weight, in the Homebush livestock and wholesale markets in 1987, 1988 and 1989 using data from the Livestock Market Reporting Service. Implicit prices for changes in weight and fat cover were estimated while accounting for changes in supply and demand conditions for lamb. The analysis lends support to the view that consumer preference for leaner lamb was not being reflected in prices offered for lamb in traditional auction markets.

OPTIONS-BASED FORECASTS OF FUTURES PRICES IN THE PRESENCE OF LIMIT MOVES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Egelkraut,   Thorsten M.; Garcia,   Philip.
This analysis examines a simultaneous estimation option-based approach to forecast futures prices in the presence of daily price limit moves. The procedure explicitly allows for changing implied volatilities by estimating the implied futures price and the implied volatility simultaneously. Using 15 years of futures and futures options data for three agricultural commodities, we find that the simultaneous estimation approach accounts for the abrupt changes in implied volatility associated with limit moves and generates more accurate price forecasts than conventional methods that rely on only one implied variable.

The Economics of Inaction on Climate Change: A Sensitivity Analysis
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ackerman,   Frank; Finlayson,   Ian J.
Economic models of climate change often take the problem seriously, but paradoxically conclude that the optimal policy is to do almost nothing about it. We explore this paradox as seen in the widely used DICE model. Three aspects of that model, involving the discount rate, the assumed benefits of moderate warming, and the treatment of the latest climate science, are sufficient to explain the timidity of the model's optimal policy recommendation. With modifications to those three points, DICE shows that the optimal policy is a much higher and rapidly rising marginal carbon price; that higher carbon price has a greater effect on physical measures of climate impacts. Our modifications exhibit nonlinear interactions; at least at low discount rates, there is...

Food Price Spikes and Strategic Interactions between the Public and Private Sectors:  Market Failures or Governance Failures.
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jayne,   Thomas S.; Tschirley,   David L.
When food prices shoot over import parity, this often leads to social and political unrest and even the toppling of governments. If markets behaved efficiently and in the absence of trade barriers, food prices should not exceed the price in world markets plus the cost of importing it to domestic markets (i.e., import parity). However, food prices routinely soar above import parity in several countries of East and Southern Africa, causing widespread hunger and asset depletion among the poor.

DISAGGREGATED ANALYSIS OF SHORT-RUN BEEF SUPPLY RESPONSE
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ospina,   Enrique; Shumway,   C. Richard.
Conceptual problems in model specification of beef supply response studies are investigated and a simultaneous equation model is formulated to estimate annual U.S. carcass supply, demand, and inventories of beef. Three basic issues are addressed: (a) disaggregation, (b) simultaneity, and (c) differentiation between current and expected price effects. Empirical results indicate positive supply response of each quality type of steers and heifers, and negative supply response of cows to current own-price changes. The derived aggregate supply elasticity is positive. The effects of grain price changes on beef price, supply and composition are also evaluated.

Seasonal Price Patterns for Arkansas Soybeans
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Stark,   C. Robert, Jr.; Bryant,   Kelly J.
Seasonality is generally regarded as a major feature in soybean market price variations.  Recent years in Arkansas have seen considerable construction of on-farm storage, a move that could mitigate the seasonality effect on price variations.  A study comparing cash price indices from the past ten years with results from a 1986 Arkansas study and a recent national-level study found that Arkansas soybean prices appear to have followed a consistent and logical pattern around their national average in spite of increased variability and uncertainty.

Evidence of Changes in Preferences Among Beef Cuts Varieties: An Application of Poisson Regressions
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ferrara,   Oscar; Ward,   Ronald W.
US expenditures on beef products have shown a slow but consistent increase during the last decade. Beef purchases are determined largely by product attributes and the importance that consumers attach to them. Preferences have changed and consumers have become more concern about beef quality, attributes, and safety in general. This study presumes that beef cuts exist at a national level and that consumers know about the different attributes among beef products. These circumstances have encouraged the beef industry to differentiate and add value to its production chain in order to satisfy the increasing demand for a large variety of cuts and product forms. The importance of developing new products has prompted research that identifies consumer trends. Hence,...

Retail Pricing Behavior for Perishable Produce Products in the US with Implications for Farmer Welfare
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Li,   Chenguang; Sexton,   Richard J.
The typical model of retail pricing for produce products assumes retailers set price equal to the farm price plus a certain markup. However, observations from scanner data indicate a large degree of price dispersion in the grocery retailing market. In addition to markup pricing behavior, we document three alternative leading pricing patterns: fixed (constant) pricing, periodic sale, and high-low pricing. Retail price variations under these alternative pricing regimes in general have little correlation with the farm price. How do retailers’ alternative pricing behaviors affect farmers’ welfare? Using markup pricing as the baseline case, we parameterize the model to reflect a prototypical fresh produce market and carry out a series of simulations under...

Responding to the Coffee Crisis: What Can We Learn from Price Dynamics
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mehta,   Aashish; Chavas,   Jean-Paul.
We develop a semi-structural price vector autoregression to capture coffee price dynamics over various time horizons. The presence of the International Coffee Agreement is permitted to alter supply responses to price signals through yield and planting effects. In the short run, the ICA caused Brazilian farm prices to become disconnected from international prices. In the long run, the ICA promoted supply response by providing a stable environment in which producers could use current price information to predict future prices. In the intermediate run, it muted supply response by necessitating an institutional price wedge between wholesale and farm level prices. In net, the ICA created a price cycle that does not exist in non-ICA periods. Oxfam's proposal to...

Can Producers Place Valid and Reliable Valuations on Wool Price-Risk Information?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Pluske,   Johanna M.; Fraser,   Rob W.
Using the contingent valuation method farmers in the high rainfall region of Western Australia were asked to value the information that they used to reduce risk associated with wool prices. To ascertain whether these values were both valid and reliable they were combined with additional data collected from the questionnaires and incorporated into profit functions so that farmers' attitudes towards risk could be estimated. These risk attitudes may be deemed reliable and valid providing they correspond to those estimated by other researchers. Results showed that the farmers' risk aversion coefficients were comparable to those estimated in the Australian literature. Therefore it may be argued that these farmers were able to nominate valid and reliable...

How Market Efficiency and the Theory of Storage Link Corn and Ethanol Markets
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mallory,   Mindy L.; Hayes,   Dermot J.; Irwin,   Scott H.
In this article we use the theories of market efficiency and supply of storage to develop a conceptual link between the corn and ethanol markets and explore statistical evidence for the link. We propose that a long-run no-profit condition is established in distant futures markets for ethanol, corn, and natural gas and then use the theory of storage to define an inter-temporal equilibrium among these prices. The relationship shows that under certain conditions, future price expectations will influence current spot prices and that a short-term relationship between input and output prices will exist. This short-term relationship will contain fixed costs. We demonstrate validity of the theory using a structural price model and then by means of time-series...

Spatial Price Transmission Analysis in Agricultural Markets: Does the Data Frequency Improve our Estimation?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Amikuzuno,   Joseph.
Unavailability of high frequency, weekly or daily data compels most studies of price transmission in developing countries to use low frequency, monthly data for their analyses. Analyzing price dynamics with monthly data may however yield imprecise price adjustment parameters and lead to wrong inferences on price dynamics. This is because agricultural markets in developing countries operate daily or weekly. In this paper, we investigate the relevance of data frequency in price transmission analysis. We use a standard- and a threshold vector error model to estimate and compare price adjustment parameters for a high frequency, semi-weekly, data and a low frequency, monthly data. The results reveal that adjustment parameters estimated from the low frequency...

Autores: Zheng,   Zhihao; Henneberry,   Shida Rastegari.
The impacts of economic and demographic variables on the demand for food grain commodities in urban Jiangsu province of China are estimated, using both the QUAIDS and the AIDS models. Results show that the demands for wheat flour and coarse grains are price-elastic while the demands for rice and grain products are price-inelastic. Certain demographic variables show as having a significant impact on food grain demand. Finally, a decomposition of causes of changes in rice consumption over the period of 1995–2007 is performed.

Using a decision theoretic approach to choose among alternative import protocols for an import competing commodity
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Abdalla,   Ali; Rodriguez,   Gil; Heaney,   Anna.
The global push toward free trade and the consequent rise in volume of imports from a wider range of countries incurs the likelihood of introducing unwanted pathogens. Given that a zero-risk quarantine policy is not possible, there are tradeoffs between the gains from international trade and the potential costs to society of disease incursions. The aim in this paper is to demonstrate a means for choosing among alternative import protocols through an economic model. The economic modeling approach applied to a stylised set of import protocols was a two step process. First, the gains and losses to consumers and producers, including costs of disease, were estimated for each import protocol. In the second step, three decision rules — minimax, minimin and...

Large and rapid increases have occurred for many food commodity prices during 2010-11. Long-term production and consumption trends underlay rising food commodity prices, but worldwide production shortfalls and changes in trade policies and practices in a number of countries sparked the sharp surge in prices after June 2010. Many of the long-term trends and short-run shocks contributing to the current price surge also played a role in previous price spikes.

The purpose of this study was to analyze structural changes that took place in the cotton industry in recent years and develop a statistical model that reflects the current drivers of U.S. cotton prices.  Legislative changes authorized the U.S. Department of Agriculture to resume publishing cotton price forecasts for the first time in 79 years.  In addition, systematic problems have become apparent in the forecasting models used by USDA and elsewhere, highlighting the need for an updated review of price relationships.  This study concluded that a structural break in the U.S. cotton industry occurred in 1999, and that world cotton supply has become an important determinant of U.S. cotton prices.  China’s trade and production policy also continues to be an...

Valuing the biodiversity gains from protecting native plant communities from bitou bush (Chrysanthemoides monilifera subsp rotundata (DC.) T.Norl.) in New South Wales: application of the defensive expenditure method
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Sinden,   Jack A.; Downey,   Paul O.; Hester,   Susan M.; Cacho,   Oscar J.
Valuation of the gains from protection of biodiversity is difficult because the services that provide the benefits do not normally pass through markets where prices can form. But the services sometimes pass through markets where consumers or producers behave in a market-oriented manner, and so the values implicit in this behaviour can be identified and derived. Estimates of the benefits of biodiversity protection are derived from the costs of protecting native plant communities from a major weed in Australia, by following this approach. In 1999, invasion of coastal areas of New South Wales by bitou bush (Chrysanthemoides monilifera subsp. rotundata (DC.) T. Norl.) was listed as a key process threatening native plants under the NSW Threatened Species...

The economics of agroterrorism has not been fully developed within the economics literature, yet with increasing concerns about agroterrorism it is important to understand how consumers will generally respond. This paper presents an overview of food safety issues, and develops an economical model that can be used to illustrate and establish hypotheses regarding consumer behavior and agroterrorism. We then present sample and econometric results from a survey of 304 New Jersey consumers and explain the characteristics of the 33% that confirmed that they have increased purchases of locally grown produce due to terrorism fears.

We examine the effects of domestic advertising and promotion expenditures on meat demand, extending previous efforts in several areas, including the use of more recent data, employing a complete demand system and simultaneously measuring the impacts of generic pork and beef advertising and food safety information on the demand for beef, pork, and poultry. Using the Generalized Almost Ideal Demand System (GAIDS), own- and cross- beef and pork advertising and own- and cross- beef, pork, and poultry food safety effects are measured jointly and consistently. To allow for a more complex dynamic response of advertising and food safety effects, the flexible distributed lag technique of Mitchell and Speaker (1986) is employed.

Bayesian Estimation of a Censored AIDS Model for Whole Grain Products
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ishdorj,   Ariun; Jensen,   Helen H.
When using household-level data in examining consumer's demand it is common to find that consumers purchase only a subset of the available goods, setting the demand for the remaining goods to zero. Ignoring such censoring of the dependent variables in the estimation can lead to biased parameter estimates. In this paper we investigate the household's demand for six types of whole grain and non-whole grain breakfast cereals and products using a censored Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) and estimate the parameters of the demand system via Bayesian methods. Using 2006 ACNielsen Homescan data we find that demand for whole grain and non-whole grain ready-to-eat cereals is less responsive to changes in prices; demand for whole-grain bars and non-whole grain hot...

Rationally Addicted to Cigarettes, Alcohol and Coffee? A Pseudo Panel Approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Koksal,   Aycan; Wohlgenant,   Michael K.
In this paper, using pseudo panel data we analyze the relation between cigarette, alcohol, and coffee consumption within the rational addiction framework. Our purpose in this study is twofold. First, we want to get more insights about behavioral processes concerning cigarette, alcohol and coffee consumption. Second, we hope that our attempt to generalize rational addiction model to include three addictive goods will be useful to generate further research in the related literature. We found that cross price elasticity of cigarette with respect to alcohol price is negative, while cross price elasticity of alcohol with respect to cigarette price is positive. We believe that drinking works as a trigger for smoking especially in social settings like bars while...

A STUDY OF CEREAL PRICE INTERRELATIONSHIPS ACROSS MARKETS AND COMMODITIES AT THE WHOLESALE AND RETAIL LEVELS IN MALI
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Barry,   Abdoul Wahab.
Beginning in 1981, the government of Mali undertook several policy reforms to allow participation of private traders in cereal marketing, which up to that date was officially controlled by a parastatal.  These reforms can be expected to have an impact on the working of the cereals market.  One of the main objectives of this study is to assess the performance of the cereal marketing system.  The task is to study how different markets are interrelated in terms of price formation, by using wholesale and retail price data and different techniques of analysis.  These methods of analysis include bivariate correlations, calculation of margins, and multiple regression techniques.  Not only is the research aimed at showing the differences and similarities of the...

Consumer preferences for extra virgin olive oil with country-of-origin and geographical indication labels in Canada
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Menapace,   Luisa; Colson,   Gregory; Grebitus,   Carola; Facendola,   Maria.
This paper investigates the impact of geographical origin labels on consumers' preferences.  Specifically, we consider the preferences of Canadian consumers for extra virgin olive oils marketed with country-of-origin labels (COOL) and geographical indications (GIs). In contrast to previous studies, by considering a third-country market (a market different from that where production occurs), we can look simultaneously at COOL and GIs and separate the impacts of these two forms of geographical origin labels.  We find that, within the context of a high quality value-added commodity such as extra virgin olive oil, consumers value both COOL and GI labels.  But, in terms of the fraction of consumers with positive preferences and willingness to pay, COOL labels...

ASSESSING EFFECTS OF PRICES AND ADVERTISING ON PURCHASES OF FINFISH AND SHELLFISH IN A LOCAL MARKET IN TEXAS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Lambregts,   Johannes Adrianus.
Estimates of demand parameters for disaggregate finfish and shellfish products were obtained using scanner data from a retail food firm in Houston.  Demand for the various products was elastic (except for oysters); in general, cross-price effects play a statistically significant role in pounds sold per 1000 customers.  Own-advertisement effects are important, but cross-advertisement effects are generally marginal.  Seasonality is a key factor in purchases of most finfish and shellfish products.

Demand for Non-Alcoholic Beverages: Evidence From The ACNielsen Home Scan Panel
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Pofahl,   Geoffrey M.; Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Clauson,   Annette L.
Using the ACNielsen HomeScan Panel over the period 1998 to 2001 as the source of data, we entertain various demand systems, namely, the LA/AIDS, the AIDS, and the QUAIDS to investigate the demand for eight non-alcoholic beverages.  Own-price, cross-price, and expenditure elasticities are obtained by year and by demand system for milk, bottled water, carbonated soft drinks, powdered soft drinks, coffee, tea, fruit juices and drinks, and isotonics.  Emphasis is placed on the magnitude of price sensitivity of households toward non-alcoholic beverages as well as on substitution and complementary patterns.  This work provides a more current and more thorough analysis associated with the non-alcoholic beverage industry than previously reported in the literature.

MEAT-PACKER CONDUCT IN FED CATTLE PRICING: MULTIPLE-MARKET OLIGOPSONY POWER
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Koontz,   Stephen R.; Garcia,   Philip.
The exercise of market power across multiple geographic fed cattle markets is measured with an econometric model which links behavior of the margin between boxed beef and regional fed cattle prices to an oligopsony model of multiple-market conduct. The game theoretic economic model suggests that for market power to be exercised in a single market a discontinuous pricing strategy must be followed. Total market power is enhance if meat-packers coordinate this pricing strategy across geographic markets. Tests reject independence of pricing conduct across geographic markets which suggests multiple-market power is present. The extent of the market power also is consistent with the economic model. More market power is exercised across regions with the same...

This study analyzes U.S. consumers' choice of cornflakes under five different labeling statements. Using a nationwide survey and choice modeling framework, results indicate that consumers value labeling statements differently, depending on the information contained on the label. The random parameter logit model results indicated that, compared to cornflakes that have no label information, cornflakes labeled "contains no genetically modified corn" have a value of 10 percent more, the label "USDA approved genetically modified corn" has a value of 5 percent more, and the label "corn genetically modified to reduce pesticide residues in your food" has a value of 5 percent more. The results also suggest that consumers negatively valued the label "contains...

Autores: Loheac,   Youenn; Combris,   Pierre; Issancou,   Sylvie.
This study introduce measures of personality traits in an experiment which associate willingness to pay for food and sensory analysis tools in order to explore potential links between personality and food decisions. Measure of personality traits comes from experimental economics (risk aversion and time preference) and from psychology (sensation seeking and impulsivity). We introduce them in the analysis of behaviours of participants in their food decisions (purchase intent, willingness to pay, reaction to new information), and underline some significant links.

Internal preference mapping of cured ham with consumer's segmentation in Spain
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Resano,   H.; Sanjuan,   Ana Isabel.
The overall acceptability of 202 consumers has been analysed by ANOVA, multiple means comparison, cluster analysis and internal preference mapping (MDPREF). Three clusters are found with different preference criteria. These clusters can also be characterized according to actual purchase behaviour, declared consumption habits and sociodemographic characteristics. This study demonstrates the importance for the agro-food industry of examining consumers’ individual preferences as well as average ones, to obtain relevant information including not only the consumers’ preference trends, but also the most suitable segment to target a new product. In this way, the MDPREF shows that although consumers’ preferences tend to Iberian hams over white-breed hams, there is...

Indian Wheat and Rice Sector Policies and the Implications of Reform
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Landes,   Maurice R.; Jha,   Shikha; Srinivasan,   P.V.
During 1998-2002, India experienced record public surpluses of wheat and rice, sharply higher government grain subsidy outlays, and declining per capita consumption of wheat and rice. By 2006, despite continued high subsidies and sluggish domestic consumption, India developed a large wheat deficit because of reduced price incentives, weak yield growth, and rising subsidized consumption. The pronounced market cycles and declining per capita consumption for India’s major food staples are creating pressure for Indian policymakers to adjust longstanding policies. While there has been no political consensus on more fundamental reform, recent policy changes have moved toward better targeting of food subsidies to low-income consumers, decentralization of...

WHOLESALE DEMAND FOR USDA QUALITY GRADED BOXED BEEF AND EFFECTS OF SEASONALITY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lusk,   Jayson L.; Marsh,   Thomas L.; Schroeder,   Ted C.; Fox,   John A.
This study estimates wholesale demand for pork, chicken, and quality differentiated beef.  We estimate meat retailer own- and cross-price demand elasticities for USDA Choice and Select boxed beef.  Results indicate that meat retailers have more elastic demand for lower quality graded beef.  Retail beef price has a strong positive relationship with Choice and Select boxed beef demand, and a strong negative relationship with wholesale pork and chicken demand.  Seasonal analysis reveals demand for both beef quality grades becomes highly price inelastic during the summer months.  The two beef quality grades are substitutes during the winter; however, Select beef is not a substitute for Choice beef in the spring and summer.

Taxing Sweets: Sweetener Input Tax or Final Consumption Tax?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Miao,   Zhen; Beghin,   John C.; Jensen,   Helen H.
In order to reduce obesity and associated costs, policymakers are considering various policies, including taxes, to change consumers’ high-calorie consumption habits. We investigate two sweet tax policies aimed at reducing added sweetener consumption. Both a consumption tax on sweet goods and a sweetener input tax can reach the same policy target of reducing added sweetener consumption. Both tax instruments are regressive but the associated surplus losses are limited. The tax on sweetener inputs targets sweeteners directly and causes about five times less surplus loss than the final consumption tax. Previous analyzes have overlooked this important point.

The lack of study among the economic forecasting literature that can empirically proves the hypothesis of being more powerfulness of dynamic neural networks in comparison with the static neural networks models for forecasting, is the most important motivation of this study. In this paper, the utilization of NNARX as a nonlinear dynamic neural network model, ANN as a nonlinear static neural network model and ARIMA as a linear model were compared to forecast poultry retail price. As a case study on Iranian poultry retail price, we compare forecast performance of these models for three forecasts (1, 2 and 4 week ahead). Results show that NNARX and ANN models outperform ARIMA model, and also NNARX model outperforms ANN model for all three forecasts.

The methodology of LaFrance and Hanemann for analysing the structure of incomplete demand systems is applied to models that are linear or logarithmic in quantities, prices and/or income. The structure of each model is presented when the implications of consumer choice theory are satisfied. The usefulness of the approach is illustrated. It is shown that considerable prior information is obtained from the theory of consumer choice when it is applied to this set of functional forms for demand equations.

Autores: Moro,   Daniele.
Micro-econometric demand modelling has been receiving an increasing attention in empirical research, mainly due to the increasing availability of micro-data. In this paper we provide a review of some relevant market and policy issues that can be analysed with the use of micro-data on demand. Problems arising from the treatment of micro-data are revised, mainly with reference to the standard neo-classical framework, although other approaches are also sketched. Finally, building on previous research, a dynamic model accounting for health issues, mainly obesity, is proposed for future research.

Does Price or Income Affect Organic Choice? Analysis of U.S. Fresh Produce Users
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Smith,   Travis A.; Huang,   Chung L.; Lin,   Biing-Hwan.
This study analyzes consumer purchasing behavior of organic fresh fruits and vegetables using the 2006 Nielsen Homescan panel. An ordered logit model was estimated to quantify the impacts of economic and socio-demographic factors on the probability of a household belonging to a specific organic user group—devoted, casual, or nonuser. Results suggest that price and income, to some extent, affect consumer purchases of organic produce. Additionally, the profile of an organic produce user is most likely to consist of an Hispanic household residing in the Western United States with children under 6 years old and a household head older than 54 years with at least a college degree.

We estimate a hedonic pricing model to quantify the relationship between clean price of lots of wool and individual lot characteristics for all superfine, fine, medium and broad wool types. We expand on existing literature by controlling for key macroeconomic conditions at the time of sale and are able to examine the longer term trend in global demand for wool by utilizing data over a number of selling seasons. Our results indicate fibre diameter, strength, breed group, vegetable matter base and fleece contamination play a key role in the purchase decision. Premiums accrue for finer, strong wool which has been grower classed, while discounts have been identified for wool tainted by branding contamination, unscourable colour or the presence of skin pieces....

Autores: Allender,   William J.; Richards,   Timothy J.
We investigate the strategic pricing for leading brands sold in the carbonated soft drink (CSD) market in the context of a flexible demand specification (i.e. random parameter nested logit) and a structural pricing equation. Our approach does not rely upon the often used ad hoc linear approximations to demand and profit-maximizing first-order conditions. We estimate the structural pricing equation using four different estimators (i.e. OLS, LIML, 2SLS, and GMM) and compare the implied deviation from Bertrand-Nash competition. Our results suggest that retailers, on average, price CSD brands below their cost, likely a result of the competitive retailing environment. We also find CSD wholesalers price their brands significantly more cooperatively than...

Autores: Wilson,   Norbert L.W.; Hall,   Thomas; Fields,   Deacue.
Based on the Retail Service Quality Scale (RSQS), we develop a tool for mangers of local farm cooperative stores to assess which customer service groups matter to their customers. Principal component analysis (PCA) reveals three customer groups. The results of the multinomial logit model showed younger patrons and homeowners are likely to deem customer service and personal interaction as important. Customers, who consider appearance and accessibility as important, are college graduates and persons dependent on farming. Older patrons and wildlife enthusiasts are likely to view the policies and reliability as important factors of service quality.

An econometric analysis of the competitive position of Australian cotton in the Japanese market
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chang,   Hui-Shung (Christie).
Although a relatively small producer, Australia exports but about 90% of its cotton production, making it the third largest cotton exporter. This means that export performance plays a major role in determining the profitability of the Australian cotton industry. The primary aim was to determine the competitive position of Australian cotton in the Japanese market, based on the AIDS model using data from 1972 to 1998. The main findings were that the United States had a relatively strong market position and that to improve its market position, Australia should become more cost competitive and/or improve its quality image through promotion.

Autores: Wise,   Timothy A.
Since the introduction of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994, traditional maize farmers in Mexico have faced difficult economic conditions. In barely more than a decade, as many as one million farmers may have abandoned their land under economic pressure from rising imports, low prices for maize and other traditional crops, weak local and regional demand, and large reductions in public sector support for agriculture. The losses are environmental as well as economic. With the loss of traditional maize, there has been a documented loss of the agricultural biodiversity of which these farmers and their ancestors have been stewards for centuries. With maize trade scheduled to be fully liberalized under NAFTA in 2008, many farm groups are...

Fruit and Vegetables, and the Role They Have Played in Determining the EU’s Aggregate Measurement of Support
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Swinbank,   Alan.
In its periodic declarations of domestic support to the WTO, the EU has progressively reduced its amber-box declarations in line with its changing system of farm support. Surprisingly, however, in 2007/08 it managed to more than halve its amber box compared with that of the previous year, easily achieving the reduction targets being touted in the Doha Round. This was largely due to a change in the calculations for fresh fruits and vegetables. These had been linked to the entry price system, which was not affected by the 2008 fruit and vegetables reform. Why the EU chose to make this change during the ongoing Doha Round negotiations remains unclear.

The U.S. Import of Beef: Substitute or Complement for Domestic Beef Production?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dhoubhadel,   Sunil P.; Stockton,   Matthew C.
U.S. beef producers have always been concerned that beef imports may depress prices. Consumer groups have held the opposite view. This research addresses this issue by assessing the impact of beef imports on wholesale domestic beef prices. This is done by estimating the flexibilities between domestic beef, choice and select grades, and imported beef at the wholesale level. No statistical evidence is found to support either producer or consumer view. This may be resultant of small import volumes of beef. Beef exports, however, have a statistically measurable effect on domestic beef prices, especially the select grade.

The Effect of the Livestock Mandatory Reporting Act on Market Transparency and Grid Price Dispersion
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fausti,   Scott W.; Qasmi,   Bashir A.; Li,   Jing; Diersen,   Matthew A.
The Livestock Mandatory Reporting Act (MPR) of 1999 was implemented in April 2001. Empirical evidence indicates a significant change in intra-week price dispersion associated with publicly reported fed cattle grid premiums and discounts occurring after MPR implementation.      The research objective is to evaluate the effect of increased market transparency resulting from implementation of MPR, on grid intra-week premium and discount dispersion levels. Empirical results suggest that increased transparency is compatible with intra-week dispersion levels increasing. Increased dispersion suggests that during the pre-MPR period weekly premium and discount data may have been drawn from a non-representative sample. From the empirical evidence, it is concluded...

Consumption patterns for chicken and eggs have changed since the outbreak of the H5N1 avian influenza (AI) throughout the world, but its potential impact on demand has not been thoroughly unveiled. Our study examines some important factors influencing behavioral changes and estimates their marginal effects by employing the censored regression model to survey data in Taiwan. Results showed that risk perceptions, overall knowledge and some socio-demographic characteristics were profound in determining changes in consumption of chicken and eggs. Public health education programs informing consumers about the AI threat may reduce their negative perceptions; therefore, consumption of chicken and eggs would not be decreased significantly enough to damage related...

Oyster Demand Adjustments to Counter-Information and Source Treatments in Response to Vibrio vulnificus
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Morgan,   O. Ashton; Martin,   Gregory S.; Huth,   William L.
A web-based contingent behavior analysis was developed to quantify the effect of both negative and positive information treatments and post harvest processes on demand for oysters. Results from a panel model indicate that consumers of raw and cooked oysters behave differently after news of an oyster-related human mortality. While cooked oyster consumers take precautionary measures against risk, raw oyster consumers exhibit optimistic bias and increase their consumption level. Further, by varying the source of a counter-information treatment, we find that source credibility impacts behavior. Oyster consumers, and in particular, raw oyster consumers, are most responsive to information provided by a not-for- profit, nongovernmental organization. Finally, post...

THE IMPACT OF FOOD SCARES ON PRICE TRANSMISSION IN INTER-RELATED MARKETS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lloyd,   Tim A.; Morgan,   C. Wyn; McCorriston,   Steve; Rayner,   Anthony J.
This paper is concerned with the impact of the BSE crisis in the UK and focuses on the spread between retail and farm prices. From a theoretical perspective we show that if market power has an effect on the spread between retail and farm prices then this determines the specification of the co-integrating relationship. We also account for different aspects of the BSE crisis including the shift in the retail demand function as well as the shift in the farm supply function due to the mutually opposing effects of a worldwide export ban and the cull of infected and older beef cattle. The empirical results suggest that the impact of the BSE crisis on farm prices to be more than double that of retail prices, the main cause of the change in the retail-farm price...

DYNAMICS OF FOOD PRICE INFLATION
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lamm,   R. McFall  Jr.
A supply-shift concept of food price inflation is offered as an explanation of why food prices have increased in recent years. This view is consistent with cost-push theories of inflation. The effects of higher farm product prices on food prices are analyzed using Pascal distributed lag models of the price adjustment process. Estimates are presented for 23 selected food products. The results indicate that higher farm prices are passed through to the retail level most quickly for food products which are not highly processed.

Autores: Bakucs,   Lajos Zoltan; Ferto,   Imre; Marreiros,   Cristina.
Typically, big changes in the economic system lead to alterations on the disposable income of families and thus on their spending for different type of products, including food. These may imply, in the long run, a structural modification of the quality of diet of the population. After the fall of the socialist system, in the past two decades Central and Eastern European countries, including Hungary, went through a profound, and sometimes difficult transition of their political and economic systems, shifting from a centralized planned economy to an open market economy, and more importantly, the European Union integration. Economic change in lower-income and transitional economies of the world appears to coincide with increasing rapid social change. With...

ENDOGENOUS CHOICE OF INSTITUTION UNDER SUPPLY AND DEMAND RISKS IN LABORATORY FORWARD AND SPOT MARKETS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Menkhaus,   Dale J.; Bastian,   Christopher T.; Phillips,   Owen R.; O'Neill,   Patrick D.
Laboratory methods are used to investigate the impacts of supply and demand risks in a forward market on prices, quantities traded, and earnings when the choice of transacting in a forward or spot market is endogenous. Forward market activity dominates spot trading, with 80-90% of the trades taking place in the forward market regardless of how risk arises. Buyer earnings tend to be higher than earnings for sellers when there is risk. A correspondence exists between risk type and the relative increase in buyer earnings. Buyer earnings increase significantly when demand is random, and also when both supply and demand are random.

Supplier reputation and price premium: the case of groundnuts in Rotterdam
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Revoredo-Giha,   Cesar; Fletcher,   Stanley M.
Firm’s reputation depends on the quality of its goods and its reliability as a supplier.  This may explain observed price differences between commodities from different origins  but with the same observable characteristics. We analyse data for the Rotterdam market  and use hedonic price analysis to show the existence of a price premium that favours  the US over other origins. As secondary information points out exporter reliability as  one explanation we formalise the relationship between reliability and price premiums in  a theoretical model and analyse its implications.

MODELING FLUID MILK SUPPLY AND DEMAND WITH PROJECTIONS TO 1985
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Rawson,   Edward M.
The intent of this study is to develop a model which represents the supply and demand relationships for fluid milk in the United States in order to forecast farm prices and the level of milk production for 1975 and to make projections to 1985 of the domestic consumption of fluid milk.  The concept of a polynomial lag formulation of milk production is combined with the use of gross margins in an attempt to more adequately reflect the impact of biological factors and other apriori information on production response to price changes.  A literature review traces the work of other authors pertinent to the development of a methodology for this study, including some of the theoretical drawbacks to the use of polynomial lags.

World Commodity Prices 1999-2000
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Matthies,   Klaus; Timm,   Hans-Joachim.
The decline of most world commodity prices came to an end in recent months. The aggregate dollar price level was 15 per cent lower in the first quarter of 1999 compared to a year previously, and since autumn 1997 it even decreased by about 30 per cent. Oil prices fell particularly sharply, but quotations began to pick up strongly in March in anticipation of further production cuts. The price index for non-energy commodities, on the other hand, decreased only slightly since last October, although prices for food items - oilseeds, sugar and tropical beverages - sank again markedly this year. The decline in industrial commodity prices largely came to a standstill in the final months of last year, but there has as yet been no recovery. This is primarily due to...

THE SEASONALITY OF PRICES RECEIVED AND PRICES PAID BY THE UNITED STATES FARMERS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Olayemi,   Joseph.
Seasonal indices represent the percentages that the prices for a particular month are of the yearly average price when the effects of major changes in demand, and year-to-year changes in supply are eliminated.  The indices represent general tendencies in prices; they do not indicate what actual prices will be in certain periods.  This paper is concerned with the analysis of the seasonality of prices received and paid by farmers between 1945 and 1965.

MEASURING COMMODITY PRICE VOLATILITY AND THE WELFARE CONSEQUENCES OF ELIMINATING VOLATILITY.
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Moledina,   Amyaz A.; Roe,   Terry L.; Shane,   Mathew.
Commodity price volatility in international markets has been used to justify numerous policy interventions, including the need for buffer stocks and counter-cyclical payments. The common measure of volatility, the standard deviation or coefficient of variation, likely overstates the actual variation faced by economic agents. By making a distinction between its predictable and unpredictable components, volatility is found to be low, suggesting that significant welfare gains may be unattainable with policy interventions designed to stabilize prices. The use of the standard deviation implies price volatility as high as 30 per cent for certain grain markets. Removing the predictable components from this measure decreases volatility to between 0.1 per cent and...

Toward a Consumer Economy in China: Implications of Changing Wage Policies for U.S. Cotton Exports
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: MacDonald,   Stephen; Pan,   Suwen; Hudson,   Darren; Tuan,   Francis C.
The effect of a Chinese minimum wage increase on China’s textile market as well as on the world cotton market is evaluated. Based on a Nonlinear Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (NQAIDS) model of China’s textile demand, the results suggest that the income elasticity for textiles is around 0.6 in China, and that apparel is less price responsive than home textiles and other textile products.  Simulation results suggest that a minimum wage increase would raise Chinese domestic textile consumption and lower Chinese textile exports. Most of the decline in textile exports by China is offset by expansion in other countries’ domestic textile production and results in a slight increase in world cotton mill utilization and higher clothing prices.

Price formation on the Northern Victorian water exchange

Autores: Brennan,   Donna C.
The opportunity cost of water in the irrigation industry is a contentious issue at present because of the commitment made by the State and Commonwealth governments to get water out of the irrigation industry for environmental flows. The estimated value of the opportunity cost will affect farmers' claims for compensation. Variation in the opportunity cost over space and the functioning of the spatial market will determine whether the efficiency costs of a simple across the board reduction in rights can be mitigated by trade or whether strategic buy back of water is required. The extent of variation in the opportunity cost of water according to seasonal conditions will affect the cost of flow policies that impact on the reliability of rights. To date, most...

This paper reports on a preliminary study which aimed to determine whether a proposed pig carcase description scheme could be regarded as appropriate for the needs of market participants in the Australian pig market. Regression techniques applied to carcase measurements and cut-out data revealed that those carcase characteristics used as the basis of the description scheme significantly explained wholesale and retail carcase values. Available evidence also suggests that market participants are using this measurement information in their trading activities.

Autores: Nicols,   Panos; Ahmadi-Esfahani,   Fredoun Z.
Literature regarding the pricing efficiency of Australian wholesale vegetable markets is very limited. The objective of this paper is to test whether or not vegetable products traded in these markets are priced efficiently and satisfy the law of one price (LOOP). To that end, the price relationships between Adelaide and Melbourne markets are tested, using the Johansen cointegration approach, Granger causality and impulse response functions. The empirical findings do not appear to satisfy the LOOP. Policy implications of the analysis are explored.

We analyse the competition in quality and quantity between a foreign firm and a domestic firm. The domestic firm can belong to a certification of origin, whereas its rival uses a pure brand strategy. We will show how the certification can allow the domestic firm to position itself as a high quality producer and improve the average quality of the products offered on the market. If, however, the certified firm offers the low quality good, the certification can permit it to guarantee a higher profit than that of its competitor and to improve the consumers' surplus by favouring product standardisation.

The matrices of food price elasticities and flexibilities derived from a complete food demand system approach are theoretical consistent and reciprocal with each other.

Autores: Gil,   Jose Maria; Angulo,   Ana Maria; Mtimet,   Nadhem.
Many commentators have claimed that farm subsidies have contributed significantly to the “obesity epidemic” by making fattening foods relatively cheap and abundant and, symmetrically, that taxing “unhealthy” commodities or subsidizing “healthy” commodities would contribute to reducing obesity rates. This paper makes three contributions. First, we review evidence from the literature on the impacts on food consumption and obesity resulting from subsidies applied in the past to production or consumption of farm commodities. Second, we develop and present new arguments and preliminary evidence on the impacts of past government investments in agricultural R&amp;D on food consumption and obesity—through research-induced increases in agricultural productivity and...

Nontraditional stores, including mass merchandisers, supercenters, club warehouse stores, and dollar stores, have increased their food offerings over the past 15 years and often promote themselves as lower priced alternatives to traditional supermarkets. How much lower are food prices at these stores? In order to better understand nontraditional stores’ impact on the cost of food, ERS analysts evaluate food price differences between nontraditional and traditional stores at the national and market level using 2004-06 Nielsen Homescan data. Findings show that nontraditional retailers offer lower prices than traditional stores even after controlling for brand and package size. Comparisons of identical items, at the Universal Product Code (UPC) level, show an...

Rising pressure on sugar prices was intensified by supply disruptions in 2009, driving prices to double the long-term average. Higher production costs and growing ethanol use in Brazil set the stage for higher prices, but policy-induced production swings among Asian countries are the main source of price volatility in world markets. Although dramatic fluctuations in world prices have affected U.S. sugar prices, domestic sugar policy continues to drive U.S. sugar price movements.

How Much Do Starting Values Really Matter? An Empirical Comparison of Genetic Algorithm and Traditional Approaches
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Tonsor,   Glynn T.; Kastens,   Terry L.
This research evaluates the impact of using different starting conditions in estimating meat demand systems.  Results suggest that as the econometric task becomes increasingly nonlinear, specification of starting conditions becomes increasingly important.  This work demonstrates implications of failing to use the best available starting value conditions and how these implications vary with the complexity of the underlying econometric model of interest.  Furthermore, this piece proposes a universal approach to be used by all applied econometric practioners to developing appropriate starting values for use in subsequent model estimation.

A source differentiated AIDS model is specified to estimate Japanese meat import demand. Block separability and product aggregation are rejected at conventional levels of significance. The model with the block substitutability restriction explains more than 95% of data variation. The empirical results indicate that the U.S. has the largest potential for beef exports to Japan. Taiwan is in a strong position in the pork market, and Thailand and China are strong in the poultry market. The U.S. competes with Canada and Taiwan in the pork market, but the competition between Taiwan and European countries is the strongest in the market. The U.S. competes with Thailand in the poultry market, where the U.S. is the most vulnerable.

Price and Quality of Pork and Broiler Products: What's the Role of Vertical Coordination?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Martinez,   Stephen W.
Significant changes in vertical coordination of the U.S. broiler industry many years ago may provide useful insight into the rapid changes occurring in today's pork industry. Under production contracts and vertical integration, the broiler industry developed and grew into the leader in U.S. meat production-outpacing beef and pork. Production efficiencies, quality assurances, and convenience in product offerings have led to falling chicken prices and rising per capita consumption. Incentives for contracting in the pork industry are similar to those in the broiler industry in many ways. The similarities suggest that consumers may also expect plentiful supplies of high-quality pork products at economical prices.

Stated Choice Experiments with Complex Ecosystem Changes: The Effect of Information Formats on Estimated Variances and Choice Parameters
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hoehn,   John P.; Lupi,   Frank; Kaplowitz,   Michael D.
Stated choice experiments about ecosystem changes involve complex information. This study examines whether the format in which ecosystem information is presented to respondents affects stated choice outcomes. Our analysis develops a utility-maximizing model to describe respondent behavior. The model shows how alternative questionnaire formats alter respondents’ use of filtering heuristics and result in differences in preference estimates. Empirical results from a large-scale stated choice experiment confirm that different format presentations of the same information lead to different preference parameter estimates and error variances. A tabular format results in choice parameter estimates with statistically smaller variances than parameters estimated from...

SHORT-RUN DEMAND RELATIONSHIPS IN THE U.S. FATS AND OILS COMPLEX
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Goodwin,   Barry K.; Harper,   Daniel C.; Schnepf,   Randall D.
Fats and oils play a prominent role in U.S. dietary patterns. Recent concerns over the negative health consequences associated with fats and oils have led many to suspect structural change in demand conditions. We consider short run (monthly) demand relationships for edible fats and oils. In that monthly quantities of fats and oils are likely to be relatively fixed, we utilize an inverse AIDS specification. Our analysis consists of two components. In the first, we utilize a smooth transition function to model a switching inverse almost ideal demand system (IAIDS) that assesses short-run demand conditions for edible fats and oils in the U.S. Our results suggest that short-run demand conditions for fats and oils experienced a rather rapid structural shift in...

MICROECONOMETRIC MODELING OF HOUSEHOLD FOOD DEMAND: THE CASE OF TRANSITION BULGARIA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Goodwin,   Barry K.; Phaneuf,   Daniel J.
Considerable optimism has been expressed about the outlook for increased exports of food products to Central and Eastern Europe. A clear understanding of the potential for increased exports to this region requires comprehension of consumers' demands for food products.  This analysis resents detailed elasticity estimate for food commodities in transition Bulgaria. The analysis is conducted in two segments.  The first considers demand for five aggregate food commodities---cereals, fruits and vegetables, meats, dairy products, other foods (including food consumed away from home and prepared foods), and all other goods. The estimates suggest relatively price inelastic demands. We find that cereals and dairy products tend to be income-inelastic while meats and...

Interpretation of Cost-Price Ratios
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jackson,   Brenda.
The usefulness of movement in costs and prices (sometimes termed the "cost-price squeeze") has been challenged by a number of authors. Despite this, a theme which remains common to some recent articles is that a decline in the ratio of prices received to prices paid denotes a situation which must be overcome. A simple model is used to demonstrate why movements in aggregate costs and prices tell us very little about the state of the agricultural sector and, in particular, about farm income. Results of the model are examined in conjunction with actual movements in selected agricultural indicators over the past twenty-five years.

THE ROLE OF ASYMMETRIC PRICE TRANSMISSION AND STRUCTURAL BREAKS IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COSTA RICAN MARKETS OF LIVESTOCK CATTLE, BEEF AND MILK
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hernandez-Villafuerte,   Karla Vanessa.
The research analyzes the price transmission among the Costa Rican markets of cattle, beef and milk, accounting for asymmetric behavior and structural breaks. Monthly price data covering the first month of 1998 to the fourth month of 2008 were used. Price transmission between each market pair was found. The Price adjustment is consistent at 1% of significant with the behaviour expected. Cattle prices adjust in the milk - cattle relationship, beef meat prices adjust in the cattle - beef meat relation and in the milk - beef meat relation. This finding supports the statement regarding the leading position of “Dos Pinos” as the main player in the market. The results of the asymmetric analysis are not as expected. The coefficients of both adjustments (positive...

DOUBLE-HURDLE MODEL WITH BIVARIATE NORMAL ERRORS: AN APPLICATION TO U.S. RICE DEMAND
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gao,   Xiaoming; Wailes,   Eric J.; Cramer,   Gail L.
Per capita rice consumption in the U.S. has doubled over the past decade. The effects of social and demographic variables on the household's rice consumption decisions are analyzed along with income and price variables. A double-hurdle model is used to solve simultaneously the consumer decisions whether to purchase rice and how much. The joint decision hypothesis is tested and accepted. The non-normal distribution of error terms may be responsible for possible bias in the empirical test of the joint decision hypothesis. The hyperbolic sine transformation is used to correct the problem in this study prior to testing the joint decision hypothesis.

Using the choice-based conjoint analysis and self explicated approach, I elicited South Korean millers’ preference and willingness to pay for the quality characteristics of hard white wheat that is used in producing all-purpose flour. In specified seven attributes, test weight, moisture, and price significantly affect to South Korean millers’ utility but protein contents, ash, dockage, and falling number does not. South Korean millers are more willing to pay to change the quality characteristics related to the milling yields and profitability, such as test weight, moisture and dockage. But their willingness-to-pay for protein content is not as big as common expectation. Along with the research of Srinivasan (1997), we found that the self-explicated...

STAGGERING AND SYNCHRONIZATION OF PRICES IN A LOW INFLATION ENVIRONMENT: EVIDENCE FROM GERMAN FOOD STORES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Loy,   Jens-Peter; Weiss,   Christoph R.
Only a few studies have analysed staggering and synchronisation in pricing behaviour of multi-product firms. These studies used low-frequency data in an environment of high rates of inflation. This paper investigates staggering and synchronisation of weekly prices for ten food products in 131 grocery stores in Germany over the period from May 1995 to December 2000 (296 weeks). Different forms of staggering and synchronisation (across-store synchronisation, within type-of-store synchronisation, within retailer synchronisation or across-product synchronisation) have been analysed. None of these forms of synchronisation is supported empirically however. In contrast, perfect staggering can only be rejected in very few cases.

Autores: Bakucs,   Lajos Zoltan; Ferto,   Imre.
There has been little systematic analysis of the extent to which organic farming policies have influenced growth in the organic sector. Analyses of organic farming policy instruments, for the most part, provide extensive and detailed reviews of instruments applied either in a single country or across countries. Hence, there is a great need to examine systematically whether there is a relationship between the introduction of organic farming policies and the growth of the organic food sector, and whether particular designs of organic farming policies are more effective than others. In this paper, we take the first step in the endeavour of analysing the effects of organic farming by undertaking an econometric analysis of the relationship between organic...

Estimation of Cost Pass Through to Michigan Consumers in the ADM Price Fixing Case

Autores: Cotterill,   Ronald W.
This report analyzes the economic impact of price fixing in the wet corn milling industry on consumers in the State of Michigan. Two of the companies who produce citric acid have pleaded guilty to fixing its price. In this report we assume that price fixing also occurred among HFCS producers. Given the structure of the corn wet milling industry and the direct purchaser industries, the overcharge is essentially uniform across buyers and selling arrangements. We develop an actual economic model of price transmission based upon the three facts: 1) The overcharge as a percent of the processed product value at wholesale and at retail is small, 2) Fixed proportion technology, and 3) consumers have imperfect information about prices so a small price change has no...

Marketing and pricing dynamics in the presence of structural breaks - the Hungarian pork market
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bakucs,   Lajos Zoltan; Ferto,   Imre.
The study of marketing margins and price transmission on various commodity markets has been a popular research topic of the past decades (see MEYER, VON CRAMONTAUBADEL, 2004, for a recent survey), however with a few exceptions these studies focused on developed economies. In this paper we examine the above phenomena on the: Hungarian pork market. The Johansen (maximum likelihood) or Engle and Granger (two step) cointegration tests do not reject the no-cointegration null hypothesis between the Hungarian pork producer and retail price series. Therefore we apply the Gregory and Hansen procedure with recursively estimated breakpoints and ADF statistics, and found that the prices are cointegrated with a structural break occurring in April 1996. Exogeneity tests...

THE INTERACTION OF WORKING AND SPECULATIVE COMMODITY STOCKS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Carter,   Colin A.; Revoredo-Giha,   Cesar.
This paper models the interaction of working (also called pipeline) and speculative commodity stocks. We model working inventories (i.e., raw material inventories carried by processors) based on Ramey’s (1989) model of inventories as factors of production, which allows us to represent storage under inter-temporal price backwardation, observed in commodity markets. We incorporate both speculative and working stocks in a simple model to analyze the interaction and to simulate the relationship between inter-temporal commodity price spreads and stocks. Our model replicates common price patters found in commodity markets.

This study examines the competitive price effect of Wal-Mart Supercenters on national brand and private label grocery prices in New England. For this purpose, we use primary price data collected on a basket of identical products from six Supercenters in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island as well as a sample of conventional supermarkets. Taking into account demographics, store characteristics, and market conditions, we estimate the average prices charged by (1) Supercenters, (2) supermarkets competing directly with Supercenters, and by (3) supermarkets geographically distant from Supercenters. By comparing prices at competing stores and at distant stores, we show that the effect of Wal-Mart Supercenters is to decrease prices by 6 to 7 percent for...

Autores: Dahl,   Bruce L.; Wilson,   William W.
The demand for high quality hard wheats has been increasing.  In this paper, factors affecting the supply and consistency of high quality wheats in Canada and North Dakota were compared and contrasted.  Differences exist in the development and release of new varieties which affect the number and quality of hard wheats produced.  Variety numbers and concentration were examined with a range of measures.   Wheat area in Canada was found to be concentrated in fewer varieties than in North Dakota.  These results were more apparent for durum than for hard red spring wheats. However, there was a trend toward more concentration in North Dakota and less in Canada.  Protein, yield, and trade-offs were compared. Alberta appears to have a comparative advantage in the...

Temporary price reductions (sales) as a means of promotional measures have become an increasingly important tool in the marketing mix of German food retailers. Various models have been proposed to explain the rationales behind such pricing strategies. Recently these models have been extended by Richards (2006) to capture the multiproduct nature of retail business. In this paper German retail food scanner data over two years are used to estimate a three step procedure to explain breadth and depth of sales, and their impact on category revenues.

Autores: Ibrahim,   Mohammed; Florkowski,   Wojciech J.
The relationship between shelled pecan prices and inventories is examined drawing using Engle-Granger and Johansen approaches to cointegration. Forecasts are made using the univariate ARIMA and cointegration methods. Monthly data are used (January 1992 to December 2004). Results suggest that both shelled pecan inventories and shelled pecan prices are nonstationary. Both Engle-Granger and Johansen cointegration tests found evidence of long run relationship between pecan prices and inventories. The ARIMA model outperformed the coointegration techniques at shorter forecast periods. The Cointegration methods, however, outperformed the ARIMA model with the Engle-Granger cointegration having the smallest MAPE statistic.

Autores: Howard,   Peter H.
Scientists predict that global warming will cause suitable habitat ranges to shift for many plant species, including blue oak in California.  If proximity to particular land cover types significantly affects human welfare, any such shifts will affect household welfare, resulting in an indirect cost that is currently unaccounted for in the climate change literature.  Using a hedonic pricing model, the marginal values of blue oaks and the land cover types most likely to replace them are estimated at multiple spatial scales using single family residences sold in Kern County from 1997 to 2003.  In addition to the common identification problems of specification error and omitted variable bias, the variables measuring the degree of proximity of a property to...

Autores: Kriesel,   Warren; McNamara,   Kevin T.
Empirical analysis of manufacturing plant location requires the use of a single industrial site quality measure.  Under hedonic price theory, the price of industrial sites can be explained by their quality characteristics.  The estimated site price is included with ten other location factors in an ordered, categorical logit model of plant attraction to Georgia counties.  The results inform public decision-makers of the relative impact of site location factors and how changes in location factors can alter the probability of attracting a manufacturing plant.

We find that peanuts from different sources are differentiated by EU consumers. The expenditure elasticity is elastic for U.S. in-shell peanuts, which is associated with their higher quality. The conditional own price elasticities are more elastic for U.S. and Chinese in-shell peanuts. These findings have at least two implications. First, U.S. producers and exporters should direct efforts to ensure that in-shell peanuts exported to the EU are of the best possible quality, and, second, promotion efforts should stress the quality of U.S peanuts as an advertising tool.

RANDOM WALKS, LEMMINGS, AND BEHAVIORISM; THE SEARCH FOR A MARKET LODESTAR
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Sondey,   John.
Per the Efficient Market Hypothesis, all new information concerning a corporation and its performance is quickly assimilated into its share price.  Hence, the assiduous investor who ferrets out "fresh" news will be nonplussed, as that information is already accounted for in the stock's price.  With no reward to revelation, the standard recourse is investment in a representative market basket and a wait for "lightning" to strike already-held shares.  However, recent market bubbles (Nasdaq, 2000-01)and lemming-like rushes to the sea of profit, suggest that irrational investor behavior creates inefficient, unpredictable markets.  The irony is that, the internet, which provides the investor with near-perfect information, also helps create inefficiencies by...

USING FUTURES PRICES TO FORECAST THE SEASON-AVERAGE U.S. CORN PRICES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hoffman,   Linwood A.
A model is developed using basis values (cash prices less futures), marketing weights, and a composite of monthly futures and cash prices to forecast the season-average U.S. corn farm price. Forecast accuracy measures include the absolute percentage error, mean absolute percentage error, squared error, and mean squared error. The futures model forecasts are compared to USDA's WASDE projections. No statistically significance difference was found between the futures model forecasts and the season-average price projections from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Futures model forecasts are reliable, and timely.

THE SHORT-RUN IMPACT OF BEEF IMPORTS ON U.S. MEAT PRICES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Houck,   James P.
This paper contains short-run estimates of the impact of beef imports from Australia and elsewhere on U.S. retail meat prices. The U.S. beef demand is separated into two categories, table cuts and processed items. Estimates of direct and cross price elasticities of demand for these products are used together with elasticity estimates for other meats and other foods to assess the effect of imports on prices and upon various portions of the Consumer Price Index.

Analysis of Import Demand for Wooden Beds in the U.S.
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Wan,   Yang; Sun,   Changyou; Grebner,   Donald L.
The market of wooden beds in the U.S. has been flooded with imports from China and Vietnam in recent years. Static and dynamic Almost Ideal Demand System models are used to assess the import demand for wooden beds from the top seven supplying countries. The analyses reveal that the antidumping investigation on China has some temporary trade depression effect on China, but trade diversion occur  to Vietnam, Indonesia, Canada, and Brazil. The formal implementation of antidumping duties since 2005 has not shown any significant effect on the trade pattern. U.S. consumers spend more on beds from newly industrialized countries and there are moderate degrees of substitution among wooden beds from most countries.

A German federal research was established to analyse determinants on school milk demand. Among those, individual factors, like children’s eating habits, attitudes, preferences and socio-economic variables were considered but also contextual factors like attitudes and habits of class teachers and school variables were regarded; and more, price effects on demand were derived via a price experiment. As girls order significantly less school milk than boys this paper aims to analysis gender-specific decisions. In the analysis, a database is used in which individual order information are merged with survey results concerning pupils, parents, class teachers, school principals and school milk managers of the sampled schools. A multilevel analysis is applied,...

German Rapeseed Oil and Biodiesel Pricing under Changing Market Conditions: A Markov-switching Vector Error Correction Model Approach

Autores: Busse,   Stefan; Ihle,   Rico.
We analyze vertical price transmission in the German biodiesel market studying the relationship between rapeseed oil, soya oil and biodiesel prices. We focus on the period from summer 2002 to late 2007 during which the German biodiesel market developed into the largest market worldwide, mainly driven by political intervention. Tests on the adequacy of a traditional linear vector error correction model provide strong evidence against it and favor a regime-dependent model. We consider the Markov-switching vector error correction model which allows for parameter switching between regimes to be suitable for the question to be analyzed. We find two distinct regimes with differing error-correction behavior. Estimation results indicate that only rapeseed oil...

Autores: Miljkovic,   Dragan; Marsh,   John M.; Brester,   Gary W.
Japanese import demand for U.S. beef and pork products and the effects on domestic livestock prices are econometrically estimated.  Japan is the most important export market for U.S. beef and pork products.  Results indicate foreign income, exchange rates, and protectionist measures are statistically significant.  The comparative statistics quantify the effects of recent economic volatility.  For example, the 1995-1998 depreciation in the Japanese yen (39%) reduced U.S. slaughter steer and hog prices by $1.29 per cwt and $0.99 per cwt, respectively, while the 1994-1998 reduction in tariffs (14%) increased slaughter steer and hog prices by $0.49 per cwt and $0.33 per cwt, respectively.  Livestock producers will continue to have a vested interest in Asian...

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Benjamin,   Catherine; Houee-Bigot,   Magalie.
The flow of agricultural products between countries is conditioned by several factors including domestic and trade policy tools for the main competing exporters countries, and macroeconomic variables (such as real income per capita, rate of population growth,etc). Important structural changes are occurring on world agricultural markets that will have an impact on the long term competitiveness of countries and regions. These changes include developments in biofuels production linked to policy incentives, and the rapid growth in income and population numbers in some developing countries (such as India and China). An important issue is to identify the factors that are going to modify the balance between the supply and demand for agricultural products in the...

Demands for Food Products Across the Development Spectrum: Application of a Rank Four Demand System
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cranfield,   John A.L.
A rational rank four AIDS model (RAIDS) is used to estimate consumer demands for final goods and services in countries spanning the development spectrum.  RAIDS is used as it provides more general price and expenditure responses.  It also nests the Quadratic and non-liner AIDS models.  RAIDS is estimated using the entire sample and sub-samples based on the country's level of per capita expenditure.  Results indicate selection of nested functional form differs by sub-sample.  AIDS is selected for the low per capita expenditure countries, sample is considered.  Differences in parameter estimates manifest themselves in price and Engel elasticities.  Such differences warrant caution when using global demand systems to undertake policy analysis.

Consumer Preferences for Attributes of Organic Processed Foods: The Case of Soymilk In the United States
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Zheng,   Yue; Peterson,   Hikaru Hanawa; Li,   Xianghong.
Organic soymilk has been one of the fastest growing products in the organic food sector in recent years. Due to the shortage of domestically grown organic soybeans, outsourcing became a practice in the industry. It was estimated by some industry insiders that about 50% of organic soybeans consumed in the United States were imported from China (Cornucopia Institute, 2009). In 2009, the Organic Consumers Association called for a boycott of Silk products because it was reported that Silk, the dominant national brand in organic soymilk market, sourced organic soybeans from China and Brazil based on disputable standards. Under public pressure, Silk brand soymilk started to substitute U.S. grown non-genetically modified (GM) soybeans for imported organic...

Making the world market price endogenous within the AGMEMOD modelling framework: an econometric solution
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Listorti,   Giulia; Esposti,   Roberto.
This paper aims at making the world price endogenous within the AGMEMOD modelling approach. This approach constructs country-level commodity market models where supply and demand sides are equalized on the basis of the observed domestic prices. These prices are endogenous as they depend (price transmission equation) on a EU key-price, which is, in turn, endogenously determined by the world price (price formation equation). The world prices, however, are assumed to be exogenous. To make the world price endogenous, we propose a system of equations where the EU key-price and the world price are simultaneously determined. This system of equations, written in a dynamic and error-correction form (VECM), substitutes the usual price-formation equation, while price...

Autores: Henry-Osorio,   Miguel; Dong,   Diansheng.
This study updates existing literature on consumer/household demand for fiber by examining household purchase dynamics for dietary fiber. It uses a dynamic Tobit model that allows past purchase occasions to affect current purchase decisions for fiber in a framework that captures simultaneously state dependence, unobserved households heterogeneity preferences, and serial correlation caused by a stationary first-order choice process. The model controls for the unobserved heterogeneity by adopting a Gaussian random effects specification. It also captures variations in prices over time and controls for left-censoring. The dynamic model is estimated using the Geweke-Hajivasssiliou-Keane recursive probability simulator and a unique dataset that contains detailed...

SUPERMARKETPRICES REDUX

Autores: Chi,   R.; Lesser,   William H.
This study attempts to reconcile divergent results between two previous studies of CRJprice affects for supermarkets. A more complete data set from Kaufman and Handy is used in an earlier model by Marion et al. to determine if the differences are attributable to (1) model specifications, (2) interim structural change or (3) role of leading firm compared to all firms. The first two comparisons were indeterminate but the third provides some support for the CRJprice hypothesis compared to the size economy/service explanations. While not conclusive, these results argue for caution in rejecting SMSA supermarket concentration as an influence over prices.

Gorman Engel curves are extended to incomplete systems. The roles of Slutsky symmetry and homogeneity/adding up are isolated in the rank and functional form restrictions for Gorman systems. Symmetry determines the rank condition. The maximum rank is three for incomplete and complete systems. Homogeneity/adding up determines the functional form restrictions in complete systems. There is no restriction on functional form in an incomplete system. Every full rank and minimal deficit reduced rank Gorman system has a representation as a polynomial in a single function of income. This generates a complete taxonomy of indirect preferences for Gorman systems. Using this taxonomy, we develop models of incomplete Gorman systems that nest rank and functional form and...

Autores: Park,   Timothy A.; Lohr,   Luanne.
We examine consistency with economic theory of markup decisions for a risk averse firm facing demand uncertainty.  We derive testable comparative static results that describe the influence on the markup of expected demand, demand uncertainty, average variable costs and exogenous demand shifters.  We test the model using data from the wholesale market for organic lettuce. Our results demonstrated that risk averse  wholesalers raise markups as expected demand increases and reduce them as uncertainty increases.

THE EFFECTS OF SINGLE FARM PAYMENTS ON SCOTTISH AGRICULTURE: A CGE MODELING APPROACH
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gelan,   Ayele; Schwarz,   Gerald.
Using a CGE model calibrated on Scottish data, this paper examines two important issues related to evaluating impacts of the Single Farm Payment. These are specification of product transformation functions and investigation into supply elasticity parameter. Simulation results from a standard CGE were compared with those from an alternative optimisation framework proposed in this study. The latter yielded a policy effect that is likely to represent behaviour of a profit maximising farmer. The parameter sensitivity analysis showed the important role differences in supply conditions can play; which implied a need for further econometric studies to estimate supply parameters.

The Distributional Impacts of Non-Uniform Pricing Schemes for Cooperatives
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fulton,   Murray E.; Vercammen,   James.
The traditional pricing mechanism examined in the economic literature on cooperatives is uniform (or linear) pricing. The conclusion of the literature is that uniform pricing mechanisms will often give rise to economic inefficiencies. These inefficiencies emerge when the cooperative is operating in a region of either increasing average cost or decreasing average cost. The reason for these inefficiencies is that uniform pricing schemes cannot allocate the profits or losses of a cooperative among its members without distorting the decisions members make. The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of non-uniform pricing in generating efficient outcomes and to examine the distributional effects of simple non-uniform pricing schemes. Although the focus of...

Limitations of Granger Causality Analysis to assess the price effects from the financialization of agricultural commodity markets under bounded rationality
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Grosche,   Stephanie.
Modern agricultural commodity markets are simultaneously governed by a physical and a financial market element. Whether financial “index trading” activity influences price levels on the futures markets has been investigated by empirical studies using Granger Causality Analysis. A critical review of these studies reveals inconclusive results. Based on sensitivities of the method, reasons for limited interpretability of results may be omitted determinants of financial trading activity, failure to consider the informational efficiency of markets, time-varying and feedback effects of boundedly rational heterogeneous trading strategies and limitations in specifying adequate theoretical variables from existing data.

Almost all applications of the Travel-Cost-Method demand function which include site quality variable(s) are multisite models. The results of this study serve as a note of warning that using the demand equation derived from multisite cross-sectional data to perform a benefit-cost analysis of changes in quality at a single site may not accurately predict the resulting change in the number of trips to that site. In this situation, estimates of the benefits of quality improvements may be unreliable.

Demand for Nutrients: The Household Production Approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chung,   Rebecca H.; Lee,   Jonq-Ying; Brown,   Mark G.
This study uses the household production theory to study the demand for nutrients, i.e., households purchase a combination of food items from the market and produce the needed nutrients from these food items. By following the traditional household production approach, shadow prices for nutrients in food consumption are calculated. The cost function that generates the shadow prices appears plausible in terms of its elasticities of substitution and factor demand. After obtaining the calculated shadow prices of nutrients, the nutrient demand functions are estimated. Results show that the own-price elasticity of demand for nutrient is inelastic, whereas the expenditure elasticities indicate that nutrients are normal goods. Crossprice elasticities show that...

The Thrifty Food Plan (TFP), a fundamental part of the U.S. food guidance system and the basis for maximum food stamp allotments, has been revised by USDA’s Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion (CNPP), with assistance from USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), Economic Research Service (ERS), and Agricultural Research Service (ARS). The TFP provides a representative healthful and minimal cost meal plan that shows how a nutritious diet may be achieved with limited resources. The Plan assumes that all purchased food is consumed at home. The TFP was last revised in 1999. The newly revised (2006) TFP differs from, and improves upon, the previous TFP in a number of ways. The 2006 TFP: • Is based on the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans as well as...

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Thompson,   Stanley R.; Gohout,   Wolfgang.
We use a simple nonlinear commodity market model to illustrate the impact of recent reforms of the CAP on the variability of EU and world wheat prices. Second, within an expected utility framework we estimate the transfer and risk effects on producer welfare due to market liberalizing reforms. We found that wheat producers were over-compensated for the losses due to lower prices following the 1992 reforms. The transfer effect clearly dominated while the risk component was small. Further, we did not find producer incomes to be more unstable following to the 1992 CAP reforms.

Autores: Dhuyvetter,   Kevin C.; Schroeder,   Ted C.; Simms,   Danny D.; Bolze,   Ronald P., Jr.; Geske,   Jeremy.
Bulls are an important investment for commercial beef cattle producers since, over time, bulls introduce most of the new genetic attributes into typical beef cow herds. Therefore, heritable bull traits determine bull prices. Bulls possess a large number of traits to consider in pricing. In recent years, new measures of both qualities have been introduced in the form of expected progeny differences (EPDs). This study estimates market values associated with specific bull attributes, recently introduced EPDs, and bull sale marketing efforts.  Important bull price determinants include bull color, polled, conformation, muscling, disposition, age, birth weight, weaning weight, milk EPD, birth and weaning weight EPDs, sale location, order bull was sold, whether...

PROGRAM AND NONPROGRAM WHEAT ACREAGE RESPONSES TO PRICES AND RISK
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Krause,   Mark A.; Lee,   Jung-Hee; Koo,   Won W.
Wheat acreage responses to expected wheat price and price risk are reversed for program and nonprogram-planted acreage in the northern plains, central plains, southern plains, and U.S. Expected wheat price has a strong negative effect on program-complying wheat acreage. Government support prices have a positive effect on program-complying and program-planted acreage. Price risk has a positive effect on program-complying wheat acreage and a negative effect on nonprogram-planted acreage. Estimated price elasticities are higher than in studies where risk was ignored.

Identification and Estimation of Social Interaction-Based Models: A Changes-In-Changes Approach with an Application to Adolescent Substance Use
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Yang,   Muzhe.
This paper outlines a method for detecting and assessing the strength of social interactions through a changes-in-changes design. The proposed approach is based on a linear-in-means model and aims to resolve the "reflection problem", unobserved heterogeneities and endogenous group formation that plague identification of social interactions. Using longitudinal data from Add Health with rarely collected information on peer group's composition, we explore an exogenous variation in peer's drug use induced by a "mover friend" that occurs between Add Health's survey periods. This quasi-experiment shares a similar nature of a policy intervention of removing drug-user friends from a peer group. Such treatment-control group differences together with changes over...

AGGREGATE FOOD DEMAND ANALYSIS FOR A TRANSITIONAL ECONOMY: AN APPLICATION TO CHINESE HOUSEHOLD EXPENDITURE DATA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Shi,   Hongqi; Mittelhammer,   Ronald C.; Wahl,   Thomas I.
An analytical framework to assess the effects of changing income and socio-demographic distributions on aggregate food demand functions in transitional economies is presented. Ignoring such distributional effects can lead to biased estimates of aggregate demand elasticities. The proposed method is applied to Chinese urban household expenditure survey data. The results indicate that the drastic distributional changes that have occurred in China have had notable effects on estimated demand elasticities for both food and non-food commodity groups.

PRICING EFFICIENCY IN THE RETAIL MEAT MARKET
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Naughtin,   John C.; Quilkey,   John J.
The degree of pricing efficiency achieved in the retail meat market is reconsidered in this paper. The approach adopted is to develop an economic model of the pricing behaviour of retail butchers, to postulate a behavioural model consistent with the economic model, and to test this model using the data supplied by three retail butchers. The results indicate that the deleterious effects of price levelling and averaging practices on pricing efficiency may have been understated in earlier studies. It is concluded that further research is required to re-assess the extent of the problem of pricing efficiency in the retail meat market.

The Impact of Social Capital on the Implicit Price Paid by the Italian Consumer for Fair Trade Coffee
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bosbach,   Moritz; Maietta,   Ornella Wanda.
Consumers in developed countries are increasingly interested in the consumption of food products incorporating ethical aspects, particularly fair trade products. These products are usually distributed in a network of World Shops and, more recently, in supermarkets and shopping centres. The fair trade product with the highest market share is coffee. This study aims to ascertain the implicit price paid by Italian consumers for the fair trade content of coffee and how this implicit price is influenced by the level of social capital of the territory where consumers live. The data utilised are scanner data, based on the purchase at supermarkets and shopping centres observed from 2005 to 2007, referred to a territorial unit that is the province. Since scanner...

Empirical Evaluation of the Relative Forecasting Performances of Fixed and Varying Coefficient Demand Models
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Nyankori,   James Cyprian Okuk; Hammig,   Michael D.
The forecast performances of the fixed coefficient demand model are compared with those of spline function and the Cooley-Prescott varying parameter demand models using consumption and price data for beef, pork, chicken and turkey. In general, the varying parameter models outperformed the fixed coefficient model and the spline function varying parameter model appears to be slightly superior to the Cooley-Prescott model. However, no single model was consistently superior over all the commodities in the capacity to predict either the turning points or commodity levels. Apparently, the explicit specification of structural change using spline rather than random coefficient model offers some improvement in commodity forecasting.

Stopping Start-Ups: How the Business Cycle Affects Entrepreneurship
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Yu,   Li; Orazem,   Peter F.; Jolly,   Robert W.
This study analyzes whether economic conditions at the time of labor market entry affect entrepreneurship, using difference in business start-ups between cohorts of college students graduating in boom or bust economic conditions. Those graduating during an economic bust tend to delay their business start-ups relative to boom period graduates by about two years. Those results are consistent with additional findings that higher unemployment rates at time of graduation significantly delay the first business start-up across all college graduation cohorts over the 1982-2004 period. The adverse effect of a bust is temporary, delaying but not preventing self-employment over the life-cycle.

A Note on Supply Responses in the Adelaide Whole Milk Zone
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dragovich,   Deidre.
In the Adelaide whole milk supply area, licensed dairymen are encouraged by higher bonus payments to maintain production during the summer and autumn months. High bonus payments in the late 1950s encouraged dairymen to increase output, but by 1960-61 the Adelaide whole-milk market was substantially oversupplied, principally as a result of marked increases in productivity on dairy holdings. Excess supplies have resulted in declining butterfat prices, but productivity gains have been sufficient to maintain rising farm incomes for the more specialised producers remaining in the whole-milk industry.

This study tests hypotheses derived from the theory of rationing using data for Polish households during the transition.  There are six commodity groups and virtual prices are derived for rationed goods.  The evidence is consistent with the theory: larger own-price elasticities for non-rationed goods after the reform, increased complementarity and decreased substitutability.

Effects of Decoupling on the Average and the Variability of Output
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Serra,   Teresa; Zilberman,   David; Goodwin,   Barry K.; Featherstone,   Allen M.
Previous research has ignored the influence of inputs on output risk when assessing the effects of decoupled income-support payments on production decisions. This paper studies the impacts of agricultural policy decoupling on output variability and mean by explicitly considering the influence of agricultural input use on the stochastic component of production. We develop a theoretical framework that studies production responses of agricultural producers to apparently decoupled payments. Results show that, under DARA preferences, government transfers will have the effect of increasing production risk. Inferences on the effects of payments on output mean are also made. In our empirical application we use farm-level data collected in Kansas to illustrate the...

Emerging Markets for GM Foods: A Study of  Consumer's Willingness to Pay in India
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Deodhar,   Satish Y.; Ganesh,   Sankar; Chern,   Wen S.
A random utility approach is used to estimate logit equations which indicate what factors affect the likelihood of consumption of non-GM and GM foods, and, whether or not consumers are willing to pay a premium for non-GM/GM foods.  Ceteris paribus as the price difference between non-GM and GM food rose, people were more likely to consume GM foods.  Likelihood of GM food consumption was higher in the middle income brackets.  Consumers were willing to pay an expected premium of 19.5% and 16.12% for golden rice and GM edible oil respectively.  In case of chicken, consumers seemed to pay a very negligible premium for non-GM fed chicken.  Overall, it appears that GM foods may be acceptable in the Indian market.  However, basic awareness about the GM foods may...

PRICE EFFECTS OF WOOL MARKETING INNOVATIONS: SOME EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jackson,   Brenda; Spinks,   Murray.
Conflicting claims are often made about the price effects of specific wool marketing innovations. In this paper, a regression model is used to estimate the price effects of two innovations, namely, computerised selling by separation and pre-sale, dense packaging of wool. The results are indicative of aggregate price differentials between wool sold via the 'normal' system and via an innovative system for the particular wool types and sale dates analysed. The extent to which price effects may be offset by differences in selling charges is also considered. In addition, some underlying reasons for price differences, where they exist, are proposed.

A STUDY OF ASIAN-AMERICAN RICE DEMAND IN HOUSTON, TEXAS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Goodwin,   Harold L., Jr.; Holcomb,   Rodney B.; Rister,   M. Edward.
Responses to a product placement study of five long-grain rice varieties in 192 Asian-American households in Houston, Texas were utilized to estimate a quality-adjusted price model for rice demand. Quantity-dependent demand functions were estimated using actual price, quality-adjusted price, and no price scenarios. Results indicate that, although price was statistically significant, it explained very little of the variation in the quantity of rice demanded; further, income was not significant in determining rice demand for Asian Americans. Their demand appears to be driven primarily by ethnic and cultural considerations and household characteristics. Implications for retail marketing are discussed.

The paper develops a new productive household model and a consistent household fullincome/ expenditure demand system for inputs and leisure of U.S. households. The demand system is fitted to U.S. annual aggregate data over the last half of the 20th century and findings include that the price and income elasticity of demand for food-at-home are roughly two times larger than for food-away-from-home and that food-at-home and away-from-home are substitutes. The price and income elasticity of demand for men’s unpaid housework are twice as large as for women’s unpaid housework and women’s and men’s unpaid housework are shown to be complements.

Autores: Nzuma,   Jonathan M.; Sarker,   Rakhal.
Despite significant progress in theory and empirical methods, the analysis of food consumption patterns in developing countries, particularly those in Sub Saharan Africa has received very limited attention. An attempt is made in this article to estimate an Error Corrected Almost Ideal Demand System for four major cereals consumed in Kenya employing annual data from 1963 to 2005. The model performs well both on theoretical and empirical grounds. All own-price elasticities are negative and statistically significant and all cereals are necessities both in the short-run and in the long-run in Kenya.

This paper investigates the effects of banning soft drinks in schools on purchases outside of school. We utilize unique household-level and store-level data sources in combination with time-series and cross-sectional variation of state-level regulations in a difference-in-differences (DD) approach. We detect a decrease in the overall trend in sales, but observe this downward trend in households with and without children, as well as in states with and without regulation. Controlling for advertising allows us to further reject that leading brands intensify their advertising efforts and target children to potentially offset their reduced presence at schools. Finally, we find no evidence of substitution effects among possible beverage product alternatives. Our...

COMMODITY POLICY, PRICE INCENTIVES, AND THE GROWTH IN PER-ACRE YIELDS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Foster,   William E.; Babcock,   Bruce A.
We estimate the influence of policy-induced price changes and of technology supply on North Carolina flue-cured tobacco yields.  The decline in land rent and effective output price that accompanied a 1965 policy change from acreage allotments to poundage quotas caused a 12 percent decrease in yields.  Farmer yields were more responsive to yield-increasing technologies under acreage allotments than under poundage quotas.  Annual yield growth was 0.5 percent under poundage quotas and 4.32 percent under acreage allotments.  The growth rate decline is attributable to changes in relative prices and to a slowdown in the supply of available technologies.

Agricultural Price Transmission Across Space and Commodities During Price Bubbles
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Esposti,   Roberto; Listorti,   Giulia.
This paper analyses the horizontal transmission of cereal price shocks both across different market places and across different commodities. The analysis is carried out using Italian and international weekly spot (cash) price data and concentrating the attention on years 2006-2010, a period of generalized exceptional exuberance and consequent rapid drop of agricultural prices. The work aims at investigating how price transmission may be affected during price bubbles. The properties of price time series are firstly explored to assess which data generation process may have eventually produced the observed patterns. Secondly, the interdependence across prices is specified and estimated adopting appropriate cointegration techniques.

The grocery retail channel represents a potential for increased sales for catfish products because of the competitive nature that imported catfish fillets pose at foodservice market channels. The study examined the potential for selling a household-size pack of IQF 6-fillets of catfish through the grocery market channels, and consumers' willingness to pay for the product. Data used were obtained from a survey conducted in selected southern U.S. cities. Results suggest that households will purchase such grocery retail packages and will be willing to pay an average price of $4.37/lb. Important factors found to affect willingness to pay include; fish buying patterns, household size, race, age and gender.

Rising demand for livestock products in India: nature, patterns and implications
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Vasant,   P. Ghandi; Zhang-Yue,   Zhou.
With a large population and recent growth in consumer income, India’s demand for food has increased. However, research continues to emphasise basic foods, and the demand for livestock products remains poorly understood. This study examines the demand for livestock products by Indian consumers using national sample survey data. The study shows that there has been a rapid rise in the demand for livestock products in India. Within the livestock products group, milk and milk products hold the dominant share. Our analysis further suggests that India’s rapid rise in the demand for livestock products may far outpace its domestic supply. Implications are discussed.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Zheng,   Zhihao; Henneberry,   Shida Rastegari.
The impact of changes in income distribution on food demand in the urban Jiangsu province of China is estimated in this study. Findings suggest that changes in income distribution have a considerable impact on the demand for individual food commodity groups. Therefore, given that a significant change in income distribution has occurred in urban China, food demand projections should account for expected changes in future income distribution.

FABRICATED CUT BEEF PRICES AS LEADING INDICATORS OF FED CATTLE PRICE
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Owen,   C. Jane; Sporleder,   Thomas L.; Bessler,   David A.
Temporal relationships are investigated among fabricated cut prices, carcass value, and fed cattle prices. Also, linkages between fed cattle and wholesale beef prices are examined using vector autoregressive (VAR) techniques. Results, using daily prices over the 1980-85 period, suggested that fabricated cut prices and cattle prices are related to the imputed carcass value, carcass quote, and fed cattle prices. In addition, three fabricated cuts dominate as leading indicators of fed cattle prices of most fabricated cut prices. They are strip loin and bottom and top round prices. VAR models outperform the univariate and random-walk models of forecasting ability.

Impacts of Fat and Cholesterol Information On Consumer Demand: Application of New Indexes
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chern,   Wen S.; Zuo,   Jun.
Consumers' beliefs in the benefits of reducing fat intakes, especially saturated fat, and of increasing calcium intake from such foods as dairy products, depend upon the acquired information related to diet and health.  This study develops new health information measures from different sources.  The monthly information indexes, constructed for 1980-93, show that the amount of consumer information related to fat and cholesterol in circulation reached the highest levels during 1989-90. The results from an empirical application show that these new indexes of consumer health information about fats and cholesterol could explain the changing patterns of consumer choice for whole milk vs. lower fat milk in the United States.

A Note on the Theory of Price Determination in the Australian Beef Market
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Reeves,   G.W.; Longmire,   James L.
The view is taken that institutional factors operating in the international beef market limit the usefulness of a competitive spatial equilibrium model for understanding the process of price formation in the Australian beef market. A simple theoretical model is developed to demonstrate the impact of the U.S. beef quota and Australia's meat export control scheme on Australian beef prices. It is argued that Australian beef prices are related to the weighted average of export prices rather than any "world" price. Implications for the direction and volume of Australia's beef exports are discussed.

This paper uses a partial equilibrium commodity model of the EU agricultural market to examine the impact on the EU of two possible trade reform scenarios that could emerge under a World Trade Organisation (WTO) agreement. It explores the potential outcome up to 2017 under these scenarios, against a 2008 Baseline where trade policies are unchanged.  A particular feature of the paper is that it explores the issue of sensitive product designation in some detail. It demonstrates the complexity of the operation of tariffs and tariff rate quotas in key commodity markets and highlights how these complexities may produce different outcomes for particular commodity sectors.  It is found that sensitive product designation is of value to the EU beef sector in...

The robusta coffee market has experienced changes which are characterized by a growth in the demand and the confirmation of Vietnam as the world’s greater producer and exporter leaving behind traditional producers as Indonesia. These changes motivated the analysis of international price integration and the main markets of this commodity: Vietnam, Brazil, Indonesia and India. It was tested the hypothesis that Vietnam transmits prices shocks to the other markets. The framework used the analysis of co-integration and the Vector Error Correction (VEC) model. It was shown that, in the period from 1988 to 2005, the foreign price and the ones from Vietnam, Brazil and Indonesia were integrated and the India’s price was affected by factors that are not common to...

Autores: Bolten,   Jan; Kennerknecht,   Raphael; Spiller,   Achim.
In this paper we discuss the impact of customer satisfaction and enthusiasm on the performance of small retailers in the organic food market. The analysis of customer satisfaction and shop data confirm essential economic effects. The study is based on 948 customer interviews and an analysis of management ratios of 12 organic food shops in Germany. The results show that customer satisfaction is a relevant key to sales performance. Regression analysis reveals that overall customer satisfaction accounts for 32 % of sales per square meter sales area. An additional factor analysis identifies service and product quality as main determinant s of customer satisfaction. Consumer s consider the freshness of fruit and vegetables as representative for the quality of...

The Value of Public Price Forecasts: Additional Evidence in the Live Hog Market
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Manfredo,   Mark R.; Sanders,   Dwight R.
USDA and Cooperative Extension Service forecasts of hog prices are directly tested for incremental value vis-à-vis futures-based forecasts in a forecast encompassing framework. At horizons less than six months, the lean hog futures-based forecast is found to be more accurate than both the USDA and Extension Service forecasts, and the difference in forecasting performance is statistically significant. Not only are the agency forecasts less accurate, but neither the USDA nor the Extension Service forecasts add incremental information relative to the futures forecast. The results suggest that extension forecasters may want to refocus forecasting efforts on basis relationships, longer forecast horizons, or commodities without active futures markets.

Wine tax reform: The impact of introducing a volumetric excise tax for wine
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fogarty,   James Joseph; Jakeman,   Guy.
In addition to the GST, alcohol sold in Australia is subject to excise tax. Although both beer and spirits are subject to a volumetric excise tax, wine is subject to an additional value added tax known as the Wine Equalisation Tax (WET). The recent Henry tax review recommended substantial changes to Australian alcohol taxation policy. Here, the implications for the wine industry of the Henry tax review recommendations are explored using a computable general equilibrium model. The results show that: (i) replacement of the WET with a revenue neutral volumetric excise tax would have a small negative impact on the wine industry; (ii) removal of the WET rebate would have a substantial negative impact on small wineries; and (iii) applying a uniform alcohol tax...

Futures Basis for Cotton:  Impact of Globalization and Structural Change
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: MacDonald,   Stephen; Meyer,   Leslie A.
A model of commodity futures contract basis was developed based on Working’s theory of the price of storage.  An error-correction model was estimated for the basis for the InterContinental Exchange (ICE) #2 cotton contract maturing in December during 2000-08.  The model was also extended to incorporate the impact of changes in market activity that evolved as financial markets and commodity price behavior underwent significant changes after 2005.  The model captured the inversion of basis following the collapse of China’s crop in 2003, but the shock realized during 2008 may have been in part driven by one-time events not included in the model.  Estimates from the error-correction model suggest an extended period for the return of basis to equilibrium,...

FORECASTING FED CATTLE, FEEDER CATTLE, AND CORN CASH PRICE VOLATILITY: THE ACCURACY OF TIME SERIES, IMPLIED VOLATILITY, AND COMPOSITE APPROACHES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Manfredo,   Mark R.; Leuthold,   Raymond M.; Irwin,   Scott H.
Economists and others need estimates of future cash price volatility to use in risk management evaluation and education programs.  This paper evaluates the performance of alternative volatility forecasts for fed cattle, feeder cattle, and corn cash price returns.  Forecasts include time series (e.g. GARCH), implied volatility from options on futures contracts, and composite specifications.  The overriding finding from this research, consistent with the existing volatility forecasting literature, is that no single method of volatility forecasting provides superior accuracy across alternative data sets and horizons.  However, evidence is provided suggesting that risk managers and extension educators use composite methods when both time series implied...

Florida’s citrus industry has a long history of using generic advertising as a primary instrument for shifting demand for various forms of citrus juices. Consumption behavior and consumer responses to these advertising are expected to substantially differ with each type of citrus juice These juices are classified into several groups defined as: frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ); refrigerated ready to-  service not form concentrate (NFC); and refrigerated ready-to-service from concentrated  orange juice (RECON). RECON comes from the fact that bulk concentrate has to be  reconstituted into the ready-to-service form. While these juices may be substitutable, they  fundamentally differ in both form and perception about the product attributes. Furthermore,...

Autores: Gubanova,   Tatiana; Lohr,   Luanne; Park,   Timothy A.
Organic farmers, wholesalers, and retailers need price forecasts to improve their decision-making practices. This paper presents a methodology and protocol to select the best performing method from several time and frequency domain candidates. Weekly farmgate prices for organic fresh produce are used. Forecasting methods are evaluated on the basis of an aggregate accuracy measure and several out-of-sample predictive ability tests. A seasonal autoregressive method is recommended for all planning horizons. The role of better price forecasts for the agents who deal in less common organic produce is highlighted. A confirmation for the claim that the organic produce industry needs better farmgate price forecasts to grow is provided.

This analysis uses the 2011 FAPRI-CARD (Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute–Center for Agricultural and Rural Development) baseline to evaluate the impact of four alternative scenarios on U.S. and world agricultural markets, as well as on world fertilizer use and world agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. A key assumption in the 2011 baseline is that ethanol support policies disappear in 2012. The baseline also assumes that existing biofuel mandates remain in place and are binding. Two of the scenarios are adverse supply shocks, the first being a 10% increase in the price of nitrogen fertilizer in the United States, and the second, a reversion of cropland into forestland. The third scenario examines how lower energy prices would impact world...

A Long Memory Conditional Variance Model for International Grain Markets
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jin,   Hyun Joung.
The study explores a long memory conditional volatility model on international grain markets, demonstrating importance of modeling both temporal effects of volatility and long memory process. This study adopts six different volatility models, nested in an ARMA(p,q)- FIGARCH(P,D,Q), to capture dependence of grain cash price volatility and compares the performance of the six models. It also visits a related question about non-normal behaviors of grain prices and adopts the student-t density intended to account for fat-tailed properties of the data. We find suitability of the FIGARCH type models under the student-t distribution and competitiveness of the parsimonious FIGARCH(1,d,0) for modeling long memory volatility.

Autores: Raper,   Kellie Curry; Thornsbury,   Suzanne; Aguilar,   Cristobal.
Counter-seasonal imports of fresh produce facilitate year-round availability in the U.S. and may impact the seasonal structure of market price relationships. Vector autoregression analysis is used to determine the nature and extent of spatial price relationships among four geographically distinct regions in the U.S. fresh peach wholesale market. We evaluate differences in regional spatial price relationships and find statistical evidence that price relationships among regions are different in periods dominated by regional domestic supplies imports compared with periods when counter-seasonal imports dominate the market.

This paper analyzes the constitutional determinants of cost reimbursement rules. In order to design the optimal incentive schemes, a possibly partisan planner will take into account the market cost structure, the institutional design of the supervision hierarchical structure and its technology. I employ electricity data from the U.S. electric power market to test the model’s predictions. The evidence shows that reforms from low powered incentive scheme (COS) to high powered one (PBR) are linked to high cost industries, the presence of elected supervisors, high inter-party platform distance and large (slim) majority when the reformer is Republican (Democratic). Moreover, there is some evidence in the data that performance-based regulation lowers regulated...

Based on 1990-2004 quarterly data, U.S. and E.U. demand for imported shrimp by alternative supply sources was examined within an Almost Ideal Demand System framework. For the United States, supply sources included Central America, South America, and Asia. Supply sources for the European Union included Asia, South America, and Rest of World. All own-price elasticities for the U.S. system were found to be elastic while all own-price elasticities associated with the E.U. system were found to be inelastic. With few notable exceptions, estimated cross-price elasticities suggest substitution among import sources. Finally, shrimp of Asian origin were found to be highly expenditure elastic in the US market while shrimp of South American origin were found to be the...

INFORMATION BASED MODEL AVERAGING AND INTERNAL METANALYSIS IN SEEMINGLY UNRELATED REGRESSIONS WITH AN APPLICATION TO A DEMAND SYSTEM
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bryant,   Henry L.; Davis,   George C.
This paper presents an information based model averaging and internal meta-analysis procedure that is easily applied to a large model space.  In the application, the procedure is used to investigate the efficacy of some recently contested commodity promotion programs.  The investigated model space consists of 576 demand systems.  The internal meta-analysis indicates that theoretical restrictions and evaluation points are more important than alternative functional forms and explanatory variables in determining the elasticity values.  The model averaging weights strongly support the theoretically consistent classical demand systems without promotion.  The weighted or meta-price and meta-expenditure elasticities are presented and discussed.

An Empirical Assessment of Endogeneity Issues In Demand Analysis for Differentiated Products
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dhar,   Tirtha Pratim; Chavas,   Jean-Paul; Gould,   Brian W.
This article explores the issue of price and expenditure endogeneity in empirical demand analysis. The analysis focuses on the US carbonated soft drink market. We test the null hypothesis that price and expenditures are exogenous in the demand for carbonated soft drinks. Using an Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) specification, we strongly reject exogeneity for both prices and expenditures. We find that accounting for price/expenditures endogeneity significantly impacts demand elasticity estimates. We also evaluate the implications of endogeneity issues for testing weak separability.

Pricing and Marketing Practices for North Dakota Durum and HRS Wheat: 1990 Crop Year
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Scherping,   Daniel J.; Wilson,   William W.
Cash grain markets have premiums and discounts for quality characteristics that are important to individual market participants. Premiums and discounts are determined by and change with the supply and demand for those quality characteristics. This seventh annual report contains the results of the 1990 survey of the pricing and marketing practices of North Dakota country elevators for durum and hard red spring (HRS) wheat. The results show that the HRS wheat protein levels fell from their 1988 and 1989 highs, and that the protein premium for HRS wheat increased over the past year. Discounts have generally become less since 1988 for both HRS and durum wheat.

Autores: Buergelt,   Doreen; von Oppen,   Matthias; Yadavendra,   Jagdish Prasad.
Crop breeding has contributed much towards assuring the supply of high quality food for a rapidly growing world population. Crop breeding has, however, been focused on only a relatively small number of species and many more have been neglected. In this paper we report on our contributions to a multidisciplinary research project that aims at improving ricebean (Vigna umbellata) – an orphan pulse crop in India and Nepal – and at introducing improved ricebean into local and regional markets.  The Ricebean has always been a traditional pulse in India and Nepal. Areas where the ricebean is grown today are characterized as remote regarding the access to markets and prevalence of subsistence households.  Consumer preferences where captured by collecting ricebean...

Considering the similarity of its ingredients, canned dog food could be a suitable and inexpensive substitute for pâté or processed blended meat products such as Spam or liverwurst. However, the social stigma associated with the human consumption of pet food makes an unbiased comparison challenging. To prevent bias, Newman's Own dog food was prepared with a food processor to have the texture and appearance of a liver mousse. In a double-blind test, subjects were presented with five unlabeled blended meat products, one of which was the prepared dog food. After ranking the samples on the basis of taste, subjects were challenged to identify which of the five was dog food. Although 72% of subjects ranked the dog food as the worst of the five samples in terms...

Dynamic Assessment of Bertrand Oligopsony in the U.S. Cattle Procurement Market
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ji,   In Bae; Chung,   Chanjin.
The new empirical industrial organization approach with the Bertrand model is employed to measure the oligopsony market power in the U.S. cattle procurement market. The assumption of price competition (Bertrand model) based on the nature of cattle production such as cattle cycle and seasonality is used and compared to quantity competition (Cournot model). The empirical results show that the oligopsony market power exists in the U.S. cattle procurement market. The cattle cycle and seasonality affect the oligopsony market power and the cattle cycle causes the change of market power. However, concentration has a negative effect on the oligopsony market power.

Food QUALITY VERIFICATION: WHO DO CONSUMERS TRUST?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hobbs,   Jill E.; Innes,   Brian G.; Uzea,   Adrian D.
Food markets are increasingly characterized by an array of quality assurances with respect to credence attributes, many of which relate to agricultural production methods. A variety of organizations are associated with these quality assurance claims, including private, third party and public sector organizations. How do quality verifications from different sources affect consumer food choices? Who do consumers trust for assurances about credence attributes? This paper draws upon two recent studies to explore Canadian consumer attitudes toward environmental quality claims in a bread product and animal welfare quality claims in a pork product, along with attitudes toward quality verification from different sources. Analysis from two discrete choice...

SUPPLY RESPONSE IN THE NORTHEASTERN FRESH TOMATO MARKET: COINTEGRATION AND ERROR CORRECTION ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Weliwita,   Ananda; Govindasamy,   Ramu.
This paper reexamines supply response in the Northeastern fresh tomato market during the 1949-94 period by employing cointegration and error correction technique.  It tests whether there has been a long-run equilibrium relationship between Northeastern production and a set of price and nonprice factors that influence it.  Findings suggest that wage rate, imports from competing regions, and urban pressure have had significant negative impacts on regional production.  The negative relationship between price and production may have resulted from the strong negative effects exerted by the nonprice factors.

THE PRICE OF LAUNCHING A NEW PRODUCT: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE ON FACTORS AFFECTING THE RELATIVE MAGNITUDE OF SLOTTING ALLOWANCES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mahi,   Humaira; Rao,   Akshay R.
Slotting allowances are a relatively recent trend, particular to the retail food industry.  These allowances are lump-sum up-front transfer payments from manufacturer to retailer when the manufacturer launches a new product.  The practice has attracted some scrutiny because of uncertainty about its purposes and consequences. We draw from the extant literature to identify factors that potentially influence the relative magnitude of slotting allowances.  Based on analysis of primary survey data from retailers and manufacturers, we observe that the charging and paying of slotting allowances is seemingly affected by the relative strength of the players. Among retailers, the relative magnitude of slotting fees increases with retailers' informational advantage...

A COMPARISON OF DEMANDS FOR MEAT PRODUCTS IN THE PACIFIC RIM REGION
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Tsai,   Reyfong; Kirby,   Raymond; Williams,   Gary W.
The Rotterdam model is used to obtain estimates of demand parameters for meat products in Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan.  Unlike most previous studies of demand systems, the model takes into account simultaneous-equation bias which arises due to the endogeneity of total expenditure.  Beef, pork, and chicken are separable from marine products for each Pacific Rim country.  However, demand elasticities for beef, pork, and chicken are different among the various Pacific Rim nations.  One may not then use the elasticity estimates of a particular country and apply them to other Pacific Rim markets.

U.S. and Canadian Livestock Prices: Market Integration and Trade Dependence
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Miljkovic,   Dragan.
Cointegration of Canadian and U.S. livestock prices points to the existence of market integration in the period 1996:1 to 2004:12 even though the trade flows of livestock and beef products were non-existent for many months in 2003 and 2004 (suggesting market segmentation) due to livestock/beef import bans by both countries due to BSE.  It was also determined that Canada's trade dependence in livestock and beef is cointegrated with Canadian and U.S. livestock prices.  However, as the trade dependence variable is shocked, the effects on Canadian and U.S. prices are  opposite although one would expect that in an integrated market the price responses to an exogenous shock would be similar or statistically identical.  This result reinforces the case against the...

Autores: Feuz,   Dillon M.
There is concern in the beef industry that present marketing practices may be impending the transmission of economic signals from consumers to producers. Presently, fed cattle may be sold on a show list, pen-by-pen, or on an individual head basis, and may be priced using live weight, dressed weight, or grid or formula pricing. Market signals are more likely to reach producers if cattle are priced individually. Current value-based pricing are discussed. Three grid pricing systems are evaluated over six marketing dates using data from 5,520 head of fed cattle. Each of the grids do send the anticipated pricing signals in that marbling and leanness are rewarded. However, the magnitudes of the price signals vary over time and across grids.

Economic feasibility of converting cow manure to electricity: A case study of the CVPS Cow Power program in Vermont
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Wang,   Qingbin; Thompson,   Ethan; Parsons,   Robert L.; Rogers,   Glenn.
A case study of the Central Vermont Public Service Corporation (CVPS) Cow Power program examines the economic feasibility for dairy farms to convert cow manure into electricity via anaerobic methane digestion. The study confirms that it is technically feasible to convert cow manure to electricity on dairy farms but the economic returns highly depend on the base electricity price paid by CVPS, premium rate paid by CVPS customers, financial supports from government agencies and other organizations, and sales of the by-products of methane generation. Lessons learned from this program will be useful to other dairy farms and communities interested in converting cow manure into electricity.

Estimation of a Censored Demand System in Stratified Sampling: An Analysis of Mexican Meat Demand at the Table Cut Level.
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lopez,   Jose Antonio; Malaga,   Jaime E.
Evidence of meat trade in the form of table cuts suggests that consumer preferences and tastes vary across meat cuts. Unlike previous studies, this paper estimates demand elasticities at the table cut level from a Mexican survey of household incomes and expenditures, which is a stratified sample. The study uses the two-step estimation of a censored demand system proposed by Shonkwiler and Yen (1999) but incorporates stratification variables into the estimation procedure. Parameter estimates are reported and its standard errors are approximated by using the bootstrap procedure.

This study estimates the price determinants of show quality Quarter Horses sold at auction.  Several characteristics including genetic and physical traits, the quality of pedigree, and the sale order affect price.  Sale price is positively affected by a strong performance record of the horse as well as the performance record of the horse's offspring.  A common practice at horse auctions is for the seller to reject the final bid offered and not sell the horse.  The market prices predicted by the model for these horses indicate that they are not undervalued by the final bids, based on their characteristics.

For successful product development it is important to explore the latent changes in consumer behavior prior to the product development process. The identification of a latent trend before the manifestation moment can be achieved by trend analysis. Trend analysis delivers insights that explore the future in order to identify prospective consumers and new product ideas, but also includes a feeling for the currents in market and technology. Hence, the aim is to identify emerging weak signals in consumer behavior that have potential as large revenue opportunities when implemented into new products. Therefore, the objective of our paper is to provide a novel tool for this identification and how the identified trends can be translated into new products. Until...

Commodity Price Pass-Through in Differentiated Retail Food Markets
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Richards,   Timothy J.; Allender,   William J.; Pofahl,   Geoffrey M.
Prices for nearly all basic commodity rose at unprecedented rates throughout early 2008, only to fall nearly as fast as financial markets and global economies began to collapse.  Rising food prices in 2008 led to concerns that commodity price spikes would lead to more general food inflation, but by early 2009 interest focused more on the seeming inability of food prices to fall back down with commodity prices.  This study provides an empirical investigation into the pass-through of commodity prices to retail prices for two different types of food products: potatoes and fluid milk.  The results show that pass-through depends on the nature of the food in question, but is generally consistent with theoretical models of pricing by sellers of multiple,...

Estimating Asymmetric Advertising Response: An Application to U.S. Nonalcoholic Beverage Demand
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Zheng,   Yuqing; Kaiser,   Harry M.
We propose a regime-switching model that allows demand to respond asymmetrically to upward and downward advertising changes. With the introduction of a smooth transition function, the model features smooth rather than abrupt parameter changes between regimes. We apply the model to nonalcoholic beverage data in the United States for 1974 through 2005 to investigate asymmetric advertising response. Results indicate that a decrease in milk advertising had a more profound impact on milk demand than an increase did. An increase in milk advertising had no impact on milk demand, but a decrease could have an own-advertising elasticity up to 0.049.

Dynamic Optimization of Nitrogen Use in Agriculture
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Burnett,   J. Wesley; Ferrer,   Myra Clarisse R.
Agricultural production is highly dependent on inorganic substances including fertilizers. High-yielding crop varieties, such as corn, require large amounts of primary nutrients including nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Farmers often add a surplus of nutrients to crops to maximize yields. Utilization of primary nutrients has increased by more than 300% while that of nitrogen alone has increased by more than 600% between 1960 and 2007 (USDA, 2009). From 1964 to 2007, the use of nitrogen in the corn sector alone increased from 1,623,000 to 5,714,000 nutrient tons (USDA, 2009).             While increasing production, increased fertilizer use can potentially create negative externalities in the form of nitrate-nitrogen contamination in groundwater....

With this paper, we provide the first quantitative investigation of vertical price transmission in the biodiesel supply chain in Germany with the focus on the developments during the food crisis and the impact of subsidized US biodiesel exports. With the strong promotion of the production and use of biodiesel during the first half of the past decade, the German biodiesel market became the largest national biodiesel market worldwide. This analysis utilizes prices of rapeseed oil, soya oil, biodiesel and crude oil over a sample period covering the rapid growth of the German demand in 2002 until its decline in 2009. The effects of both the market development and different policies on price transmission are analyzed in detail. Due to the numerous changes in...

Evaluating Traditional Share-Price and Residual Demand Measures of Market Power in the Catsup Industry
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Haller,   Lawrence E.; Cotterill,   Ronald W.
In this paper we specify a price determination model which can test both the traditional positive interbrand price – share hypothesis and the negative intrabrand relationship predicted by residual demand analysis.  We evaluate this relationship empirically using three-dimensional panel data from the catsup industry.  We find support for both hypothesized relationships, and conclude that market power exists in this industry.  Further, we conclude that the results depend critically on the characteristics of the data set to be analyzed.

Testing Separability between Import and Domestic Commodities: Application to U.S. Meat Demand in a Dynamic Model
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Boonsaeng,   Tullaya; Wohlgenant,   Michael K.
The results indicate that a dynamic specification of the AIDS model is superior to the static AIDS model. The separability test for both the static and dynamic AIDS models conclude that imported meat consumption is non-separable from the U.S. consumption so domestic meat should be included in the analysis of U.S. import meat demand.

MARKET SEGMENTATION AND WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR ORGANIC PRODUCTS IN SPAIN
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gil,   Jose Maria; Gracia,   Azucena; Sanchez Garcia,   Mercedes.
In recent years, consumer concerns on environmental and health issues related to food products have increased and, as a result, the demand for organically grown production has grown.  Higher costs of production and retailer margins generate a gap between real prices and those that consumers are willing to pay for organic food.  In this article, consumer willingness to pay for organic food in two Spanish regions is analyzed.  Markets in both regions are segmented considering consumers lifestyles.  Results indicate that consumers concerned about healthy diet and environmental degradation are the most likely to buy organic food, and are willing to pay a high premium.  Organic attributes are easily identified in perishable products as the premium consumers...

INCORPORATING QUADRATIC SCALE CURVES IN INVERSE DEMAND SYSTEMS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Beach,   Robert H.; Holt,   Matthew T.
In this paper we introduce inverse demand systems that include quadratic scale terms.  These systems are similar to regular quadratic demand systems introduced by Howe, Pollack, and Wales.  A unique feature of these specifications is that they maintain linear scale curves as a special case.  For illustrative purposes we estimate the Normalized Quadratic Inverse Demand-Quadratic Scale System using monthly South Atlantic fish landings and valuation data, 1980-1996.  In estimation concavity is maintained locally, and the rank reduction procedures advocated by Diewert and Wales (1988b) are employed.  The estimated model is then used to obtain welfare estimates associated with catch restrictions.

Precio de la tierra con presión urbana: un modelo para España
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Decimavilla,   Esther; San Juan,   Carlos; Sperlich,   Stefan.
RESUMEN: Estudiamos el precio de la tierra para uso agrario y las variables que determinan su evolución en España, tratando de identificar qué parte de la subida de precios observada se justifica por elementos «internos», relacionados con la renta agraria esperada, y cuál proviene de elementos externos o especulativos, vinculados a cambios en el uso del suelo. Además se relaciona el ciclo de precios con la aceleración de la especialización en el ámbito regional y la integración en la PAC. La novedad de este trabajo consiste en identificar, mediante técnicas de datos de panel, factores no fundamentales (presión urbanizadora, creación de regadíos, cambio demográfico) que, además de los fundamentales (ingresos esperados y localización geográfica) determinan...

The Culture of Private Negotiation: Price Drift in Bilateral Bargaining
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Phillips,   Owen R.; Menkhaus,   Dale J.
The culture of private negotiation leads parties to agreements below a price that anchors beginning bids and offers.  Possible anchors are a list price or suggested retail price.  The anchor may be endogenous, e.g., the average reported trade price from previous trading activity.  An endogenous anchor may cause a downward or upward drift in negotiated prices.  Using bilateral bargaining data from laboratory experimental markets, this paper demonstrates how price information reports create drifts in negotiated prices.  A downward drift is robust and causes sharp declines in total market surplus.  Also, relative earnings are distributed toward buyers and away from sellers.

An Optimal Rule for Switching over to Renewable fuels with Lower Price Volatility: A Case of Jump Diffusion Process
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Sardana,   Kavita; Bhattacharya,   Subhra K.
This study investigates the optimal switching boundary to a renewable fuel when oil prices exhibit continuous random fluctuations along with occasional discontinuous jumps. In this paper, oil prices are modeled to follow jump diffusion processes. A completeness result is derived. Given that the market is complete the value of a contingent claim is risk neutral expectation of the discounted pay off process. Using the contingent claim analysis of investment under uncertainty, the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation is derived for finding value function and optimal switching boundary. We get a mixed differential-difference equation which would be solved using numerical methods.

WHEN DOES THE PRICE AFFECT THE TASTE? RESULTS FROM A WINE EXPERIMENT
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Almenberg,   Johan; Dreber,   Anna.
We designed an experiment that examines how knowledge about the price of a good, and the time at which the information is received, affects how the good is experienced. The good in question was wine, and the price was either high or low. Our results suggest that hosts offering wine to guests can safely reveal the price: much is gained if the wine is expensive, and little is lost if it is cheap. Disclosing the high price before tasting the wine produces considerably higher ratings, although only from women. Disclosing the low price, by contrast, does not result in lower ratings. Our finding indicates that price not only serves to clear markets, it also serves as a marketing tool; it influences expectations that in turn shape a consumer’s experience. In...

Until now, organic farming in Austria saw its largest growth in the period between 1994 and 1998. The following factors all contributed to Austria achieving the highest percentage of organic farms in Europe: the early addition of guidelines for organic crop production and animal husbandry to the Austrian Codex Alimentarius, the government support for organic farms during and after conversion through compensatory payments, favourable market conditions through the entrance of supermarket chains, the establishment of a marketing company, an active policy by the organic associations and the development of advisory services. However, this dynamic development has not persisted in the late nineties. Whether the crises in conventional production will provide...

Has Country of Origin Labeling Influenced Salmon Consumption?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Wozniak,   Shawn J.
Country-of-Origin Labeling (COOL) legislation for fish and shellfish was passed as part of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002. Farm-raised and wild-caught seafood items caught after December 4, 2004, began COOL in April 4, 2005. COOL requires retailers to display the country of origin on seafood. Using a nonlinear AIDS model the demand for 3 salmon products was estimate--precooked, uncooked fresh, and uncooked frozen. COOL had no significant impact on consumer demand for the three products. The 3 salmon products were all found to be inelastic, but uncooked fresh was found to be more price sensitive than precooked and uncooked frozen salmon.

EFFECT OF RISK AVERSION ON FEEDER CATTLE PRICES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lee,   Jung-Hee; Brorsen,   B. Wade.
This paper determines the effects of cattle feeders' risk aversion on feeder cattle prices using pen data of Kansas feedlots.  Higher profit risk results in lower feeder cattle prices.  The elasticity of feeder cattle price with respect to profit risk was small (-0.013).  The risk elasticity estimated here is similar to risk elasticities in previous studies and thus, the use of pen-level data does not seem to add much to the study of risk.

PERSISTENCE OF PRICE-COST MARGINS IN THE U.S. FOOD AND TOBACCO MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES: A DYNAMIC SINGLE INDEX MODEL APPROACH
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cranfield,   John A.L.
Persistence of price-cost margins in the U.S. food and tobacco manufacturing industries is measured while accounting for price-cost margin risk.  Direct measurement of persistence and of long- and short-run price-cost margin risk is accomplished by incorporating a partial-adjustment framework into the Single Index Model.  Results indicate persistence of price-cost margins.  Short-run margin risk is accounted for primarily by diversifiable risk.  Long-run margin risk, which depends on systematic risk alone, is generally lower than the short-run measure.  Factors influencing persistence and the systematic relationship between industry margins and a market index are explored.

OBESITY AND HYPERBOLIC DISCOUNTING: AN EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Richards,   Timothy J.; Hamilton,   Stephen F.; Pofahl,   Geoffrey M.
Behavioral economists maintain that addictions such as alcoholism, smoking and over-eating represent examples of present-bias in decision making that is fundamentally irrational. In this article, we develop a model of present bias and apparently hyperbolic discounting that is fully consistent with rational behavior. We construct an experiment to test our hypothesis and to determine whether discount rates differ for individuals who engage in behaviors that could endanger their health. Our results show that discount functions are quasi-hyperbolic in shape, and that obesity and drinking are positively related to the discount rate. Anti-obesity policy, therefore, would be best directed to informing individuals as to the long-term implications of short-term...

IMPROVING THE RELEVANCE OF RESEARCH ON PRICE FORECASTING AND MARKETING STRATEGIES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Brorsen,   B. Wade; Irwin,   Scott H.
Agricultural economists' research on price forecasting and marketing strategies has been used little by those in the real world.  We argue that fresh approaches to research are needed.  First, we argue that we need to adopt a new theoretical paradigm, noisy rational expectations.  This paradigm suggests that gains from using price forecasting models with public data or from using a marketing strategy are not impossible, but any gains are likely to be small.  We need to conduct falsification tests; to perform confirmation and replication; to adjust research to reflect structural changes, such as increased contracting; and always to conduct statistical tests.  We also provide a modest agenda for changing our research and extension programs.

Pricing and Vertical Organization of Differentiated Products
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Shi,   Guanming; Chavas,   Jean-Paul.
This paper investigates differentiated product pricing and vertical organization under imperfect competition. We develop a conceptual model of multiproduct pricing to examine how the exercise of market power varies with substitution/complementarity relationships among products and vertical structures. The analysis is applied to US soybean seed pricing during the period between 2000 and 2007. It considers two vertical structures: Vertical integration and licensing. We find evidence that vertical organization has significant effects on prices. These effects vary depending on the institutional setup and the bundling of genetic material. The empirical evidence shows that, in a multi-market context, complementarity and economies of scope can mitigate the price...

STRATEGIC CHOICES IN PRODUCE MARKETING: ISSUES OF COMPATIBLE USE AND EXCLUSION COSTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Codron,   Jean-Marie; Sterns,   James A.; Reardon,   Thomas.
Fresh produce suppliers in Europe and the United States use a mix of price and non-price marketing strategies.  This paper shows that these strategies create, using Mancur Olson's terms, two collective goods: overall consumer confidence in the market's ability to deliver credence attributes, and overall consumer satisfaction with the experience attributes of fresh produce.  The characteristics of these two collective goods, i.e., their compatible use and high costs of exclusion, influence the costs, effectiveness, and nature of the marketing strategies of firms.  This paper presents examples from the fresh produce industries of Europe and the U.S. to show how compatible-use and high-exclusion costs influence firm strategies.  It concludes that there are...

Television Advertising and Soda Demand
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lopez,   Rigoberto A.; Liu,   Yizao; Zhu,   Chen.
This study examines the effects of television advertising on consumer demand for carbonated soft drinks using a random coefficients logit model (BLP) with household and advertising data from seven U.S. cities over a three year period. We find that advertising decreases the price elasticity of demand, indicating that advertising plays predominantly a persuasive, therefore anti-competitive role in this market. Further results show that brand spillover effects are significant and that measuring advertising with gross rating points (GRPs) outperforms measuring it with expenditures, as is conventionally done. Finally, simulation results indicate that eliminating all television advertising would lower market shares of sodas as consumers migrate to other...

Autores: Ito,   Shoichi; Rosegrant,   Mark W.; Agcaoili-Sombilla,   Mercedita C.
In this research, the quality of foreign japonica rices was evaluated in terms of prices relative  to  Japanese  domestic  retail  prices.    Then,  retail  prices,  consumer  benefit,  and  competitiveness among the foreign rices in the Japanese market were estimated assuming  those  rices  were  imported  at  prices  based  on  their  production  and  transportation  costs.   According to the results, rices produced in China are quite superior to rices grown in the  United States.  Further, a 700 percent of tariff, which was discussed in the GATT negotiation  and assumed to be imposed on rices imported to Japan, appears to be too low for Chinese  rices and too high for American rices.

We hypothesize that imperfect quality measurement in contracts for fresh fruits and vegetables results in a moral-hazard problem, and that the final price of the produce provides additional information regarding quality.  As a consequence, growers are not shielded from all price risk.  This hypothesis is tested informally with observations on actual contracts in California.

Autores: Davis,   Christopher G.; Stefanova,   Stela; Hahn,   William F.; Yen,   Steven T.
In this study we estimated the price elasticities among meats, vegetables, grains, and potatoes and the impact that different levels of income have on the demand for these commodities.  The 2005 Nielsen retail home scan data were used to construct a censored demand system of 14 equations.   Results revealed that the uncompensated cross-price elasticities for both low and high-incomes suggest both substitution and complement relationships, while the compensated price elasticities are dominated primarily by substitution relationships.  Our findings also revealed that expenditure elasticities among both low and high-income households differ for most commodities.

In the United States, nearly 17 percent of greenhouse gas emissions come from residential energy use. Increases in energy efficiency for the residential sector can generate significant energy savings and emissions reductions. Consumer labels, such as USEPA’s Energy Star, promote conservation by providing consumers with information on energy usage for household appliances. This study examines how the Energy Star label affects consumer preferences for refrigerators. An online survey of a national sample of adults suggest that consumers are, on average, willing to pay an extra $249.82 to $349.30 for a refrigerator that has been awarded the Energy Star label. Furthermore, the results provide evidence that willingness to pay was motivated by both private...

Autores: Parcell,   Joseph L.; Schroeder,   Ted C.
Consumer-level hedonic models are estimated to determine factors affecting retail pork and beef meat cuts. Results indicate that brand premium and discount varies across private, national, and store brands and that brand premium varies across meat cuts carrying the same brand name. Product size discounts are linear for beef and nonlinear for pork, meat items on sale are significantly discounted to non-sale items, specialty stores typically will not garner higher prices than supermarket/grocery stores, and warehouse stores typically have premium prices relative to supermarket/grocery stores.

Impediments to Competitiveness of Small and Medium-Scale Maize Milling Enterprises in South Africa
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Orefi,   Abu.
The maize milling industry is highly characterised by continuous growth in maize milling and retailing margins in real terms (Traub and Jayne, 2004) despite the benefits and opportunities brought about by the deregulation of the South African maize market in 1997. This may be indicative of the inability of small and medium-scale maize milling enterprises (SMSMMEs) to emerge and compete with large-scale maize millers. This paper examines the constraints faced by SMSMMEs in South Africa. Data were collected with the aid of a structured questionnaire. Millers were asked to identify the various challenges facing their enterprises. Some key constraints identified were; high transport costs, high maize prices, brand name establishment and government policies...

This study analyzes the demand for cigarettes fitting observed zero outcomes with a trivariate model consisting of an equation for the starting smoking decision, an equation for the quitting decision, and an equation that models the level of cigarettes consumed. Five competing specifications are considered to explain level, with the ordered probit, which accommodates pile-ups of counts in the dependent variable, providing the best fit. Marginal effects of explanatory variables are calculated providing strong evidence of race and gender differences in consumption patterns. The estimated marginal effects are robust to alternative categorizations of the level of cigarettes.

How Reliable Is It to Obtain Price Flexibilities from Inverting Price Elasticities?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Huang,   Kuo S.
Food price elasticities and flexibilities are widely used in agricultural policy and program analyses.  Most agricultural economists take the reciprocal of a directly estimated elasticity, or more rigorously the inversion of an elasticity matrix at the retail level, as flexibility measures.  Conceptual discussion and empirical evidence are provided to assess the reliability of this common practice of obtaining flexibility measures by inverting a matrix of directly estimated elasticities.

PRICE DISCOVERY IN THE EGG INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Maynard,   Leigh J.
Formula pricing of eggs is typically based on quotations issued by Urner Barry Publications, and egg producers worry that the quotes are systematically lower than equilibrium levels.  Egg Clearinghouse, Inc. (ECI) provides a public forum for cash trading, intended to facilitate price discovery.  Evidence from 1994-95 does not suggest that Urner Barry understands producer level prices on average, Granger causality tests indicate a feedback relationship between the Urner Barry quotes and ECI prices, with ECI leading during price upswings.  Lead times appear to have fallen since the late 1970s and early 1980s, confirming earlier predictions regarding market efficiency.

WHAT IS IT CONSUMERS REALLY WANT AND WHY? THE CASE OF FAT IN MILK
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Andersen,   Laura M.; Smed,   Sinne.
In this paper we investigate preferences for fat in milk through a structural characteristics model. The data includes information about daily purchases and social and demographic characteristics of approximately 2500 households. We find that consumers who prefer milk with a very high fat content can be reached both by information and prices, while consumers who prefer milk with a moderate to high fat share are not influenced by information, but are price sensitive. This is of great importance since these households drink a lot of milk and thereby get a considerable amount of fat through milk

Optimal alcohol taxes for Australia
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fogarty,   James Joseph.
Objective: To estimate welfare maximising tax rates for beer, wine, and spirits using a mathematical model that considers both the welfare loss alcohol taxes impose on non-abusive consumers and the welfare gains due to alcohol taxes reducing externality costs. Results: Optimal per litre of pure alcohol (LAL) tax rates are substantially different to both current alcohol tax rates and the uniform tax rate recommended as part of the 2010 Australian Government Tax Review. Given an individual consumer utility decision model, the best estimate values of the welfare maximising LAL tax rates are: $37 for beer, $11 for wine, $50 for spirits, and $77 for ready-to-drink spirits. Conclusion: As externality costs and the responsiveness of consumers to price changes are...

REGIONAL DEMAND FOR NATURAL BEEF PRODUCTS: URBAN VS. RURAL WILLINGNESS TO PAY AND TARGET CUSTOMERS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Sparling,   Edward; Grannis,   Jennifer L.; Thilmany,   Dawn D.
Interest and sales for natural meats continue to grow, with increased offerings in supermarkets and other mainstream marketing channels.  Still, little is known about interest in various production attributes and methods to target likely customers.  This study focuses on the market for natural meat, including freezer beef offerings, in Colorado with special attention to whether rural and urban consumers differ in their interests and propensities to purchase.

Nonlinearities in the World Vegetable Oil Price System: El Nino Effects
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ubilava,   David; Holt,   Matthew T.
In this research we estimate the effect of El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) over time on market dynamics for eight major vegetable oil prices. We estimate a system for vegetable oil prices by using a smooth transition vector error correction model (STVECM) to analyze impacts of ENSO events on production, and, more interestingly, their asymmetric nature. The results of estimated Exponential STVECM and Quadratic STAR models, respectively for the system of oil price equations and the ENSO variable regressions, suggest a smooth transition between ENSO regimes, and provide a better overall fit to the data than do linear models. Effects of the ENSO shock are analyzed using generalized impulse-response functions (GIRFs). The non-linear nature of these shocks...

Promoting Demand for Organic Food Under Preference and Income Heterogeneity
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Eerola,   Essi; Huhtala,   Anni.
We examine the design of policies for promoting the consumption of green products under preference and income heterogeneity using organic products as an example. Two instruments are considered: a price subsidy for the organic products and a tax on the conventional products. Under income disparity, consumers with high income always prefer a socially optimal subsidy to a socially optimal tax, while low-income consumers prefer a tax on conventional products. When environmental policy is determined by the median voter, the policies implemented tend to be stricter than socially optimal policies if income differences are large.

Elasticities of Demand for Consumer Credit
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Karlan,   Dean S.; Zinman,   Jonathan.
The price elasticity of demand for credit has major implications for macroeconomics, finance, and development. We present estimates of this parameter derived from a randomized trial. The experiment was implemented by a consumer microfinance lender in South Africa and identifies demand curves that, while downward-sloping with respect to price, are flatter than recent estimates in both developing and developed countries throughout most of a wide price range. However, demand becomes highly price sensitive at higher-than-normal rates. We discuss several interpretations of this kink and present some related evidence. We also find that loan size is far more responsive to changes in loan maturity than to changes in interest rate. This pattern is more pronounced...

Modelling physical quantities of food and nutrients consumed from aggregate data – with an application to Finland
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Irz,   Xavier T.
Anticipating the impact of changes in economic incentives on dietary quality and nutritional health requires knowledge of how physical quantities of food consumed respond to price and income variations. A problem arises, however, because physical quantities are: 1- not consistent aggregates in demand models; and 2- not measured at final/retail level in national statistics. The paper develops a solution by establishing explicitly the theoretical link between composite demand and physical quantities, from which a novel empirical approach to the estimation of nutrient elasticities is derived. It is applied to Finnish aggregate data from the National Accounts and Food Balance Sheets over the 1975-2006 period, and the results are used to assess the potential...

ON THE HIDDEN REVENUE EFFECTS OF WOOL PRICE STABILISATION IN AUSTRALIA: INITIAL RESULTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Campbell,   Rachel; Gardiner,   B.; Haszler,   Henry.
A preliminary analysis of demand in eight major OECD wool-consuming countries is used to provide up-to-date estimates of price elasticities of demand for wool. Those elasticities are employed to calculate ex ante market prices, assuming no wool price stabilisation in Australia. The computed ex ante prices are used in a dynamic simulation to estimate demand and, hence, revenue from wool sales to the eight countries in the absence of reserve price operations in Australia. Based on the preferred semi-log demand curve, the variability of wool prices is estimated to have been reduced by 44 per cent, due to Australian intervention in the market up to 1977/78. However, price stabilisation is estimated to have lowered the revenue from Australian wool sales to the...

Does Price Asymmetry Exist In Commodity and Energy Markets?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Wixson,   Sarah E.; Katchova,   Ani L.
Recent increases in the price of crude oil have led to a rise in the prominence of corn-based ethanol as an alternative source of energy. As a result linkages have been established between commodity and energy prices. The aim of this study is to determine if soybeans, corn, wheat, oil, and ethanol adjust their prices asymmetrically depending on whether their actual price is over- or under-predicted with respect to one another. This study’s goal of determining if asymmetric price relationships exist is accomplished by using monthly time series price data incorporated into a distributed lag error correction model distinguishing between positive and negative price difference and positive and negative values of the error correction term.  The primary results...

Some Further Discussion on the Price Index for  The Almost Ideal Demand System: A Chain Price Index Approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Brown,   Mark G.; Lee,   Jonq-Ying.
The issue of identification of the parameter α0 in the price index of the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) is examined.  In nearly all empirical studies, the model’s likelihood function has been extremely flat in α0, and this parameter has not been able to be estimated.  Assumed values are often used.  In this paper, an AIDS-like model is developed with an easy- to-calculate chain-price index that replaces the price index in the original AIDS.  The model stands by itself with respect to consumer demand theory and flexibility. An empirical analysis of beverage demands gives merit to the specification.

The proliferation of regional integration agreements (RIAs) over the past several years has led to significant changes in the global configuration of trade and investment activity. Multinational enterprises now face the prospect of multilateral trade liberalisation that could significantly affect the foreign direct investment (FDI) incentive structures that were established within the range of current RIAs. RIAs that provide preferential market access to member countries modify firms’ incentives to undertake FDI activities and can lead to various permutations of trade and investment creation and diversion. This article provides an analytical framework for understanding the implications of multilateral trade liberalisation for the incentive structures of...

Effects of Generic Advertisement on Demand: The Case of the Washington State Apple Commission
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Wilmot,   Erin; Chouinard,   Hayley H.; Yoder,   Jonathan K.; Schotzko,   R. Thomas.
The Washington Apple Commission (WAC) generically promoted apples for the Washington state industry from 1937 until 2003. This paper provides an analysis of the effects on demand attributable to these activities. Demand movement associated with promotion tends to be positive, though the results are mixed. Overall, WAC promotion increased growers’ total revenue by approximately $53.4 million for 2002. The estimated average return to advertising topped $8.7 per dollar of advertising. Continuing selected promotional activities could increase revenue for growers if these activities could be carried out by voluntary, coordinated efforts.

Autores: Eales,   James S.; Roheim,   Cathy A.
The separability of meat products from fish products is investigated to gain a better understanding of Japanese consumer choices in protein demand. Rather than view fish as a single homogeneous commodity, fish and seafood are categorized into several groups of products. Separability is investigated using a demand system approach in which a generalized system of demand equations is specified and used, first to identify if any of the alternative demand structures nested within the general system are appropriate for these data, and then, conditional on those results, to test separability of meats from fish products following Moschini, Moro, and Green. Results indicate that meats and fish were separable prior to 1990; however, when examined over the entire...

Supply and Demand Interactions in the New South Wales Prime Lamb Market
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Vere,   David T.; Griffith,   Garry R.
Prime lamb has not received the same level of economic research as Australia's other major livestock markets and knowledge of the lamb market's operations remains relatively limited. This market has experienced increasing problems including highly variable saleyard prices, strong retail competition and calls for market reform. To date, there has been no quantitative mechanism for assessing the potential impacts of these issues on the state or national lamb markets. This paper reports the development of a quarterly econometric model of the New South Wales prime lamb market. The model considers prime lamb as a separate market entity and places emphasis on the demographic influences on supply response. The estimated model is validated under historical dynamic...

Recent research in low-income countries has shown that high transfer costs and marketing margins may hinder the transmission of price signals, as they may prohibit arbitrage. Oligopolistic behavior and collusion among domestic traders may retain price differences between markets at levels higher than those determined by transfer costs and hinder the full price transmission and market integration (Rapsomanikis et al., 2003). This paper investigates price movements among important sheep markets in the Sudan to explore their performance and pricing efficiency. Six geographically separated livestock wholesale markets are tested spatially, using Johansen’s cointegration test (1988) and time-series price data for the period 1990–2004.

Cointegration methods are increasingly used to test for market efficiency and integration. The economic rationale for these tests, however, is generally unclear. Using a simple spatial equilibrium model to simulate equilibrium price behavior, it is shown that prices in a well-integrated, efficient market need not be cointegrated. Furthermore, the number of cointegrating relationships among prices is not a good indicator of the degree to which a market is integrated.

The primary objective of this study was to assess the impact of catfish imports and tariffs on the U.S. catfish industry, with particular focus on the U.S. International Trade Commission ruling on Vietnam in 2003. Given the importance of Vietnam to the U.S. catfish market, it was assumed that catfish import prices would increase by 35 percent if the maximum tariff was imposed on catfish from Vietnam. With the tariff, domestic catfish prices at the wholesale level would increase by $0.06 per lb, and farm prices by $0.03 per lb. Processor sales would increase by 1.66 percent. Total welfare at the wholesale level would increase from $69.2 million to $71.7 million, an increase of about 3.63 percent, and processor and farm revenue would increase by 4.4 percent...

Autores: Taplin,   J.H.E.
One country's exports of a particular commodity are usually imperfect substitutes for similar exports from other countries. Consequently, the price elasticity of export demand involves unknown cross elasticities between sub-groups of the commodity. However, there are constraints on the relative magnitudes of all the sub-group elasticities. These make it possible to assess the degree to which the whole commodity elasticity divided by the market share is an over-estimate of the export elasticity.

Breaking Trends and the Prebisch-Singer Hypothesis: A Further Investigation
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ghoshray,   Atanu; Kejriwal,   Mohitosh; Wohar,   Mark E.
This paper examines the Prebisch-Singer Hypothesis employing new time se- ries procedures that are robust to the nature of persistence in the commodity price shocks, thereby obviating the need for unit root pretesting. Speci…cally, the proce- dures allow consistent estimation of the number of structural breaks in the trend function as well as facilitate the distinction between trend breaks and pure level shifts. In comparison with past studies, we …nd fewer cases of commodities that display negative trends thereby weakening the case for the Prebisch-Singer Hypoth- esis. Finally, a new set of powerful unit root tests allowing for structural breaks under both the null and alternative hypotheses is applied to determine whether the underlying commodity price...

Imports versus Domestic Production: A Demand System Analysis of the U.S. Red Wine Market
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Seale,   James L., Jr.; Merchant,   Mary.
This research estimates price and expenditure elasticities of U.S. red wine imports from five countries--Italy, France, Spain, Australia, and Chile--which are compared to elasticities of domestically produced red wine using the first-difference version of the almost ideal demand system (AIDS). Expenditure elasticity results indicate that if U.S. total expenditures on red wine increase, domestic producers would gain most. Empirical results for conditional own-price elasticities of demand indicate that U.S. and Chilean red wines are elastic while U.S. demand for red wines from other countries are highly inelastic. Due to the magnitude of consumption of U.S. domestic red wines relative to imports, an increase in the price of U.S. wine results in a decline in...

Spatial Price Transmission in Kazakh Wheat Markets
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Yakhshilikov,   Yorbol; Brosig,   Stephan.
Reliable marketing opportunities in both interregional and international trade are an important precondition for further development of the agricultural sector. In this study we assess interregional integration of Kazakh wheat markets. We apply asymmetric threshold error correction models to assess the co-movement of elevator prices at three grain-trading spots in the northern and central parts of the country. Results suggest that markets of two northern grain-trading spots (Petropavlovsk and Kokshetau) are closely connected with each other while their connection with Karaganda in central Kazakhstan is much weaker. Here, levelling out price gaps through arbitrage trade only occurs after a threshold of considerable extent has been surpassed.

Gasoline Price Differences: Taxes, Pollution Regulations, Mergers, Market Power, and Market Conditions
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chouinard,   Hayley H.; Perloff,   Jeffrey M.
Retail and wholesale gasoline prices vary over time and across geographic locations due to differences in government policies and other factors that affect demand, costs, and market power. We use a two-equation, reduced-form model to determine the relative importance of these various factors. An increase in the price of crude oil has been virtually the only major factor contributing to a general rise in prices over the last couple of decades. Tax variations and mergers contribute substantially more to geographic price differentials than do price discrimination, cost factors, or pollution controls.

Autores: Xayavong,   Vilaphonh; Burton,   Michael P.; White,   Benedict.
This study uses panel data at suburb level to estimates the elasticity water demands in Perth, Australia from 1995 to 2005. After deriving the consumer’s water demand under a non-linear budget constraint, we estimate the water demand model, which accounts for how water (and other purchased goods) is used to satisfy fundamental desires of the household. We have applied the specification of price that provided the correctly estimated marginal price from the block tariff structure, and employed a maximum likelihood estimation technique to tackle the endogeneity and heteroskedasticity issues. Our estimation of water demand price elasticities are slightly higher (more elastic) than previous study in Perth, but broadly in line with other estimates in the...

CHANGES IN THE STRUCTURE OF GLOBAL FOOD DEMAND
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cranfield,   John A.L.; Hertel,   Thomas W.; Eales,   James S.; Preckel,   Paul V.
A newly developed demand system is used to estimate the response of food and food product demand to per capita expenditure changes.  The resulting Engel elasticities are then used to project food and food product demand in 2020 assuming per capita expenditure and population changes.  Results suggest that while food expenditure is projected to grow, it accounts for a smaller proportion of total expenditure.  Further analysis indicates change in the composition of food demand away from a grain and towards livestock is projected to occur in lower income countries in 2020.

A Cointegration Analysis of Wool Prices
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chang,   Hui-Shung (Christie).
Based on cointegration analysis and monthly data from 1976.8 to 1999.10, a long-run equilibrium relationship was found to exist between prices for wools of 19 to 23 microns, despite the wool Reserve Price Scheme operated until February 1991. Furthermore, the prices for 19, 20 and 21 micron wools were found to be weakly exogenous. The latter result suggested that, although co-integrated, prices for finer wools tended to be less volatile than coarser wools. The implications are that wool producers would enjoy more stable prices by producing finer wools and that cross-hedging is possible given co-movements of prices.

Price Equivalent Impacts of the DDA in the Korean Raw-milk Market
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jeon,   Sang-Gon.
This study estimates the potential impacts of the Doha Development Agenda (DDA) on the Korean raw-milk market. The DDA has not reached an agreement yet. Although there are different attitudes about several issues such as Special Safeguard Mechanism (SSM), Sensitive Products (SP), and Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) creation, WTO member countries have reached an agreement for major issues of the modalities in the DDA. Hence, this study estimates the impacts of the DDA that will finally reach an agreement sooner or later. For estimating the impacts of the DDA, this study makes a dairy trade model for the Korean dairy industry and measures the impacts of the DDA in terms of raw-milk price for fluid use incurred by further tariff cuts in the Korean dairy market by the...

Romanian Maize - Distorted Prices and Producer Efficiency
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Sauer,   Johannes; Balint,   Borbala.
This study tackles the decomposition of efficiency with respect to agricultural production in transition economies by using a case study on small scale maize farmers in Romania.  The underlying modelling assumption is that farmers in transition countries still face heavily distorted price systems.  To capture such distortions a stochastic shadow cost frontier model is formulated to investigate the systematic input specific allocative inefficiency.  We further adjust the underlying cost frontier by incorporating shadow price corrections and subsequently reveal evidence on farm specific technical inefficiency.  Different models are estimated due to the imposition of curvature correctness.  The empirical results confirm the underlying hypothesis of enduring...

Poland's market reforms implemented in 1990 should possibly result in increasing price linkages between Polish and internationally traded agricultural commodities like wheat. Using regression and cointegration analysis Polish monthly wheat prices were found to be generally unrelated to selected world prices over the period of 1990/91 through 1996/97 mainly because of Polish government's intervention.

Reformulating Competition? Gasoline Content Regulation and Wholesale Gasoline Prices
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Brown,   Jennifer; Mansur,   Erin T.; Hastings,   Justine; Villas-Boas,   Sofia Berto.
The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments stipulated gasoline content requirements for metropolitan areas with air pollution levels above predetermined federal thresholds. The legislation led to exogenous changes in the type of gasoline required for sale across U.S. metropolitan areas. This paper uses a panel of detailed wholesale gasoline price data to estimate the effect of gasoline content regulation on wholesale prices and price volatility. In addition, we investigate the extent to which the estimated price effects are driven by changes in the number of suppliers versus geographic segmentation resulting from regulation. We find that prices in regulated metropolitan areas increase significantly, relative to a control group, by an average of 3.6 cents per...

PERFECT CROSS-HEDGING OPPORTUNITIES VIA FORMULA PRICING: THE CASE OF THE BROILER INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Carter,   Joy; Maynard,   Leigh J.; Dillon,   Carl R.
One supplier of broilers without giblets (WOGs) offers customers a choice between paying Urner Barry's WOG quote or a formula price based on futures prices.  From a buyer's perspective, the formula price is second-degree stochastic dominant, thus acting a marketing inducement.  The formula price allows the seller to set almost perfect cross-hedges of WOGs with corn and soymeal.  Stochastic dominance results suggested that the seller's dominant strategy would shift from the unhedged Urner Barry quote to the unhedged formula price as risk aversion increased.  The hedged formula price was prominent in optimal portfolios of pricing strategies.

Price elasticities, joint products, and international trade
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Piggott,   Nicholas E.; Wohlgenant,   Michael K.
This paper extends the basic results of Houck’s insight for derived demand elasticities for the case of joint products by allowing for the possibility of the joint and raw products being traded. Theoretical relationships between individual demands for a set of jointly-produced commodities that are traded and composite demand for the raw product from which the joint products originate are derived. It is shown that while the derived price elasticity of domestic demand retains the same form as Houck’s original formula, the relevant price elasticities of demand to include in the formula are elasticities of total demand instead of domestic demand elasticities. Using the USA soybean industry as an example, this generalised formula that takes into account trade...

The impact of Australian ethanol policy on agriculture: examining limiting factors
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cuevas-Cubria,   Clara.
Government subsidies have fuelled proposals for new ethanol projects that plan to use Australian grains as their feedstock. Additional ethanol production will intensify competition for grain in the Australian market, particularly during drought periods. This is likely to affect Australia’s largest grain user, the livestock industry. Past empirical work has found that expansions to ethanol production will cause grain prices to increase, as a result of restrictions on grain imports. However, this study finds two factors that could moderate such increases in the price of grain: the reliance of ethanol producers on low cost feedstock to remain economically viable, and the possibility of using imported cassava instead of domestically produced grains for ethanol...

Defining elasticities for PMP models by estimating marginal cost functions based on FADN Data - the case of Swiss dairy production
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mack,   Gabriele; Mann,   Stefan.
The Swiss agricultural sectoral information and forecasting system (SILAS) is based on the PMP standard approach. The marginal cost functions are estimated by exogenous elasticities. Due to the lack of empirical data the elasticities were set for all activities to unity. Based on total milk production costs of FADN farms, regional supply functions were estimated. The results are used to adjust the marginal cost functions of organic and non-organic dairy cow activities in the model SILAS to the empirically estimated functions. The results show that the marginal cost functions in the sectoral model are in general a bit steeper than in the FADN estimations, when elasticities by the value one are applied. Major differences between organic and non-organic milk...

Most quality properties of food products can be considered as credence characteristics, quality of which cannot be inferred before the purchase, and sometimes not even after the purchase.  Our objectives are: (1) To assess how much consumers are willing to pay (WTP) for meat products, of which e.g. origins and production practices are known, especially with regard to safety issues; (2) To compare the applicability, reliability, and efficiency of safety information provided by either private companies or public institutions, and (3) to explore the possibility of the so-called information paradox: is more information always better – or more beneficial – information?

Recently, Italian agriculture has been widely characterised by the increasing number of farms and land converting to organic farming. In the slow process of shifting from a "niche" to a broader consumption in the organic products market deep differences between conventional and organic production, distribution and consumption became evident. In such a context, the consumer's behaviour about organic products analysis transpires to be complex as it involves either social - economic and psychographic characteristics. In order to address this issue a research has been carried out in two steps: in the first one, a qualitative analysis step, 45 consumer s of organic products were interviewed by phone using laddering techniques; then, in the second quantitative...

The results indicate that the required information can be recovered and that including public goods can make a noticeable difference in the index.

Autores: Baldwin,   E. Dean; Wisner,   Robert N.; Blue,   E. Neal.
Pre-harvest corn and soybean options-based pricing strategies, and crop yield and revenue insurance were applied to model farms in three states. These combinations reduced income variability while increasing net incomes relative to uninsured harvest cash sales. Adding crop insurances to pre-harvest pricing reduced net incomes from those with pre-harvest pricing alone,  but produced larger incomes than uninsured harvest sales. The Ohio model farm was modified to reflect (1) a debt-free operation, (2) a cash renter, and (3) a buyer-renter operation. No strategy was able to cover opportunity costs on investments for types (1) and (3). For farm type (3), mean net cash-flow returns were negative for harvest cash sales, but positive when pre-harvest pricing was...

CRANBERRY PRICE FORECASTING
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jesse,   Edward V.
In 2000, rapidly-falling grower prices for cranberries led the cranberry industry to seriously consider invoking its federal marketing order for the first time since the early 1970s. The Cranberry Marketing Order permits volume control through producer allotments (grower delivery quotas) or handler withholding (processor set-asides). Possible deployment of volume controls motivated interest in the probable price effects, in particular, what level of production (given inventories and projected imports) would yield an acceptable grower price. As the public member of the Cranberry Marketing Committee and as the Committee's ad hoc staff economist, I agreed to develop a price forecasting model to shed light on this question.

Willingness to pay for a local food label for lamb meat in Spain
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gracia,   Azucena; de Magistris,   Tiziana; Nayga,   Rodolfo M., Jr.
The aim of the paper is to assess consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for a local food produced in a less-favoured area in the Aragon region (Spain). In particular, we examine whether consumers value lamb meat products (lamb and suckling lamb) labelled as “Ojinegra from Teruel”, traditionally produced in these area. We use a nonhypothetical experimental auction to elicit Spanish consumers’ WTP for “Ojinegra from Teruel” labelled lamb products. Results show that consumers are willing to pay a positive premium for a lamb and suckling lamb labelled as “Ojinegra from Teruel”.

The Effects of Vertical Organization on the Pricing of Differentiated Products
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Shi,   Guanming; Chavas,   Jean-Paul.
We investigate differentiated product pricing and the effects of vertical organization under imperfect competition. We rely on vertical measures of concentration (termed VHHI) to study how the exercise of market power varies with substitution/complementarity relationships among products and vertical structures. This approach is applied to U.S. soybean seed pricing under vertical integration versus licensing. We find evidence that vertical organization affects seed prices, with an impact ranging from 1.87% to 13.6% of the mean price. These effects vary by institutional setup.We also find that complementarity can mitigate price enhancements associated with market concentration.

Market Power and Relative Price Adjustment: Evidence from the UK
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Morgan,   C. Wyn; McCorriston,   Steve.
Empirical studies of price transmission often suggest that imperfect pass-through may be due to market power exerted by food retailers. However, these econometric studies essentially lack any formal basis for tying the role of market power with data comprising of retail and producer prices only. We show that if market power has an effect on the farm-retail margin, this determines the specification of the cointegrating relationship. To emphasise the relevance of the tests, we focus on results relating the UK beef sector and show that market power is likely to have played a role in determining the retail-farm price margin.

What Drives Commodity Prices More: Oil Demand or Supply Shocks?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mutuc,   Maria Erlinda M.; Pan,   Suwen; Hudson,   Darren.
This paper shows that the response of agricultural commodity prices in the U.S. related to fluctuations in oil prices in the international market may differ greatly depending on whether the increase is driven by demand or supply shocks in the crude oil market. In the long-run, around 2-7 percent of the variability in grains, oilseeds, and cotton prices can be attributed to shocks to aggregate demand for industrial commodities while none can be traced to oil supply shocks.  This paper improves on the lack of economic structure in VAR models employed so far, and on the issue of short datasets, contributes to the nascent empirical evidence, and identifies the transmission of different types of oil price shocks to movements in agricultural prices in a SVAR...

TESTING SYMMETRY AND HOMOGENEITY IN THE AIDS WITH COINTEGRATED DATA USING FULLY-MODIFIED ESTIMATION AND THE BOOTSTRAP
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Tiffin,   J. Richard; Balcombe,   Kelvin George.
Convential SUR estimation of the AIDS is shown to lead to small sample bias and distortions in the size of a Wald test for symmetry and homogeneity when the data are cointegrated.  A fully-modified estimator is developed in an attempt to remedy these problems.  It is shown that this estimator reduces the small sample bias but fails to eliminate the size distortion.  Bootstrapping is shown to be ineffective as a method of removing small sample bias in both the conventional and fully modified estimators.  Bootstrapping is effective however as a method of removing the size distortion and performs equally well in this respect with both estimators.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chiang,   Fu-Sung; Lee,   Jonq-Ying; Brown,   Mark G.
This study adopted the scaling approach to examine the impacts of inventories on tuna auction prices in Japan using the Rotterdam inverse demand system.  The inclusion of two inventory variables in the model only increases the number of parameters by two.  Results indicate that frozen tunas are more likely to be close substitutes, fresh and frozen tunas of the same species are also likely to be substitutes, and inventory had significant impacts on auction prices.

An Analysis of Bundle Pricing: The Case of the Corn Seed Market
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Shi,   Guanming; Chavas,   Jean-Paul; Stiegert,   Kyle W.
This paper investigates bundle pricing under imperfect competition. In a multiproduct context, we first examine how substitution/complementarity relationships among products can affect pricing. This is used to motivate multi-product generalizations of the Herfindahl-Hirschmann index (GHHI) capturing cross-market effects of imperfect competition on bundle pricing. The GHHI model is applied to pricing of conventional and patented biotech seeds in the US from 2000-2007. One major finding is that standard component pricing in biotech traits is soundly rejected in favor of sub-additive bundle pricing. This result is consistent with the presence of scope economies in the production of genetic traits. The econometric estimates show how changes in market...

JOINT ADOPTION OF MULTIPLE TECHNOLOGIES: A DUAL, LATENT DEMAND APPROACH
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lichtenberg,   Erik; Strand,   Ivar E., Jr.
Latent demand models can be used to overcome computational difficulties that frequently hamper empirical evaluation of relatedness in the adoption of multiple technologies.  This paper develops and applies such an approach to a case involving agricultural soil and water conservation.  The results indicate both complementarity and substitution.  Own-price elasticities of demand for all technologies and cross-price elasticities of demand for related technologies are substantial.  The results are used to derive implications for the design and implementation of cost sharing programs, which have been one of the primary policies used to address nonpoint source agricultural water pollution problems.

IMPACT OF PHASING OUT MILK QUOTAS ON STRUCTURE AND PRODUCTION OF FINNISH DAIRY SECTOR
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lehtonen,   Heikki.
We evaluate impacts of milk quota abolition in Finland where production costs and producer price of milk are among the highest in the EU. We analyse several price scenarios for dairy products corresponding to 10-30% reductions in raw milk prices in the EU following milk quota expansion of 2% per year. The sector model includes 18 dairy products and regions and other agricultural activities. Armington -assumption is used in modelling foreign trade. Trade of milk quotas and structural change are endogenous in the model. The results suggest that 10-15% reductions in the EU milk prices would result in less than 10% decrease in Finnish dairy production. Investments to large farm units would still increase. However, if the EU milk prices decreased by 15-20%...

Autores: Gorny,   Rachel A.; Ahmadi-Esfahani,   Fredoun Z.
Concerns about the recent trends away from the consumption of red meat have led to tests for structural change in demand. These tests have typically treated the individual meats as homogeneous commodities. This article uses disaggregated data to test for structural change in the demand for differentiated meat products in Sydney over the seasons from winter 1987 to autumn 1991 using a revealed preference approach. The results fail to provide any evidence of structural change.

FEEDER CATTLE PRICE SLIDES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Brorsen,   B. Wade; Coulibaly,   Nouhoun; Richter,   Francisca G.-C.; Bailey,   DeeVon.
A theoretical model is developed to explain the economics of determining price slides for feeder cattle.  The contract is viewed as a dynamic game with continuous strategies where the buyer and seller are the players.  The model provides a solution for the price slide that guarantees an unbiased estimate of cattle weight.  An empirical model using Superior Livestock Auction (SLA) data shows price slides used are smaller than those needed to cause the producer to give unbiased estimates of weight.  Consistent with the model's predictions, producers slightly underestimate cattle weights.

Autores: Donaghy,   Peter; Rolfe,   John; Bennett,   Jeffrey W.
Issues concerning consumer demands for genetically modified and organic food remain topical. It is unclear how consumers perceive issues associated with food production such as food safety, environmental impacts or animal welfare. It is also unclear how consumers might value potential changes in those issues in regional and metropolitan centres. This paper reports on research using the choice modelling technique to estimate and compare consumer demand for genetically modified and organic foods in Australia. The case study considers tomatoes, milk and beef commodities. The results draw comparisons between the contribution of associated factors influencing consumer purchasing decisions in a regional and metropolitan city. The results are relevant to the...

MICHIGAN RURAL HOSPITALS:  CHANGES IN SPECIALIZED AND OUTPATIENT SERVICES BETWEEN 1980 AND 1984
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Francoeur,   Richard Benoit.
This study aims to determine the extent to which Michigan rural hospitals decreased the total level of inpatient acute care services and changed the levels of various specialized and outpatient services as well as associated ancillary inputs during the period form 1980 to 1984.  It is expected that many of these services either increased over this period or remained stable since many hospitals may have decided to recoup lost revenues from inpatient acute care and/or to prevent additional revenue losses.  In any event, many changes in these services are expected to be a response to challenges of financial survival.  The specialized and outpatient services in this study exclude inpatient acute care services.  Specialized services are defined to comprise the...

Autores: Hovhannisyan,   Vardges; Gould,   Brian W.
The main goal of this manuscript is to explore the retailer conduct in the milk market in a U.S. Midwestern city, based upon a structural estimation of consumer milk demand and retailer optimality conditions. To model milk demand we rely upon the Almost Ideal Demand System, while allowing the retailer optimality conditions to cover a range of competitive scenarios from perfect competition to horizontal cartel. We employ a conjectural variation approach in the spirit of Newly Empirical Industrial Organization to study the competitive environment on the retail landscape.  We find that the retail market in question is far from being competitive, with the two major retailers being engaged in an oligopolistic competition. Furthermore, the private label milk...

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Menkhaus,   Dale J.; Adams,   Richard M.
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate a technique, discriminant analysis, which may be useful in predicting the direction of movement between fall feeder calf prices and spring yearling prices.  The results of the discriminant analysis model are then compared with a conventional regression approach in terms of relative accuracy of predictions.  The usefulness of incorporating the direction of price movement as a variable in a price prediction model is also evaluated.  Generally, the results suggest that the discriminant analysis approach provides useful information, and the directional variable improves forecasts when incorporated into a traditional forecasting model.

Projecting World Food Demand: A Comparison of Alternative Demand Systems
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Yu,   Wusheng; Hertel,   Thomas W.; Preckel,   Paul V.; Eales,   James S.
Projections of world food demands hinge critically on the underlying functional form used to predict future demands. Simple functional forms can lead to unrealistic projections by failing to capture changes in income elasticities of demand as consumer becomes wealthier. This paper compares several demand systems in the projection of disaggregated food demand across a wide range of countries with different income levels using a global general equilibrium model. We find that the recently introduced AIDADS system represents a substantial improvement over existing demand systems currently in use in CGE modeling. In particular, our projection results show that for relatively poor regions experiencing rapid income growth, the widely used LES and CDE demand...

IMPACTS OF CORN AND SOYBEAN MEAL PRICE CHANGES ON THE DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF U.S. BROILERS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Pothidee,   Ajchara; Allen,   Albert J.; Hudson,   Darren.
This study examined factors that affected the prices of corn and soybean meal and the impact of these prices on market demand and supply for U.S. broilers.  An econometric model consisting of four structural equations and one identity was formulated and estimated using quarterly data from 1976 to 1996.  One of the results reveals that soybean meal price flexibilities with respect to soybean prices were highly elastic in both the short and long run.  This means that changes in soybean prices have a relatively large effect on meal price.  In contrast, meal price and oil price moved in opposite directions.  An increase in oil price encourages an increase in crushing oilseeds, resulting in an increase in both oil and meal supply.  In addition, results...

Autores: Fabiosa,   Jacinto F.; Ukhova,   Yekaterina S.
A two-stage model estimates aggregate and source-specific import demand elasticities for pork in Japan. The low income elasticity of imported pork and low income elasticity of U.S. pork reflect consumer survey results of low quality rating for imported pork compared to domestic pork, and rating for U.S. pork not higher than Canadian pork. To maintain and increase market share, the U.S. needs strategies to reverse consumer attitude by positioning U.S. pork as high quality, safe, and low cost.

In repeated choice modelling studies, it is often the case that individuals always select the status quo option. Although these choices may reflect considered choices, they may also be the result of alternative decisions about whether to participate in the choice process at all. Alternative methods of dealing with this feature of such data are presented, with the implications for estimates of economic values. In particular we consider the alternatives of excluding such individuals from the data, using hurdle models to explicitly model this group, and consider the possibility of latent class models, that endogenously allow for difference preference structures. The application is to a stated preference choice modelling data set that investigates preferences...

A method was developed with time series models to test hypotheses about the relationship between market structure and spatial price dynamics. Long-run dynamic multipliers measuring the magnitude of lagged adjustments for spatial milled rice prices were calculated from the time series model and used as the dependent variable in a regression model that included a number of factors expected to influence price determination. Results show that price adjustments were slower as regional submarket concentration increased and were faster in the regions with a higher market share.

This study examines the world market impact of an expansion in the biofuel sector in the European Union with particular focus on indirect land-use impacts. In the first scenario, an increase of 1 million tonnes oil equivalent (Mtoe) of wheat ethanol use in the European Union expands world land area used in agricultural commodity production by 366,000 hectares, representing an increase of 0.039% in total area. In the second scenario, an increase of 1 Mtoe of rapeseed oil biodiesel use in the European Union expands world land area by 352,000 hectares, representing an increase of 0.038% in total area.  With additional land use somewhat close between the two scenarios, the main difference is the spatial distribution of the sources of additional supply. Because...

EMPIRICAL TESTS OF THE ARGUMENT THAT CONSUMERS VALUE STABLE RETAIL MILK PRICES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Maynard,   Leigh J.
Existing policy allows interstate dairy compacts if they serve a compelling public interest. Compact supporters argue consumers benefit from retail price stability, but no supporting evidence was found. Milk demand systems were estimated using scanner data and four measures of price volatility. Price volatility defined as forecast errors influenced demand, but did not systematically depress demand.  Response was more elastic to unanticipated than anticipated price changes, possibly explaining the higher elasticities often observed in scanner data studies.

The Future of Irish Dairy Farming – The Implications of Agenda 2000 and a Booming Economy
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hennessy,   Thia C.
The future of dairy farming in Ireland is examined. The effects of a strong macroeconomy,  Agenda 2000 and domestic policy on milk quota transfer are analysed using  linear programming and Markov Chain analysis. Results show that all farms are  subjected to a price-cost squeeze. Smaller dairy farms are pushed and pulled out of  farming. Larger farms survive by expanding operations but do not enjoy the increases  in income realised elsewhere in the economy.

Evaluating the Performance of U.S. Supermarkets: Pricing Strategies, Competition from Hypermarkets, and Private Labels
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Volpe,   Richard J., III.
This study draws upon literature from the fields of agricultural economics, industrial organization, and business to study the performance of supermarkets in the United States. The empirical work draws from a rich dataset on the characteristics of supermarkets across the U.S. to test several hypotheses. Supermarkets utilizing everyday low pricing operate more efficiently than those using other strategies. Stores increase their performance by using strategies of their closest competitors. Competition with hypermarkets results in decreased supermarket performance, especially for smaller stores. Increases in private label sales relative to national brand sales are not necessarily related to increased performance.

Pricing-to-Market: Price Discrimination or Product Differentiation?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lavoie,   Nathalie; Liu,   Qihong.
We employ a vertical differentiation model to examine the potential bias in pricing-to-market (PTM) results when using unit values aggregating differentiated products. Our results show that: i) false evidence of PTM ("pseudo PTM") is always found when using unit values, whether the law of one price holds or not; and ii) the extent to which results are biased due to pseudo PTM increases with the level of product differentiation. Correspondingly, our simulation results suggest that: i) it is possible to get a statistically significant estimate of the exchange rate coefficient, even when there is no real PTM; ii) the probability of a false PTM finding increases with product differentiation. Pseudo PTM is the result of a change in the mix of qualities imported...

Autores: Dharmasena,   Senarath; Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Bessler,   David A.
The non-alcoholic beverage market in the U.S. is a multi-billion dollar industry growing steadily over the past decade. Also, non-alcoholic beverages are among the most heavily advertised food and beverage groups in the United States. Several studies pertaining to non-alcoholic beverages including the incorporation of advertising effects have been conducted, but most of these have centered attention on milk consumption. Some studies have considered demand interrelationships for several beverages including advertising effects in systems-wide analyses.  In our analysis, we develop and employ a unique monthly time-series data set derived from Nielsen Homsescan panels for household purchases of non-alcoholic beverages over the period from January 1998 through...

STOP OR GO? HOW IS THE UK FOOD INDUSTRY RESPONDING TO FRONT-OF-PACK NUTRITION LABELS?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Van Camp,   Debra; Souza Monteiro,   Diogo M.; Hooker,   Neal H.
Food nutrition labels have been used for over a decade to aid consumers in making more informed diet choices and to potentially reduce societal costs from diet-related diseases and health conditions. While there is some evidence of the effectiveness of nutrition labels in changing consumption patterns, the scale of such improvements have been marginal. This has led certain government agencies to consider alternative forms of nutrition information. One such approach is front-of-pack (FOP) nutrition labels which provide simple, easily accessible information on a limited number of key nutrients. The use of FOP labels may facilitate healthier diets by influencing consumer behaviour and by providing an incentive for industry to formulate healthier products....

Feeding the Factory Farm: Implicit Subsidies to the Broiler Chicken Industry
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Starmer,   Elanor; Witteman,   Aimee; Wise,   Timothy A.
Since the passage of the 1996 Farm Bill, the U.S. market prices of soybeans and corn have dropped 21% and 32%, respectively. These commodities are sold on the market at a price below what they cost to produce. If U.S. agricultural policies contribute to this trend, then they do so to the benefit of commodity purchasers, particularly the industrial operations that use the commodities as raw material inputs. Corporate-owned livestock operations are a case in point. This paper focuses on the broiler chicken industry, which, in the United States, is fully industrialized and vertically integrated. We compare the average costs of production for broiler feed components—corn and soybean meal—with market prices, and then use these cost-price margins to estimate the...

ASSESSING SOME EFFECTS OF INFLATION ON THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Freebairn,   John W.
The time pattern of effects of inflation on prices received, prices paid, asset returns, and real incomes of different members of the agricultural sector is described. In the long run it is argued that inflation will have very small, if any, effects on relative prices or real incomes. For the short run, which may be several years, it is likely that some prices will rise more slowly than others and cause income losses. Included in the group of losers are producers of export products.

A random nth price experimental auction is used to elicit the willingness to pay (WTP) a premium for the locally produced and high quality white bean "Mongeta Ganxet" (MG) (Catalonia - Spain). Moreover, we are interested in testing the effect on the WTP of providing different pieces of information to participants. Results indicate that the provision of information on organoleptic, nutritional and cooking characteristics of the MG as well as their tasting has increased participants' WTP. Also, providing reference prices of substitutive products (both conventional and alternative high quality white beans) positively stimulates the premium participants are willing to pay for the MG. Finally, the level of consumption, the degree of knowledge about the product...

The objective of our research is to investigate retailer market conduct in the sale of beverage milk using a structural model of consumer behavior and retailer optimality conditions that embrace a range of competitive scenarios. The study is based on an aggregate level analysis of retailer behavior with milk quantity used as a strategic variable.  We contribute to the literature by employing a Generalized Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (GQAIDS) to model milk demand. Furthermore, we derive the retailer optimality conditions that incorporate the slopes of inverse GQAIDS demand curves for the products under study. Lastly, we apply this generalized structural model to study the retailer behavior in marketing national brand (NB) and private label (PL)...

Retail Meat Feature Pricing: Enhancing Meat-Case Revenues?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Pritchett,   James G.; Johnson,   Kamina K.
Retail meat managers have many pricing tools to encourage product purchase, including the feature price, syndicate price, and the percent discount. Given seasonal demands and a large, diverse set of meat cuts, meat managers may form strategic pricing groups when choosing the feature-price, syndicate-price, and percent-discount levels. This research inductively determines these groups using a principal-components method and examines the role feature pricing plays in determining the volume sold and syndicate price. Seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) models are used to simultaneously estimate the impacts of featuring strategy decisions among cluster groups.

Explaining Regional Demand for Federal Farm Credit Programs: An Ordinal Probit Approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dodson,   Charles B.; Koenig,   Steven R.
Demand for federally subsidized farm credit varies regionally, with farm borrowers in some regions very dependent on USDA credit programs.  Counties are grouped based on their level of demand for Farm Service Agency (FSA) direct farm ownership (FO) and farm operating loans (OL). Ordinal probit techniques are applied to analyze factors influencing county-level variation in the use of the loan programs.  Results suggest that counties with the highest level of demand are more likely to have a Farm Credit System branch office, are more likely to be dependent on farming, have a greater share of farms owing debt, and have fewer guaranteed FSA borrowers and racial and ethnic minorities.

Autores: Liang,   Yan; Coble,   Keith H.
This paper employs a cost function analysis method to investigate the existence of moral hazard in cotton buy-up insurance. The trans-log cost function estimates of the own-price elasticity of fertilizer, herbicide, and insecticide is -0.222, -0.143, and -0.121, respectively for Mississippi cotton production. Our results found statistically significant relationship between per acre direct cost and cotton buy-up insurance for year 2001 and 2005 in Mississippi. Our results also indicate that moral hazard can either decrease or increase agricultural input usage depending specific production condition in an individual year.  But in general the results support effects smaller than anecdotal evidence would suggest.

Autores: McKenzie,   Andrew M.; Goodwin,   Harold L., Jr.; Carreira,   Rita I.
Although Vector Autoregressive models are commonly used to forecast prices, specification of these models remains an issue. Questions that arise include choice of variables and lag length. This article examines the use of Forecast Error Variance Decompositions to guide the econometrician’s model specification. Forecasting performance of Variance Autoregressive models, generated from Forecast Error Variance Decompositions, is analyzed within wholesale chicken markets. Results show that the Forecast Error Variance Decomposition approach has the potential to provide superior model selections to traditional Granger Causality tests.

This paper focus on the time adjustment paths of the exchange rate and prices in response to unanticipated monetary shocks following model developed by Saghaian et al. (2002). We employ Johansen's cointegration test along with a vector error correction model to investigate whether agricultural prices overshoot in a transition economy. The empirical results indicate that agricultural prices adjust faster than industrial prices to innovations in the money supply, affecting relative prices in the short run, but strict long-run money neutrality does not hold.

Impacts of Retailers’ Pricing Strategies for Produce Commodities on Farmer Welfare
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Li,   Chenguang; Sexton,   Richard J.
The typical model of retail pricing for produce products assumes retailers set price equal to the farm price plus a certain markup. However, observations from scanner data indicate a large degree of price dispersion in the grocery retailing market. In addition to markup pricing behavior, we document three alternative leading pricing patterns: fixed (constant) pricing, periodic sale, and high-low pricing. Retail price variations under these alternative pricing regimes in general have little correlation with the farm price.   How do retailers’ alternative pricing behaviors affect farmers’ welfare? Using markup pricing as the baseline case, we parameterize the model to reflect a prototypical fresh produce market and carry out a series of simulations under...

SUPPLY RESPONSIVENESS OF RICE FARMERS IN LAGUNA, PHILIPPINES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Flinn,   John C.; Kalirajan,   Kaliappa P.; Castillo,   Linda L.
The supply response and input demand by farmers using modern rice technology in Laguna, Philippines were estimated using profit function analysis. The results indicate that farmers do maximise short-term profits and respond to price changes efficiently. The supply elasticity of rice with respect to its own price was approximately unity. Changes in real wages were estimated to have a greater impact on rice profit and supplies than changes in the real prices of mechanised land preparation, fertiliser or pesticides. Production elasticities derived from the profit function were consistent with those estimated directly from the underlying production function.

Autores: Zou,   Ning Ning (Helen); Hobbs,   Jill E.
This paper examines the reference-dependent and labelling effects when consumers make choices about functional foods, and explores how changes in reference points could alter individuals’ preferences. Functional food (probiotic yogurt) and regular food (regular yogurt) are used as examples to explore the potential reference-dependent effects and labelling effects. A consumer utility model with reference point effects is developed. The paper also explores how to model the effects of different labelling (health claim) policies, which could influence consumer preferences by changing consumers’ reference points.

Autores: Bergtold,   Jason S.; Akobundu,   Eberechukwu; Peterson,   Everett B.
This study estimated a set of unconditional own-price and expenditure elasticities for 49 processed food categories using scanner data and the FAST multistage demand system.  Overall, our estimated own-price and expenditure elasticities are generally much larger, in absolute terms, than previous estimates.  The use of disaggregated product groupings and the estimation of unconditional elasticities accounts for these higher estimates.  Over half of the own-price elasticities are larger, on an absolute basis, than 0.9.  Providing more disaggregate product level demand elasticities could aid in the economic analysis of issues relating to industry competitiveness or the impact of public policy.

In this paper, we investigate from a supply to demand side perspective the stress between food demand and climate change challenges up until 2030. We examine how more stringent climate change mitigation policies could alter agricultural markets and put at risk the nutrition possibilities of populations. We use for this purpose GLOBIOM, an applied partial equilibrium model covering, at the world scale and a fine grid resolution, the main land-based sectors: agriculture, forestry and bioenergy. For this exercise, the model is fully linked to a semi-flexible endogenous demand system with non-linear Engel’s curves. Our...

Integrating Marginal Cost into Pricing-to-market Models for U.S. Agricultural Products
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Saghaian,   Sayed H.; Reed,   Michael R.
This article investigates the markup pricing behaviour of U.S. exporters of agricultural products. Agricultural products studied are feed, flour, frozen potatoes, frozen orange juice, five categories of beef, five categories of pork, and two categories of chicken. The popular pricing-to-market (PTM) approach of Krugman (1987) is used to examine market power and imperfect competition for the markets under study. The PTM model can directly investigate whether there is any evidence of market power in international trade.The sensitivity of U.S. export prices to exchange rate fluctuations may indicate price discrimination and imperfect competition in the international markets. The PTM approach is popular because of its relatively simple specification and...

THE DEMAND FOR DOMESTICALLY PRODUCED SAWN TIMBER: AN APPLICATION OF THE DIEWERT COST FUNCTION
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Doran,   Howard E.; Williams,   David F.
The Australian demand for domestically-produced sawn timber is investigated by considering its major use - as an input into residential construction. Using a cost function approach, a system of equations is derived expressing quantities demanded in terms of relative prices. Cross-price elasticities are estimated and the falling input-output ratio of timber in residential construction is analysed by decomposing the change in this ratio into price, outputs and taste/technology effects. A major finding is that, while substitution of timber for other inputs has been encouraged through relative price movements, this effect has been more than offset by taste and technology trends away from timber usage.

We examine British Columbia (BC) wine consumers’ valuation of wine imported from emerging suppliers (Argentina, Bulgaria, Chile, Croatia and Hungary) through the estimation of a hedonic price function. Retail sales data employed in this study comes from the BC Liquor Distribution Branch and covers weekly sales of table wine that was imported from all five countries into the province of British Columbia. The results indicate that the grape variety is an important factor influencing consumers’ willingness to pay. In particular, white and red wines from Chile are associated with larger price premia while wines from Argentina command a premium only among red wines. Wines from Bulgaria, Croatia and Hungary, although sold in large quantities in the BC market,...

This paper presents price and income elasticities of food demand in Germany. Using cross sectional data from the 2003 German income and consumption survey a Linear Approximate Almost Ideal Demand System is employed. Two aspects which have to be taken into account when using cross-sectional data are insufficient price information and zero expenditures. An approach of COX and WOHLGENANT (1986) is applied to derive quality adjusted prices. In order to take into account censoring of the dependent variables a procedure of SHONKWILER and YEN (1999) was employed. A high expenditure elasticity is found for meat demand. The highest own-price elasticities are for the demand for meat/-products and milk/-products. Within the meat group, beef demand shows a particular...

Fish demand patterns in nine Asian countries were investigated using a multistage budgeting framework allowing a disaggregated approach to analysing fish consumption. This paper highlights the heterogeneity of fisheries products in terms of species, sources and cultural responses of consumers, factors that are important in fish demand under the Asian setting. Specifically, fish demand by income groups were compared to determine how the low- and high-income households respond to price and income changes. Results showed that the estimated price and income elasticities of all fish types included in the study were relatively more elastic among the poorer households.

Bidding for Complex Projects: Evidence From the Acquisitions of IT Services
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Albano,   Gian Luigi; Dini,   Federico; Zampino,   Roberto.
Competitive bidding (as auctions) is commonly used to procure goods and services. Public buyers are often mandated by law to adopt competitive procedures to ensure transparency and promote full competition. Recent theoretical literature, however, suggests that open competition can perform poorly in allocating complex projects. In exploring the determinants of suppliers’ bidding behavior in procurement auctions for complex IT services, we find results that are consistent with theory. We find that price and quality do not exhibit the classical tradeoff one would expect: quite surprisingly, high quality is associated to low prices. Furthermore, while quality is mainly driven by suppliers’ experience, price is affected more by the scoring rule and by the level...

Incentives for Residential Water Conservation: Water Price, Revenue, and Consumer Equity in Florida
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Rawls,   Colin; Borisova,   Tatiana; Berg,   Sanford; Burkhardt,   Jeffrey.
Economic theory suggests that price incentives can be used to encourage water conservation in residential consumers.  Conservation water rates are designed to send price signals that encourage households to reduce discretionary water use in the long term. However, it is not always clear that conservation rates effectively provide meaningful incentives. Utilities themselves may also not have strong incentives to implement conservation rates. If conservation rates have a negative impact on revenue, or if they lead to increased revenue variability, utilities may have a disincentive to use them.  In addition, block pricing structures (where unit water rate increases with water usage) may be inequitable, in the sense that the “revenue burden” is borne...

Motive beim Weinkonsum – Unterschiede zwischen deutschen und ukrainischen Konsumenten
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Rewerts,   Astrid Lucie.
The aim of this study is to contribute to the explanation of consumer behaviour. To do so, it is not sufficient to identify the product characteristics most relevant to the consumer. Moreover, the reasons why consumers attach meaning to the product attributes have to be found out, whereas the consideration of the reasons why consumers prefer certain product attributes should not stick to the functional use of products. The reason for this is that according to Means-End-Chain-Theory product attributes are of little importance to the consumers who try to achieve benefits, i.e. certain consequences with the aid of product attributes. However, the prospect of buying different products does not have to be the achievement of consequences. In contrast,...

PRICE DEPENDENCE AND FUTURES PRICE THEORY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Blank,   Steven C.
A new interpretation of commodity futures price theory is evaluated because, currently, many products exhibit price behavior which cannot be explained with existing theory.  A method for classifying products according to the particular price theory relevant to them is provided.  The classification method uses the futures price dependence enforced by arbitrage opportunities in spot market as its base.  The futures markets for beef cattle and corn are used as examples.

Combining mixed logit models and random effects models to identify the determinants of willingness to pay for rural landscape improvements
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Campbell,   Danny.
This paper reports the findings from a discrete choice experiment study designed to estimate the economic benefits associated with rural landscape improvements in Ireland. Using a mixed logit model, the panel nature of the dataset is exploited to retrieve willingness to pay values for every individual in the sample. This departs from customary approaches in which the willingness to pay estimates are normally expressed as measures of central tendency of an a priori distribution. In a different vein from analysis conducted in previous discrete choice experiment studies, this paper uses random effects models for panel data to identify the determinants of the individual-specific willingness to pay estimates. In comparison with the standard methods used to...

Autores: Lloyd,   Tim A.; Morgan,   C. Wyn; McCorriston,   Steve; Zgovu,   Evious.
This paper assesses the impact of promotional activity in the prices of food products on supermarket shelves. The study analyses a unique, high frequency panel of supermarket prices consisting of over 230,000 weekly price observations on around 500 products in 15 categories of food stocked by the UK’s seven largest retail chains. In all, 1,700 weekly time series are available at the barcode-specific level including branded and own label products. Prices are inclusive of promotions and thus allow the frequency, magnitude and duration of sales to be analysed in greater detail than has hitherto been possible with UK data. Using this price data, sales periods are indentified. Results show that around 8% of products are on sale at any one time, and that sales...

According to world market studies, the influence of policy measures on the world market price in one or in a limited number of countries is, in general, much less significant than the influence of multilateral policy changes. To investigate the impact of EU agricultural policies on world market prices, we attempt to model the transmission between EU policy and world prices directly via world market price equations, as part of the AGMEMOD model.

This study relates habit persistence and trust to recurring food safety incidents in the context of a series of three BSE incidents in Canada. We examined the dynamics of monthly beef expenditure shares of a sample of Canadian households for monthly time periods during year 2002 through 2005 using micro level panel data which followed meat expenditures by Canadian households before and after the first three BSE cases which were discovered in 2003 and 2005. Our results suggest that households’ reactions to the first three BSE events followed a similar general pattern: households reduced beef purchase expenditures following the discovery of BSE but these expenditures subsequently recovered, suggesting that concern diminished over time. Following the first...

This research examines how fluctuations in quality affect consumer expenditures for fresh fruit at the retail level. This paper examines how consumers’' purchasing behaviors react to changes in fresh fruit quality by quantifying quality characteristics based on weekly observations. A four-point scale was created and used to quantify four different quality characteristics: bruising, markings, brilliance, and maturity. A non-linear Almost Ideal Demand System was used to model the share equations for Gala apples, Fuji apples, Red Delicious apples, other sweet apples, tart apples, pears, bananas, and oranges. Seventy-nine weeks of data on weekly store sales were collected from two grocery stores in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area. Results from the...

A Note on Price Information in Commodity Markets with Evidence from the Cotton Market
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hudson,   Darren; Ethridge,   Don E.; Segarra,   Eduardo.
Theory and analysis of price information and its importance have typically assumed that the information is correct.  Additionally, most analyses have centered on general price information assuming homogeneous products.  This paper examines the implications of incorrect price information on the basis of quality, with evidence from prior research on cotton prices used as an illustration.  Results of a conceptual analysis indicate that quality has direct implications on the production and marketing process.  Incorrect information on prices of different quality leads to distortions in the market and market inefficiency.

OVERSHOOTING OF AGRICULTURAL PRICES IN FOUR ASIAN ECONOMIES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Saghaian,   Sayed H.; Hasan,   Mohamad F.; Reed,   Michael R.
This article examines the impacts of monetary policy on agricultural prices in four Asian economies using time series analysis and graph theory.  The estimations clearly show that agricultural prices overshoot their long-run equilibrium values for Korea, Philippines, and Thailand, and the overshooting for agricultural prices is larger than for manufactured prices.  Impulse-response functions and variance-decomposition analysis based on directed graphs and causal structures highlight the complex interplay among the variables in the model and how those relationships differ by country.  Money supply changes clearly affect real variables and relative prices for all countries either through overshooting or non-neutrality of money.

A Modified, Implicit, Directly Additive Demand System
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cranfield,   John A.L.; Preckel,   Paul V.; Hertel,   Thomas W.
A recently developed demand system, nicknamed AIDADS, offers a more general approach to capturing consumption preferences.  AIDADS generalizes the LES by assuming marginal budget shares vary indirectly with expenditure.  AIDADS is limited by the fact that the subsistence parameters are constant across expenditure.  We modify AIDADS by replacing the constant subsistence parameters with a function which varies with utility, and hence expenditure.  The modified AIDADS (MAIDADS) allows subsistence levels to vary with expenditure.  This model is applied to the 1996 International Consumption Project data.  As these data span a wide range of expenditure levels, MAIDADS offers a viable alternative when estimating "global demand systems." Results suggest...

Organic Food Consumption Patterns in France
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hassan,   Daniel; Monier-Dilhan,   Sylvette; Nichele,   Veronique; Simioni,   Michel.
This research addresses two important issues for the future expansion of organic consumption in France. The first one is related to knowing whether the organic choice is a permanent feature of consumer’s attitude or not: Do organic buyers occasionally pick one organic product or do they choose organic for “several” categories? The second issue concerns the impact of prices on buying organics which is revisited, distinguishing between capturing new consumers and increasing the demand coming from people already involved in organic markets. These questions are examined using the market basket approach; the price issue requires further estimations of demand models. The study relies on two staple food products, eggs and milk. The findings are : (i) choosing...

In Tunisia, the apples occupy a significant place on the sector of perennial crops. This crop covered expanded areas during the eighties following an extensive use of efficient water equipments. However, significant seasonal and annual variation of fruit supplies in the domestic market were frequently encountered affecting prices at both wholesale and consumption levels. To study the supply response of apples we carried out an econometric estimate of the model of supply response. Modelling was carried out in two stages: determination of the variation of the surfaces, on the basis of equation of news plantations and the equation of removals, and the variation of yields. The methodological approach that we followed takes account of the characteristics and...

The process by which producers form expectations has implications for model building and policy analysis. An econometric model of the Australian wool market is estimated. It is shown that the rational expectations hypothesis is not inconsistent with the data for both the period before the floor price scheme was implemented and since that date. This finding has important implications, since it has been shown that the welfare gains from stabilisation are small if producers form rational expectations.

Vertical markets for foods are linked through pricing systems with much of the performance seen through how well price information is reflected at points of exchange. Price linkage models are estimated using recursive asymmetric methods for measuring price linkages in the U.S. food distribution system for 100 food commodities from January 1995 to June 2009.  Preliminary results show that price linkages to be strong but declining over time with evidence of asymmetric in the long run.  Long run rising prices are pass through more than falling.

This paper analyses the impact of food safety information about the 'mad-cow' crisis on the demand for different types of fresh meat and fish in Spain. The theoretical model explicitly incorporates food safety information in the consumers' utility function, from which demand equations are obtained. Two alternative functional forms have been considered, the standard AIDS and the Generalized Almost ideal Demand System (GAIDS) in order to overcome the problem of incorporating demand shifters in the traditional AIDS model. The food safety information has been incorporated into the demand function through a weighted information index built on the basis of the published news related to the mad-cow disease in the most popular Spanish newspaper. The comparison of...

CAN PRICE SUPPORTS NEGATE THE SOCIAL GAINS FROM PUBLIC RESEARCH EXPENDITURES IN AGRICULTURE?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: de Gorter,   Harry; Swinnen,   Johan F.M.
The burgeoning literature on how the benefits from research may be negative for a given price support arbitrarily ignores the costs of price supports for a given level of research. Furthermore, the very existence of price supports is inconsistent with the normative criterion that governments simply maximize social income. We show that there are always gains from research, even if governments maximize social income subject to a farm income goal. Our results are also consistent with the statements made by Schultz and Ruttan that ignoring price supports will result in all over (or under) valuation of research benefits. Finally, we indicate that the predictions of the "no gains from research" literature may not be substantiated by empirical evidence and that...

This paper applies the BLP approach to the demand for ready-to-eat cereals (RTECs) at the supermarket-chain level in Boston using IRI monthly data. The Random Coefficient Model is used to estimate the demand for 37 brands of RTECs at the leading supermarkets in the Boston area. The empirical results provide a wealth of consumer behavior information, including own- and cross-price elasticites for 37 brands of RTECs at four leading supermarkets in Boston. The demand for RTECs is generally price elastic (ranging between -3 and -8). Consumers respond positively and strongly to promotion, negatively and strongly to price, calories and fiber, and weakly to sugar content. Income has a strong interactive effect with product characteristics and thus is a useful...

Autores: Yu,   Wusheng; Jensen,   Hans Grinsted.
Existing literature on the 2007/8 food price crisis focuses on the causes and poverty and hunger consequences of the crisis and seems to be less concerned with the interactions of different policy measures applied by governments. As such, the relative effectiveness, interactions and costs of these policy actions are often not satisfactorily explored. This paper provides a first preliminary quantitative assessment on the individual and joint effects of China’s short term trade policy actions and existing domestic support measures on domestic market prices, outputs, trade flows and farm income, using a global CGE model characterized with detailed and up-to-date policy information for China in the year of 2008. A series of interesting results emerge from our...

Market Structure Conduct Performance Hypothesis Revisited Using Stochastic Frontier Efficiency Analysis
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Shaik,   Saleem; Allen,   Albert J.; Edwards,   Seanicaa; Harris,   James.
Stochastic frontier analysis, which is used to estimate the technical efficiency, is extended to examine the market structure, conduct and performance hypothesis for the U.S. trucking industry. The technical efficiency measure takes into account not only the relationship between inputs used in the production of output but also simultaneously examine the importance of market structure conduct factors on the performance of the firm. An empirical application to U.S. trucking carriers over the period 1994-2003 is examined. Results reveal that the variables average haul, average load, debt-to-equity and market concentration significantly affected technical efficiency. Capital, fixed and variable input variables were significant in the production function...

Determinants of Beef and Pork Brand Equity
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Parcell,   Joseph L.; Schroeder,   Ted C.
A set of consumer-level characteristic demand models were estimated to determine the level of brand equity for pork and beef meat cuts. Results indicate that brand premiums and discounts vary by private, national, and store brands; and brand equity varies across meat cuts carrying the same brand name. Other results are that product size discounts are linear, meat items on sale are significantly discounted to non-sale items, specialty stores typically do not garner higher prices than supermarket/grocery store, and warehouse/super center stores typically premium price to supermarket/ grocery store.

Characteristics, Costs, and Issues for Organic Dairy Farming
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: McBride,   William D.; Greene,   Catherine R.
Organic milk production has been one of the fastest growing segments of organic agriculture in the United States in recent years. Despite the growing number of organic dairy operations, the characteristics of organic dairy operations and the relative costs of organic and conventional milk production have been difficult to analyze. This study, using 2005 ARMS data for U.S. dairy operations, which include a targeted sample of organic milk producers, examines the structure, costs, and challenges of organic milk production. The analysis addresses economies of size, regional differences, and pasture use in organic milk production and compares organic and conventional milk production costs. The findings suggest that economic forces have made organic operations...

Autores: Wolf,   Marianne McGarry.
This research uses simulated test marketing methodology to examine the consumer purchase interest in organic grapes and price sensitivity. A profile of the target organic food purchaser is identified and consumer perceptions of organic grapes are compared to their perceptions of regular (conventionally grown) grapes.  The research uses a survey instrument and a concept exposure that were administered through the use of a personal interview of 342 randomly selected respondents at food stores in May 2001 in San Luis Obispo County, California.  Comparisons of nominal and ordinal variables were generated through the use of chi-square tests.  The statistical tests used to examine interval and ratio variables are t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, and...

Brazil’s Minimum Price Policy and the Agricultural Sector of Northeast Brazil
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fox,   Roger W.
The effect pubic policy has on the relative prices of agricultural commodities is a controversial topic in developing countries, developed countries, and international agencies alike. The controversy arises as a result of a lack of understanding of the conflicting effects of relative price changes on various producer and consumer income classes and, when the effects are understood, as a result of emphasizing the value class over another. Unfortunately, there are a few case studies available on the workings of the many and varied approaches taken to agricultural price policy in the developing countries. IFPRI was delighted to take advantage of Roger Fox’s availability to make this study of the minimum price program of Brazil, as it applies to the...

Soyfood Consumption Patterns: Effects of Product Attributes and Household Characteristics
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Rimal,   Arbindra; Moon,   Wanki; Balasubramanian,   Siva K.
Effects of perceived attributes of soyfoods on the consumption patterns for six different soyfood products are evaluated. Perceived attributes include convenience, health benefits, and taste. The soyfood products are tofu, vegetable burgers, soy milk, soy supplements, meat substitutes, and soy cheese. This study uses a conceptual model that highlights the role of perceived attributes in a demand model by combining Lancaster’s characteristics model with Fishbein’s multi-attribute model. A binary-choice model and a zero-inflated negative binomial model (ZINB) are used as empirical specifications to address the zero consumption of soyfood products. Results show that perceived health attributes of soyfood have differential effects across the six soyfood...

Autores: Chidmi,   Benaissa; Fadiga,   Mohamadou L.
This study analyses the stochastic behavior of price-cost margins (PCMs) in the U.S. meat industry.  It, first, develops and estimates a vertical relationship economic model to derive PCMs in the U.S. meat industry (Beef, Pork, and Poultry).  Second it analyzes the behavior of PCMs by decomposing them into their seasonal, cyclical, and trend components using the state-space and the Kalman filtering methods.  Price-cost margins in the U.S. meat industry are governed by two common trends and two common cycles.  The study also found cyclical variability of PCMs is the highest with chicken, secular variability of PCMs is the highest with pork, while seasonal variability of PCMs is the highest with beef.

Using Options: The Role of Declining Time Value
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: King,   Katie; Zulauf,   Carl R.
Farmers and other buyers and sellers of commodities use options in their marketing strategies. A cost of buying put and call options is the decay in option premium that occurs from the time an option position is established until the time the option position is closed out. This article finds that the average option premium decay cost associated with buying December corn and November soybean put and call options is relatively small if the option position is closed out before mid-to-late June. After this date the average option premium decay cost begins to accelerate, resulting in and increasing cost of using options to market corn and soybeans.

Price Determination for Corn and Wheat: The Role of Market Factors and Government Programs
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Westcott,   Paul C.; Hoffman,   Linwood A.
Annual models for U.S. farm prices for corn and wheat are developed based on market factors as well as government agricultural commodity programs. The pricing relationships utilize a stocks-to-use modeling framework to capture the effects of market supply and demand factors on price determination. This formulation is augmented by factors that represent the changing role of agricultural policies, particularly government price support and stockholding programs. For wheat, international market effects as well as wheat feed use and related crosscommodity pricing considerations also are included. Model properties and model performance measures are presented. Additionally, recent price-forecasting applications of the models are discussed. The relatively simple...

WORLD FIBERS DEMAND
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Clements,   Kenneth W.; Lan,   Yihui.
This paper analyses the world demand for fibers using the system-wide approach with three dimension—product X space X time.  We investigate to what extent differences in international consumption patterns of fibers can be explained by differences in incomes and prices faced by different consumers.  A novel approach to cross-country consumption comparisons is employed to avoid the troublesome problem of what exchange rates to use when converting data into a common currency unit.  We use data from the ten largest consuming countries to estimate demand systems and then examine how they perform in predicting consumption patterns in a large number of out-of-sample countries.

THE SENSITIVITY OF CALORIE-INCOME DEMAND ELASTICITY TO PRICE CHANGES: EVIDENCE FROM INDONESIA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Skoufias,   Emmanuel.
The calorie-income demand elasticity is an important parameter in the development literature and in the policy arena. Yet, there is very little evidence on the extent to which it can be considered as an unchanging parameter or a time-shifting parameter that, for example, changes with the economic conditions faced by households. In this paper I use data from the 1996 and 1999 National Socio-Economic Surveys (SUSENAS) in Indonesia to examine whether the relationship between income changes and caloric availability has changed and if so, how. Using the same questionnaire, the SUSENAS surveys collect detailed information on more than 200 different food items consumed over the last seven days by 60,000 households at the same point in each survey year.

A MODIFIED PARTIAL ADJUSTMENT MODEL OF AGGREGATE U.S. AGRICULTURAL SUPPLY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: LaFrance,   Jeffrey T.; Burt,   Oscar R.
Aggregate U.S. agricultural supply response is modeled through a modified partial adjustment model, where the effects of weather and other temporal stochastic effects are structured to be purely static, while the effects of price and technology, or trend, are dynamic.  The model is applied to a time series of aggregate U.S. farm output, aggregate U.S. crop production, and aggregate U.S. livestock and livestock products production for several sample periods within the period 1911-1958.  The three aggregate output indexes are tested for irreversibilities in supply response, and no evidence of a definitive irreversible supply function is found for any of the dynamic supply models.  The use of a nonstochastic difference equation to model the aggregate farm...

Consolidated Markets, Brand Competition, and Orange Juice Prices
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Binkley,   James K.; Canning,   Patrick N.; Dooley,   Ryan; Eales,   James S.
This paper examines how consolidation in the marketing system affects prices for orange juice. We isolated the pricing behavior of brand marketers, wholesalers, and retailers by observing the retail prices for specific orange juice products, including leading national brands and private label brands, in 54 U.S. markets over a 1-year period. The data provided little compelling evidence that consolidated markets engaged in non-competitive pricing behavior. Increased brand competition, particularly between private labels and leading national brands, did, however, appear to lower average market prices.

THE IMPACT OF HEALTH, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ATTRIBUTES OF SALMON CHOICE IN THE UNITED STATES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Brett,   Daniel F.; Melo,   Oscar.
In recent years, U.S. consumers have increasingly sought information about the health implications of their food purchases, as well as the environmental and social impact of the food production process. While this growing consumer demand has helped facilitate the development of several seafood certification programs, no accessible public or private data shows that U.S. shoppers are willing to pay a premium for certified seafood. To estimate whether a price premium exists for current and forthcoming certifications for wild and farmed salmon producers, and to better understand U.S. consumers’ preferences for salmon, we surveyed a representative sample of 955 shoppers from the United States. We then conducted a conjoint analysis on their willingness to pay...

MEAT DEMAND IN THE UK: A DIFFERENTIAL APPROACH
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fousekis,   Panos; Revell,   Brian J.
A differential approach is employed to analyze demand for meat in the United Kingdom during 1989-99. Differential demand systems with fixed price effects (Rotterdam and CBS) better explain consumers’ retail purchase allocation decisions for beef, lamb, pork, bacon and poultry compared with models containing variable price effects (NBR and differential AIDS). The real expenditures and the Hicksian demand elasticities are generally found to be quite different from earlier studies using AIDS models. A quality change index of meat consumption is constructed from the estimated CBS model estimation results and decomposed into real expenditure, substitution, trend, seasonal and residual effects.

EFFECTS OF CHEAP TALK ON CONSUMER WILLINGNESS-TO-PAY FOR GOLDEN RICE
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lusk,   Jayson L.
A large body of literature suggests individuals behave differently when responding to hypothetical valuation questions than when actual payment is required.  Such findings have generated a great deal of skepticism over the use of the contingent valuation method and benefit measures derived from it.  Recently, a new method, cheap talk, has been proposed to eliminate the potential bias in hypothetical valuation questions.  Cheap talk refers to process of explaining hypothetical bias to individuals prior to asking a valuation question.  This study explores the effect of cheap talk in a mass mail survey using a conventional value elicitation technique.  Results suggest that cheap talk was effective at reducing willingness-to-pay for most survey participants....

The empirical evidence focuses on breakfast products in general and jam and breakfast cereals in particular. Main results are the following: 1. Theory of optimal pricing by multiproduct firms suggests that direct and cross price elasticities of demand and marginal costs determine the profit-maximizing price at one point of time. Good reasons do exist additionally for multiproduct retailers to vary prices...

THE DERIVED DEMAND FOR REAL CASH BALANCES IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: LeBlanc,   Michael; Yanagida,   John F.; Conway,   Roger K.
Implications of real cash balances as a productive input in agricultural production are explored. A system of aggregate input demand functions for agriculture including real cash balances is formulated and estimated, assuming that producers minimize input costs for a given output level. Empirical results suggest real cash balances are an important contributor to agricultural production. Their exclusion from production studies may lead to serious specification biases. Tests herein indicate that the demand for cash balances is relatively inelastic with respect to changes in the user cost of money and that real cash balances are a substitute for machinery and capital.

Comparing Heterogeneous Consumption in US and Japanese Meat and Fish Demand
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Tonsor,   Glynn T.; Marsh,   Thomas L.
This article uses national, quarterly data to conduct an empirical analysis of pre-committed meat and fish demand by US and Japanese households using the Generalized Almost Ideal Demand System (GAIDS). US consumers are found to hold pre-committed demand for beef and pork, while Japanese consumers appear to possess significant pre-committed demand for beef and fish. This provides evidence to partly explain observed differences in Japanese and US consumer reactions to non-price and non-income effects in beef, pork, poultry, and fish. In addition, the first known empirical comparison of how the GAIDS and more traditional AIDS models assess meat and fish demand is offered with both in- and out-of-sample evaluations.

The cotton market in China is highly interactive with international markets, especially, the US market. The prices in these two markets can reveal important market relations. Investigating the data of futures prices from the New York Board of Trade (NYBOT) and the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange (CZCE) using several time series methods, we find a long-run cointegration relationship between these I(1) series. Furthermore, a bi-directional Granger Causality between these two futures markets is detected with Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) error specifications. We also find the relationship is impacted by the Chinese exchange rate policy change in the 2005.

Recent research in marketing has focused on cross-category variation in the market share of private label products, while recent work in the economics and industrial organization literature has focused on the determinants of firm price setting behavior.  In this paper, the authors develop a framework for estimating market share and price reaction equations simultaneously in an attempt to understand the nature of competitive interaction in the market for private label and branded grocery products.  Empirical findings support the author's premise that consumer response to price and promotion decisions (demand) and the factors influencing firm pricing behavior (supply) jointly determine observed market prices and market shares.

This paper analyzes if people use ignorance as an excuse to pursue immediate gratification, at the expense of future wellbeing, a behavior we label ‘strategic self-ignorance’. In a theoretical model we show that present-biased individuals benefit from choosing ignorance of the potentially negative impact of present consumption, and that ignorance leads to over consumption of harmful goods. In an experiment we empirically test for strategic self-ignorance. The experiment entails prepared meals, for which subjects may be familiar with the taste (immediate utility) but are uninformed of the calorie content (potential harm to future health). Subjects are offered costless information on the calorie content of the meal alternatives. A majority of subjects (58...

Costs and benefits of higher tariffs on wheat imports to South Africa
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: McDonald,   Scott; Punt,   Cecilia; Rantho,   Lillian; van Schoor,   Melt.
Low international wheat prices, caused by tariffs and subsidies in developed countries, have been blamed for causing financial difficulty to South African farmers. While indignation at unfair trade practices may be valid, it does not necessarily follow that protection of the local industry is the best response. This study uses a static general equilibrium model to describe and quantify the effects of increased tariffs (by up to 25 percentage points) on the local wheat industry, other affected industries-- particularly downstream industries-- and the economy at large. The effects on factors, households and the government are also analysed. The results show that the benefits to the wheat industry are highly concentrated and smaller than the loss of income...

China's 10-year old wheat futures market, the China Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange (CZCE) has been in stable development since establishment and is expected to be integrated to the world market after China joined WTO.  This paper compares the price behavior of CZCE with that of the Chicago Board of trade (CBOT) in the US using ARCH/GARCH based univariate and multivariate time series models for the period between 1999 and 2003, around when China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO).  Results show both markets can be modeled by an ARCH (1) or a GARCH (1,1), and the models have better fit when conditional error variance is t distributed.  The price series in CZCE and CBOT are interrelated but not cointegrated.  The existing interrelations between the two...

It is when prices are within such a region when they are no cointegrated, when prices are in its boundaries they are not only cointegrated but also fulfilling the Law of One Price (LOP). Nonetheless the econometric techniques assume a mean reverting process in order to test for cointegration, either linear or non linear.  This research shows that in the absence of such mean reverting process by using prices in pure equilibrium, cointegration (linear and non linear) is often rejected. Such findings go in line with the Band Threshold Autoregressive Model where the neutral band is a region of no cointegration. Furthermore it can be concluded that...

Consistency of Consumer Valuation Under Different Information Sets: An Experimental Auction with Sweet Potatoes
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Nalley,   Lawton Lanier; Hudson,   Darren; Parkhurst,   Gregory M.
We used a controlled, uniform 5th-price auction to elicit values for sweet potatoes—both when location is known and unknown, and before and after tasting and providing health information. Significant differences were found between pre- and post-consumption valuations and also found that there were significant effects for location of origin and health information. Interestingly, we also find that location of origin not only affects the level of bids, but also the marginal differences in bids between different potatoes. Overall, however, these results suggest little consistency in bid values across information sets, suggesting that attempting to elicit values of attributes in isolation may lead to erroneous results.

THE DEMAND FOR MEAT - AN EXAMPLE OF AN INCOMPLETE COMMODITY DEMAND SYSTEM
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fisher,   Brian S.
Equations describing the demand for beef and veal, mutton, lamb, pork and chicken are estimated using the full information maximum likelihood estimator. Elasticity estimates are presented and the double logarithmic model is compared with a demand system which is derived from the indirect translog utility function. Estimates of the direct price and income elasticities are not particularly sensitive to model specification but the estimated cross-price elasticities are sensitive to the choice of functional form. The results indicate that the double logarithmic specification may be less satisfactory than the alternative presented in cases where restrictions on the parameters are imposed during estimation.

This paper uses experimental auction method to study the WTA for GM rice cookies of Chinese consumers. The bid data are collected from 353 randomly recruited undergraduate students participated in Wuhan, China, during the spring and early summer of 2008.The experiment auction suggest most participant hold a positive WTA for GM rice cookie, which suggest that consumers regard GM rice an inferior substitutes for non-GM rice. Information favorable of GM rice will decrease the WTA, while negative information will increase the WTA. When information of both sides is revealed, the WTA bids decrease at different pace according to the sequence of discovering information.

U.S. participation in trade liberalization agreements with Canada and Mexico through the Canada–U.S. Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has generated intense debates in agricultural sectors about the benefits and costs of those agreements. The CFTA and NAFTA mandate that live cattle and beef trade among Canada, Mexico, and the United States be based upon competitive factors and include legal safeguards to deal with arbitrary trade restrictions. Nominal and real U.S. fed and feeder cattle prices declined throughout the 1990s. Over the same period, the total U.S. beef supply increased from 25 billion pounds to 28.5 billion pounds. Imports (both beef and beef obtained from live cattle) accounted for almost 0.5...

Analysing the South African table grape industry within a partial equilibrium framework
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Reynolds,   Sanri.
This paper presents a partial equilibrium model for the South African table grape industry, focussing on the fresh market segments. The model is a dynamic recursive model solving various equations simultaneously, reaching a state of equilibrium once total production equals total demand and equilibrium is established in the export- and domestic market for fresh grapes. Results over the next eight years are presented in the form of a baseline outlook and two “what if” questions. Answering these questions quantifies the sensitivity of the export price to changes in demand and supply. The model is housed and maintained in the Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy at the Western Cape Department of Agriculture and Universities of Pretoria and Stellenbosch.

RETAIL-FARM PRICE MARGINS AND CONSUMER PRODUCT DIVERSITY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Reed,   Albert J.; Elitzak,   Howard; Wohlgenant,   Michael K.
This bulletin provides an alternative approach for computing retail-farm price margins. Current published estimates of retail-farm price margins are calculated assuming that food markets are comprised of identical firms producing, in fixed-factor proportions, a homogeneous set of final food products. The approach presented here relaxes these assumptions by relying on an expenditure-based measure, justified by the Generalized Composite Commodity Theorem, that reflects consumer demand for the many different elementary food products associated with a modern food market. This measure allows a direct link between consumer demand for diverse elementary products and food quality and marketing services where increases in retail-farm price margins, for example, can...

Flower Power at the Dutch Flower Auctions? Application of an Inverse Almost Ideal Demand System
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Steen,   Marie.
Information on price-quantity relationships will enable flower producers to reduce risk and raise profits through better timing of rotations as well as better utilization of limited greenhouse space. The present paper presents econometric evidence on such price-quantity relationships for major species of cut flowers at the Dutch flower auctions. Specifically, an inverse linear approximate almost ideal demand model with seasonal adjustments is applied. This paper is introducing trigonometric functions as a flexible and inexpensive alternative that outperforms standard seasonal dummies. Major findings are that all flexibilities (quantity elasticities) are strongly significant. Own price flexibilities are negative as expected. The own flexibilities vary...

Autores: de Carlos,   Pilar; Garcia Martinez,   Marian; de Felipe,   Isabel; Briz,   Julian; Morais,   Federico.
The development of new products and how the process is organised and managed within the firm is a key area in management research due to the high failure rate of new products and the consequent waste of limited resources. Developing new products and being innovative requires companies to have deep understanding of the consumer, the market and the environment but most importantly to effectively apply this knowledge in the development of new products that meet consumer's expectations. This paper aims at developing an innovative framework to incorporate the 'voice of consumer' at early stages of the new product development (NPD) process. To that end, the paper will consider the practical implementation of the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) in the...

Autores: Kang,   Hyunsoo; Kennedy,   P. Lynn.
This paper aims to determine the solidity of the notion of the "coffee paradox" using annual data from 1977 to 2007. In the confines of an export supply model, we analyze the effects of export coffee price on export volume. Price and profit equation are used to determine the effects of market power on export coffee price and measure changes in the retail and export price. We also estimate the elasticity of transmission and price asymmetry as a means of verifying the "coffee paradox." Ordinary Least Square (OLS), Instrumental Variables (IV), and simultaneous equation with Seemingly Unrelated Regressions (SUR) methods of econometric analysis are employed.  Empirical results suggest that the world coffee market is characterized by "coffee paradox" due to...

This study involves the application of a random-effects double-hurdle model to survey data to identify the farm-level factors affecting the adoption and intensity of herbicide use in rice production in the Philippines. Results broadly indicate apparent differences in the degree to which important explanatory variables affect the intensity and adoption decisions. The age of the farmer, household size, and irrigation are the significant predictors influencing the decision of farmers to use herbicides, while economic variables such as the price of herbicides, total income of farmers, and the use of bank loans or credit are the highly significant factors determining the intensity of herbicide use. Significant determinants of both the adoption and intensity...

CONSUMER DEMAND FOR AND ATTITUDES TOWARD ALTERNATIVE BEEF LABELING STRATEGIES IN FRANCE, GERMANY, AND THE UK
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Roosen,   Jutta; Lusk,   Jayson L.; Fox,   John A.
A wide array of food safety scares and breakdowns have led to loss of consumer confidence in the quality and safety of beef products.  To counteract such concerns, firms and regulators have the ability to utilize brands or labels to signal quality.  Utilizing a mail survey in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, we analyzed consumer preferences for alternative beef labeling strategies.  Using an ordered probit model and a double bounded logit model, we estimate consumer preferences for alternative beef labeling programs.  In general, results suggest that consumers have more confidence in government mandated labels as opposed to private brands.  French and German consumers place a higher level of importance on brands and labels than do UK consumers....

The ENSO Impact on Predicting World Cocoa Prices
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ubilava,   David; Helmers,   Claes Gustav.
Cocoa beans are produced in equatorial and sub-equatorial regions of West Africa, Southeast Asia and South America. These are also the regions most affected by El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) -- a climatic anomaly affecting temperature and precipitation in many parts of the world. Thus, ENSO, has a potential of affecting cocoa production and, subsequently, prices on the world market. This study investigates the benefits of using a measure of ENSO variable in world cocoa price forecasting through the application of a smooth transition autoregression (STAR) modeling framework to monthly data to examine potentially nonlinear dynamics of ENSO and cocoa prices. The results indicate that the nonlinear models appear to outperform linear models in terms of...

MODELLING THE DYNAMICS OF PRODUCTION ADJUSTMENT TO SHORT-TERM MARKET SHOCKS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Niemi,   Jarkko K.; Lehtonen,   Heikki.
Models of agricultural economics typically operate at an annual basis or in a static equilibrium framework where inputs, outputs and their prices may change considerably. Production dynamics, however, imply that models relying on spatial and temporal aggregation do not capture the effects of biological constraints in the short run. This paper examines short and long-term impacts of demand and production cost shocks in the pig sector. The analysis is carried out with a dynamic programming model which takes into account changes in export and domestic demand and market clearing price. It optimizes the supply of piglets on a monthly basis. Econometric techniques are used to estimate demand functions. Short-term negative market shocks can already have...

Irrigation development has been identified as a means to stimulate economic growth and rural development in Ethiopia. However, little attempt has been made to quantify the contribution of irrigation to national income. Using data from selected irrigation schemes, representing small, medium and large-scale schemes of modern or traditional typologies; the present coverage and planned growth of irrigation, actual and expected contributions of irrigation to the national economy were quantified following the approach of adjusted gross margin analysis. Our results show that irrigation yields 219.7% higher income compared to the rainfed system while its current and future contribution to agricultural GDP is estimated to be about 5.7 and 12% although irrigation...

PROJECTING WORLD FOOD DEMAND USING ALTERNATIVE DEMAND SYSTEMS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Yu,   Wusheng; Hertel,   Thomas W.; Preckel,   Paul V.; Eales,   James S.
Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models are increasingly being used to project world food markets in order to support forward-looking policy analysis. Such projections hinge critically on the underlying functional form for representing consumer demand. Simple functional forms can lead to unrealistic projections by failing to capture changes in income elasticities of demand. We adopt as our benchmark the recently introduced AIDADS demand system and compare it with several alternative demand systems currently in widespread use in CGE models. This comparison is conducted in the context of projections for disaggregated global food demand using a global CGE model. We find that AIDADS represents a substantial improvement, particularly for the rapidly growing...

Autores: Hinson,   Roger A.; Bruchhaus,   Michael N.
Consumers were surveyed to understand preference in an effort to stabilize acreage and market share in a minor strawberry production area. Preferred attributes were identified using conjoint analysis. Local product was highest in overall relative importance, followed by price, pesticide strategy, and container. Cluster analysis identified groups with similar demographics. For two groups, local product was 77 percent and 67 percent of relative importance; for another group, price was about 75 percent of importance; while the final group was balanced across three attributes. Alignment with consumer preferences and with strategies of local retailers and wholesalers lead to suggested tactics to support local product.

Abstract: We estimate a semi-nonparametric demand system based on a multivariate version of the Muntz-Szatz series expansion which is called the Asymptotically Ideal Model (AIM). The model is applied to consumer demand for dried fruits, raisins, and dried plums. Results from the first and second order AIM expansions suggest that the second order expansion leads to a more economically consistent model, but the likelihood ratio test indicates the AIM(2) model was not a statistical improvement over the AIM(1) model.

A QUEUEING MODEL FOR EGG PRICE DETERMINATION
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Strong,   S.M.; Wolanowski,   A.M.
The determination of the price paid to its suppliers and by its customers is a major task for some marketing authorities. The commodity arrives randomly at the authority's facility and is removed randomly by customers. Between arrival and departure, the commodity awaits processing, is processed (graded, packed), and awaits removal by a customer. It is suggested that this similarity to a queue enables a profit function, dependent on price, to be constructed. Determination of the price maximising this function is seen to be one solution to the price setting problem.

Autores: Roosen,   Jutta.
An econometric model of U.S. apple supply and demand is estimated  using annual data for 1971-1997.  Supply is arranged into four geographical regions, the Northwest, the Southwest, the Central, and the East.  The structural model consists of five components: supply, allocation between fresh and processed utilization, pricing, demand and net imports.  Estimated supply elasticities illustrate regional differences in growers' ability to respond to market changes.

An Experimental Investigation of Consumer Willingness to Pay for Non-GM Foods When an Organic Option Is Present
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bernard,   John C.; Zhang,   Chao; Gifford,   Katie.
This research compared bids that consumers placed on non genetically modified (GM), organic, and conventional versions of food products in order to determine if the organic market well serves those seeking to avoid GM foods. Auction  experiments using potato chips, tortilla chips, and milk chocolate were conducted with 79 subjects. Bids were modeled as a function of consumer demographics using a heteroskedastic tobit regression model. Results with the non-GM attribute nested into the organic characteristic showed that the latter's marginal effects were insignificant. This suggested the potential to further develop non-GM products for consumers not willing to pay extra for the remaining organic attributes.

Natural resource prices: will they ever turn up?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Berck,   Peter; Roberts,   Michael J.
Hotelling's theory predicts that natural resource rents should increase over time. However, technical progress in resource extraction, environmental constraints, or great natural abundance could result in stagnant or declining product prices. Thus, there is no theoretical reason to believe that product prices will rise in the near future. The prediction of product prices by time-series methods is shown to depend critically upon whether the series are modeled as differenced or trend stationary. Dickey-Fuller and Lagrange Multiplier tests are used to show that the series are differenced stationary. Long- and short-sample series are tested. Trend-stationary modeling strongly predicts rising resource prices. The result from differenced-stationary modeling is...

Sales Promotion and Cooperative Retail Pricing Strategies
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Richards,   Timothy J.; Patterson,   Paul M.
Supermarket retailers make strategic pricing decisions in a high-frequency, repeated game environment both in buying and selling fresh produce. In this context, there is some question as to whether a non-cooperative equilibrium can emerge that produces margins above the competitive level. Supermarket pricing results from tacitly collusive equilibria supported by trigger price strategies played in upstream markets. Upstream activities are, in turn, driven by periodic retail price promotions. We test this hypothesis using a sample of fresh produce pricing data from 20 supermarket chains in markets distributed throughout the U.S. Our results support the existence of tacitly collusive non-cooperative equilibria in upstream and downstream markets.

Import Demand for Disaggregated Fresh Fruits in Japan
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Schmitz,   Troy G.; Seale,   James L., Jr.
Using annual Japanese fresh fruit import data from 1971-1997, this study analyzes the import patterns of Japan's seven most popular fresh fruits by implementing and testing a general differential demand system that nests four alternative import demand specifications. When tested against the general system using the five-good case (bananas, grapefruits, oranges, and lemons and aggregating pineapples, berries, and grapes), the analysis rejects the AIDS and NBR specifications, but does not reject Rotterdam and CBS. When estimated using the six-good case (bananas, grapefruits, oranges, lemons, pineapples, and aggregating berries and grapes), the analysis rejects all specifications except the Rotterdam model.

RESTAURANT PRICES AND THE MINIMUM WAGE
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fougere,   Denis; Gautier,   Erwan; Le Bihan,   Herve.
We examine the effect of the minimum wage on restaurant prices. For that purpose, we estimate a price rigidity model by exploiting a unique data set of individual price quotes used to calculate the Consumer Price Index in France. We …find a positive and signifi…cant impact of the minimum wage on prices. We obtain that the effect of the minimum wage on prices is very protracted. The aggregate impact estimated with our model takes more than a year to fully pass through to retail prices.

Does Marginal Price Matter? A Regression Discontinuity Approach to Estimating Water Demand
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Nataraj,   Shanthi; Hanemann,   W. Michael.
Although complex pricing schedules are increasingly common in utility billing, it is difficult to determine whether consumers respond to complicated marginal prices because price changes are often confounded with simultaneous demand shocks or non-price policies. To overcome this challenge, we exploit a natural experiment - the introduction of a third price block in an increasing block pricing schedule for water - in Santa Cruz, California. Using a regression discontinuity design, we find that consumers do respond to changes in marginal price. Doubling marginal price led to a 12% decrease in water use (500 cubic feet per bill) among high-use households.

Food security and poverty in the era of decentralization in Indonesia
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Food security enhancement is one of the main objectives of agricultural development. In Indonesia, agricultural and rural development, such as food security and the reduction of poverty and the number of food-insecure households, is being determined by the changing dynamics of the international economy and the domestic strategic environment. The studies contained in this working paper provide an analysis of the current status and suggest future policy directions for poverty reduction strategies in the context of decentralization in Indonesia. The study was conducted in three parts, they examine the achievement made in rural and agricultural development and poverty alleviation. Part 1 and 2 directly address food security and poverty.

ARCHER DANIELS MIDLAND: PRICE FIXER TO THE WORLD  (Third Edition)
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Connor,   John M.
Both market structure and corporate practices of Archer Daniels Midland fostered the implementation of the largest price-fixing conspiracies seen in modern times. The overcharges imposed on U.S. buyers of lysine and citric acid during 1994-1995 by ADM and its co-conspirators amounted to at least $250 million, and the total amount of public penalties, private damages, and legal costs exceeds $740 million.  Perpetrators of price-fixing now face monetary exposures that are five times the amount of the harm caused to buyers.  These events have spurred renewed attention by U.S. antitrust authorities in prosecuting international cartels.

MARKET IMPACTS OF BOVINE SOMATROPIN: A SUPPLY AND DEMAND ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kaiser,   Harry M.
The potential economic impacts of the introduction of bovine somatotropin (bST) on U.S. milk supply and demand are analyzed using a national model of Class I and Class II milk markets.  The results indicate that the introduction of bST will lead to lower milk prices, higher milk production, and larger government purchases of dairy products.  Unlike previous economic analyses of bST, this analysis considers both supply and demand effects of bST.  The implication is that studies that ignore potential demand-side effects may produce misleading results.

Estimating consumer surplus and elasticity of demand of tourist visitation to a region in North Queensland using contingent valuation
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Greiner,   Romy; Rolfe,   John.
The Daintree Rainforest is a prime attraction for Tropical North Queensland as a tourist destination. Visitation of the rainforest, specifically the Cape Tribulation section, has increased rapidly as impediments to self-drive access have been removed. This paper examines the potential for the local council to manage the volume of self-drive access to the Cape Tribulation region by price mechanisms. The assessment is based on estimates of willingness to pay from a contingent valuation survey of self-drive tourists to the region, from which estimates of consumer surplus and demand elasticity are derived. A comprehensive discussion of the social and economic implications and transaction costs of price-based mechanisms is offered.

Autores: Cheng,   Hsiang-Tai; Peavey,   Stephanie R.; Kezis,   Alan S.
The wild blueberry crop harvested in Maine and eastern Canada has increased considerably in recent years. The purpose of this study is to understand the recent trends in demand for wild blueberries with particular attention to the effects of production and the marketing of wild and cultivated blueberries. A price response model was developed to analyze farm-gate price and the processor price, using annual data from 1978 through 1997. Key explanatory variables in the model include quantity of wild blueberries, real per capita disposable income, the quantity of processed cultivated blueberries, and carry-over stocks of frozen blueberries.

Forecasting Demand for Rural Electric Cooperative Call Center
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kim,   Taeyoon; Kenkel,   Philip L.; Brorsen,   B. Wade.
This research forecasts peak call volume to allow a centralized call center to minimize staffing costs. A Gaussian copula is used to capture the dependence among nonnormal distributions. Peak call volume can be easily and more accurately predicted using the marginal probability distribution with the copula function than without using a copula. The modeling approach allows simulating adding another cooperative. Ignoring the dependence that the copula includes, causes peak values to be underestimated.

Strategies to Promote Market-Oriented Smallholder Agriculture in Developing Countries: A Case of Kenya
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Omiti,   John M.; Otieno,   David Jakinda; McCullough,   Ellen B.; Nyanamba,   Timothy O.
Smallholder Agriculture is key to livelihoods of many rural households in developing and transition economies. In Kenya, small farms account for over 75% of total agricultural production and nearly 50% of the marketed output. Despite favourable trends in global development drivers such as rising population, per capita incomes and emerging urban dietary preferences, most smallholder farmers remain poor. This study sought to characterize agricultural commercialization trends, identify and prioritize constraints to participation in markets, analyse determinants of percentage of output sold, and explore strategies to promote market-oriented production. A participatory Rapid Rural Appraisal approach, household survey and a Truncated Regression model were used....

Testing For Seasonal Cointegration and Error Correction: The U.S. Pecan Price-Inventory Relationship
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ibrahim,   Mohammed; Florkowski,   Wojciech J.
Using time series data we examine behavior of pecan prices and inventories at zero and seasonal frequencies, given results of seasonal cointegration tests. Both, seasonally unadjusted and adjusted quarterly data are used (1991-2002). Results suggest that, first, shelled and total pecan inventories and shelled pecan prices have common unit roots at both the non-seasonal and seasonal frequencies; second, there is no long run equilibrium between pecan prices and shelled or total inventories when unadjusted data are used. Finally, the speed of adjustments suggests pecan prices adjust to shocks in inventories and not the vice versa.

Stability of price premiums for wool
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chang,   Hui-Shung (Christie).
The objective of this study was to determine whether long-run relationships existed between price premiums for wools with different fibre diameters. Based on cointegration analysis using monthly data from 1976.8 to 1999.10, the results showed that price premiums, in relative price terms, for fibre diameters between 19 and 23 micron were cointegrated. Furthermore, the price premiums for 19, 20 and 21 micron were found to be weakly exogenous. The latter result suggested that price premiums for finer wools tended to be more stable, compared with coarser wools which appeared to bear the burden of price adjustments. The implication is that wool producers would enjoy more stable prices, and hence income, by focusing on finer wools.

AN ADAPTIVE MODEL OF PERISHABLE INVENTORY DISSIPATION IN A NONSTATIONARY PRICE ENVIRONMENT
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Vukina,   Tomislav; Anderson,   James L.
The paper develops an adaptive model of perishable commodity dissipation based on the individual's price expectations and risk perception.  A two-step, state-space procedure for modeling nonstationary time series is presented.  The method combines an impulse response model for estimating deterministic components with an innovations model for the remaining stationary stochastic noise.  Combined parameters are used to generate forecasts and to derive a measure of risk in a nonstationary price environment.  Defined as the variance (covariance) of out-of-sample forecast error, the measure of risk is the difference between the historical estimate of the stationary noise auto-covariance and the variance (covariance) of out-of-sample forecasts.  The optimal...

Farmer Forward Pricing Behavior: Evidence from Marketing Clubs
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: McNew,   Kevin; Musser,   Wesley N.
Numerous studies have investigated how farmers should use forward pricing markets, but only limited research exists on how farmers actually use these markets. This study relies on data from a real-time forward pricing game employed by Maryland grain marketing clubs from 1994 through 1998. Hypotheses are tested regarding the consistency of farmer behavior with the research literature on hedging. Findings indicate that farmers do not achieve price enhancement, a result consistent with the efficient market hypothesis. However, pricing behavior does not conform to the implications of efficient market models in a number of respects, suggesting farmers may form different expectations than those conveyed by forward prices.

The improvement in income in developing countries has led to emergence of middle and high income consumers in urban centers. Improvement in income usually causes the shift to consumption of non-staples including leafy vegetables. Thus in major developing country urban centers there has been rapid expansion of the grocery sections featuring leafy vegetables in leading retail stores. Specialty stores have also emerged featuring broad range vegetables. Many middle and high income consumers shop these stores. This study examines the willing of the middle and high income consumers who shop specialized stores to pay for quality of leafy vegetables and drivers of willingness to pay for quality.

This paper analyzes the effect that potential future availability of information has on willingness to pay in a contingent market characterized by uncertainty and irreversibility. In particular, I test whether the effect is consistent with the predictions of Zhao and Kling's (forthcoming) theory of commitment cost. The analysis is performed using the results of a contingent valuation study designed to estimate the degree to which local residents value improved water quality in Clear Lake, a spring-fed, glacial lake located in north-central Iowa. The results show that willingness to pay is highly sensitive to the potential for future learning.

Pecan production, stocks, trade and prices are described.  Data on tree nuts believed to compete with pecans are also presented.  Pecan production and prices became more volatile in the early 1990's.  Prices reached exceptionally high levels during five of the six years 1990-1995.  US pecan imports have increased significantly since the mid-1980's and clearly exceed exports.  Production, cold storage stocks, and inflation explained most of the year-to-year changes in season average pecan price levels in recent years.

Australian demand for meat and beef equations are estimated using a generalised functional form developed by Box and Cox. On the surface, results do not allow rejection of the usual double-log specification commonly used, but possible reasons for this are suggested. More encouraging is that estimated income elasticities for beef are seen generally to decline over the sample period, a result more in line with a priori expectations. Finally, possible extensions of our work are suggested.

Optimal Grain Marketing Revisited: A German and Polish Perspective
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Loy,   Jens-Peter; Pieniadz,   Agata.
Increasing grain price volatility over the last year has revived the discussion on optimal marketing strategies. Various models of optimal grain marketing have been proposed and simulated in the literature. In this study an overview on these models is presented and critical aspects are discussed. Optimal strategies are then applied to the wheat market in Germany and Poland. Results indicate that gains from optimal marketing are rather small and uncertain in the real world, indicating that scientific assistance might be of limited importance. However, an understanding of optimization and price generating processes is likely to improve farmers’ decisions, e.g. if farmers have additional (private) information to improve price forecasts.

Suggested Methods for Estimating Adult Equivalence Scales
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: McShane,   R.W.
When trying to obtain an estimate of the demand function of households for certain food items, it is often convenient to express the demographic structure (size, age and sex composition) of individual households in terms of so many consumer (e.g. an adult male) equivalents. In many studies such conversions have been made by using adult equivalence scales derived from nutrionists estimates of the consumption requirements of human beings at various ages. However these scales, by their nature, are based on estimates of how much a person of a given age and sex should consume, rather than on how much the same person actually does consume in real life. In an endeavour to overcome this difficulty a method is suggested in this article whereby a scale can be...

SCANNER DATA: NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR DEMAND AND COMPETITIVE STRATEGY ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cotterill,   Ronald W.
This paper reviews prior research by agricultural economists on the demand for food products using scanner data.  Thereafter, a differentiated product's oligopoly model with Bertrand price competition is developed and used to specify brand level demand and oligopoly price reaction equations.  The model has sufficient detail to estimate brand level price elasticities and price response elasticities which in turn can be used to estimate three indices of market power.  The first index estimated is the familiar Rothschild Index.  The paper develops estimates two new indexes, the observed index and the Chamberlin quotient for tacit collusion.  It concludes with comments on how the proposed method for the measurement of market power in a differentiated oligopoly...

THE DEMAND FOR MILK IN AUSTRALIA ESTIMATION OF PRICE AND INCOME EFFECTS FROM THE 1984 HOUSEHOLD EXPENDITURE SURVEY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bewley,   Ronald A.
Cross-sectional data are used to estimate a three-equation generalised addilog demand system (GADS); two equations are used to express the demand for milk by method of sale and a residual equation is used to close the system. It is shown that, as the average budget share of the residual equation approaches unity, the GADS equations for the incomplete system are approximately equivalent to double logarithmic equations. It is  found that aggregate milk demand is relatively insensitive to both price and income, but the degree of substitution between delivered and non-delivered milk is both large and highly significant. A new test for influential data in the system context is developed and it suggests that the reported results are robust to variations in the...

USDA DATA REVISIONS OF CHOICE BEEF PRICES AND PRICE SPREADS: IMPLICATIONS FOR ESTIMATING DEMAND RESPONSES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Marsh,   John M.
Reduced form price equations were estimated to compare market demand responses from two data sources: U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) beef price and price spread data per revisions in 1978 and per revisions in 1990. The latest revisions were necessary to account for changing beef industry technology and product consumption in the 1980s. Results indicate the elasticities of retail and derived demands average about 25 and 17% lower, respectively, when using the 1990 revised data. Trends and lag adjustments played an important role. The analyses suggest careful interpretation of demand responses when time series data lag technology conditions in the market.

The Impact of Changing Retail Services on the Grocery Store Producer Price Index
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Leibtag,   Ephraim S.
This article focuses on quality adjustment of the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI)  for retail food stores. Within the retail trade sector, food stores make up 15.4% of the revenue generated in the sector.  This article outlines methods of quality adjustment and applies a direct adjustment technique to the PPI for grocery stores.  This subset of the PPI is unique in that it is one of the first indices for retail goods to use the retail margin (retail price - wholesale price) as a measure of the price of the products sold in a store.  This measure provides an estimate of the prices of the services provided by the retailers.  In this study I find that the Producer Price Index for food stores would be biased upward between 0.06 and 1.74 index points  if a...

Forecasting Organic Food Prices: Testing and Evaluating Conditional Predictive Ability
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Park,   Timothy A.; Gubanova,   Tatiana; Lohr,   Luanne; Escalante,   Cesar L.
Organic farmers, wholesalers, and retailers need reliable price forecasts to improve their decision- making practices. This paper presents a methodology and protocol to select the best-performing method from several time and frequency domain candidates. Weekly farmgate prices for organic fresh produce are used. Forecasting methods are evaluated on the basis of an aggregate accuracy measure and several out-of-sample predictive ability tests. Combining forecasts to improve on individual forecasts is investigated.

Evaluating the Dynamic Nature of Market Risk
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hubbs,   Todd; Kuethe,   Todd H.; Baker,   Timothy G.
This study examines the systematic risk present in major crops for the United States and three corn-belt states. An index of commodities is used in conjunction with cash receipts to generate dynamic estimates of the systematic risk for each crop and state. In our study, we find that beta estimates from a time varying parameter model (FLS) and OLS formulation are substantially different. From our graphs of betas over time, one gains insight into the changing nature of risk and the impact of institutional and macroeconomic events. Systematic risk is shown to increase for most crops over the analyzed period with significant changes in volatility after the collapse of the Bretton Woods Accord.

IS THE EU SUGAR POLICY REFORM LIKELY TO INCREASE OBESITY?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bonnet,   Céline; Requillart,   Vincent.
National Health authorities recommend a decrease in the consumption of ’added’ sugar. At the same moment, a reform of the Common Organisation of the Sugar Market will lead to a decrease by more than 30% of the sugar price in the EU. Using the example of the soft drink industry, this paper investigates the impact of that reform on the consumption of sugar sweetened beverages. Because the soft drink industry as well as the retail industry are both highly concentrated, using structural econometrics model, we first estimate models of vertical relationships between the beverage industry and the retail industry. After selecting the ’best’ model of vertical relationships, we then simulate the impact of the decrease in sugar price on prices and consumption for...

Taxing Sweets: Sweetener Input Tax or Final Consumption Tax?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Miao,   Zhen; Beghin,   John C.; Jensen,   Helen H.
In order to reduce obesity and associated costs, policymakers are considering various policies, including taxes, to change consumers’ high-calorie consumption habits. We investigate two tax policies aimed at reducing added sweetener consumption. Both a consumption tax on sweet goods and a sweetener input tax can reach the same policy target of reducing added sweetener consumption. Both tax instruments are regressive, but the associated surplus losses are limited. The tax on sweetener inputs targets sweeteners directly and causes about five times less surplus loss than the final consumption tax. Previous analyses have overlooked this important point.

ESTIMATION OF CENSORED LA/AIDS MODEL WITH ENDOGENOUS UNIT VALUES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dong,   Diansheng; Kaiser,   Harry M.; Myrland,   Oystein.
In this study, we develop and estimate a censored LA/AIDS model using household-level purchase data. In addition to imposing non-negativitity constraints, we account for the endogeneity of unit value. We address the non-negativity issue using an Amemiya-Tobin approach, which imposes the adding-up condition on both observed and latent shares. We address the endogeneity of unit value by estimating share equations and unit value equations simultaneously. Given the need to evaluate high-order probability integrals, we use a simulated probability method in the model estimation. This model is applied to estimate and analyze a demand system featuring six fish and three meat commodities, using Norwegian household data.

THE VALUE OF DAIRY QUOTA UNDER A COMMERCIAL EXPORT MILK PROGRAM
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Turvey,   Calum G.; Weersink,   Alfons; Martin,   Craig.
This paper argues that under a commercial export milk program the market value of quota will be determined by the spread between the domestic market price and the export price rather than the conventional wisdom that it is determined by the spread between the domestic milk price and the marginal cost of production.  Under this new economy it was argued that ultimately the market price of dairy quota will be priced independently of firm marginal costs, which implies that low cost (or high margin) producers will not hold an economic advantage in bidding for quota over higher cost producers.  Regression results are consistent with the hypothesized positive relationship between quota value and the difference between domestic and export milk price.  The average...

Changing Consumer Food Prices: A User's Guide to ERS Analyses
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Reed,   Albert J.; Hanson,   Kenneth; Elitzak,   Howard; Schluter,   Gerald E.
USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS) uses different economic models to estimate the impact of higher input prices on consumer food prices. The present study compares three ERS models. In the first two models, neither consumers nor food producers respond to market prices. We refer to these two models as short-run models. In the third model, both consumers and food producers respond to changing prices, and we refer to this model as a long-run model. Given published parameter estimates, we simulate the impact of a higher energy price on consumer food prices, and our empirical findings are consistent with our understanding of market responses. In the short run, we find that the full effect of an increase in the price of energy is fully (or nearly fully)...

Revenue Risk Reduction Impacts of Crop Insurance in a Multi-Crop Framework
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Woodard,   Joshua D.; Sherrick,   Bruce J.; Schnitkey,   Gary D.
This study develops a multi-crop insurance model which is employed to evaluate crop insurance decisions when several crops are produced jointly. The results suggest that the diversification effects derived from producing multiple crops can substantially alter the risk reduction impacts of crop insurance versus if the decision is viewed from the perspective of a single crop. Further, the relatedness of crop production and price responses among crops differs considerably across insurance products and strategies. As a result, insurance strategies that might provide the maximum risk reduction for an individual crop do not necessarily carry over to the multi-crop case.

QUALITY GRADING IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN: THE CASE OF VEGETABLES IN SOUTHERN PHILIPPINES1
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Digal,   Larry N.; Hualda,   Luis.
This paper examines the role of quality grades or standards in the supply chain. A model is employed which shows that quality grading provides information that lower search cost of buyers. Thus, when such standards are inadequate, information is distorted which results to asymmetric price transmission. The model is applied in the vegetable industry in Southern Philippines using primary and secondary data. A price asymmetry marketing margin model is estimated using secondary data for cabbage and onion. Results show that price transmission is symmetric for cabbage and asymmetric for onion. Asymmetry in price transmission implies that marketing information are not effectively transmitted in the food chain and that establishing quality grades or standards is...

Autores: Abele,   Steffen; Twine,   Edgar; Ntawuruhunga,   Pheneas; Baguma,   Yonah; Kanobe,   Charles; Bua,   Anthony.
The transition out of extreme poverty and hunger in agrarian economies requires an understanding of how new agricultural technologies are adopted by poor farmers. In Uganda, improved germplasm from the cassava breeding program has generated new varieties that are increasingly being grown by farmers. Although considerable success has been achieved in adoption of these varieties in general, there is increasing pressure on breeding and technology dissemination programs to improve the targeting of their efforts. This paper identifies the specific cassava varieties adopted thus far and their desirable and undesirable attributes. In addition, it determines the adoption rates of these varieties and the factors that have influenced the speed of adoption of the...

Who Has Time To Cook?  How Family Resources Influence Food Preparation
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mancino,   Lisa; Newman,   Constance.
Households participating in the Food Stamp Program are increasingly headed by a single parent or two working parents. As this trend continues, more low-income households may find it difficult to allocate the time needed to prepare meals that fit within a limited budget and meet dietary requirements. Using Tobit analysis of the 2003-04 American Time Use Survey (ATUS), this study finds that household time resources significantly affect how much time is allocated to preparing food. In fact, working full-time and being a single parent appear to have a larger impact on time allocated to food preparation than an individual’s earnings or household income do. The results are relevant for the design of food assistance programs as well as for improving our...

Price Stickiness in Ss Models: New Interpretations of Old Results
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Caballero,   Ricardo J.; Engel,   Eduardo M.R.A.
What is the relation between infrequent price adjustment and the dynamic response of the aggregate price level to monetary shocks? The answer to this question ranges from a one-to-one link (Calvo, 1983) to no connection whatsoever (Caplin and Spulber, 1987). The purpose of this paper is to provide a unified framework to understand the mechanisms behind this wide range of results. In doing so, we propose new interpretations of key results in this area, which in turn suggest the kind of Ss model that is likely to generate substantial price rigidity. The first result we revisit is Caplin and Spulber's monetary neutrality model. We show that when price stickiness is measured in terms of the impulse response function, this result is not a consequence of...

Hired hooves: Transactions in a south Indian village factor market
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mueller,   Rolf A.E.; Prescott,   Edward S.; Sumner,   Daniel A.
Bullocks are an important resource in Indian agriculture where they are used as draft animals. Previous research suggests that farmers who do not own bullocks, or own bullocks in insufficient numbers relative to their land holdings, adjust bullock‐land ratios through transactions in the land market, rather than by hiring bullock services. The reasons given for this behaviour are that there are ‘inhibited’ or ‘missing’ village markets for bullock services. Results from a survey of the activities and transactions of six bullock contractors during an entire cropping period show that village markets for bullock services exist continuously and are far from being inhibited. Close monitoring of the bullock contractors’ transactions supplied rich evidence of the...

What Influences Consumer Choice of Fresh Produce Purchase Location?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bond,   Jennifer Keeling; Thilmany,   Dawn D.; Bond,   Craig A.
There is evidence that consumers are increasingly purchasing food directly from local producers, but little is understood about which market-specific, intrinsic, extrinsic, and demographic attributes influence the probability of preferring to purchase fresh produce through direct-market channels. A multinomial logit model is used to analyze a national dataset of fresh produce consumers with a focus on exploring differences among those that prefer to purchase direct always, occasionally (seasonally and as a secondary source), and never. Results suggest that to increase patronage and loyalty of current customers, producers may emphasize the availability of fresh, superior, vitamin-rich, and locally-grown produce at market locations through booth displays,...

The making of projections often requires an economy-wide perspective, and the estimation of consumer demands at the international level. In this paper, an implicit, directly additive demand system (AIDADS) is estimated using cross-country data on consumer expenditures from the International Comparison Program (ICP), and then from Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) data. The two data sets are found to produce results that are quite consistent despite their differing origins, and the fact that the former is based on consumer goods that embody wholesale/retail margins, while margin demands are treated separately in GTAP. Given the similarity of the results, the estimation based on GTAP data is favored because it is readily matched to input-output based...

Autores: Urcola,   Hernan A.; Irwin,   Scott H.
This article tests the efficiency of the hog options market and assesses the impact of the 1996 contract redesign on efficiency. We find that the hog options market is efficient, but some options yielded excess returns during the live hogs period but not during the lean hogs period. Our findings indicate that the hog options market is efficient and is consistent with the new contract improving the efficiency of the market. However, other market conditions such as lower transaction costs during the lean hogs period can also contribute to reduce expected option returns during the latter period.

Autores: Connor,   John M.
Both market structure and corporate practices of Archer Daniels Midland fostered the implementation of the largest price- fixing conspiracies seen in modern times.  These events have spurred renewed attention by U.S. antitrust authorities in prosecuting international cartels.  The overcharges imposed on buyers of lysine and citric acid during 1994-1995 by ADM and its co-conspirators amounted to at least $200 million, and the total amount of public penalties, private damages, and legal costs exceeds $500 million. Perpetrators of price-fixing now face monetary exposures that are five times the amount of the harm caused to buyers.

Facilitating healthy eating among young people, particularly among minorities who are at high risk for gaining excess weight, is at the forefront of current policy discussions and food program reviews. We investigate the effects of social interactions and relative prices on fruit and vegetable consumption by African American youths using rich behavioral data from the Family and Community Health Study and area-specific food prices. We find the presence of endogenous effects between a youth and parent, but not between a youth and friend. Lower relative prices of fruits and vegetables tend to increase intakes. Results suggest that health interventions targeting a family member may be an effective way to increase fruit and vegetable intake by African Americans...

FRACTAL GEOMETRY IN AGRICULTURAL CASH PRICE DYNAMICS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jin,   Hyun Joung; Frechette,   Darren L.
Agricultural prices are determined by natural and socio-economic factors that are known to be self-similar at different time scales and to follow non-periodic cyclical patterns.  These properties are most easily understood using Mandelbrot's fractal geometry, in which a jagged time series is treated as a jagged coastline or any other natural phenomenon.  The fractal market hypothesis provides the theory needed to explain why fractal structure exists in agricultural prices.  Empirical evidence confirms theoretical  predictions.

The analysis is based on the GfK Consumer Scan Scanner panel dataset on food purchases of German households covering a sample period of four years from 2004 to 2007. A two-step estimation procedure is applied. First, a probit regression examines which household characteristics affect the probability to buy organic milk. Second, a fixed-effects panel regression determines factors that have an impact on the quantity...

Long-Run Relationship of U.S. and Argentine Maize Prices
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ghoshray,   Atanu.
This paper examines the relationship between the maize export prices of the United States and Argentina. The results suggest an asymmetric nature of price adjustment. This could be due to the fact that the maize market is characterized by significant concentration. The larger market share of exports by the United States reflects the influences on export price dynamics. The structure of maize trade is such that U.S. markets are largely insulated from influences flowing from Argentina, while Argentine maize prices are not insulated from U.S. influences.

AN EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH TO VALUING NEW DIFFERENTIATED PRODUCTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Maynard,   Leigh J.; Hartell,   Jason G.; Meyer,   A. Lee; Hao,   Jianqiang.
An experimental store was created to evaluate initial demand for locally-produced and guaranteed tender steak products as a more realistic alternative to contingent valuation (CV) and dichotomous-choice experimental methods.  Strengths of the approach are incentive compatibility, a realistic consumption set, and a familiar choice environment.  Consumers selected among USDA Choice, premium quality, lean, guaranteed tender, and locally-produced strip steaks.  A double-hurdle count data model indicated initial willingness-to-pay for locally-produced steak comparable to prior CV results, but demand was highly elastic.  Demand for premium quality steak crowded out demand for the guaranteed tender product, contrasting with prior dichotomous-choice experimental...

Economic Aspects of Revenue-Based Commodity Support
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cooper,   Joseph C.
Interest in revenue-based commodity support is evident in the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 (the 2008 Farm Bill), which gives eligible producers the option of participating in the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program in return for reductions and eliminations of payments under more traditional programs. This report examines how the uncertainty in U.S. domestic commodity support payments for corn may differ between traditional-style approaches (defined as price-based payments plus yield-based disaster payments) to support and two revenue-based support scenarios. Variability around the total expected annual payment was found to be lower under revenue-based support, as was the probability of high payments. These results suggest potential...

Using Retail Scanner Data to Assess the Demand for Value-based Ground Meat Products in Canada
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Anders,   Sven M.; Moeser,   Anke.
We apply a set of weekly Nielsen retail scanner data for the period 2006-2007 to estimate consumer demand of value-based ground meat products in the Canadian retail market. Our demand system results indicate that price responses are stronger for organic than for extra lean meat products. Additionally, while rising disposable incomes may shift consumers’ attention and purchases towards extra lean ground meat products, this result does not hold for organic ground beef. Our findings strongly suggest that ground meat demand is affected by traditional meat consumption patterns. Our analysis inform retail managers meat producers about potential market opportunities and expected consumer responses to changing economic determinants of popular retail ground meat...

Segregation of Grain Markets: Consequences for Price Behavior
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: McNew,   Kevin; Smith,   Vincent H.
The introduction of genetically modified grain and oilseed products at the farm level and resistance for these products by consumer groups have led to segmentation in grain markets. This study explores the implications for market price behavior for a segregated soybean market for genetically modified (GM) and non-GM varieties. A stochastic dynamic simulation model of production and storage is solved, and Monte Carlo simulation procedures are used to examine price behavior between GM and non-GM soybeans. The results suggest important differences in price behavior between GM and non-GM soybeans. The results obtained in the model simulations are compared with evidence from the Tokyo Grain Exchange, where non-GM and GM soybean futures contracts have traded...

CONSUMER POTATO DEMAND
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: McCracken,   Vicki A.; Marotz,   Craig C.
Changes in consumer demographics, socioeconomic conditions, lifestyles, food tastes, and health and nutrition concerns have been associated with shifting food purchase patterns. This article focuses on potato purchase decisions and consumption, using a sample of Washington households. The results suggest that potato purchases are affected by factors such as product quality and price but not availability of point-of-purchase information. Reported changes in fresh and processed potato consumption appeared to be related to concerns with health and nutrition and demand for convenience. These findings have implications for the potato industry in developing new products and marketing strategies.

Monetary Impacts and Overshooting of Agricultural Prices in a Transition Economy: The Case of Hungary
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bakucs,   Lajos Zoltan; Ferto,   Imre.
This article examines the impacts of monetary policy on agricultural prices in the Hungarian economy using time series analysis. The empirical results indicate that agricultural prices adjust faster to monetary shocks than industrial prices do, affecting relative agricultural prices in the short run, but strict long-run money neutrality does not hold. We also find that the exchange rate as a flexible sector variable, adjusts faster to temporary shocks than the sticky, industrial prices. This implies that in a case of monetary shocks the agricultural sector associated with flexible changes bears the burden of adjustment vis-à-vis the sectors with sticky changes. These macroeconomic effects are reflected in real agricultural price volatility and the...

THE INFLUENCE OF MICROWAVE OVENS ON THE DEMAND FOR FRESH AND FROZEN POTATOES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Guenthner,   Joseph F.; Lin,   Biing-Hwan; Levi,   Annette E.
Growth in the number of homes with microwave ovens has changed food preferences and preparation methods. The objective of this study was to determine the impact that microwave oven ownership has had on the demand for fresh and frozen potatoes. Using data from the 1970-88 period, demand equations were estimated for fresh potatoes, frozen potatoes in the retail market and frozen potatoes in the food service market.   Results indicate that increases in the percentage of homes that own microwave ovens have shifted demand outward for fresh potatoes but inward for frozen potatoes. If potato processors can develop a microwave frozen French fry that satisfies consumers, microwave ovens could boost the demand for frozen potatoes along with the increase in demand...

Although real-world energy supply systems are subject to stochastic failures, the impacts of proposed regulations affecting these systems have typically been evaluated using non-stochastic models. This paper develops an energy market model that explicitly allows for stochastic failures and demonstrates they play an important, or even dominant, role in determining the market impacts of environmental regulations that tailor product specifications to address local or regional conditions, such as fuel-formulation requirements specific to certain regional markets within the United States. While traditional non-stochastic analyses view the tailoring of regulatory requirements by location as an efficiency-enhancing alternative to a -one size fits all- regulatory...

Asymetric Price Transmission in the Spanish Lamb Sector
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ben Kaabia,   Monia; Gil,   Jose Maria.
This paper aims to investigate the non-linear adjustments of prices between farm and retail prices in the lamb sector in Spain. The methodology used is based on the multivariate approach to specify and estimate a three-regime Threshold Autoregressive Model. Results indicate that in the long-run price transmission is perfect and any supply or demand shocks are fully transmitted along the marketing chain. In the short-run, price adjustments between the farm and the retail levels are asymmetric and are representative of a demand-pull transmission mechanism. On the other hand, retailers benefit from any shock, whether positive or negative, that affects supply or demand conditions.

FED CATTLE SPATIAL TRANSACTIONS PRICE RELATIONSHIPS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Schroeder,   Ted C.
Delineation of geographic markets for fed cattle is essential in monitoring price behavior and determining geographic markets.  This study uses transactions data from 28 U.S. fed cattle slaughter plants to determine the extent of the geographic market for fed cattle. Results indicate a national market for fed cattle with prices across most plants cointegrated.  In addition, price discovery originates predominantly at plants located in Nebraska, and typically one-third of the total price adjustment to spatial integration occurs in one day.

Autores: Bailey,   DeeVon; Peterson,   Monte C.
The number of cattle sold through video auctions has increased dramatically during the past five years. In this study structural differences in pricing between a group of traditional auctions and the nation's largest satellite video cattle auction are examined. A Chow test for structural pricing differences reveals that the influence of lot characteristics, market information, and merchandising strategies on cattle prices are essentially identical at both types of auctions. However, optimal lot size is larger at video auctions than at traditional auctions.

Food Aid, External Trade and Domestic Markets: Implications for Food Security in Darfur
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dorosh,   Paul A.; Subran,   Ludovic.
In the last decade, internal conflict has greatly hindered market transactions across regions of Sudan, especially transactions between Darfur and the Rest of Sudan. Food aid has helped to offset not only the absence of commercial inflows of grain, but also reductions in Darfur’s cereal production. This paper explores the determinants of cereal prices in Sudan utilizing a simple partial equilibrium framework for wheat and sorghum, the country’s two main food staples. We also present econometric evidence on the lack of integration of sorghum markets between Darfur and central Sudan, along with quantitative estimates of the impacts of food aid on market prices in the region. The paper concludes with a discussion of national food policy and the paradox of...

RESUMEN: El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en analizar el proceso de transmisión de precios a lo largo de la cadena comercial en el sector del tomate en España. Para ello se han considerado el precio percibido por el productor y el pagado por el consumidor. El enfoque metodológico adoptado se basa en la estimación de un Vector de Corrección del Error con umbrales. Los resultados indican que, a largo plazo, los dos precios son homogéneos. Sin embargo, en el corto plazo las reacciones de precios, tanto en velocidad como en magnitud, son asimétricas. Es más, los resultados indican que los detallistas se benefician (en el sentido de que son capaces de aumentar el margen comercial) de cualquier shock, ya sea positivo o negativo, que afecte tanto a las...

The dominant trend in U.S. non-alcoholic consumption over the past two decades has been a steady increase in soft-drink consumption, largely at the expense of milk and coffee and tea consumption.  Our analysis suggests that the primary factors affecting this is that the price, advertising, and demographic elasticities estimated from the Rotterdam model are much smaller than the adjusted trend coefficients and the expenditure elasticities.

Estimating Willingness to Pay Using a Polychotomous Choice Function: An Application to Pork Products with Environmental Attributes
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hurley,   Sean P.; Miller,   Douglas J.; Kliebenstein,   James B.
Bid data from a Vickrey auction for pork chops with embedded environmental attributes were analyzed. It was found that approximately 62% of the participants had a positive WTP for the most "environmentally friendly" package of pork. Thirty percent of the participants had no WTP, and 8% had a negative WTP. A polychotomous choice model was used to accommodate data having an anchoring point within the distribution of the data. Standard variables found in the WTP literature coupled with this model were used to predict participants who were premium payers and non-premium payers using an estimated ordered probit equation.

Thoroughbred broodmares are the foundation of a successful racing operation. This study estimated the impact of breeding, racing, genetic, and market characteristics on broodmare auction prices. Data represent 298 broodmares in foal that were sold in Keeneland's 2005 sale. Prices were most responsive to the sire's stud fee and the broodmare's age, with pronounced day-of-sale effects. Overall valuation structure appeared similar to Neibergs' results using 1996 data. Out-of-sample forecasts were far superior to naive forecasts, but were not accurate enough to use in isolation from other decision aids such as visual inspection of the horse.

EFFECT OF GENERIC ADVERTISING ON THE DEMAND FOR FLUID MILK: THE CASE OF THE TEXAS MARKET ORDER
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Schmitz,   John D.
This analysis indicates that generic advertising expenditures, ceteris paribus, generated rightward shifts in demand for fluid milk in the Texas Market Order over the period January 1980 to September 1988. Generally, the results from this study are in agreement with previous research efforts which suggest that generic advertising can increase the demand for fluid milk. Importantly, in this analysis, the impacts of television and radio advertising have been effectively disentangled. Television advertising generates a response that wears off more quickly than radio advertising. Also, the long-run effect of radio advertising is bout 1.75 times greater than the long-run effect of television advertising.

Mexico is the fastest growing market for US dairy exports and it is the largest market for U.S. cheese. The U.S. has always enjoyed a large share of the Mexican cheese market. However, its share growth has been less dynamic than the share of Europe, Oceania and other countries, despite advantages in proximity, shipping costs, and delivery times. We use an Almost Ideal Demand System to estimate own and cross-price elasticities in the Mexican cheese import market to assess the comparative position of the U.S. relative to other cheese market participants.

THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF A FISCAL FOOD POLICY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Salois,   Matthew J.; Tiffin,   J. Richard.
This paper examines the health effects of a fiscal food policy based on a combination of fat taxes and thin subsidies. The fat tax is based on the saturated fat content of food items while the thin subsidy is applied to select fruit and vegetable items. The policy is designed to be revenue neutral so that the subsidy exactly offsets the revenue from the fat tax. A model of food demand is estimated using Bayesian methods that accounts for censoring and infrequency of purchase (the problem of unit values is also discussed). The estimated of demand elasticities are used to compute nutrient elasticities which demonstrate how consumption of specific nutrients changes based on price changes in particular foods from the fiscal policy. Results show that while the...

Consumer valuation of health attributes in food
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Smed,   Sinne; Hansen,   Lars Garn.
In modern societies consumers often face a trade-off between health and taste, the latter which encourages consumption of fatty, salty and sweet foods, whereas health awareness discourages consumption of the same food. The resulting diet, often rich in calories, sweeteners and fat constitutes a threat to public health as poor nutrition has been linked to several types of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis as well as overweight and obesity. In this study we use the hedonic model as an outset to model consumer valuation of nutritional and non-nutritional characteristics of food consumption in a consistent way, accounting for that nutrients might influence utility both through health and through taste. This implies that a given...

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Wildner,   Susanne.
Complete and consistent, i.e. theoretically appropriate demand systems have seldom been developed for Germany. Econometric food demand analyses have concentrated on single products and product groups. Generally, demand functions have been estimated using single equation methods. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the food demand in former West Germany on the basis of the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) developed by DEATON and MUELLBAUER (1980). A two-stage demand system is based on data for the household type III gathered on a monthly basis during the period from 1966 to 1997. At a first stage, five aggregates of food (meats and fish; dairy and eggs; edible fats; cereals, fruits and vegetables; and other foods) and one non-food group are specified....

Symmetry Problem in the Linear AIDS Model: Further Results
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chen,   Kevin Z.
This paper derives a set of linear and nonlinear restrictions to make a n-goods linear AIDS symmetric when all prices are allowed to vary. When prices are scaled by their means, the conventional restrictions are sufficient to make the linear AIDS symmetric at mean. This indicates an additional advantage of scaling prices at their means before estimation. Nevertheless, price-scaling does not produce a globally-symmetric linear AIDS. When prices are measured in natural units, additional nonlinear restrictions are needed to make the linear AIDS globally symmetric. These restrictions can be imposed with relative ease but convert the linear AIDS into the nonlinear one. The significance of the problem was illustrated using both the US and Canada meat consumption...

Consumer incentives to comply with nutritional recommendations – an economic approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dejgaard Jensen,   Jorgen; Hansen,   Aslak H.; Fagt,   Sisse; Velsing Groth,   Margit.
Inappropriate diets have been found to cause long-term health problems in most industrial and post-industrial countries worldwide. Despite the existence of dietary guidelines in many countries – and widespread familiarity with these guidelines – large shares of the populations do not comply with these guidelines. The objective of the paper is to investigate economic explanations for non-compliance quantitatively, focusing on consumers’ perceived value of reduced freedom of choice, if they should comply with the dietary recommendations. The paper establishes and econometric simulation model for Danish food consumers, which is used for calculating these economic welfare losses, as well as the contribution to these losses from individual recommendations....

RESTRICTIONS ON THE EFFECTS OF PREFERENCE VARIABLES IN THE ROTTERDAM MODEL
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Brown,   Mark G.; Lee,   Jonq-Ying.
This study examines imposing and testing restrictions on preference variables in the Rotterdam model through the impacts of these variables on marginal utilities.  An empirical analysis of the impact of a female labor force participation variable in a Rotterdam demand system for fresh fruit illustrates the methodology.  This variable was modeled through its impact on marginal utilities via "adjusted" prices, following theoretical work by Basmann and Barten, among others. Results show that the female labor participation has negatively impacted the demands for citrus, while positively impacting the demands for other fresh fruit.

Impact assessment of trade liberalisation between EU and Mercosur countries
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Weissleder,   Lucie M.; Adenauer,   Marcel; Heckelei,   Thomas.
Ongoing bilateral trade negotiations between the Mercosur group and the EU since 2000 on agricultural products served as incitement to analyse the impacts of possible outcomes. The objective of this paper is to quantitatively assess impacts of bilateral liberalisation scenarios on EU25 and Mercosur markets as well as their bilateral trade flows. For this purpose, the CAPRI model, which has already been applied to several multi- and bilateral trade liberalisation scenarios in the past, has been adopted in several ways. (1) Trading blocks in CAPRI have been expanded so that the Mercosur countries are now represented with country specific behavioural functions and explicit trade flows. (2) The parameters of these behavioural functions have been calibrated...

Public Policies and the Demand for Vegetables
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gustavsen,   Geir Waehler; Rickertsen,   Kyrre.
Increased consumption of vegetables may reduce obesity and the prevalence of cardiac diseases and cancer. Norwegians consume less vegetables than nutrition experts recommend and the per capita consumption is lower than in most European countries. To investigate the causes of low consumption, a two-step approach is used to estimate the demand segmented by nine different household types. In the first step, a probit model is estimated to investigate the decision whether to purchase traditional vegetables, salad vegetables, and industrially processed vegetables. Conditional on purchase, an almost ideal demand model is used to model how much to purchase. The own-price elasticities and total expenditure elasticities are high for traditional and industrially...

STRUCTURE OF THE FRESH ONION MARKET IN THE SPRING SEASON: A FOCUS ON TEXAS AND ITS COMPETITION
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fuller,   Stephen W.; Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Bello,   Haruna; Shafer,   Carl E.
A structural model of the  spring onion economy is developed to analyze forces affecting the onion-producing sector in Texas. Spring onion prices in Texas are influenced by own shipments, shipments from storage stocks, and variety. Texas's decline in market share is largely the result of expanded late summer (storage) onion production. A decline in the U.S. real tariff and a weakening of the real exchange rate (pesos/$) encouraged onion imports from Mexico during the study period. However, this impact was offset by the imposition of quality standards in 1980 and the growth in domestic late summer onion production. Study period results did not support the recent contention of Texas producers that onion imports from Mexico are unfavorably affecting prices...

How Increased Food and Energy Prices Affect Consumer Welfare
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Huang,   Kuo S.; Huang,   Sophia Wu.
We analyze the consumer welfare effects of increased food and energy prices and find that the own-price elasticities of both food and energy are relatively inelastic, which explain well the dynamics of the recent soaring food and energy prices.  The estimated demand elasticities are then used to analyze the consumer welfare effects of price changes in food and energy.  The results indicate that an increase of food and energy prices would incur a substantial consumer welfare loss, which is a heavy burden for low income households.

Derived Demand for Fresh Cheese Products Imported into Japan

Autores: Christou,   Andreas P.; Kilmer,   Richard L.; Stearns,   James A.; Feleke,   Shiferaw T.; Ge,   Jiaoju.
The objective of this article is to estimate the derived demand for imported fresh cheese products into Japan when fresh cheese import data are disaggregated by source country of production. We provide empirical measures of the sensitivity of demand to changes in total imports, own-price, and cross-prices among exporting countries for fresh cheese. Japan's derived demand for U.S. fresh cheese products is perfectly inelastic. Thus, the import demand competition among importing countries should be based upon differences in product characteristics.

An Inverse Almost Ideal Demand System of Fresh Tomatoes in the U.S.
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Grant,   Jason H.; Foster,   Kenneth A.
Previous studies of fresh market tomatoes in the U.S. have focused on the supply side and welfare effects of NAFTA. Very few studies have focused on the demand side, however, because fresh tomatoes do not have any close substitutes. In this study we draw on the fact that Mexican and Canadian fresh tomatoes may be close substitutes to U.S. fresh tomatoes. An Inverse Almost Ideal Demand System of the NAFTA fresh tomato market is estimated where fresh tomatoes differ by country of origin.  The results indicate that NAFTA tomatoes are substitutable but the degree of substitutability varies widely depending on the season. Quantity changes in the U.S. fresh tomato market can result in significant retail price changes. This study has specific policy implications...

The marginal contribution of each of the selected variables was quantified in terms of premiums and discounts and mapped as dynamic iso-price regions that illustrate geographic and seasonal permanent price patterns for feeder cattle, as well as changing market conditions derived from unexpected climate and weather variability. The graphic representation of how price patterns may change with climate variability allows for a better understanding of short term market disequilibrium derived from this type of variability. This may help cattle operators and producers improve farm management and making informed decisions.

WELFARE IMPLICATIONS OF MORE ACCURATE RATIONAL FORECAST PRICES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Freebairn,   John W.
Models are constructed to assess the welfare effects for producers, consumers and society of producers using forecast prices based on more accurate estimates of variables causing shifts in the demand for and supply of commodities. The basic model is a stochastic cobweb model in which producers' forecast price is the rational forecast price. The model is extended for many commodities, for partial producer response to more accurate forecast prices, and to include stock holding. In terms of economic surplus, producers and consumers gain from more accurate estimates of demand shift variables, producers gain and consumers lose from more accurate estimates of supply shift variables, and in both cases there is a net society gain.

This study addresses the complex relationship between energy and agricultural markets—represented by corn, ethanol, and gasoline prices—particularly in light of the growth in biofuel production. Contemporaneous price response and transmission of market shocks are investigated in a simultaneous-equation system to disclose fundamental driving forces before and after the development of large-scale ethanol production. We use a dynamic conditional correlation multivariate GARCH model to demonstrate a strengthening relationship among corn, ethanol, and gasoline prices. We identify a structural change point at March 25, 2008 using the test by Bai and Perron (2003).  The strengthened market relationship is further illustrated by variance decomposition based on a...

THE DEMAND FOR BUTTER, MARGARINE, AND OILS: A NONPARAMETRIC TEST FOR EVIDENCE OF STRUCTURAL CHANGE
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jensen,   Kimberly L.; Bevins,   Scott.
The objective of this study was to determine whether structural change in the demand for butter, margarine, and salad and cooking oils occurred between 1967 and 1986. A nonparametric method, which does not require that a functional form be imposed on the data, was used to test for violations from stable, well-behaved preferences. Violations were found, but they were small in magnitude. Therefore, the results failed to show strong evidence that consumption patterns for butter, margarine, and oils were inconsistent with stable preferences.

THE PATTERN OF AGRICULTURAL PRICE DISTORTIONS IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE, AN UPDATE: 1990-1995
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bojnec,   Stefan; Swinnen,   Johan F.M.
Nominal and adjusted protection rates for nine agricultural commodities in seven Central European and three Baltic states are estimated for the transition period 1990-1995.  Our estimates indicate that agricultural and food price distortions differ strongly between Central and East European countries, between commodities, and varied over time.  The average level of price distortions decreased in 1991 and 1992 after price and trade liberalization, but increased again in 1993 as many of these countries re-introduced protectionist price and trade policy measures.  Since 1994, the average level of price distortions has declined again. Accounting for exchange rate policy effects further reduces estimates of protection of agricultural producers.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Huan-Niemi,   Ellen; Kerkela,   Leena; Lehtonen,   Heikki; Niemi,   Jyrki S.
The objective of this paper is to explore the overall effects of further trade liberalization and the implemented CAP reforms on EU agricultural production, imports and exports within different EU regions by using the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model. The GTAP model is used to compare a lower tariff reduction formula (EU Proposal) with a higher reduction formula (US Proposal) in order to show how sensitive the examined agricultural commodity/sector is to the different tariff reduction formulae. This analysis reveals that EU imports would escalate and EU exports would plummet with declining EU production because of trade liberalization and domestic policy reforms in the EU agricultural markets and sectors.

Mexico is a major destination of dairy exports and is the single largest importer of US dairy exports. We use a restricted source almost ideal demand system to estimate the demand for dairy products imported into Mexico. The estimation facilitates an examination of the demand for dairy imports and the results have implications for exporting firms and countries. Our estimates indicate fierce competition for the Mexican market between the US, Oceania, and “other countries” primarily from South America.

Food products providing health benefits beyond nutrition, or functional foods, draw consumers’ attention and promise growth opportunities for innovator food manufacturers. European functional food manufacturers may be facing future challenges, mainly due to the European Union Regulation (EC) No.1924/2006 regulating food products’ health-claims. However, in spite of the interest shown by academics to understand the acceptance of these products no study exists that analyzes the profitability of functional foods.

What Adds Value in Specialty Coffee? Managerial Implications from Hedonic Price Analysis of Central and South American E-Auctions
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Donnet,   M. Laura; Weatherspoon,   Dave D.; Hoehn,   John P.
We analyze price and quality information at the procurement level in the specialty coffee supply chain using data from small and large volume e-auctions. Hedonic price equations reveal that the Cup of Excellence auction is a more differentiated market disclosing more information about coffee values associated with ratings, rankings, quantities available, and country reputations whereas information in the Q auction is more limited and tends to be remunerated to a lesser extent. These results indicate that there are different business models and valuation of product characteristics within the specialty coffee industry. Management implications are drawn for specialty coffee producers and roasters.

The objective of this study was to determine the impact of bean grain quality characteristics on market price. The data was collected from retail markets in Tanzania. Hedonic pricing provides a statistical estimate of premiums and discounts. Implications for development of bean markets include: i) extension agents should identify cost-effective ways to educate producers on targeting urban market niches based on consumer preferences for varieties, ii) breeding for bruchid resistant beans and use of appropriate storage technologies would alleviate the problems of storage damage, and iii) requiring a portfolio of grain quality characteristics to fit consumer preferences in local markets.

We develop and estimate an integrated discrete choice model system of product choice and nutrition information for prepared frozen meals in the United States in the period from 1993 to 1998, when government regulation of nutrition labeling changed from voluntary to mandatory.  The model links consumer characteristics (e.g., income, knowledge about nutrition, nutrition label use) to product characteristics (e.g., prices, nutritional attributes) and allows us to obtain consumer preference parameters and demand elasticities with regard to product characteristics.  We find that prices, advertising, price reductions, and consumer preferences for taste have a significant effect on the demand for prepared frozen meals, whereas knowledge about nutrition and...

Rather, the contribution is to the developmental and evaluative process involved in considering these techniques. A new econometric model of wool price and supply is also presented, since none of the existing models satisfied the requirements of the study.

SHADOW PRICE IMPLICATIONS OF SEVERAL STOCHASTIC DOMINANCE CRITERIA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: McCamley,   Francis P.; Rudel,   Richard K.
Stochastic dominance criteria can be, but seldom are explicitly, applied to problems having continuous variables.  A previously developed model is modified to facilitate exploration of sets of shadow price vectors for decreasing (non-increasing) absolute risk aversion stochastic dominance (DSD), a combination, TGSD, of third degree stochastic dominance (TSD) and generalized stochastic dominance (GSD) and a combination, DGSD, of DSD and GSD.  The model is illustrated by applying it to two risk efficient (primal) solutions of a problem by Anderson, Dillon and Hardaker.  For each of the two primal solutions and, where relevant, three risk aversion coefficient intervals, selected aspects of the sets of shadow price vectors consistent with TSD, DSD, TGSD and...

Autores: Jeanty,   Pierre Wilner; Haab,   Timothy C.; Hitzhusen,   Frederick J.
The double bounded dichotomous choice format has been proven to improve efficiency in contingent valuation models. However, this format has been criticized due to lack of behavioral and statistical consistencies between the first and the second responses. In this study a split sampling methodology was used to determine whether allowing respondents to express uncertainty in the follow-up question would alleviate such inconsistencies.  Results indicate that allowing respondents to express uncertainty in the follow-up question was effective at reducing both types of inconsistencies while efficiency gain is maintained.

PRICE BARGAINING WITHOUT SUPPLY CONTROL
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kinnucan,   Henry W.
Primary food producers are permitted to bargain as a group for higher prices.  Supply response, however, is critical to the long-run success of producer cartels.  This article presents a model that elucidates that role of supply response in agricultural price bargaining when no overt action is taken to limit quantity and participation in the cartel is voluntary.  Free-riding, for example, is seen as having a dual nature: it undermines the cartel's influence at the negotiating table but it enhances the cartel's ability to sustain a negotiated price increase by attenuating supply response.  That price bargaining can result in significant transfers from processors to producers when demand is inelastic and supply is uncontrolled is highlighted in the empirical...

Mapping the competitive food chain for fresh produce retailers in Tshwane, South Africa
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Madevu,   Hilton; Louw,   Andre; Ndanga,   Leah Z.B.
Although several previous studies have ascertained that smallholder farmers prefer informal markets, a few vertically integrated retail chains increasingly dominate South Africa’s agro-food supply chain. The onset of this trend has led to the demise of a large number of general dealers in favour of the sleek new stores. However, greengrocers and hawkers in the fresh produce market have proven to be resilient to this onslaught. This resilience is of interest to this study. The study used ‘Porter’s forces’ model and chain analysis to structure the research and seeks to describe and analyse the competitive situation by determining the relative competitive and strategic behaviour of retailers and to map the sector’s value flows. The main findings were that...

THE EFFECTS OF MULTIPLE COMPONENT PRICING ON PRODUCERS AND HANDLERS IN THE FEDERAL ORDER NO. 4 MARKETING AREA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Meek,   Kimberly R.
The Federal Milk Marketing Order Program was established in the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 to address the specific marketing problems associated with milk marketing. A supply and demand problem is created due to the daily production process of milk as well as its perishability. Fluid milk cannot be stored for long periods of time, therefore, a continual surplus must be produced in order to assure an adequate supply of fluid milk to meet the day-to-day needs of the consumers.  In order to accomplish this goal, milk orders were created, the scope and terms of which are spelled out in the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act (7 CFR 1000-1199). The general provisions included in all orders are a "classified pricing plan, a system of minimum...

Autores: Alam,   Mohammad Jahangir; Buysse,   Jeroen; Begum,   Ismat Ara; Nolte,   Stephan; Wailes,   Eric J.; Van Huylenbroeck,   Guido.
The paper analyzes the impact of trade liberalization and changes in world prices of agricultural commodities in Bangladesh using single country CGE model. Since the agricultural sector is sensitive to overall employment, household welfare and food security, the analysis focuses on the changes in agricultural production, consumption, household income and welfare. The results show that trade liberalization increases the welfare of all household groups while world market price increases decrease welfare. It means that although trade liberalization generates a welfare increase for households but this is dependent on the relative level of world commodity prices. Our results are based on the analysis of aggregate household groups, so it may be of future...

Autores: Muhammad,   Andrew.
Given the importance of the Imports for Re-exports Program in (IREP) in Canada, this study assessed the impact of per-unit export returns on Canadian demand for imported cheese. If Canadian importers increase utilization of IREP, U.S. exports to Canada will remain unchanged while imports from the EU will increase.

This paper reports on the development of autoregressive-integrated-moving-average (ARIMA) forecasting models for selected cattle price series and the nearby live cattle futures price.  The ARIMA models are fitted to weekly data by employing the Box-Jenkins time series modeling procedure. Relatively accurate short-run forecasts are obtained with the estimated models, with the Midwest price models performing better than Northwest price models, and the nearby futures model being considerably more accurate for longer forecasting horizons.

Demand for Organic Milk Products in Portugal
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Rosa,   Rui; Briz,   Julian; Mili,   Samir.
Milk consumption patterns are changing in Portugal. Factors like convenience, quality and safety increasingly constitute the basis for the Portuguese consumer purchasing decision. Demand for organic milk products (OMP) is emerging while most of these products are supplied by foreign companies. This study explores the demand for OMP in Portugal using both direct market observation and multivariate methods, in particular factor and cluster analysis. It appears that there are specific emerging segments preferring OMP, as they are increasingly concerned by health attributes and environmental protection.

FACTORS AFFECTING U.S. DEMAND FOR REDUCED-FAT FLUID MILK
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gould,   Brian W.
U.S. fluid milk consumption has changed dramatically since the early 1970s. Whole milk accounted for over 81% of commercial fluid milk disappearance in 1970. By 1993, this percentage was less than 39%. A three-equation fluid milk demand system is estimated for fluid milks that vary by fat content. The household panel data set used includes over 4,300 households that recorded fluid milk purchased for at-home consumption over a 12-month period. Given that many of these households did not consume one or more of the three milk types, the econometric model explicitly incorporates the censored nature of these commodity demands. Own- and cross-price and substitution estimated along with effects of household demographic characteristics.

IMPACTS OF ADVERTISING, ATTITUDES, LIFESTYLES, AND HEALTH ON THE DEMAND FOR U.S. PORK: A MICRO-LEVEL ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Park,   Jaehong.
Using datat from the 1994-1996 CSFII/DHKS, we identify and assess factors affecting the decision to consume pork and conditional on consuming pork, the decision of the amount of pork intake.  Branded and generic advertising of pork play a prominent role in both decisions.  Beef advertising, however, does not significantly affect either the probability of consuming pork or the amount of pork intake.  Key health, attitudinal and lifestyle factors are smoking status, dietary status, body mass index, the importance of nutrition in buying food, and trimming visible fat from meat.  These factors however impact the probability of consuming pork rather than the amount of pork consumed.  Region, urbanization, race, age, income, and seasonality also affect pork...

THE MISSING INCOME PROBLEM IN THE ANALYSES OF ENGEL FUNCTIONS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Cheng,   Hsiang-Tai.
The empirical evidence from the extant literature in demand analysis points to the importance of income in food expenditure relationships.  However, roughly 30 percent of all households in the 1977-78 Nationwide Food Consumption Survey do not report income figures.  The focus of this paper is on the missing income problem in analyses of Engel functions.  This analysis statistically links particular demographic attributes in affecting the probability of reporting income information.  Additionally, several techniques to overcome the missing income problem, namely, regression imputation, the Heckman procedure, and item deletion, are discussed.  Empirical evidence suggests that the Heckman procedure is statistically superior to item deletion, and that...

An inverse live hog demand model was estimated to analyze claims that the live hog own quantity demand flexibility's magnitude has increased in recent years. A second objective of this research was to estimate the impact changes in processing capacity utilization rates have on live hog prices. Iowa - Southern Minnesota barrow and gilt price was modeled as a function of average daily hog slaughter, a processing capacity utilization ratio, an index of processing and marketing costs, a retail demand shift index, pork cold storage stocks, and monthly binary variables. Results indicate that in recent years live hog prices have become more responsive to changes in hog slaughter. Additionally, changes in processing capacity utilization rates, at times, also have...

Polarized Preferences In Homegrown Value Auctions
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hurley,   Terrance M.; Yue,   Chengyan; Anderson,   Neil O.
Incentive compatible auction experiments, often referred to as homegrown value auctions, have become a popular tool for exploring how controversial product attributes and knowledge of these attributes affect consumer willingness to pay.  A common observation in these experiments is a prevalence of zero bids and bimodal bid distributions.  One possible explanation is that individuals have polarized preferences: find all products with a particular attribute desirable (positive polarization) or undesirable (negative polarization).  The purpose of this paper is to explore three questions.  Do polarized preferences exist?  If they do exist, can they be identified?  If they can be identified, does their identification provide useful information?  To answer these...

The Estimation of Food Demand Elasticities in Canada
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Pomboza,   Ruth; Mbaga,   Msafiri Daudi.
Changing consumer and market demands is an important driver behind the challenges and opportunities that are facing the agriculture and agri-food sector in Canada and that will influence the sector's profitability and competitiveness in the future. It is therefore important to understand developments in the consumer demand for agriculture and agri-food products. The report provides updated demand elasticities for fourteen food groups in Canada. The estimates are useful for conducting analysis of the changing structure of the agriculture and agri-food sector and can help quantify the impacts that changes in economic variables and policies that impact those economic variables might have.

This paper has analysed the import demand for virgin olive oil in the EU and more precisely in the Italian market, as it concentrates more than 80% of EU imports, aiming to determine the relative position of Mediterranean EU and non-EU countries exports and their degree of substitutability or complementarity. The methodology used is based on the specification of a Threshold Almost Ideal Demand System in which special attention has been paid to the stochastic properties of the series involved. In an empirical context, the paper has aimed to provide a set of import demand elasticities that can be useful in trade models. Results point to Spain as the leader in the Italian virgin olive oil market. It is expected that this position will be maintained in the...

Consumer Preferences for Amount and Type of Fat in Ground Beef
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lusk,   Jayson L.; Parker,   Natalie.
Scientists and beef industry participants are investigating ways to improve the healthiness of beef. We report results of a nationwide mail survey developed to determine consumers’ preferences for fat content in ground beef and identify how consumers would most like to improve the healthiness of beef. The results from a choice-based conjoint experiment indicate that consumers place significant value on reducing saturated fat and the Omega 6:3 ratio in ground beef, but were relatively unconcerned about conjugated linoleic acid. The relatively new method of best-worst scaling was used to further identify which methods consumers most preferred producers use to improve fat content in beef. The results indicate consumers preferred feeding cattle a grass-fed...

The Impact of Ethanol Production on U.S. and Regional Gasoline Prices and on the Profitability of the U.S. Oil Refinery Industry
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Du,   Xiaodong; Hayes,   Dermot J.
Using pooled regional time-series data and panel data estimation, we quantify the impact of monthly ethanol production on monthly retail regular gasoline prices. This analysis suggests that the growth in ethanol production has caused retail gasoline prices to be $0.29 to $0.40 per gallon lower than would otherwise have been the case. The analysis shows that the negative impact of ethanol on gasoline prices varies considerably across regions. The Midwest region has the biggest impact, at $0.39/gallon, while the Rocky Mountain region had the smallest impact, at $0.17/gallon. The results also indicate that ethanol production has significantly reduced the profit margin of the oil refinery industry. The results are robust with respect to alternative model...

Autores: Saha,   Bishnu; Mitura,   Verna.
This study investigates the dynamics of price transmission between the Canadian beef markets along the supply chain and the impact of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) on prices. Retail price models are estimated for the provinces accounting for the major share of national demand, while farm price models are estimated for the beef cattle producing provinces. A model for the processing level is also estimated with national industrial prices of beef and provincial farm prices of beef cattle.  The results indicate that retail beef prices in the major consuming provinces adjust either faster or at a greater magnitude to increases in industrial prices than to decreases. Furthermore, industrial prices adjust faster and at a greater magnitude in response to...

Cross-Sector Relationships Between the Corn Feed Grains and Livestock and Poultry Economies
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Marsh,   John M.
A systems econometric model of the livestock (beef and pork), poultry (broiler), and corn sectors was estimated to evaluate cross-sector relationships. The equilibrium multipliers and comparative statics indicate unequal cross-effect of market disturbances, e.g., shocks in the livestock and poultry markets impact corn demand and supply more than shocks in the corn market impact livestock and poultry demands and supplies. Recent 2003 mad cow disease (BSE) problems in Canada and the United States display nontrivial cross-effects. For example, the BSE occurrences reduce real corn revenue in the United States by $0.62 billion, or 5.0% of its 2003 revenue.

Autores: Kazmierczak,   Richard F., Jr.; Zapata,   Hector O.; Diop,   Hamady.
Octopus exports are an important source of foreign exchange for Mauritania. The export market has historically been dominated by coordinated Japanese buyers, a situation that led Mauritania to create the Societe Mauritanienne de Commercialisation de Poisson (SMCP) to negotiate with buyers and manage all octopus exports. Issues concerning competitiveness, price discrimination, and exchange rate pass-through in the Mauritanian octopus export market corrected for contemporaneous and serial correlation. Results indicate some degree of price discrimination across destination markets, market share enhancement through local currency price stabilization, and increases in marginal costs of production following nationalization of the Mauritanian trawler fleet.

The demand for electricity in the residential sector is estimated to have become less elastic for the recent period of rising real prices as compared to earlier periods of stable or falling real price.  Several possible reasons for this are investigated and we conclude that demand appears to be asymmetric with respect to price in both the short and long run.  We then examine whether or not this is an important factor for forecast accuracy and public policy.

With 16 years of daily lumber futures prices, we study the effects of different types of information releases: (1) monthly housing starts estimates, (2) aperiodic administrative and judicial announcements about U.S.-Canada trade disputes, and (3) novel and unprecedented court decisions related to the Endangered Species Act (ESA).  The information releases are different in ways that predict their relative speeds of impoundment in prices.  We test the predictions using a new event study methodology appropriate to relatively slowly evolving information events.  We find that housing starts are absorbed more quickly than trade events, which are absorbed more quickly than ESA events.

Autores: Sennoga,   Edward B.; Matovu,   John Mary.
The paper examines the interrelationships between public spending composition and Uganda's development goals including economic growth and poverty reduction. We utilize a dynamic CGE model to study these interrelationships. This paper demonstrates that public spending composition does indeed influence economic growth and poverty reduction. In particular, this study shows that improved public sector efficiency coupled with re-allocation of public expenditure away from the unproductive sectors such as public administration and security to the productive sectors including agriculture, energy, water and health leads to higher GDP growth rates and accelerates poverty reduction. Moreover, the rate of poverty is faster in rural households relative to the urban...

Prices vs. Quantities Revisited: The Case of Climate Change
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Pizer,   William A.
Uncertainty about compliance costs causes otherwise equivalent price and quantity controls to behave differently. Price controls - in the form of taxes - fix the marginal cost of compliance and lead to uncertain levels of compliance. Meanwhile quantity controls - in the form of tradable permits or quotas - fix the level of compliance but result in uncertain marginal costs. This fundamental difference in the face of cost uncertainty leads to different welfare outcomes for the two policy instruments. Seminal work by Weitzman (1974) clarified this point and derived theoretical conditions under which one policy is preferred to the other. This paper applies this principal to the issue of worldwide greenhouse gas (GHG) control, using a global integrated climate...

Will consumers pay less for fat on beef cuts? The case in Bloemfontein, South Africa
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Shongwe,   M.A.; Jooste,   Andre; Hugo,   A.; Alemu,   Zerihun Gudeta; Pelser,   A.
There is increasing evidence that most of the fear expressed by consumers in terms of the link between cholesterol in the diet and heart disease is, amongst others, related to the amount of fat in red meat and dairy produce.  The result is that many consumers are cutting back on, if not avoiding, red meat products.  A major challenge ahead of the beef industry is to supply a product that complies with the demands of more sophisticated and health conscious consumers.  But, even if the beef industry could respond positively to consumers needs, it is uncertain whether consumers would pay more for beef containing less fat.    In this paper the willingness of consumers to pay for less fat in selected beef cuts (T-bone and rump) was investigated with a...

A comparative analysis of the purchase motivations of Fair Trade products: the impact of social capital
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: De Devitiis,   Biagia; D'Alessio,   Massimiliano; Maietta,   Ornella Wanda.
Objective of this paper is to analyse the motivations in the purchase of Fair Trade (FT) food products sold in the World Shops (WS) in order to characterize WS consumer profiles according to the ethical content of their motivations. A questionnaire has been distributed, at this end, to a sample of consumers in Emilia Romagna, Puglia and in Campania. A principal component analysis has been performed in order to identify the main motivations in the purchase. On the basis of these results, consumers have been classified, by applying a cluster analysis, in homogenous segments. The cluster analysis reveals that 76% of consumers in Emilia Romagna buy FT products for an ethical motivation, 56% of consumers in Puglia and 43% of consumers in Campania buy these...

PRICING EFFICIENCY IN AGRICULTURAL MARKETS:  ISSUES, METHODS, AND RESULTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Buccola,   Steven T.
The notion of price efficiency is discussed in the context of an optimal information market.  Approaches for assessing price or market efficiency are examined, including temporal, spatial, and form-transformation paradigms.  The interdependent nature of these paradigms is stressed.  Finally, a review is conducted of recent price efficiency research in cash, futures, and manufacturing-retailing markets.  Research generally has paid inadequate attention to agents’ costs, including the cost of risk and the human capital cost of acquiring and evaluating information.

AN ANALYSIS OF DOMESTIC AND EXPORT DEMAND FOR U.S. COTTON
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Marseli,   Oussama; Epperson,   James E.
Expansion of the cotton industry depends on economic growth. Models were specified to estimate U.S. domestic and export demand with and without structural change. The results indicate that domestic demand increases with per capita GDP and decreases with rising oil prices. U.S. export demand for cotton expands with lower beginning stocks in the rest of the world and rising per capita income.

ESTIMATING MARGINAL IMPLICIT PRICES FOR SELECTED QUALITY ATTRIBUTES OF HYBRID SEED CORN
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ekanem,   Enefiok P.; Sundquist,   W. Burt.
The central objective of this study was to estimate the implicit marginal prices for the following attributes of hybrid seed corn:  yield, moisture content, root lodging, stalk lodging, stand survival and ear drop.  This study fills an existent gap in the application of a hedonic price technique to agricultural commodities. A hedonic price equation was constructed and estimated using characteristics data on hybrid corn varieties obtained from the Iowa State University Extension Service.  Seed price data were solicited from seed companies for the same set of hybrids.  In total, fifty-nine seed companies were asked for suggested retail prices for their hybrids.  Forty companies responded with 1991 price information which was used in estimating the parameters...

Autores: Murova,   Olga I.; Coble,   Keith H.; Trueblood,   Michael A.
This study explores the impact of technical inefficiency on agricultural supply functions in Ukraine.  Two models using a system of output supply and input demand equations were evaluated in this research: one without inefficiency included in the model and another with inefficiency included.  A likelihood ratio test found that the model with inefficiency included was the preferred model in this case.  Incorporation of inefficiency into the model increased output supply elasticities and did not dramatically change input demand elasticities.  The own-price elasticities for grains, sugar beets, sunflowers, and potatoes showed inelastic positive signs that were statistically significant.  The own-price input demands were negative and also inelastic; however,...

The transcendental logarithmic function is used to derive demand functions which are estimated for wheat classes imported by Pacific Rim countries.  Results indicate substantial differences exist in underlying demand parameters for wheat of different classes as well as across countries.  In addition, the expenditure level has important impacts on the distribution of imported wheat classes, and preferences have shifted significantly through time, generally toward higher protein wheats.

PRICE VARIABILITY OR RIGIDITY IN THE FOOD-RETAILING SECTOR? THEORETICAL ANALYSIS AND EVIDENCE FROM GERMAN SCANNER DATA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Herrmann,   Roland; Moser,   Anke.
In many industrialized countries, the grocery-retailing sector exhibits a strong and increasing market concentration. Hence, it is important to understand retail pricing for many questions related to market power in the marketing chain and to agricultural and food policies. We analyze intertemporal pricing of grocery retailers in Germany with a large set of scanner data for processed foods. In theory, food prices could be rather variable, e.g. due to fluctuating commodity prices in a competitive world, or rather rigid, e.g. due to price adjustment costs. We elaborate that retail sales are crucial and raise food price variability at the points of sale. Despite this, prices are rather rigid and often do not change for many weeks. Moreover, pricing strategies...

This paper examines price relationships in the international wheat market using a cointegration and error correction approach. Price series are found to be first difference stationary and cointegrated. Our results provide evidence that the United States, Australia, the European Union, and Argentina react to Canada's pricing decisions whereas Canada does not respond to any other price changes except Australia's. Similarly, the United States also plays a strong role in the pricing of other exporters (except Canada) and its U.S. pricing decision is affected by changes in Canadian and Australian prices. The remaining exporters such as the European Union and Argentina respond to the U.S. and Canadian price changes but do not have any influence on other prices....

ESTIMATION OF FOOD DEMAND AND NUTRIENT ELASTICITIES FROM HOUSEHOLD SURVEY DATA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Huang,   Kuo S.; Lin,   Biing-Hwan.
A methodology for estimating a demand system from household survey data is developed and applied to the 1987-88 Nationwide Food Consumption Survey data. The empirical results are sets of estimated demand elasticities for households segmented with different income levels. In addition, we apply these demand elasticities to estimate the implied nutrient elasticities for low-income households. The estimation results are useful in evaluating some food policy and program effects related to households of a specific income level.

It is widely believed that block-rate pricing separates income redistribution from efficiency consideration.  We show that social optimum can not be implementable by block-rate pricing.  Particularly, block-rate pricing with marginal cost as the highest block induces over production and utilization of resources, too-small firm size, and welfare losses.

This objective of this study is to update last year’s analysis of the effectiveness of the lamb advertising and promotion program of the American Lamb Board (ALB). The main conclusion is that the lamb checkoff program is still working effectively to increase lamb consumption and sales in the United States. The analysis shows that ALB lamb promotion programs have generated roughly 8 additional pounds of total lamb consumption per dollar spent on advertising and promotion and $44.45 in additional lamb sales per dollar spent on advertising and promotion.

TESTING AGGREGATION WITHOUT SEPARABILITY IN MEAT DEMAND: AN INVESTIGATION OF THE GENERALIZED COMPOSITE COMMODITY THEOREM
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Davis,   George C.
In the estimation of aggregate meat demand systems, weak separability is often a maintained assumption.  However, only a few studies have tested and failed to reject this assumption.  Recently, Lewbel (1996) developed a generalized composite commodity theorem (GCCT) that is less restrictive than weak separability.  In this study, a data set in which the weak separability conditions for aggregation have been rejected is reconsidered to determine if aggregation can be based on the GCCT.  Some subtleties of Lewbel's testing procedure that are not discussed by Lewbel are considered, and the fundamental problem of formulating aggregates prior to conducting tests for aggregation is addressed.

To explain over- and underuse of available quota, Buysse et al. (2007) have integrated the shadow cost of the quota constraint in a quota flexibility function in a positive mathematical programming model. This method and central hypothesis, formulated and tested for the case of Belgian sugar beet farms, is in current paper extended and confirmed for the cases of Flemish dairy quota and manure emission rights. Despite the different organisation, objectives and implementations of the diverse quota systems, the results are similar. A higher utilisation of quota is significantly driven by the quota rent, but farm characteristics are also important and the effect declines with increasing quota rent. Regardless the quota, the dairy quota flexibility behaviour of...

We used extensions of traditional ARCH and GARCH models to examine the difference in the behavior of the first two moments of the price distribution during collusion and the absence of it using prices from two recently discovered conspiracies, citric acid and lysine. According to our results, the citric acid conspiracy increased prices by 9 cents per pound relative to pre-cartel and post-cartel periods. The lysine conspiracy managed to raise prices by 25 cents per pound. In addition, the variance of prices during the lysine conspiracy was lower than the variance of prices during pre-cartel and post-cartel periods as we expected. In contrast, the variance of prices during the citric acid conspiracy was higher relative to more competitive periods.

IMPLICATIONS OF THE WORLD FOOD CRISES ON TRENDS OF LOCAL FOOD PRICES IN THE UPPER EAST REGION OF GHANA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Akudugu,   M.A.
The global food crisis led to upward trends in food prices across the world. The millions of impoverished people living in developing countries including Ghana were the worst affected by the phenomenal increases in world food prices. This paper examines the implications of the global food crisis on the trends of food prices in the Upper East Region of Ghana. The data used for the analyses were average monthly prices of some selected grain cereals, grain legumes, vegetables, and root and tuber food items consumed in the region. The data were gathered from the Upper East Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture. The analyses revealed that on the average, the prices of food items grew over 200 percent during the last twenty years. However,...

What is a Beverage Worth? Arbitrage Pricing and the Value of New Products: An Attribute-Space Approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Pofahl,   Geoffrey M.
We empirically estimate the valuation of new carbonated soft drink products within a model of market value maximization. We show that equity value is an important consideration in the firm decision to differentiate or imitate in new product introductions. Our results indicate that differentiation is a marginally better strategy for new product introductions as opposed to imitation of existing products. This finding is quite logical given the already high levels of imitative competition existing in the carbonated soft drink category.

In this paper we present the results of a contingent valuation study and an experimental approach to estimating the willingness to pay for fresh milk produced in the consumer's own region. In contrast to the fictitious contingent valuation study, responses in the experimental investigation are connected with real demand decisions and real financial payoffs in an incentive-compatible way. The experimental setup allows to quantify the bias in stated willingness to pay that results from the contingent valuation’s hypothetical character. In essence, the data suggest that there exists a considerable demand for milk from the consumers` home region. Yet, significantly less demand is found in the experimental investigation. At the same time, subjects accept...

Individuals who are unaware of the price do not derive more enjoyment from more expensive wine. In a sample of more than 6,000 blind tastings, we find that the correlation between price and overall rating is small and negative, suggesting that individuals on average enjoy more expensive wines slightly less. For individuals with wine training, however, we find indications of a positive relationship between price and enjoyment. Our results are robust to the inclusion of individual fixed effects, and are not driven by outliers: when omitting the top and bottom deciles of the price distribution, our qualitative results are strengthened, and the statistical significance is improved further. Our results indicate that both the prices of wines and wine...

The following results were found: unidirectional transmission of shocks from the world price to the auction price and then to the producer price; asymmetries in price transmissions and adjustments in the auction market; weak interrelationship between producer and world prices causing producer price to be less responsive to changes in the world prices. In general, results imply that coffee growers’ benefit little from positive changes in the world price compared with participants in the auction markets....

ALTERNATIVE PRICE SPECIFICATION FOR MUNICIPAL WATER DEMANDS: AN EMPIRICAL TEST
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Frerichs,   Stephen; Becker,   Nir; Easter,   K. William.
Based on data from 92 Minnesota cities, the analyses shows that neither marginal price or average price appear as the better predictor of demand. The price elasticity of demand ranges from -. 17 for marginal price in the linear model to -.27 for average price in the log linear model. It appears from the analysis that many consumers are unaware of the marginal price of their water. Thus utilities should simplify their pricing structures and present consumers with an easy to understand costs of water such as the cost of six hours of lawn watering.

This work provides a comparison of methodologies for applied research in price transmission analysis. We compare two regime-dependent econometric models, namely the threshold vector error correction model and the Markov-switching vector error correction model. We first provide a conceptual comparison in which we find that the regime-switching mechanisms of the models differ fundamentally so that each model is suitable for a certain type of nonlinear price trans-mission. Furthermore, we conduct a Monte Carlo experiment in order to study the performance of each of the models’ estimation techniques for simulated data. Although each model possesses an immediate economic interpretation which well matches an aspect of the theory of price transmission, the...

Effects of Ill Health and Weather Variability on Savings
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ndirangu,   Lydia K.
This paper examines the effects of households’ shocks on saving behaviour. It investigates the possibility that households save ex ante to buffer against adverse weather and health shocks. The relatively high prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS in Kenya combined with rain fed agriculture implies great uncertainty for rural livelihoods. Adopting a methodology previously used on cross-sectional data (Paxson, 1992), the paper examines the level of households precautionary behaviour. This is done by estimating the marginal propensity to save out of transitory income over a period of 18 months. The results show that while households may exhibit some level of prudence, the marginal propensity to save out of transitory income is about a third of what the permanent income...

L’approche d’estimation du taux d’adoption utilisée dans ce papier se fonde sur les théories modernes  d’évaluation au niveau micro-économique des impacts d’interventions politiques.  Nos résultats montrent que 39% de la population guinéenne connaissaient au moins une variété NERICA en 2001 avec 23% pour le taux d’adoption observé au sein de la population de riziculteurs. Plusieurs facteurs socio-économiques déterminent les taux de diffusion et d’adoption. Par ailleurs bien que le...

DEMAND FOR WILDLIFE HUNTING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Sun,   Lili; van Kooten,   G. Cornelis; Voss,   Graham M.
We present estimates of the demand for hunting licenses by residents and non residents in British Columbia for the period 1971–2000. We obtain estimates of both short-run and long- run price elasticities and discuss their revenue implications for future fee increases. We find the demand by non residents to be strongly correlated with U.S. income variation over the business cycle, but find no such role for cyclical income variation for resident hunters. The ability of the government to increase revenues from resident hunters turns out to be limited, particularly in the long run, while greater opportunities exist to raise revenues from U.S. hunters as short- and long-run price elasticities of demand are quite inelastic. We argue that conservation surcharges...

A REGIONAL COMPARISON OF U.S. COTTON BASIS PATTERNS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Seamon,   V. Frederick; Kahl,   Kandice H.; Curtis,   Charles E., Jr.
The basis, defined as the cash price minus the futures price, is important when making marketing decisions.  The cotton basis is calculated using the July futures price for six major cotton marketing regions in the U.S.  for August 1993 to November 1997.  Graphs of the average basis for the four complete crop years show that the basis generally followed the expected seasonal pattern.  The basis tended to be weakest at harvest and to strengthen later in the crop year.  However, a visual inspection showed regional differences in the seasonal pattern.  Regional differences in the yearly variability in the basis were also observed.  Thus, the usefulness of the average historical basis in predicting the future basis appears to differ depending on the region.

What Explains the Incidence of the Use of a Common Sediment Control on Lots with Houses Under Construction?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Templeton,   Scott R.; Sessions,   William T.; Haselbach,   Liv M.; Campbell,   Wallace A.; Hayes,   John C.
To analyze compliance with one aspect of the regulation of stormwater discharge, we estimate a random-utility model of the probability that a builder uses a silt fence to control sediments on a lot with a house under construction in an urbanizing county of South Carolina. The probability increases if the builder is responsible to the subdivision’s developer or if a homeowners association exists. The probability also increases as the cost to install a silt fence decreases or the number of houses under construction per built house in a subdivision increases. The results can help county officials target inspection to improve compliance.

DEMAND AND QUALITY UNCERTAINTY IN PECAN PURCHASING DECISIONS

Autores: Park,   Timothy A.; Florkowski,   Wojciech J.
Fixed search costs associated with locating and purchasing pecans invalidate the Tobit model.  Factors such as perceived quality, ease of purchase, and familiarity with marketing outlets influence the fixed costs of pecan purchases.  These factors have differing impacts on the probability of purchasing and the amount purchased based on the Heckman model.  Failure to apply self-selectivity corrections produces misleading assessments of key variables influencing pecan purchases.  (Missing tables 1,2,3)

Autores: Goddard,   Ellen W.; Shank,   Benjamin; Panter,   Chris; Nilsson,   Tomas K.H.; Cash,   Sean B.
The Canadian chicken industry has operated under supply management since the mid-1970s. Canadian consumer preferences for chicken have grown dramatically since then possibly in response to concerns about health and the levels of fat and cholesterol in red meats. However Canadian consumers are also looking for convenience with their food purchases. Canadians are buying their chicken in frozen further processed forms, fresh by cut without skin and bone and in a variety of other different ways reflecting their unique willingness to pay for various attributes. There is also an increasing trend for retailers and processors to brand the fresh chicken product sold through grocery stores (for example, Maple Leaf Prime). The preferences Canadian consumer have for...

Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAG's) and Error Correction Models (ECM's) are employed to analyze questions of price discovery between spatially separated commodity markets and the transportation market linking them together.  Results from our analysis suggest these markets are highly interconnected but it is the inland commodity market that is strongly influenced by both the transportation and commodity export markets. However, the commodity markets affect the volatility of the transportation market over longer horizons.  Our results suggest that transportation rates are critical in the price discovery process lending support for the recent development of exchange traded barge rate futures contracts.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE SUPPLY OF QUALITY SPRING WHEATS: COMPARISONS BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA; SUMMARY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dahl,   Bruce L.; Wilson,   William W.
The demand for high quality hard wheats has been increasing.  In this paper, factors affecting the supply and consistency of high quality wheats in Canada and North Dakota were compared and contrasted.  Differences exist in the development and release of new varieties which affect the number and quality of hard wheats produced.  Variety numbers and concentration were examined with a range of measures.   Wheat area in Canada was found to be concentrated in fewer varieties than in North Dakota.  These results were more apparent for durum than for hard red spring wheats. However, there was a trend toward more concentration in North Dakota and less in Canada.  Protein, yield, and trade-offs were compared. Alberta appears to have a comparative advantage in the...

Non-Linear Spatial Price Transmission on the Turkish Wheat Market
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Weitzel,   Enno-Burghard; Bayaner,   Ahmet.
Agricultural production is spread all over Turkey and the considerably different climatic and topographical conditions among the provinces lead to highly diversified agricultural production. Thus, is it reasonable to assume an integrated market all over Turkey? This paper analyzes the spatial price transmission among 28 Turkish provinces. Applying a bivariate threshold vector error correction model allows to account for transaction costs without having direct information of these. The results suggest that there is an inner cluster of several provinces that can be treated as one large integrated market. However, the degree of market integration decreases in the outer provinces of Turkey. Although transaction costs are significant for nearly all provinces,...

Price Transmission in the German Sugar Market
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Nolte,   Stephan; Natanelov,   Valeri; Buysse,   Jeroen; van Huylenbroeck,   Guido.
The German sugar market is governed by the European Union’s common market organization (CMO). In 2006, the CMO was subject to its first major reform. Among others, the administered price for sugar was reduced by 36%. We use a data set with monthly prices for sugar and sugar containing products to perform a cointegration analysis. Results show that the reduction of the institutional price has led to a reduction of wholesale prices and of retail prices for table sugar. Prices for sugar containing products are barely integrated with the sugar price, though. Some are found to be integrated with the CPI for food and soft drinks. In none of the cases where linear cointegration could not be detected, threshold cointegration could be found.

De Gustibus Asparagus: Habits, Trade, and Welfare from Out of Season Imports of Fresh Vegetables
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ferrier,   Peyton Michael; Zhen,   Chen.
Fresh vegetables, including asparagus, are now available in months outside of the domestic growing season for most U.S. consumers. We use the virtual price method to calculate the equivalent variation for increased availability in a demand system for fresh and frozen vegetables and find that virtual price of out-of-season asparagus is roughly 3 times higher than its in-season price in years prior to year round availability.  We find the equivalent variation between 1986-1991 (when asparagus was available approximately half the year) and 1993-1999 (when it was available year round) to be 0.91 of consumer vegetable budgets, implying a welfare benefit of approximately $86 million annually.  We also find evidence of habit formation for fresh but not frozen...

Consumer Preferences for Locally Made Specialty Food Products Across Northern New England

Does willingness to pay a premium for local specialty food products differ between consumers in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont? Two food categories are investigated: low-end ($5) and high-end ($20) products. Premia estimates are compared across states and across base prices within states using dichotomous choice contingent valuation methods. Results suggest that the three states of northern New England have many similarities, including comparable price premia for the lower-priced good. However, there is some evidence that the premium for the higher-priced good is greater for the pooled Vermont and Maine treatment than for the New Hampshire treatment. Vermont and New Hampshire residents are willing to pay a higher premium for a $20 than for a $5 food...

AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH TO DETERMINING THE ELASTICITY OF EXCESS DEMAND FACING THE UNITED STATES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Miller,   Douglas J.; Paarlberg,   Philip L.
The United States embarked on a policy assuming excess demands for commodities are elastic.  Some analysts question the success of that policy and argue that excess demands for farm commodities are inelastic.  The controversy is deepened because the two traditional techniques for determining excess demand elasticities yield opposing estimates.  We use an alternative technique based on observed variation in commodity prices, production, and use.  The point estimates show excess demands for wheat, coarse grains, soybeans, rice, and cotton are elastic.  However, a one-sided bootstrap test cannot reject the null hypothesis that the excess demands for wheat, coarse grains, and soybeans are inelastic.

How Much Would Increasing the Minimum Wage Affect Food Prices?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lee,   Chinkook; Schluter,   Gerald E.; O'Roark,   Brian.
Will increasing the minimum wage increase food prices as well? This study shows that a simulated $0.50 increase in the minimum wage, if entirely passed on to consumers, would have increased food prices by less than 1 percent for most of the foods at foodstores and by 1 percent at eating and drinking places.  Because these estimates were simulated using an economic model that assumed that firms did not alter their production processes when faced with higher minimum wages, these estimates are likely "upward bounds" of the price effects of a minimum wage increase.

The primary objective in this paper is to 'promote' the use of equilibrium displacement modeling, or comparative static analysis of general function models, as a research tool in agricultural price and policy analyses. This is by no means a new tool, but it does seem to be used much less in Australia than it is in the US where it has been the basis of several important journal papers in recent times, The paper includes applications to: (a) reproduce important results obtained by Euse (1958) regarding total elasticities; and (b) examine the price premium argument that has been advanced in favour of single-desk selling arrangements. The latter is the secondary objective in the paper. Whilst equilibrium displacement modelling has its shortcomings, it is a...

Pricing of Queensland Sugar Cane: Appraisal of the Present Formula and a Suggestion for Reform
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Dixon,   Peter B.; Johnson,   David T.
Production and milling of sugar cane in Queensland occur in a highly regulated environment. In particular the price of cane is determined by a formula which has been used virtually unchanged for about 70 years. Under this formula, the returns to millers are tied to the price of sugar, not the costs of milling. It is argued in the paper that this could lead to economically unjustified changes in milling arrangements and wasteful uses of milling resources. Other weaknesses of the present formula are also identified. An alternative formula, overcoming all identified problems, is suggested.

A contingent valuation approach has been used to estimate the willingness to pay by consumers for changes in leanness and portion size in lamb loin chops. Over 800 consumers were interviewed at four major shopping centres in Sydney. Consumers were prepared to buy loin chops with more fat cover at a discounted price but were unwilling to offer a premium for chops with a larger area of red meat.

DEMAND FOR WILDLIFE HUNTING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Sun,   Lili; van Kooten,   G. Cornelis; Voss,   Graham M.
We present estimates of the demand for hunting licenses by residents and non residents in British Columbia for the period 1971–2000. We obtain estimates of both short-run and long-run price elasticities and discuss their revenue implications for future fee increases. We further find the demand by non residents to be strongly correlated with U.S. income variation over the business cycle; however, we find no such role for cyclical income variation for resident hunters. Finally, we demonstrate that hunters respond differently to conservation surcharges on hunting licenses relative to direct licensing charges, which has implications for policy makers introducing environmental surcharges in various contexts.

The demand for selected food nutrients in Greece: The role of socioeconomic factors
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Liaskos,   George; Lazaridis,   Panagiotis.
This paper investigates the relationship between the consumption of selected food nutrients and various socioeconomic factors in Greece. Linear multiple regression analysis was used to estimate the relationship between the consumption of each nutrient and the socioeconomic factors hypothesized to influence it. Data from the 1993/94 family budget survey were used in the analysis. Results show that nutrient consumption increases when moving to higher income levels, with a decreasing rate. Most socioeconomic factors other than income, also influence nutrient consumption significantly.

Promotion and Fast Food Demand: Where's the Beef?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Richards,   Timothy J.; Padilla,   Luis.
Many believe that fast food promotion is a significant cause of the obesity epidemic in North America. Industry members argue that promotion only reallocates brand shares and does not increase overall demand. This study weighs into the debate by specifying and estimating a discrete/continuous model of fast food restaurant choice and food expenditure that explicitly accounts for both spatial and temporal determinants of demand. Estimates are obtained using a unique panel of Canadian fast food consumers. The results show that promotion primarily increases demand and has very little effect on restaurant market shares.

Evaluating Marketing Channel Options for Small-Scale Fruit and Vegetable Producers
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: LeRoux,   Matthew N.; Schmit,   Todd M.; Roth,   Monika; Streeter,   Deborah H.
An investigation of the relative costs and benefits of marketing channels used by typical smallscale diversified vegetable crop producers is conducted. Using case study evidence from four small farms in Central New York, this study compares the performance of wholesale and direct marketing channels, including how the factors of risk, owner and paid labor, price, lifestyle preferences, and sales volume interact to impact optimal market channel selection. Given the highly perishable nature of the crops grown, along with the risks and potential sales volume of particular channels, a combination of different marketing channels is needed to maximize overall firm performance. Accordingly, a ranking system is developed to summarize the major firm-specific factors...

The Price Premium for Organic Babyfood: A Hedonic Analysis
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Maguire,   Kelly B.; Owens,   Nicole N.; Simon,   Nathalie B.
The price premium associated with organic babyfood is estimated by applying a hedonic model to price and characteristic data for babyfood products collected in two cities: Raleigh, North Carolina, and San Jose, California. The price per ounce of babyfood is modeled as a function of a number of babyfood and store characteristics. The estimated organic price premium is generally equal to 3 cents to 4 cents per ounce. To the extent this premium reflects consumer willingness to pay to reduce pesticide exposures, it could be used to infer values for reduced dietary exposures to pesticide residues for babies.

Autores: Vere,   David T.; Griffith,   Garry R.
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the influence of alternate price determination specifications on the ability of a structural econometric model of the Australian prime lamb industry to accurately forecast saleyard lamb prices. Five variations of this model were specified according to the manner in which the farm prices of lamb were assumed to be determined. and these were used to produce 12 quarterly dynamic price forecasts over 1991:1 to 1993:4. The results confirmed the importance of the assumed nature of the price determination process in influencing the model's solution and its subsequent ability to forecast farm prices. Based on the forecasts' mean squared errors, the preferred specification was one which incorporated a traditional market...

GLEANING INFORMATION FROM MANDATORY LIVESTOCK PRICE REPORTING
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Diersen,   Matthew A.
Mandatory livestock price reporting has changed how prices are reported and used by analysts and market participants.  Reporting has affected the availablity of many reports and has added new reports and information.  The new information often needs to be put into a meaningful form for direct use by analysts and participants.  A brief overview of the evolution and implementation of mandatory price reporting is given.  The new price reports are then discussed and compared to voluntary reports.  Special attention is given to new reports that give insights into the short- and medium-run cattle supply situation.  As South Dakota had State-level reporting in place prior to the Federal law, there is additional data and insights that put national observations...

Autores: Uri,   Noel D.; Hyberg,   Bengt.
This investigation looks at whether the grade determining and official criteria factors identified by the Federal Grain Inspection Service influence the price of wheat for export and, in turn, the competitiveness of United States wheat in the world market. Using data on the transactions price for hard red winter wheat, hard red spring wheat, and soft white wheat and the associated quality characteristics covering the period January 1990 through December 1991 and exported to 63 countries, the results suggest that the test weight, the percentage of shrunken and broken kernels, the protein content, the presence of aflatoxin, the presence of insects, and the falling number are characteristics consistently valued by the market.

This study utilized and compared hypothetical conjoint analysis and non-hypothetical experimental auctions to elicit floral customers' WTP for biodegradable plant containers. The results of the study show that participants were willing to pay a price premium for biodegradable containers but the premium is not the same for different types of containers. This paper also shows the mixed ordered probit model generates more accurate results when analyzing the conjoint analysis internet survey data than the ordered probit model.

The Impact of the Northeastern Dairy Compact on New England Consumers: A Report from the Milk Policy Wars
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cotterill,   Ronald W.
This paper presents a comparative analysis of three different economic studies that played major roles in the policy debate over the Compact. It draws an important distinction between before-after and counterfactual impact analysis and highlights constraining assumptions in models. Over time the Compact increased raw milk price 2-3 cents per gallon, but if the Compact had not been in place during the first 3 years of its operation raw milk prices would have been approximately 10 cents lower. Over time retail prices went up by much more than 2-3 cents because other costs increased and channel firms increased tacit collusion and net profits. Studies give different counterfactual estimates for retail prices without the Compact. They range from a drop of 5.7...

An Assessment of Dynamic Behavior in the U.S. Catfish Market: An Application of the Generalized Dynamic Rotterdam Model
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Muhammad,   Andrew; Jones,   Keithly G.
The generalized dynamic Rotterdam model was used in estimating U.S. demand for disaggregated catfish. The overall goal was to examine habit persistence in consumption and to determine the adjustment process in demand. Results indicated that it took up to 1 month for catfish-product demand to fully adjust to changes in expenditures and prices. Additionally, habit persistence played a role in demand where present consumption of a given product was positively affected by past consumption of that product. Consequently, U.S. catfish demand was significantly more elastic in the long-run.

MARKET-STRUCTURE DETERMINANTS OF NATIONAL BRAND-PRIVATE LABEL PRICE DIFFERENCES OF MANUFACTURED FOOD PRODUCTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Connor,   John M.; Peterson,   Everett B.
This paper estimates the relationships between market structure and the Lerner index of monopoly constructed from price data on processed food products sold through grocery stores. A theoretical model of a differentiated oligopoly specifies two determinants of price-cost margins: the Herfindahl-Hirschman index of seller concentration adjusted for the elasticity of demand and the industry advertising-to-sales ratio. The results indicate that the three principal determinants of price-cost margin variation, in order of their impacts, are: advertising intensity, elasticity of demand, and concentration. Previous structure-performance studies that did not incorporate the elasticity of demand were probably misspecified.

A Hedonic Perspective to Estimating a Marginal Value Function for a Subsistence Crop
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Edmeades,   Svetlana.
A hedonic price model is used to estimate the marginal value function for output characteristics of a subsistence crop in a developing economy.  Within the framework of the agricultural household, with non-separable consumption and production decisions, prices reflect the implicit marginal valuation of both consumption and production attributes jointly.  Variety-specific crop product farm-gate prices are used in the hedonic analysis.  The findings provide guidance for future crop improvement efforts, while revealing those attributes most likely to capture premiums at the market place.  Implicit premiums for attribute scarcity are also revealed.  Improvements in infrastructure could partially reduce the implicit costs of transportation, leading to higher...

According to several surveys organic products widely meet consumers demand, but the corresponding market share in Germany is less than 2,5 %. Missing confidence in the authenticity of organic products, high prices compared to other foods, a low density of distribution, and a lack of a uniform label are regarded as hampering factors for market growth. The influence of the image of organic products on market development, however, is analyzed insufficiently by now. This paper therefore aims at investigating the implications of the image of organic foods on its acceptance by consumers and deriving hints for the development of the market.

Asymmetric Response of Nutrient Intakes to Cereal Price Changes among the Poor in China: Implications for the Effect of Cereal Price Subsidies on the Poor’s Nutrient Intakes
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Shimokawa,   Satoru.
Previous studies commonly assume that the effects of introducing and ending cereal price subsidies on the poor’s nutrient intakes are symmetric. We question the assumption of symmetry and show that the poor’s nutrient intakes respond asymmetrically to declines and increases in the price of cereal in China. Our results imply that introducing cereal price subsidies can increase the poor’s total energy intake by increasing their calorie intakes from fat and protein, and that ending such subsidies would insignificantly affect the poor’s total energy intake; however, it may further increase their calorie intakes from fat and protein.

Consumer Demand for Quality: Major Determinant for Agricultural and Food Trade in the Future?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Caswell,   Julie A.; Joseph,   Siny.
The impact of consumer demand for quality on the agricultural and food system is an increased emphasis on quality differentiation but not all in the direction of upgrading quality. The more elite market segments are thriving and reaching growing numbers of consumers but the basic price/quality markets remain strong. Most recent economic studies find that consumers are willing to pay for food safety and other quality attributes, and for information about them. The magnitude of the valuations varies by food product, attribute, country, and study design. This literature and a case study of genetically modified foods suggest that consumer demand has a strong effect on agricultural and food trade.

Estimating the Price Elasticity of Demand for Water with Quasi Experimental Methods
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Klaiber,   H. Allen; Smith,   V. Kerry; Kaminsky,   Michael; Strong,   Aaron.
There is a growing recognition in both the professional and popular literatures that water scarcity is a key policy issue that is especially important in arid, urban settings with the prospects for shortfalls in water availability due to the effects of climate change. Those evaluating these types of water problems usually conclude prices must be reformed so that incentives facing water users change to reflect this scarcity. Demand functions provide the basic economic relationships required to understand how water use will respond to such changes. This paper proposes a new method for estimating the price elasticity of demand that meets policy needs and can accommodate the presence of increasing block pricing structures.

WEAK SEPARABILITY AND A TEST FOR THE SPECIFICATION OF INCOME IN DEMAND MODELS WITH AN APPLICATION TO THE DEMAND FOR MEAT IN AUSTRALIA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Alston,   Julian M.; Chalfant,   James A.
Most studies of the demand for meat in Australia have used some measure of total income or expenditure, but two recent studies have assumed weak separability of a meat group and used expenditure on the meat group instead. These specification differences are of interest to the extent that they affect the economic interpretation, goodness-of-fit, elasticity estimates, predictive performance or hypothesis tests in empirical demand equations. In this paper, non-nested hypothesis testing procedures are used to test the alternative specifications of the income variable and the hypothesis of separability. The results favour the use of the expenditure variable implied by separability but are mixed concerning whether separability holds.

CHANGES IN THE U.S. DEMAND FOR SUGAR AND IMPLICATIONS FOR IMPORT POLICIES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lopez,   Rigoberto A.; Sepulveda,   Jorge L.
The thrust of this paper is to identify and measure structural changes in the U.S. demand for sugar and to derive subsequent implications for import restriction policies.  Empirical results indicate that changes in consumer preferences and the availability of closer and cheaper sweeteners in food processing, especially high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), are exerting a downward pressure on sugar demand.  As the U.S. demand for sugar decreases and the food industry adjusts faster to sweetener choices, the U.S. government would have to impose more restrictive import barriers to maintain prices to domestic sugar and HFCS producers.  Furthermore, the welfare impact of U.S. sugar policy options on domestic consumers and food processors will be lessened.

Do Native and Invasive Labels Affect Consumer Willingness to Pay for Plants? Evidence from Experimental Auctions
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Yue,   Chengyan; Hurley,   Terrance M.; Anderson,   Neil O.
The ultimate objective of commercial horticultural activities is to satisfy the needs of the final consumer. Consumer demand for novel plants drives the ornamental plant industry. Therefore, dispersal of native and invasive horticultural plants can be understood by considering the decisions/choices of consumers who decide which plants to purchase from retailers. In contrast to previous studies on invasive and native plants, this study uses an experimental auction to elicit consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for labeled native and invasive attributes. Results from a censored random effect model show that consumers’ WTP for plants decreases when the plants are labeled as invasive and increases when plants are labeled as native. The study finds that...

This paper estimates market integration between the Finnish and German pork and beef markets. An econometric error correction model that allows for threshold effects and asymmetric price response is estimated. The data are weekly price observations during the period of 1995-2004. Each price series have 520 observations. The results suggest that the Finnish beef prices are stationary and they are not co-integrated with the German price. Thus, the domestic and imported beef may be treated as different goods by consumers. The pork prices are integrated of the first order I(1) and they are also co-integrated. The threshold effects are significant and the price adjustment process is asymmetric, but slow in all regimes. The price transmission process has...

Consumers Valuations and Choice Processes of Food Safety Enhancement Attributes: An International Study of Beef Consumers
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Tonsor,   Glynn T.; Schroeder,   Ted C.; Pennings,   Joost M.E.; Mintert,   James R.
Food safety concerns have had dramatic impacts on food and livestock markets in recent years. Here we examine consumer preferences for various beef food safety assurances. In particular, we evaluate the extent to which such preferences are heterogeneous within and across country-of-residence defined groups and examine the distributional nature of these preferences with respect to marginal improvements in food safety. We collected data from over 4,000 U.S., Canada, Japan, and Mexican consumers. Using mixed logit models we find that Japanese and Mexican consumers have WTP preferences that are nonlinear in the level of food safety risk reduction. Conversely, U.S .and Canadian consumers appear to possess linear preferences. These results suggest that optimal...

Valuing Intellectual Property Rights in an Imperfectly Competitive Market: A Biopharming Application
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kostandini,   Genti; Mills,   Bradford F.
Small research firms developing biotechnology applications often focus on establishing intellectual property rights (IPRs), which can then be sold to more established firms with existing market channels. This paper presents a method for valuing the IPRs for an innovation that lowers product production costs below those associated with the patented process of a monopolist. The application to Glucocerebrosidase enzyme from transgenic tobacco suggests an IPRs value of about $1.75 billion. Despite the innovator’s market power, significant surplus gains also accrue to consumers. Further, U.S. antitrust laws that prohibit IPRs acquisition by the current monopolist increase consumer welfare by almost 50%.

MODELING PERENNIAL CROP SUPPLY: AN ILLUSTRATION FROM THE PECAN INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Elnagheeb,   Abdelmoneim H.; Florkowski,   Wojciech J.
Two methodological approaches were applied to estimating the number of non-bearing trees in the absence of such date using data for the Southern USA pecan industry.  The first approach distinguished between bearing and non-bearing phases of a tree life and directly estimated the number of non-bearing trees.  The second focused on indirect estimating of the non-bearing tree number from changes in production.  This approach relaxed the assumption of maintaining maximum yields for infinite period as used in earlier studies.  Empirical applications used two data sets from the pecan industry.  The comparison of empirical results suggested that the first method was more accurate than the alternative approach in predicting the number of newly planted trees over...

Data Aggregation and Vertical Price Transmission: An Experiment with German Food Prices
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: von Cramon-Taubadel,   Stephan; Loy,   Jens-Peter; Meyer,   Jochen.
The impact of cross sectional aggregation over individual retail stores on the estimation and testing of vertical price transmission between the wholesale and retail levels is investigated using a unique data set of individual retail prices in Germany. Systematic differences between the results of estimations using aggregated data on the one hand, and disaggregated data on the other, are discussed theoretically and confirmed empirically. The results suggest that estimation with aggregated data generates misleading conclusions about price transmission behavior at the level of the individual units (i.e. retail stores) that underlie these aggregates.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MANAGERIAL HEURISTICS AND ECONOMICS IN PRICING RETAIL MEATS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Reed,   Michael R.; Robbins,   Lynn W.
This study develops a theoretical model of the multiproduct firm which allows for imperfect competition in the output market. Hypotheses are tested for retail meat prices concerning the degree and speed of price transmission, the effects of interfirm competition, and the interrelationship between prices within the store. Empirical results indicated that meat prices within a store were highly interrelated. Further, the firm was found to be very responsive to prices of competitors in the short run, but more responsive to wholesale price changes in the long run.

SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL LINKAGES IN U.S. POTATO PRICES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cheng,   Hsiang-Tai; Leiby,   James D.; Marra,   Michele C.
In recent years regional weather patterns have had an unusually strong effect on potato production and prices across the country in all marketing seasons. The quantitative impact of changes in potato production in one marketing region on prices in others is not currently known. These linkages, however, are quite important for decision makers in the industry in planning marketing strategies. This study examines the relationships among prices and quantities of potatoes across regions and seasons.  Own- and cross-price flexibilities are estimated using Pooled Time Series and Cross-Sectional methods for winter, spring, summer as well as eastern, central, and western fall potato production. Significant impacts of own-regional production on prices are found....

Autores: Baek,   Jungho; Koo,   Won W.
Perron's test, Johansen cointegration analysis, and a vector error-correction (VEC) model are used to identify structural change, as well as to examine price dynamics in the U.S. and Canadian hard red spring (HRS) and durum wheat markets. It is found that, due to the U.S. Export Enhancement Program (EEP), price instability experienced in June 1986 has resulted in structural changes for Canadian HRS and durum prices. We also find that Canadian prices have significant effects on the determination of the U.S. prices in the North American wheat market.

In the current paper, we compare alternative approaches to incorporating uncertainty into the statistical analysis of dichotomous choice responses. In doing so, first we employ previous modelling techniques that included uncertainty of preferences, and secondly we compare the obtained results with those coming from a novel approach here developed, a finite mixture model.  The finite mixture model is a very flexible framework used to deal with preference uncertainty. Our case study uses data gathered in the Prestige oil spill valuation study from Spain.

INTERNATIONAL CROSS SECTION ESTIMATES OF DEMAND FOR USE IN THE GTAP MODEL
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Reimer,   Jeffrey J.; Hertel,   Thomas W.
The making of projections often requires an economy-wide perspective, and the estimation of consumer demands at the international level. In this paper, an implicit, directly additive demand system (AIDADS) is estimated using cross-country data on consumer expenditures from the International Comparison Program (ICP), and then from Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) data. The two data sets are found to produce results that are quite consistent despite their differing origins, and the fact that the former is based on consumer goods that embody wholesale/retail margins, while margin demands are treated separately in GTAP. Given the similarity of the results, the estimation based on GTAP data is favored because it is readily matched to input-output based...

Autores: Dhehibi,   Boubaker; Lachaal,   Lassaad; Karray,   B.; Chebil,   Ali.
The aim of this paper is to investigate the relative contribution of technical efficiency, technological change and increased input use to the output growth of the Tunisian olive oil growing farms using a stochastic frontier production function approach applied to panel data for the period 1995- 1997. The proposed methodology is based on the use of a flexible translog functional form. Results indicate that technical efficiency of production in the sample of olive producing farms investigated ranges from a minimum of 24.8% to a maximum of 84.6% with an average technical efficiency estimate of 48.5%. This suggests that olive producers may increase their production by as much as 51.5% through more efficient use of production inputs. Further, the production is...

The influence of label on wine consumption: its effects on young consumers' perception of authenticity and purchasing behavior
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lunardo,   Renaud; Guerinet,   Richard.
The last forty years have seen a dramatic decrease in wine consumption in France. In 1965, the wine consumption per people per year was 160 liters ; in 2005, people didn’t drink more than 70 liters of wine in a year. Moreover, from 1980 to 1990, people over 14 years who drunk wine have decreased from 80 to 67 % of the population. In 2005, only 62 % of them pretended drinking wine. That is one million French people less than in 2000. This decline in wine market can be explained by the fact that young people consume less wine than older people. This article identifies authenticity as a factor explaining purchasing behavior of young consumers. Findings suggests that the label of bottled wine influences young consumers’ choice of wine.

Korean Consumers’ Preferences and Willingness to Pay for Domestic versus U.S. and Australian Beef with Alternative Attributes
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Umberger,   Wendy J.; Calkins,   Chris R.
In 2007, consumer focus groups and online surveys using choice sets were conducted to examine South Korean’s perceptions of and willingness-to-pay for Australian, U.S. and domestic beef. Consumers indicated higher positive perceptions of Australian beef than of U.S. beef, particularly in the area of environmentally friendly, cleanliness, standards and credibility; and thus Korean consumers discount Australian beef less than U.S. beef relative to domestic beef. The U.S. industry could improve perceptions and their country-image by providing Korean consumers with promotional material pointing out that U.S. beef production systems are comparable to competitors’ in terms of “environmental-friendliness” and other quality attributes.

For repeat transactions data from monthly auction hammer prices, we analyze the level and quality of Bordeaux wine returns using the Fama-French Three-Factor Model and the Capital Asset Pricing Model. Returns average up to 0.75% per month above those predicted by these models. Further,  investment grade wines benefit from low exposure to market risk factors, thus offering a valuable dimension of portfolio diversification. These findings are consistent with simple theoretical considerations and support a documented growing interest in wine investments.

An Empirical Analysis of the Demand for Wholesale Pork Primals: Seasonality and Structural Change
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Parcell,   Joseph L.
This study focuses on estimating wholesale pork primal demand relationships in order to determine their own-quantity flexibilities, whether these flexibilities have changed over time, and seasonal price fluctuations. A set of equations for pork loin, rib, butt, ham, pork belly, and picnic primals was estimated. Monthly data over an 11-year period were used to determine that own-quantity flexibilities varied across months, that they increased in absolute value over time for some primal cuts, and cold-storage stocks were used as an inventory control measure to reduce price variation for some primal cuts.

Volatility Spillovers between Food and Energy Markets, A Semiparametric Approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Serra,   Teresa.
Previous literature on volatility links between food and energy prices is scarce and mainly based on parametric approaches. We assess this issue by using a semiparametric GARCH model recently proposed by Long et al. (2009), which is essentially a nonparametric correction of the parametric conditional covariance function. We focus on price links between crude oil, ethanol and sugar prices in Brazil. Results suggest strong volatility links between the prices studied. They also suggest that parametric approximations of the conditional covariance matrix may lead to misleading results and can be improved using nonparametric techniques.

The value of inter seasonal arbitrage in water markets
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bell,   Rosalyn; Beare,   Stephen.
There is pressure in Australia for water management reform to ensure an efficient allocation of resources between productive uses and to provide adequate conservation of the environment. The establishment of water markets and trade has been seen as the primary mechanism for improving the efficiency of water use in the Southern Murray Darling Basin. However, with the existing trading arrangements, irrigators can only reallocate water within a season. Individuals do not hold property rights that allow them to manage the variability in water demand and supply between seasons. The objective of the study presented in this paper is to establish an order of magnitude for the benefits of property rights that allow for inter-seasonal arbitrage in water markets. A...

POTENTIAL ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF THE NORTHEAST INTERSTATE DAIRY COMPACT ON VERMONT DAIRY FARMS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Wackernagel,   Rick.
The Northeast Interstate Dairy Compact has been established to regulate milk prices.  Simulation models show impacts on Vermont farms of alternative milk prices and accelerated productivity growth.  Enhancing prices (by $0.85/cwt) improves financial performance the most, while impacts of doubling growth in milk production/cow (to 2.6% per year) and setting a price floor (which reduces the standard deviation of the price by 19% and raises prices $0.12/cwt) are substantially smaller.  These impacts are inversely related to farm profitability.  However, impacts on larger farms are not proportionately larger than those on smaller farms.  Reducing price variability has smaller impacts than the $0.12/cwt price increase.

EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE IMPACT OF THE 2007 RECALL ON THE DEMAND FOR PEANUT BUTTER BRANDS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bakhtavoryan,   Rafael; Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Salin,   Victoria.
The US Food and Drug Administration confirmed in February 2007 that a major foodborne illness outbreak was caused by two peanut butter brands, Peter Pan and Great Value, manufactured by ConAgra Foods Inc. at its Sylvester, Georgia, processing plant. As a result, on February 14, 2007, ConAgra voluntarily issued a nationwide recall of its Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter products produced since May 2006 and sold through grocery and retail stores throughout the United States. Using the ACNielsen Homescan Panel for calendar years 2006, 2007 and 2008, this study investigates the impacts of the recall on the demand for peanut butter by estimating a second degree polynomial distributed lag with a lag length of three and endpoint restrictions imposed.

This paper treats the demand for farm output as part of an interrelated factor demand system.  The farm level outputs are meat, poultry, dairy, fruits and vegetables and other food.  The processing and distribution inputs are labor, packaging, transportation and all other.  Input demands are modeled using a restricted translog cost function which is conditional on capital stock in the processing sector.  The results show that:   each category of farm output demand is inelastic; capital stock is an important determinant of the demand for farm output; there is no substitution among various farm outputs and little substitution between outputs and other inputs; there is moderate substitution among the nonfarm inputs; and, increases in nonfarm input cost have...

The Effect of Prior Gains and Losses on Current Risk-Taking Using Quantile Regression
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mattos,   Fabio; Garcia,   Philip.
This paper investigates the dynamics of sequential decision-making in agricultural futures and options markets using a quantile regression framework. Analysis of trading records of 12 traders suggests that there is great heterogeneity in individual trading behavior. Traders respond differently to prior profits depending on how much risk their portfolios are carrying. In general, no significant response is found at average and below-average levels of risk, but response can become large and significant at above-average levels of risk. These results are consistent with studies which argued that behavior may be uneven under different circumstances, and calls into question the adoption of conditional mean framework to investigate trading behavior. Focusing the...

The study identifies the linkage between imports and the domestic price of crawfish. The results show a simultaneous increase in imports and domestic prices of crawfish while showing a negative relationship between domestic landings and price. Each model shows that there is a seasonality effect on the domestic price of crawfish. The study also shows that increases in the domestic supplies of shrimp, tilapia, and clams generated increases in the domestic crawfish price while increases in imported and domestic supplies of beef and imported supplies of pork decreased the domestic crawfish price.

The United States is a large net exporter of corn seeds. Seed trade, including that of corn, has been expanding, but its determinants are not well understood. This paper econometrically investigates the determinants of world demand for U.S. corn seeds with a detailed analysis of trade costs impeding export flows to various markets, including costs associated with distance, tariffs, and sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) regulations. The analysis relies on a gravity-like model based on an explicit specification of derived demand for seed by foreign corn producers, estimated based on data from 48 countries and for the years 1989 to 2004. An SPS count variable is incorporated as a shifter in the unit cost of seeds faced by foreign users. A sample selection...

The market for Australian prime lamb is characterised by high production seasonality and a highly competitive retail demand. Because these factors often translate into substantial market variability, regular forecasts of supply and demand are important requirements of lamb market participants. There has been some forecasting activity in the state and national lamb markets but it has been a somewhat controversial activity. This paper assesses the comparative forecast accuracy of a range of methods in the New South Wales lamb market. The results indicate that no single method is clearly superior in all situations and the greatest scope for improving forecast accuracy in the New South Wales lamb market is through the use of combined econometric and naive...

Communities adjacent to forest are faced with a challenge of balancing their labour allocation decisions to the different household activities. This study was done around Kakamega forest in Western Kenya and examined empirically the factors influencing households’ labour allocation to agriculture, forest and non-farm activities. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data from a random sample of 140 households, on household characteristics and key policy parameters affecting labour allocation.  A labour share model similar to standard models of commodity or factor demand was used in estimation. The study findings indicate that wage returns on each activity positively influence labour allocation. Additionally education level of household head...

ESTIMATES OF DEMAND RELATIONSHIPS FOR APRICOTS AND APRICOT PRODUCTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: French,   Ben C.; Eryilmaz,   Ali; Blackman,   Kathryn.
Apricots are a unique commodity in that they are used in four ways: for fresh markets and for canning, freezing, and drying. This article formulates a model of the demand system for this commodity and presents FIML and 2SLS estimates of the simultaneous components of the system. The empirical findings include estimates of price flexibilities and elasticities  and equations that predict prices and allocations among product forms, given the annual production.

Data from Kansas cattle auctions were analyzed to estimate the impact a wide variety of physical characteristics had upon cow prices. Weight, lot size, health, pregnancy, grade, dressing percent, breed, time of sale, and market location were important factors affecting the differences in cow prices across lots on a given day. Results suggest that producers interested in maximizing the price they receive for their cows should market healthy cows in desirable lot sizes at higher dressing percentages.

Carcass Quality Volume and Grid Pricing: An Investigation of Cause and Effect
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fausti,   Scott W.; Qasmi,   Bashir A.; Li,   Jing.
The relationship between publically reported weekly grid premiums and discounts for specific carcass characteristics and the percentage of those characteristics reflected in total weekly slaughter volume (i.e., proportional slaughter volume) is investigated.  Granger Causality and multi-lag VAR models were used to investigate if grid premiums and discounts were efficiently transmitting market signals to producers with respect to carcass quality attributes.  The empirical evidence indicates that there is little evidence to suggest that grid prices are providing efficient price signals to buyers and sellers with respect to market valuation of desirable and undesirable beef carcass characteristics.

Markenführung in der Fleischwirtschaft – zum Markentransferpotenzial der Marke Wiesenhof
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Luth,   Maren; Spiller,   Achim.
The meat sector is the largest branch in the German food economy. It is characterized by a dominance of cost leadership. Against the background of an increasingly ruinous predatory pricing policy, we analyze the potential of brands introduced into new markets by brand extension. Therefore, consumption-psychological (strength of the parent brand, perceived quality of the parent brand, perceived transfer-fit) as well as economic (conjoint analysis) approaches are applied. The results reveal a group of 25 % of consumers who show a price inelastic buying behaviour and who can be seen as a suitable target group for manufacturer’s brands. The example of the poultry brand Wiesenhof shows that brand extensions are an appropriate tool to introduce brands into the...

Tobacco Product Demand, Cigarette Taxes, and Market Substitution
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Da Pra,   Michelle; Arnade,   Carlos Anthony.
This paper presents a model of estimated demand for four tobacco products: cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, and smoking tobacco products. Own elasticities and cross-price elasticities are used to obtain insights into the effectiveness and implications of new policy measures. Of particular interest is whether substitution of various tobacco products varies by market outlet. Several variations of the tobacco product outlet-choice model were estimated using iterative SUR. Four separate product-specific models where also estimated and represent consumers’ choice of a retail market outlet to purchase a particular tobacco product. In contrast to the joint product-outlet choice model, the two stage budgeting model rests on the assumption that consumers first...

THE STRUCTURE OF FOOD DEMAND IN URBAN CHINA:  A DEMAND SYSTEM APPROACH
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gould,   Brian W.; Sabates,   Ricardo.
The structure of Chinese food demand is examined using a non-homothetic translog indirect utility function.  This analysis uses household level survey data for 3 urban Chinese provinces over the 1995-1997 period.  We improve upon previous studies by incorporating theoretically consistent equivalence scales to account for differences in household size and composition.  These scales allow us to quantify the impact of alternative types of household members on food expenditures.  Similar to previous research we find little evidence of purchase economies with the addition of members although, depending on age, we find statistically significant differences in equivalence values across household member age grouping.

IMPROVING COMPETITIVENESS OF THE AUSTRALIAN SUGAR INDUSTRY BY ANALYSING CANE SUPPLY ARRANGEMENTS ACROSS THE VALUE CHAIN
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Brennan,   Lisa E.; Muchow,   Russell C.; Wegener,   Malcolm K.; Higgins,   Andrew J.
The term “value chain” describes the collection of activities that are performed to design, produce, market, deliver and support a product. The Australian sugar industry value chain has a number of distinct stages involved in the transformation of the cane crop into raw and refined sugar and other manufactured products. These stages include production, processing and distribution functions. Despite its linear direction, a critically important feature of the sugar industry value chain is that it is not a collection of independent activities but a system of interdependent activities. In the Australian sugar industry, there remains a significant degree of segregation in the organisation of growing, milling, and marketing activities, despite the fact that...

U.S. FEEDER CATTLE PRICES:  EFFECTS OF FINANCE AND RISK, COW-CALF AND FEEDLOT TECHNOLOGIES, AND MEXICAN FEEDER IMPORTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Marsh,   John M.
Analysis of U.S. feeder steer prices normally includes fed cattle prices and feed grain costs.  An expanded econometric model which investigates finance cost, profit risk, hay cost, technology, and Mexican feeder cattle import shares is estimated.  Results indicate statistical significance of nearly all variables.  The increase in feeder import shares contributed to $0.60/cwt of the $24.48/cwt decline in real feeder price from 1980-1999.  Improved technology in producing feeder calves had reduced feeder prices more substantially, by $4. 86/cwt from 1980-1999.  Increased feedlot technology through cost savings has increased feeder price.  Feedlot risk management and macro-economic policies affecting the U.S. prime interest rate could continue to affect...

AN OCTOBER PREDICTION OF THE DETROIT NOVEMBER PRICE FOR EGGS AT THE WHOLESALE LEVEL
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lee,   Moon K.
The primary objective of this study is to formulate a multiple regression equation for predicting the November average price of Grade A, white, large eggs delivered in Detroit, Michigan.  To accomplish the objective, several equations will be tried.  The equation with the highest predicting power will be chosen to predict November price in 1970 as of October of that year.  October was chosen on the basis that October price difference between medium and large size affected the November price considerable.  Therefore, the factor just could not be dropped.  The secondary objective in the study is to examine demand elasticities for eggs.  Egg producers and policy makers may have the base in making decisions if egg marketing order is ineffective in the future.

Meeting China’s Demands for Imported Wood and Wood Fibre
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Midgley,   Stephen.
China has developed a large, flourishing and rapidly modernising wood and wood fibre industry. China consumes an estimated 365 million m3 (roundwood equivalent) of wood and wood fibre annually and relies heavily upon imports. These imports increased nearly 10-fold between 1996 and 2004 to 106 million m3, making China the world’s largest importer of forest and wood products. As China enjoys substantial economic growth, buoyant housing construction and improving living standards, it is likely that imports will continue to expand. Wood and wood fibre imports for 2010 are estimated to be about 120 million m3. This growth offers opportunities and challenges for suppliers of raw materials and services. The high demand for wood has resulted in unscrupulous...

Basis Volatilities of Corn and Soybean in Spatially Separated Markets: The Effect of Ethanol Demand
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bekkerman,   Anton; Pelletier,   Denis.
The 2006 spike in corn-based ethanol demand has contributed to the increase in basis volatility in corn and soybean markets across the United States, which has, to a significant degree, led to the observed large jumps in the prices of the two commodities. Despite the overall rise in basis volatility, there remain differences in the degree of volatility that exists across spatially separated markets, which might be caused by factors such as transportation costs, seasonality, and time-to-delivery. The focus of this study is threefold first, this work models basis data for six corn and soybean markets by using a multivariate GARCH model that incorporates the spatial linkages of these markets; next, the model is used to investigate whether the increase in...

Autores: Mekonnen,   Dawit Kelemework; Huang,   Chung L.; Fonsah,   Esendugue Greg.
The Quadratic AIDS model was estimated to analyze the U.S. fruit consumption using annual per capita consumption data and prices for a demand system consisting of fresh fruit, fruit juice and other processed fruit.  All Marshallian own price elasticities are found to be negative and the demand system is dominated by complementarity relationships. Both own and cross price Marshallian elasticities are less than one. Fruit juices are found to be expenditure elastic conditional on the total expenditure on fruits while fresh fruits and other processed fruits are found to be expenditure inelastic. However, fresh fruit is close to being unitary expenditure elastic. After allowing for curvature in the Engel function, U.S. fresh fruit demand is found to be more...

Autores: Dobson,   William D.; Wilcox,   Andrew.
This Discussion Paper focuses on strategic adjustments made by leading international dairy firms in response to world market developments in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Firms whose strategies were analyzed include Fonterra, Nestle, selected other Western European companies (including the Kerry Group and Parmalat), Kraft Foods, Dairy Farmers of America, and Land O'Lakes. In part, the paper describes dairy industry success stories that have implications for a broader group of dairy companies. It also shows how even successful dairy firms have pursued strategies that expose the companies to significant risks. Strategic alliances entered into by the companies received emphasis in the study.

RURAL ASSISTANCE LEVELS: THE INFLUENCE OF POLICIES AND WORLD PRICE CHANGES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Haynes,   J.E.
Two aspects of effective rates of assistance for Australian agricultural industries are examined. The long-term rate, rather than the rate for a single year, is determined and a rationale is sought for the pattern of assistance that emerges. Second, the influence of exogenous factors (as represented by changes in world prices) on assistance rates is examined. Assistance elasticities are calculated for the major agricultural commodities and estimates made of the likely change in the pattern of assistance rates from any general world price change. In addition, commodities with assistance rates potentially very different from existing rates are identified. Price transmission elasticities are also derived to indicate the degree of insulation that the various...

Autores: von Lampe,   Martin.
This paper describes the use of income elasticities for long-term simulations of agricultural world markets, where the parameters are stemming from literature. It discusses the problem of assuming constant elasticities over time. This leads to a formulation where the income elasticities are estimated as a function of income in a cross sectional analysis. Thereby, the reflection of adjustments of consumption patterns due to growing wealth particularly in the rapidly developing Asian economies is improved. The demand for poultry in China is presented as an example, because it showed particularly strong increases in the past.

SHOPPING FOR MEAT: EMPIRICAL DEMAND ESTIMATION FOR NATURAL BEEF ACROSS STORE CHOICES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Thilmany,   Dawn D.; Grannis,   Jennifer L.; Sparling,   Edward.
Conventional supermarkets concentrate on capturing the largest pool of consumers to generate profits from the industry's low margins. Selling to the largest pool of customers means that marketing, promotion, stocking and service decisions are based on the tastes and preferences of an average consumer. Innovators in the grocery industry, recognizing a shift in consumer tastes and preferences, are changing the industry to attract smaller segments of consumers. The theory presented here demonstrates a method to understand the value of product diversification and a model of the gains from providing products that may not have broad appeal to the average customer base. The increase in retail returns through this approach of developing in-store niches lies not in...

Forecasting Consumer Price Indexes for Food: A Demand Model Approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Huang,   Kuo S.
Forecasting food prices is an important component of the U.S. Department of Agricultureís short-term outlook and long-term baseline forecasting activities. A food price-forecasting model is developed by applying an inverse demand system, in which prices are functions of quantities of food use and income. Therefore, these quantity and income variables can be used as explanatory variables for food price changes. The empirical model provides an effective instrument for forecasting consumer price indexes of 16 food categories.

As the public expenditure for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) - formerly the Food Stamp Program (FSP) - increases, improving the effectiveness of the policy becomes pivotal to limit further surges in public spending. Along with social stigma, transaction costs, associated in part to the accessibility and proximity to food outlets, are the main deterrent to program participation. This study presents an empirical assessment of the relationship between food access and FSP participation among eligible population.

PARAMETER STABILITY AND THE U.S. DEMAND FOR BEEF
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Moschini,   GianCarlo; Meilke,   Karl D.
The main objective of this paper is to test the hypothesis that consumer preferences for beef in the United States have been affected by structural change, which reduces to testing for parameter stability in estimated demand equations.  To this end, alternative specifications of the demand function are estimated using a general form of the Box-Cox transformation.  Tests based on recursive residuals and on the F distribution provide little evidence of structural change, and suggest that the recent decline in beef consumption may be explained by changes in relative prices.

Personal interviews were conducted with beef cattle producers in Louisiana to determine their preferences and purchase decisions for livestock price insurance. Conjoint analysis was utilized to determine the importance of selected attributes of insurance policies for these producers. The characteristics of producers who prefer given attributes were also identified. Producers rated products given four economic situations to evaluate. A two-limit tobit model was used to estimate the part worth utility values for each attribute. Univariate probit models were estimated to evaluate the influence of producer characteristics on purchase decisions.

Food legumes in Sub-Saharan Africa play a vital role by being a source of livelihood for millions of people; and offer tremendous potential to contribute to the alleviation of malnutrition among resource-poor farmers. They contribute to the sustainability of cropping systems and soil fertility. Cowpea and dry beans are the two main food legume crops grown in Sub-Saharan Africa. Area harvested under all food legumes was more than 20 million ha in 2006-08, representing 28% of the global food legume area harvested. Yields are low compared to other developing and developed countries; however they have increased at an annual rate of 1.6% with an increase in production of 3.9% per year. The region has stayed a net importer over the period. Price has increased 5%...

An option-value model is developed to analyze the impacts of output price uncertainty, high sunk costs of adoption, and site-specific conditions on the optimal timing of adoption of two interrelated site-specific technologies, soil testing and variable rate technology (VRT).  The model incorporates the potential for adopting these two technologies jointly or sequentially.  The implications of the pattern of adoption for nitrogen pollution and for the design of a cost-share subsidy policy to accelerate the adoption of these technologies to reduce nitrogen pollution are also analyzed.  Ignoring the potential for sequential adoption would tend to underpredict the adoption so soil testing and overpredict the adoption of VRT.  Cost-share subsidies to induce...

Marketing, cooperatives and price heterogeneity: evidence from the CIS dairy sector
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Sauer,   Johannes; Gorton,   Matthew; White,   John.
Drawing on survey data, this paper identifies the determinants of variations in farm gate milk prices for three CIS countries (Armenia, Moldova and Ukraine). We apply a multi-level modeling approach, specifically a bootstrapped mixed-effects linear regression model. The analysis suggests three main strategies to improve the price received by farmers for their output: consolidation, competition for output and stable supply chain relationships. In Armenia and Ukraine selling through a marketing cooperative has a significant, positive, albeit modest, effect on farm gate milk prices. In all three countries studied, the size of dairy operations, trust and contracting also affect positively the prices received by farmers.

The hypothesis of structural change in Greek meat demand was tested in a four meat dynamic almost ideal demand system. A gradual structural change was found. The estimated path of structural change implies a gradual transition to a new regime in the beginning of the decade of 80's. The structural change is biased towards pork and chicken and against beef and lamb &amp; mutton and it does not affect the estimated elasticities concerning their elastic/inelastic nature but only the magnitude.

In their continuous quest for ecologic improvements, private voluntary certification initiatives might undermine the willingness to continue of the participating farmers. In this research, the ecologic contribution and the farmers’ acceptance of changing the pesticide policy of a private certification initiative is presented. To measure the perceived farmers’ disutility, the choice preference technique is used. We can conclude that there is room for ecologic improvements but that farmers are in general change averse, primarily because of the fear that price compensation will remain largely absent.

Autores: Sanders,   Daniel J.; Balagtas,   Joseph Valdes; Gruere,   Guillaume P.
The production, trade, and market share of palm oil has shown impressive growth in the last two decades. As a result of sustainability concerns over issues such as deforestation in Indonesia, the causes of the growth in the palm oil market have received considerable attention.  The growth of the biofuels market is one potential culprit that has been notably discussed, but it is not the only possible driver of growth in the palm oil market.  Restrictions on genetically-modified organisms may have played a role, especially as they relate to limits on oil produced from GMO soybeans.  Additionally, increasing concerns over health issues such as trans-fats may have spurred substitution to the low trans-fats palm oil.  This analysis details some of the changes...

Poverty and health behaviour: Comparing socioeconomic status and a combined poverty indicator as a determinant of health behaviour
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Aue,   Katja; Roosen,   Jutta.
Studies in the area of health economics and public health have shown that low socioeconomic status (SES) and poverty are related to lower levels of health. Attempts to explain these differences have often made reference to the observation that poor health behaviours cluster in low SES respectively poverty groups. However, relatively little attention has been paid to the defining concept of SES and its appropriate measurement. Therefore data from the German Socio-Economic Panel are used to analyse the relationship between two multidimensional measurements to describe a) poverty respectively b) a low SES and health behaviour, including dietary behaviour, weight status and health behaviour in general. This study shows that both multidimensional indicators...

Autores: Davis,   George C.
Consumers' willingness to pay for natural Christmas tree characteristics are estimated.  Differences in willingness to pay for characteristics by specie knowledge and lack of specie knowledge are tested.  Differences in willingness to pay for characteristics by specie are also tested.  The results suggests that willingness to pay measures differ by these separations of the sample and, ceteris paribus, sellers of natural Christmas trees could benefit by altering characteristics in accordance with the results of these sample separation tests.

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF AGRICULTURAL TRACTOR INVESTMENT MODELS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Vanzetti,   David; Quiggin,   John C.
An implicit rental price approach is used to analyse the determinants of farm tractor investment at the aggregate level. Three models, based on different assumed factor substitutabilities, are compared. Variations in the rental price of tractors appear to have less effect on demand than variations in factors affecting the profitability of the cropping enterprise as a whole. The implications for forecasting and for policy instruments, such as the investment allowance, are discussed.

Take off the heater: Utility effect and food environment effect in food consumption decisions
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lombardini-Riipinen,   Chiara; Lankoski,   Leena.
In this paper, we describe individual food consumption decisions as driven by a utility effect and a food environment effect. To outline the utility effect, we first develop a new theoretical model of individual food consumption. Next, we introduce the food environment effect by showing how the food environment can affect food consumption decisions and how this can skew the resulting food consumption vector. Finally, we analyse manipulations of the food environment as a potential form of policy intervention. Our key result is that the food environment has several entry points in food consumption decisions and that libertarian paternalistic manipulations of the food environment can be effective, easily implemented, well-accepted and low-cost intervention...

Scheduling and Routing Milk from Farm to Processors by a Cooperative
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Prasertsri,   Peerapon; Kilmer,   Richard L.
A milk marketing cooperative (MMC) was created by Florida dairy farmers to link the primary supply of fluid milk with the derived demand of processors in the vertical market. For any given milk supply, the revenue or return to farmers per unit of milk is the average milk price received by the MMC minus the MMC’s transfer cost. An important task for the MMC is to operate the fluid milk hauling system that optimizes the MMC’s milk transfer cost (routing and scheduling cost) subject to farm and plant schedules. The objective of this study is to determine if it is economically feasible to implement a more efficient routing and scheduling of farm-to-plant milk collection by the MMC.

Functional Food emerged as a constant segment in the European food market and offer potential for product innovations which make them attractive for the food industry in nearly stagnating markets. Target group research is one key factor for successful innovative food products. The aim of this project was to develop and test a Functional Food related consumer segmentation model. For this purpose a survey was conducted in Germany, the United Kingdom, Poland and Spain with a total of 590 respondents. Factor analysis revealed consumers' motivation to buy or to refuse Functional Food. Motives, consumers' knowledge about Functional Food, their trust towards diverse actors in the context of nutrition and their purchase pattern were used in a cluster analysis and...

Do Consumers Pay for Being Healthy Conscious?— An Analysis of Price Discrimination on Healthier Food Product
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Zhan,   Congnan.
‘Healthier food product’ has experienced a rapid growth rate in recent years in U.S. because of the increasing consumer demand for healthier and environmental friendlier lifestyle. This analysis is looking for price discrimination evidences by comparing price cost margins of regular food products and healthier food products. Price cost margins are computed by solving firms' profit maximization problem and relevant parameters are estimated from consumers' choice decisions. Specifically, price elasticities and price coefficients are estimated using nonlinear GMM estimation in order to construct price cost margin. The empirical analysis employs product level ketchup data across 50 MSA in U.S. from 2001 to 2006.

What Price for the Right to Go a-Droving? A Derived Demand Approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Marshall,   Graham R.; Cacho,   Oscar J.; John,   Fatmata.
Travelling stock reserves (TSRs) were established in Australia as a way of allowing the passage of livestock through settled lands to facilitate stocking of new lands. Subsequently, they remained important as a way of moving livestock from property to property or from property to market. Today, the area of land dedicated to TSRs in NSW is estimated at 2.3 million hectares, which are used more as a source of feed than as a livestock thoroughfare. The value of TSRs as a source of feed is particularly important during drought periods, and pricing of access for walking stock has become a subject of contention within the Rural Land Protection Boards (RLPB). The price of TSR permits for walking stock is considerably lower than for agistment, thereby compromising...

Autores: Liu,   Kang Ernest; Chern,   Wen S.
Functional form specification is a crucial task in demand analysis. Four food demand systems for 12 aggregated food items in urban China are estimated and compared using province level data for the period 1992-1999. The results show the expenditure elasticities especially for grain are different based on the functional form selection. According to the measures of forecasting accuracy, we conclude the following: for ex post simulation, the simpler the models, the better the performances, whereas for ex ante forecasting, the more complicated the model, the better the predictions. We further conclude that the LES and QES outperform the LA/AIDS and AIDS. Therefore, model selection should depend on the study purpose. In addition, as urban Chinese household...

Consumers' preferences for meat quality attributes such as color influence their purchasing decisions. Better understanding of consumer preferences can help meat processors and others attain effective product development and marketing and inform public policy decisions on nutrition and food safety education. Modified atmosphere packaging extends the shelf-life of fresh meat and, with the inclusion of carbon monoxide, achieves dramatic color stabilization. The value that US and German consumers' place on ground beef packaging techniques was quantifies by means of non-hypothetical choice experiments. The studies' results can benefit food producers and retailers who make decisions about investing in new packaging methods by providing quantitative measures of...

Analysis of Expected Price Dynamics Between Fluid Milk Futures Contracts and Cash Prices for Fluid Milk
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fortenbery,   T. Randall; Cropp,   Robert A.; Zapata,   Hector O.
Future contracts for fluid milk began trading in late 1995 and early 1996. This paper investigates the potential use of fluid milk futures contracts as hedge vehicles for dairy producers in the Upper Midwest and California markets. This is done by developing simulated futures prices for the period 1988 to 1995. The simulated futures prices are used to estimate basis relationships between cash and futures prices for the markets considered. Results suggest that the fluid milk futures contracts could be used to reduce market price risk for producers in the Upper Midwest. Results were less conclusive for California producers.

In this paper, we aim to model the vertical relation between retailers and suppliers in the food industry whereby retailers exercise seller power in their relation with consumers and buyer power in their relation with producers. We then evaluate the degree of price transmission, relative to the perfectly competitive benchmark, from the farm to the retail sector assuming a supply shock. With the view to evaluating the impact of market power's interaction with industry technology on the degree of price transmission, we assume industry technology to be characterised by variable input proportions and non-constant returns to scale. Our model predicts that, relative to that which obtains when markets are perfectly competitive and industry technology is...

We estimate price formation in the sweet cherry market using an inverse demand system with farm-level price and quantity data from states in the Pacific Northwest and California. Between 0.60 and 0.78 of the variation in annual cherry price is explained by the states’ production, domestic consumption, and exports. Washington and California prices are most responsive to their own quantity. Output flexibilities indicate that Oregon is responsive to a change in quantity supplied to the domestic market. Results also indicate that cherry price is most sensitive to quantity supplied to the export and domestic markets.

THE FORMAL LOGIC OF TESTING STRUCTURAL CHANGE IN MEAT DEMAND: A METHODOLOGICAL ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Davis,   George C.
In the past two decades, the profession has expended valuable resources testing structural change in meat demand with mixed results. Overlooked to date is a fundamental methodological problem that transcends all of the methods of testing for structural change.  In this study, a formal logic framework is utilized in which methodological problems associated with any hypothesis test can be analyzed.  Within this framework, it is proven that there is no valid test of any single hypothesis, including structural change.  Because of this result, additional criteria from the methodology literature are then used to evaluate the literature on structural change in meat demand.

EXCHANGE RATE EFFECTS ON CANADIAN/U.S. AGRICULTURAL PRICES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)

Exchange rate effects on prices in Canada and the United States are evaluated for five traded farm outputs (wheat, soybeans, corn, feeder steers, and slaughter steers) and four traded non-farm-produced inputs (fertilizer, pesticides, petroleum, and farm machinery). Unit root tests suggest the series are stationary in first differences. Short-run dynamic models based on the differences specification adopted earlier by Carter, Grey and Furtan (1990) are re-estimated using similar data over an extended period that encompasses recent exchange rate movements. The analysis confirms that short-run adjustments toward the law of one price occur for the five agricultural outputs and to a lesser extent for the three intermediate inputs, while such price adjustment is...

FARM PRICE ESTIMATION WHEN THERE IS BARGAINING:  THE CASE OF PROCESSED FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: French,   Ben C.
Raw product prices for many processed fruits and vegetables are determined in part as an outcome of negotiations between processors and farmer bargaining associations. In such cases, unique market equilibrium solutions may not exist. This study develops a framework for price prediction under bargaining and applies it to the California cling peach industry. The price prediction equation turns out to involve the same variables as would a model specified for perfect competition. Hence a mistaken assumption about the structure of competition may still provide a model that predicts well, provided the structure remains constant.

PRICE TRANSMISSION, THRESHOLD BEHAVIOR, AND ASYMMETRIC ADJUSTMENT IN THE U.S. PORK SECTOR
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Goodwin,   Barry K.; Harper,   Daniel C.
The US pork sector has experienced many significant structural changes in recent years.  Such changes may have influenced price dynamics and transmission of shocks through marketing channels.  We investigate linkages among farm, wholesale, and retail markets using weekly price data for the period covering 1987 through 1998.  Our analysis uses a threshold cointegration model that permits asymmetric adjustment to positive and negative price shocks.  Our results reveal important asymmetries.  Our results are consistent with existing literature which has determined that price adjustment patterns are unidirectional and that information tends to flow from farm, to wholesale, to retail markets.

The U.S. market for commoditized beef is a dynamic one that has, over the last 30 years, seen decreases in per capita consumption and an increased reliance on large, integrated feedlot facilities that focus on efficient weight gain and producing carcasses deemed desirable according the USDA quality grading system.  Because of the problems inherent in the conventional production system and the existence of farm-to-retail price spreads that do not favor primary cow-calf producers, analyses of alternative beef production and marketing strategies that facilitate enhanced profitability and simultaneously address surging consumer demand for specialty food products are necessary.  To that end, focus of the current study was on the market potential for grass-fed...

Price search enables consumers to overcome information asymmetries, it can lead to a reduction in price dispersion and it can increase consumer surplus, but search is costly. In this paper, an internet survey is conducted among a random sample of 490 drivers in the State of Ohio to answer the question, when are consumers more likely to search? The internet survey affords us the opportunity to impose exogenous price changes in a random sample of gasoline consumers to examine the decision-making process behind intended search decisions. Results indicate that among the respondents who faced prices below their expected price, only 12% chose to search, whereas 45% searched when prices were above. Results suggest that asymmetric search can be explained by...

Vector-autoregressive-moving-average (VARMA) modeling was used to identify distributed lag relationships among farm tractor derived demand variables and to provide a basis for formally testing the hypothesis that the price of new tractor horsepower is exogeneous to its quantity demanded. Similar causality tests were used for a number of other explanatory variables, including the interest rate, price of diesel fuel, and price of used tractors. Results indicate that several lagged variables are significant causal factors and that the dynamic nature of the demand structure cannot be ignored when explaining tractor demand.

The purpose of the research in this paper is to investigate the impact of differentiated vertical strategies by agricultural biotechnology firms in the U.S. cottonseed market. The model advances the measurement of industry concentration to consider substitution/complementarity relationships among differentiated products delivered under different vertical structures. We find evidence of sub-additive pricing in the stacking of bundled biotech traits. Prices paid by farmers for cottonseed sold under vertical integration are found to be higher than under licensing. The model is flexible and allows for evaluation of the effects of changing market structures. The parameters on traditional measures of concentration indicate that higher concentration leads to...

The effect of forest land use on the cost of drinking water supply: A spatial econometric analysis
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Abildtrup,   Jens; Garcia,   Serge; Stenger,   Anne.
Forest land use is often associated with the protection of water resources from contamination and the reduced cost of drinking water supply. This study attempted to measure the value of the forest on the quality of water resources from a contingent market, namely drinking water supply, by estimating variations in drinking water costs as a function of variations in land uses. Spatial correlations were taken into account because of the use of different geographical scales (i.e., water service area and land uses) and the potential existence of organizational and technological spillovers between water services. We found a significant negative effect of forest land use on water costs. We found no evidence of spatial spillovers concerning the management regime...

The dramatic rise in world food prices since 2007 has commanded the world’s attention. However, in recent months, world food prices have fallen almost as rapidly as they had risen in late 2007 and early 2008, yet as is demonstrated in this report, domestic food price levels in many eastern and southern African markets are not closely tracking world prices. Fertilizer prices remain at unprecedentedly high levels and may have a critical influence on future food production levels in the region. Against this backdrop, there is an urgent need for information about how the current food situation is unfolding in the region, the immediate policy response options, and the longer-term challenges and opportunities.

U.S. KIWIFRUIT INDUSTRY MODEL: ANNUAL SUPPLY AND MONTHLY DEMAND
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Peterson,   Hikaru Hanawa; Willett,   Lois Schertz.
A dynamic econometric model of the U.S. kiwifruit industry provides a framework for empirical analysis of small-scale commodities, particularly those used by producers for diversification.  Production and marketing processes are explained by annual and monthly components, respectively. Results confirm that plantings were speculative and that economic feasibility critically impacts acreage retention as the industry matures.  Prices at alternative outlets and fruit quality in storage affect monthly shipments.  Flexibilities of monthly f.o.b. prices imply elastic kiwifruit demand, and imports are found to be substitutes.  The industry could increase its average annual gross revenue by marketing the crop earlier in the season.

Many countries in the world have adopted genetically modified organisms as products that can have great beneficial impact on agriculture, industry and trade. However, to date for the whole of Africa, only South Africa has commercialized genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Realizing the high transactions costs—particularly in trade that may underlie different countries having varying policy stances on biotechnology, COMESA (COMESA—Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa, is a regional grouping of 20 countries. In the context of this study, Tanzania is also included although it is not a COMESA member. This is because it belongs to the Association for Strengthening Agricultural Research in Eastern and Central Africa (ASARECA) of which nine countries...

Context-Dependent BSE Impacts on Canadian Food-at-Home Beef Purchases
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Maynard,   Leigh J.; Wang,   Xin.
Household-level Canadian scanner data from 2002 – 2005 were used to identify consumer reactions to the early BSE discoveries that severely impacted Canada’s beef industry.  In all provinces, consumers reacted to the initial BSE event by purchasing more beef, apparently to support struggling ranchers.  Subsequent BSE events, however, met with reduced beef purchases.  The results were consistent across three measures of monthly beef purchases: participation, units purchased, and beef expenditure share.  Failing to account for the context of individual BSE events would have produced little evidence of consumer reaction, a common finding among prior North American BSE studies.

Autores: Heckelei,   Thomas; Krebs,   Elvira; Mollmann,   Claus; von Lampe,   Martin.
This paper presents a short comparative analysis of USDA and FAPRI projections for world wheat market prices until 2005. The relevance of different model assumptions regarding assumed inflation, exchange rates, policy parameters as well as shifts in demand and production development are discussed. A subsequent section focuses on the problem of a "world market price concept" for evaluating the potential of unsubsidized EU cereal exports. The Annex provides more detailed information on model assumptions and a comparison of other projected values, also including agricultural products other than wheat.

Ninety-five consumers in seven grocery stores tasted unidentified peeled sections of three mandarins (a tangerine, a satsuma, and a clementine), and provided demographic and purchase information. Forty-four percent of the respondents preferred tangerines, 34 percent satsumas, and 22 percent clementines. The probability of preferring each of type of mandarin was estimated from internal quality analysis of paired samples, as well as from demographic and purchase responses. Model simulations were used to recommend harvest standards for satsumas based on Brix-to-acid ratios.

Consumer Panelist Behavior in Experimental Auctions: What Do We Learn From Their Bids?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Umberger,   Wendy J.; Feuz,   Dillon M.
Experimental economics procedures such as laboratory experimental auctions are increasingly being used to measure consumers' willingness-to-pay. A sealed-bid, fourth-price Vickrey-style auction was used to measure consumers' willingness-to-pay for flavor in beef steaks. Two hundred and forty-eight consumers from Chicago and San Francisco participated in the experimental auctions. The data gathered from these experimental auctions was then used to examine individual demand or utility in an experimental, uniform-price auction; and to analyze market demand and market price in an experimental auction when supply is fixed but demand varies. The results indicated that certain demographic variables may increase the probability that a participant wins or loses an...

TESTING FOR DISEQUILIBRIUM IN THE DEMAND FOR AGRICULTURAL INPUTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: LeBlanc,   Michael; Lutton,   Thomas.
A dynamic system of cost-share equations for agricultural inputs is used to test for the presence of input disequilibrium.  This dynamic system incorporates a disequilibrium adjustment process into input-share equations derived from a translog cost function.  The disequilibrium process is represented as a generalized partial adjustment model where disequilibrium in one input may affect other inputs.  Results from this analysis suggest applications of translog share systems to agriculture under static equilibrium assumptions are inappropriate.

Cross-Hedging Distillers Dried Grains Using Corn and Soybean Meal Futures Contracts
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Brinker,   Adam J.; Parcell,   Joseph L.; Dhuyvetter,   Kevin C.; Franken,   Jason R.V.
Ethanol mandates have led to an increase in the production of distillers dried grains (DDGs), a co-product of ethanol production that is incorporated into livestock rations. As with most competitive industries, there is some level of price risk in handling DDGs, and there is no DDG futures contract available for managing price risk. Commonly, DDGs are hedged using only corn futures. Our results suggest that cross-hedge risk may be reduced by including soybean meal futures in an encompassing cross-hedge strategy. Further, we also conclude soybean meal futures currently may be slightly more effective at reducing risk than in the past.

Sales of organic milk in mainstream supermarkets have grown over the last 8 years, reaching $75.7 million in 1999, as more organic milk processors enter the market and more mainstream supermarkets sell organic products. National-level scanner data for mainstream supermarkets are employed to assess market shares and price premiums, as well as to estimate key demand elasticities. Container size is important in analyzing market shares for organics. Half-gallon containers are the principle organic market with volume shares ranging from 1.6% to 2.8% in 1999. Market shares for quarts and gallons of organic milk are considerably below 0.5%. Price premiums for organic milk averaged 60% of branded prices and 75% of private-label prices during the study period...

Regional Wholesale Price Relationships:  The Case of Peaches
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Aguilar,   Cristobal; Raper,   Kellie Curry; Thornsbury,   Suzanne.
An important characteristic of agricultural commodity markets is the extent to which those markets respond to price changes in related markets.  Given a competitive market structure, the Law of One Price (LOP) postulates that spatial price relationships are determined by transfer cost1 among regions and that spatial arbitrage restores market equilibrium (Tomek and Robinson, 2003).  Spatial price relationships are of particular relevance to farmers in designing market strategies.  Measurements of spatial price relationships provide insights about the dynamics of price movements, thus increasing understanding of likely behavior of supply or demand areas in the market (Jordan and Van Sickle, 1998).  For example, knowledge of which regions lead prices, the...

Mangelhafte Reformen in der Landwirtschaft Kasachstans am Anfang der Transformationsperiode sowie die Finanzkrise 1998 hatten stark negative Auswirkungen auf den Umfang und die Struktur der landwirtschaftlichen Produktion. Wegen der schwierigen finanziellen Lage Anfang bis Ende der 90-ger Jahre haben viele Landwirtschaftsunternehmen und Farmwirtschaften die Tierbestände fast vollständig abgeschafft und sich auf die Getreideproduktion spezialisiert. Die Tierhaltung befindet sich überwiegen in privaten Hauswirtschaften1. In vielen Betrieben wird Weizen als Monokultur angebaut. Solche enge Spezialisierung birgt erhebliche Produktions- und Preisrisiken, bedroht die Liquidität der Betriebe und führt zur Erschöpfung der Böden. Dabei bestehen gute Voraussetzungen...

To know the Spanish homes reasons of purchasing broiler meat a survey of 1,000 families, by means of a 13 question interview, was carried out during 2007. After processing the information it was concluded that Spanish families purchase food an average of 2.34 times/week, 95% of which do not exceed 100 € and, with the exception of more than 400 € purchases, in more than 90% of which broiler meat accounts for more than 14% of the spent budget. Broiler meat is bought near home, in butcher’s shops or supermarkets, with purchases via telephone or the internet being marginal. The main declared benefits of consuming broiler meat were the low fat content, being a healthy meat, and being proper in a healthy diet. Surprisingly, 72% of interviewees did not see any...

How Retail Beef and Bread Prices Respond to Changes in Ingredient and Input and Costs
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Roeger,   Edward; Leibtag,   Ephraim S.
The extent to which cost changes pass through a vertically organized production process depends on the value added by each producer in the chain as well as a number of other organizational and marketing factors at each stage of production. Using 36 years of monthly Bureau of Labor Statistics price indices data (1972-2008), we model pass-through behavior for beef and bread, two retail food items with different levels of processing. Both the farm-to-wholesale and wholesale-to-retail price responses are modeled to allow for the presence of structural breaks in the underlying long-term relationships between price series. Broad differences in price behavior are found not only between food categories (retail beef prices respond more to farm-price changes than do...

This study examines the time-varying Japanese price reactions to the 2001 Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) discovery, the 2000 outbreak of foot and mouth disease (FMD), and the 1996 E. coli food po isoning events. Historical decomposition of retail-level price-series aids in explaining the behavior of beef prices in a neighborhood (period-by-period time interval) of the three events. This is based on an application of directed acyclic graphs, constructing orthogonal innovations to determine causal patterns behind contemporaneous innovations. The results show the beef safety events had different negative impacts on Japanese retail beef prices, suggesting that consumers understood and differentiated among the health risks. The results provide...

This paper examines the impact of marketing cooperatives on smallholder commercialization of cereals using detailed household data in rural Ethiopia. We use the strong government role in promoting the establishment of cooperatives to justify the use of propensity score matching in order to compare households that are cooperative members to similar households in comparable areas without cooperatives. The analysis reveals that while cooperatives obtain higher prices for their members, they are not associated with a significant increase in the overall share of cereal production sold commercially by their members. However, these average results hide considerable heterogeneity in the impact across households. In particular, we find smaller farmers tend reduce...

Autores: Islam,   Nabiul.
The analysis carries out demand projections for poultry products and poultry feeds in Bangladesh over the next 20 years. Using separate rural and urban consumption data and income elasticities of demand, the national consumption of eggs is projected to be 5,866 million for 2020. The corresponding consumption of meat is projected to be 307 thousand tons. The estimated use of grains (wheat and maize) as poultry feeds ranges from 867 to 898 thousand tons for the year 2020, depending on the approach adopted. The requirement of wheat as poultry feed is only 8 per cent of the total domestic production while the requirement of maize as poultry feed is as high as nearly 8 times its domestic production.

AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF THE DEMAND FOR WHOLESALE PORK PRIMALS: SEASONALITY AND STRUCTURAL CHANGE
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Parcell,   Joseph L.
A set of inverse wholesale pork primal demand models are estimated to determine the own-quantity flexibility, to ascertain seasonal price fluctuations, and to examine whether the flexibilities change in absolute magnitude over time.  Results indicate that the own-quantity flexibility varied within the year.  Also, it is determined that the own-quantity flexibility increased in magnitude (absolute value) over time for some of the primal cuts evaluated.  However, for Hams the price flexibility became positive after early 1998.  An increase in cold storage stocks of Hams may have led to the positive own-quantity flexibility and cold storage stocks may have been used to offset the potential Ham price decline of 1998.

An analysis of current and forecasted Mexican meat consumption and imports is presented at the table cut level of disaggregation. Unlike previous studies, this study uses adult equivalence scales, a price imputation approach, a consistent censored demand system, and estimation techniques from stratified sampling. The results indicate that most Mexican consumption and imports of table cuts of meats grow at different rates. In addition, Mexico seems to be following the U.S. preferences for beef cuts, but it does not seem to be following the U.S. preferences for chicken cuts.

The market for organic food has been growing 20% per year for the past nine years. Fruits and vegetables are a large part of the organic market, accounting for more than $670 million in retail sales annually. This presents an opportunity for entry of new agricultural producers, and the expansion of existing organic growers.  Similarly to other businesses, organic producers will succeed by providing customer value. The best opportunity for organic growers to achieve this is to focus on increasing the perceived benefits of the product. Examples of benefits for organic growers to focus on are: favorable environmental impacts, positive health benefits, and positive effects on the local economy.  Since the market for organic fruits and vegetables is currently...

Determinants of Consumer Preferences for Regional Food
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Henseleit,   Meike; Kubitzki,   Sabine; Teuber,   Ramona.
In recent years an increasing consumer preference for regional food can be observed, both in Germany and in other European countries. Regression models investigating this region-of-origin effect are rare and in most cases the region or sample size under consideration is quite small. Different from that, the present study is based on a representative data set for Germany. Our objective is to identify and quantify the determining factors of consumers’ preferences for regional food. Therefore, a theoretical construct is proposed and tested empirically by using a binary logit model. The results indicate that cognitive and normative factors are the main determinants on consumer preference for regional food, whereas affective and socio-demographic variables only...

Global general and partial equilibrium models focused on the agricultural sector can help policy makers do ex-ante analysis by providing a variety of macro-level outcomes, such as changes in flows of international trade, and changes in the supply, demand, and prices of globally traded commodities. IFPRI’s IMPACT model (International Model for Policy Analysis of Agricultural Commodities and Trade) model is one such model. Since its inception nearly 20 years ago the model has evolved to inform increasingly complex and nuanced policy issues, such as the explicit modeling of water use and the productive response of agriculture to climate change.  However, on the demand side it has remained a fairly blunt instrument.  One oft mentioned shortcoming of global...

Autores: McCluskey,   Jill J.; Grimsrud,   Kristine M.; Ouchi,   Hiromi; Wahl,   Thomas I.
The discovery of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as ‘mad cow disease’, in Japan caused anxiety about consuming beef and beef products. As a result, there was a sudden fall in sales of beef that hurt the Japanese beef industry as well as major beef exporters to Japan. We analyse factors that affect Japanese consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) price premiums for BSE-tested beef and estimate the mean WTP for BSE-tested beef using data obtained from a consumer survey in Japan. A single-bounded dichotomous choice contingent valuation model is used to recover the premium amount. We find that attitudes to food safety, reduction in beef consumption following the BSE outbreak, and being female all have a statistically significant positive...

LIVESTOCK PRICING IN THE NORTHERN KENYAN RANGELANDS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Barrett,   Christopher B.; Chabari,   Francis; Bailey,   DeeVon; Coppock,   D. Layne; Little,   Peter D.
This paper uses detailed, transactions-level data and a structural-heteroskedasticity-in-mean model to identify the determinants of livestock producer prices for pastoralists in the drylands of northern Kenya.  The empirical results confirm the importance of animal characteristics, periodic events that predictably shift local demand or supply, and especially rainfall on the prices pastoralists receive for animals.  Price risk premia are consistently negative in these livestock markets.  The imposition of quarantines has a sharp negative effect on expected producer prices in the pastoral areas, revealing a distributionally regressive approach to animal disease control in Kenya.

A CROSS-SPECTRAL APPROACH TO MEASURING PRICING EFFICIENCY IN THE NEW SOUTH WALES PIGMEAT MARKET
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Griffith,   Garry R.
This paper is concerned with determining the nature of and the relationships between movements in a number of New South Wales pig and pork price series. Spectral and cross-spectral methods are applied to some ten series differentiated by type of pig and market level. Results indicate that over the long term there are in general strong correlations between the various price pairings examined, but that in the shorter-run, price changes are not well reflected throughout the pig market. The role of imperfect information is noted as a major contributor to this observed short-run price independence.

Valuing the Roundup Ready® Soybean Weed Management Program
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Aultman,   Stephen; Hurley,   Terrance M.; Mitchell,   Paul D.; Frisvold,   George B.
This study examines soybean grower adoption of the Roundup Ready® (RR) weed management program with and without a residual herbicide application, and grower concerns regarding weed resistance to herbicides using telephone survey data from of 357 growers in 2007.  It also estimates the pecuniary and non-pecuniary benefits enjoyed by growers from their RR program.  The results indicate that soybean growers planned to treat 29 percent of their RR acres with a residual herbicide in 2008.  More than half (53%) of the growers survey were concerned about weed resistance.  The estimated expected benefit of the RR program in 2008 was $10.17 per acre, which translates into about $727 million with 75.7 million acres of soybean in the U.S. in 2008.  The estimated...

Violence, Political Instability, and International Trade: Evidence from Kenya’s Cut Flower Sector
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Muhammad,   Andrew; D'Souza,   Anna; Amponsah,   William A.
Abstract:  We assess whether and how violence and political instability affect trade between developed and developing countries considering the special case of EU imports of Kenyan roses after the 2007/08 post-election violence and political instability in Kenya. Using the Rotterdam model to estimate EU demand for roses from Kenya and other global competitors, we find evidence of a structural change in the import growth rate for Kenya, approximately equivalent to an 18.6% tariff. These results highlight the importance of non-tariff barriers to trade and contribute to the growing literature on the role of insecurity and instability in hindering international trade.

FORECASTING AGRICULTURAL PRICES USING A BAYESIAN COMPOSITE APPROACH
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: McIntosh,   Christopher S.; Bessler,   David A.
Forecast users and market analysts need quality forecast information to improve their decision-making abilities.  When more than one forecast is available, the analyst can improve forecast accuracy by using a composite forecast.  One of several approaches to forming composite forecasts is a Bayesian approach using matrix beta priors.  This paper explains the matrix beta approach and applies it to three individual forecasts of U.S. hog prices.  The Bayesian composite forecast is evaluated relative to composites made from simple averages, restricted least squares, and an adaptive weighting technique.

DEMAND ESTIMATION FOR AGRICULTURAL PROCESSING CO-PRODUCTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Novak,   Patrick J.; Wachenheim,   Cheryl J.; DeVuyst,   Eric A.; Lambert,   David K.
Co-products of processing agricultural commodities are often marketed through private transaction rather than through public markets or those in which public transaction information is recorded or available.  The resulting lack of historical price information prohibits the use of positive time series techniques to estimate demand.  Demand estimates for co-products are of value to both livestock producers, who obtain them for use in livestock rations, and processors, who must sell or otherwise dispose of them.  Linear programming has long been used, first by researchers and later as a mainstream tool for nutritionists and producers, to formulate least cost livestock rations.  Here it is used as a normative technique to estimate step function demand...

Autores: Ward,   Clement E.; Lusk,   Jayson L.; Dutton,   Jennifer M.
To identify the value consumers place on observable characteristics of fresh beef products, primary data were collected on over 1,350 packages of beef from 66 randomly selected grocery stores located in three metropolitan areas--Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Denver, Colorado.  Estimated linear and log-linear hedonic models reveal ground beef prices were significantly influenced by store location (i.e., metropolitan area) and store type, fat content, package size and type, expiration date, brand category, and special labels.  Factors influencing steak prices included store location, product type, quality grade, package size and type, brand category, and special labels.

The long-term reduction of hunger and poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa remains one of the great challenges for the International development community. Poverty in Africa is predominately rural, majority of the poor people live in rural areas and are dependent on food production through farming or livestock keeping for most of their livelihood. It is estimated that over two hundred million people in Sub-Saharan Africa live in extreme poverty and among these are the rural poor in Eastern and Southern Africa where the worlds highest concentration of poor people are found. Given Agriculture’s central role in the region’s economies, can agriculture play a major role in poverty alleviation? How can Africa’s role in poverty reduction be enhanced? What could be done...

THE DEMAND FOR FRUIT JUICES:  MARKET PARTICIPATION AND QUANTITY DEMANDED
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Brown,   Mark G.
The quantity demanded in a market can be decomposed into two components: the number of purchasers and the quantity per purchaser.  Focusing on these two components, the demands for different types of single-flavor fruit juice commodities are analyzed.  The approach allows the market demand elasticities to be estimated as the sum of elasticity estimates for the numbers of purchasers and the elasticity estimates for the quantities per purchaser.  The method of seemingly unrelated regressions is employed to estimate the equations for the two demand components for the different types of juice.

Autores: Kiiru,   Joy M.; Mburu,   John G.; Klaus,   Flohberg.
Although microfinance has elicited different reactions from different stakeholders, there seems to be a general agreement that it is useful in reducing poverty. This study is an attempt to contribute in to the debate on the impact of microfinance on household incomes. We use a pooled data set collected from the south western part of Makueni district in Kenya to study the households’ access to microfinance credit and how the credit affects their incomes. We control for household selection bias as well as endogenity problems in the sample. Cross sectional analysis fails to show any significant positive impact of microfinance on poverty reduction. Only after the inclusion of time dynamics in the study are we able to find a weak positive significance of...

The study was conducted to access the performance of rural credit markets in the North West Region of Cameroon. Specifically, it identifies the various participants in credit markets, estimate as and analysis the credit demand and supply functions. Data were primarily gathered through a multi-stage sampling technique involving 360 households and 60 credit institutions. Results reveal that interest, income, household size, farm size, education age and sex of respondents were determinants of credit demand while Interest paid, gross income and source of loan determined credit supply. It was recommended that interest should be kept low to encourage proper functioning of credit markets.

ASYMMETRIC PRICE RELATIONSHIPS IN THE U.S. BROILER INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bernard,   John C.; Willett,   Lois Schertz.
This study presents a testing methodology to analyze potential price asymmetries among the farm, wholesale, and retail levels of the U.S. broiler industry. Lag length, direction of causality and power of the integrators in the industry have allowed the wholesale price to become the center, causal price in the market. Asymmetric price transmissions, however, are limited. While downward movements in the wholesale price are passed on more fully to growers than increases in the wholesale price, only consumers in the North Central region of the U.S. share a larger portion of wholesalers' price increases than price decreases.

Buyer and Seller Response to an Adverse Food Safety Event: The Case of Frozen Salmon in Alberta
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Maynard,   Leigh J.; Saghaian,   Sayed H.; Nickoloff,   Megan.
Fish is a low-fat protein source high in omega-3 fatty acids, but in 2004 consumers also heard that farmed salmon had high levels of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs). This research evaluated how Canadian consumers and processors reacted to the conflicting health messages. Demand estimates and time-series analysis of 2001-2006 frozen meat scanner data in Alberta, Canada show a significant drop in salmon expenditure share following the PCB finding. The industry responded by launching low-priced wild salmon products, which contributed to significant demand expansion. The analysis illustrates how a food safety threat was averted and even served as a catalyst for growth.

A NEW REGIONAL HOUSEHOLD DEMAND SYSTEM FOR GTAP
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: McDougall,   Robert.
The GTAP model, versions 4.1 and lower, suffers from some defects in the implementation of the regional household demand system. Most seriously, the upper level of the demand system assumes that each regional household faces a fixed price for utility from private consumption. But with a private consumption demand system of the CDE form, the price of utility from private consumption depends on the level of private consumption expenditure. With no fixed price for utility from private consumption, the familiar Cobb-Douglas demand system does not apply. Accordingly, the upper-level demand equations are in error. Furthermore, utility and equivalent variation are wrongly computed in simulations with non-standard settings for the CDE expansion parameters. Even...

Use of un-treated/partially treated wastewater for irrigation in the dry countries of Asia and Africa and recycling of treated wastewater in the water scarce developed countries has become a common practice due to various reasons. While the lack of wastewater treatment to appropriate levels before use is a major problem in developing countries, the high cost of wastewater recycling is the major problem in developed countries. The current paper is part of a doctoral research and presents the conceptual framework for the research and the methodology that can be used to tackle the problems associated with wastewater recycling.

Autores: Kiet,   Nguyen Tang.
This paper tries to study rice price movements and relationships that might exist between rice prices of different selected countries; furthermore, some demand relations for rice will be constructed.  Factors influencing consumption such as changes in population and incomes will also be discussed.  The period under study will be from after the Second World War to 1960.  Rice price fluctuations can be observed from year to year both in local markets and in international trade.  This is due to differing demand and supply conditions.  On the one hand, production has greatly fluctuated, because of acreage and yield variations; on the other, rice consumption has changed patterns in many countries.

The purpose of this paper is to incorporate semiparametric alternatives to maximum likelihood estimation and inference in the context of unordered multinomial response data when in practice there is often insufficient information to specify the parametric form of the function linking the observables to the unknown probabilities.  We specify the function linking the observables to the unknown probabilities using a very general flexible class of functions belonging to the Pearson system of cumulative distribution equations.  In this setting we consider the observations as arising from a multinomial distribution characterized by one of the CDFs in the Pearson system.  Given this situation, it is possible to utilize the concept of unbiased estimating functions...

Autores: Vermeulen,   Hester; Ndibongo Traub,   Lulama; Meyer,   Ferdinand H.
This study quantifies the possible income and nutritional impact of the recent commitment by the South African Department of Agriculture to increase budgetary spending on agricultural development. Three levels of models are utilized.  The first, a large-scale partial equilibrium model, generated an outlook for maize grain under two possible future scenarios; the first is the baseline scenario under which it is assumed no additional government investment in the agricultural sector takes place, the second allows for the impact of an investment within the maize subsector large enough to increase local maize production by 15% above the baseline.  The second model, a rational distributed lag model, links the grain sector to the maize meal down-stream market....

DETERMINATION OF THE SURCHARGE THAT CONSUMERS ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR AN ORGANIC CHEESE IN SPAIN
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bernabeu,   Rodolfo; Olmeda,   Miguel; Diaz,   Monica; Olivasq,   R.
Consumer requirements for preferably new, quality products with health guarantees are causing competitive adaptation by agro-food businesses. In this sense, cheese-producing enterprises are immersed in restructuring to adapt to the new scene. To assure the greatest possible success in this process it is advisable to determine what the preferences of cheese consumers are. In searching for the answer to this question, 420 surveys were made on regular food shoppers for at-home consumption in the metropolitan area of Madrid (Spain). Treatment of this data consisted in using the Conjoint Analysis technique and maximum willingness to pay. Results show that the main differentiating element for cheese is origin and the maximum willing to pay for an organic cheese...

PECAN SUPPLY FACTORS AND 1996/7 SEASON PRICE FORECASTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Shafer,   Carl E.
Equations for forecasting US improved and native pecan prices were reasonably successful for one season ahead forecasts.  USDA October pecan crop forecasts, June cold storage stocks, and a GNP price deflator were the explanatory variables.  These variables are readily available early in the pecan harvesting season (September - December).  Data in first differences appeared to explain price behavior and forecast better than data in levels.  Forecasts for the 1996 season prices reflected 70 percent of the large drop in price from the 1995 season.  Unprecedented carryin stocks may have been responsible for the larger than forecast drop in prices.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the dynamics of R&amp;D investments, and the structure of the seed distribution sector using novel data sets that have not been used before to describe competition in these industries. The results describe four sets of issues of particular importance. One is that while all agbiotechology firms have increased their R&amp;D expenditures, there have been sharp differences in the scope of this spending. Most important is that this has spawned the growth in what is now referred as “seeds and traits.” Second, a large number of future traits will be commercialized in the coming years. A third set of results indicates that one firm grew its market share by 14% and a portion of this growth has been through acquisition. The...

Results show significant increases in the demand for protein feed largely due to expected use as poultry feed. South African protein feed imports amount to about R1 billion and results indicate that the concern of the Protein Advisory Trust about the cost of future imports is justified.

URBAN HOUSEHOLD DEMAND FOR MEAT AND MEAT PRODUCTS IN NIGERIA: AN ALMOST IDEAL DEMAND SYSTEM ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ezedinma,   Chuma I.; Kormawa,   P.M.; Chianu,   Jonas.
This study is based on micro level data on urban household food consumption and expenditure collected between 1999 and 2000 in three Nigerian cities. The LA/AIDS model, which allows the inclusion of demographic variables, was applied to a subset of the data on meat and meat products namely beef, mutton/goat, chicken, fish, eggs, and milk. Results indicate that urban demand for meat products will continue to increase as incomes improve, suggesting potential market opportunities especially for poultry. Intra-household demand patterns clearly indicate the importance of beef for children but contrary to expectations, there is a reduced demand for milk as the number of infants in urban households increase. The observed high income elasticity of demand for...

A NOTE ON THE FACTORS AFFECTING CORN BASIS RELATIONSHIPS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Naik,   Gopal; Leuthold,   Raymond M.
Empirical tests were made of components of the corn basis in the U.S. utilizing a general theory of intertemporal price relationships for storable commodities.  These tests showed that the basis consists of a risk premium, a speculative component, and a maturity basis apart from other factors such as storage costs for storable commodities.  The results provide insights into factors affecting basis patterns for corn.

A MATRIX OF DEMAND ELASTICITIES FOR FRESH FRUIT
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Price,   David W.; Mittelhammer,   Ronald C.
A matrix of direct, cross and income demand elasticities at farm level for 14 fresh fruits was estimated using the mixed estimation technique. Prior estimates were derived from past research and application of the symmetry relation, cross induction and subjective judgment. There were no statistically significant conflicts between the sample and prior information. Even though estimation efficiency increased with the mixed technique, only a limited number of cross elasticities could be estimated.

A BIO-ECONOMIC DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING ANALYSIS OF THE SEASONAL SUPPLY RESPONSE BY FLORIDA DAIRY PRODUCERS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gao,   Xiaoming; Spreen,   Thomas H.; Delorenzo,   Michael A.
Seasonal price premiums have been proposed as a means of dampening the highly seasonal patterns of milk production in Florida. A Markov decision bio-economic model of the breeding and replacement decisions was solved via stochastic dynamic programming and used to analyze the potential supply response to seasonal price premiums. The results of the analysis suggest that the seasonal milk supply in Florida is highly price inelastic.

Do Farmers Really Benefit from High Food Prices? Balancing Rural Interest in Kenya's Maize Pricing and Marketing Policy
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jayne,   Thomas S.; Yamano,   Takashi; Nyoro,   James K.; Awuor,   Tom.
This paper uses information from rural household surveys in 24 districts in Kenya to inform current debate on maize pricing policy. Specifically, it sheds light on how rural farm households are being affected by governmental efforts to support maize price levels. Using information on landed import costs of white maize from South Africa with and without the import tariff, it simulates the effects of eliminating the tariff on rural smallholder farmers, large-scale farmers, and urban consumers. It then examines the implications of these findings for the design of strategies to promote agricultural productivity and rural income growth.

An Examination of Factors Influencing Fertilizer Price Adjustment
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Galbraith,   Craig.
This paper utilizes an error correction model to examine how anhydrous ammonia (AA) and urea prices at different locations in North America adjusted to changes in crop and input prices during two time periods: 2002 to 2005 and 2006 to 2009. The empirical results suggest that natural gas futures prices had relatively more of an impact on nitrogen fertilizer prices during the 2002-2005 period. Nitrogen prices tended to adjust more rapidly to increases in natural gas futures prices than decreases. In the 2006 to 2009 period, corn futures prices had more of an impact on nitrogen prices. Nitrogen prices tended to respond immediately to decreases in corn futures prices. The nitrogen price responses to increasing corn futures prices were mixed.

Autores: Turner,   Steven C.; Dykes,   Nancy S.; McKissick,   John C.
Three Georgia feeder cattle teleauction markets were analyzed from 1977 to 1988 to estimate the impacts of cattle characteristics and market conditions on prices. Cattle characteristic price impacts were similar to those in previous studies. The impact of feeder cattle futures price on teleauction price was positive but varied across markets. Optimal lot size ranged from 143 to 276 head. In one market, 14 lots were necessary to generate positive price impacts. Additional buyers were estimated to have a $.30/cwt per buyer impact on price.

Stumpage Prices In Southwestern Ontario: A Hedonic Function Approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Puttock,   G. David; Prescott,   D.M.; Meilke,   Karl D.
Timber used in the production of lumber in Southwestern Ontario varies in a number of characteristics and the lump-sum stumpage price is expected to reflect differences in those characteristics. When heterogeneous inputs are used in production, the hedonic price function approach may be used to estimate marginal implicit values of the various input characteristics. Hedonic price functions have been estimated for timber in the region using pooled time-series cross-section data from a large sample of timber sales. The results indicate that volume, species composition, tree size, timber quality and distance to the purchasing mill will affect lump-sum stumpage prices. Estimates of the contributions that each of these characteristics makes to stumpage prices...

The Impact of Price Floors -A Real Options Based Experimental Approach-
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Maack,   Moritz; Maart,   Syster Christin; Musshoff,   Oliver.
In order to stimulate investments, agricultural policies frequently use price floors, which guarantee a price above a certain limit. In some cases, however, a price floor does not have the desired effects. In this study, we experimentally analyse differences in the investment be-haviour with respect to the presence of a price floor and compare the actual investment be-haviour to normative benchmarks of the net present value and the real options approach. Furthermore, we look at treatment order and learning effects. The results show that the price floor has no significant impact on the decision behaviour of participants, whereas the effects of treatment order were statistically significant. Regarding the analysis of policy impacts, the latter result shows...

THE DYNAMIC FORMATION OF WILLINGNESS TO PAY: AN EMPIRICAL SPECIFICATION AND TEST
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Corrigan,   Jay R.; Kling,   Catherine L.; Zhao,   Jinhua.
In a static setting, willingness to pay for an environmental improvement is equal to compensating variation. However, in a dynamic setting characterized by uncertainty, irreversibility, and the potential for learning, willingness to pay may also contain an option value. In this paper, we incorporate the dynamic nature of the value formulation process into a study using a contingent valuation method, designed to measure the value local residents assign to a north-central Iowa lake. Our results show that willingness to pay is highly sensitive to the potential for future learning. Respondents offered the opportunity to delay their purchasing decisions until more information became available were willing to pay significantly less for improved water quality...

Autores: Muhammad,   Andrew; Meade,   Birgit Gisela Saager.
In a 2003 report, International Evidence on Food Consumption Patterns, ERS economists estimated income and price elasticities of demand for broad consumption categories and food categories across 114 countries using 1996 International Comparison Program (ICP) data. This report updates that analysis with an estimated two-stage demand system across 144 countries using 2005 ICP data. Advances in ICP data collection since 1996 led to better results and more accurate income and price elasticity estimates. Low-income countries spend a greater portion of their budget on necessities, such as food, while richer countries spend a greater proportion of their income on luxuries, such as recreation. Low-value staples, such as cereals, account for a larger share of the...

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Goetz,   Stephan J.
In market-oriented economics, agricultural markets and marketing functions become increasingly important as the food system evolves.  This paper focuses on how selected dimensions of markets and marketing functions can be studied and evaluated in Third World settings.  The specific purpose of this paper is to review basic price and related market analysis techniques which are and can be used in Third World countries.  In so doing, the objective is also to focus specifically on identifying food system problems, techniques for improved interpretation of price analysis results, and means of dealing with the all too common problem of data limitations.

Combined Effects of Load Factors and Booking Time on Fares: Insights from the Yield Management of a Low-Cost Airline
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Alderighi,   Marco; Nicolini,   Marcella; Piga,   Claudio A.
Based on two strands of theoretical research, this paper provides new evidence on how fares are jointly affected by in-flight seat availability and purchasing date. As capacity-driven theories predict, it emerges that fares monotonically and substantially increase with the  flights occupancy rate. Moreover, as suggested in the literature on intertemporal price discrimination, the adoption of advance purchase discounts is widespread as the departure date nears, but it may be part of a U-shaped temporal profile, where discounts are preceded by periods of relatively higher fares. Finally, the intervention of yield management analysts appears to play a substantial role.

Imperfect Competition between Milk Manufacturers and Retailers in a Midwestern State in the U.S.
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hovhannisyan,   Vardges; Stiegert,   Kyle W.
This manuscript studies the market conduct of the milk manufacturers and retail chains in a Midwestern state in the U.S. Following the menu approach we employ a random coefficient logit demand model to investigate several possible scenarios on the supply side. Demand estimates are obtained using both cross-sectional and time series variation in data. We also allow annual variation in consumer demographics which helps identify the coefficients of interaction between consumer demographics and product characteristics. To further enhance identification power we allow choice set of milk to vary across markets.  The results are most supportive of the conjecture that manufacturers behave competitively letting the retailers be the residual claimants. Later they...

Potential Demand for a New Value-Added Cowpea Product as Measured by the Willingness-to-Pay for Cowpea Flour in West Africa
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Otoo,   Miriam; Fulton,   Joan R.; Ibro,   Germaine.
The objective of this paper is to assess the potential demand for a new value-added cowpea product – cowpea flour for purchase by women street food vendors. We use a non-hypothetical real purchase decision mechanism that involves real purchase exchanges of 1 kg packages of cowpea flour in a real market environment in Niamey, Niger.  Completed market transactions were bounded between an upper and lower limit price. Our results indicate that kossai vendors’ willingness-to-pay (WTP) for 1kg of cowpea flour exceeds the costs of production including a retail margin. Differences in WTP averages for different groups of vendors (economic status, vendor processor type and scale of production) were found to be statistically significant. Potential exists for...

Autores: Schulze,   Holger; Spiller,   Achim; Bohm,   Justus; de Witte,   Thomas.
Studies which analyze price-quality relations in the consumer goods market are mainly more than ten years old and deal marginally with food products. In this survey, the sceptical findings are confirmed with a special focus on the food market. The results show that food quality, risk avoidance and increase in quality benefits are not determined by price levels. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate that private labels in general – and the private labels of the discounter in particular – have a better price-quality ratio than manufacturer brands and private labels of supermarkets and hypermarkets.

An Experimental Investigation of the Impact of Fat Taxes: Prices Effects, Food Stigma, and Information Effects on Economics Instruments to Improve Dietary Health
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cash,   Sean B.; Lacanilao,   Ryan D.; Adamowicz,   Wiktor L.; Raine,   Kim.
There is currently no published research on how food taxes may affect consumer behaviour when the imposition of the tax itself may be considered a source of consumer information. The work undertaken here seeks to address this gap in the literature by using experimental methods to enhance understanding on the joint effects of price changes induced by a fat tax and the stigma associated with the application of the tax. First, we conduct an interdisciplinary literature review (drawing from economics, psychology, and health promotion) and theoretical investigation of the impact of stigma on economic choice behaviours. We then employ Attribute-Based Stated Choice Methods (ABSCM) to elicit consumer response to fat tax scenarios that rely only on price changes,...

Estimating the Demand for Wine Using Instrumental Variable Techniques
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cuellar,   Steven; Huffman,   Ryan.
The demand for wine is generally estimated on an aggregate level as a single commodity. However, as recent history shows us, the demand for wine not only varies considerably by varietal, but also by price point within each varietal. As a result, although estimates of the demand for wine may be beneficial to the wine industry as a whole, they provide little benefit to individual wine producers. This paper seeks to overcome the limitations of prior research on the demand for wine by providing estimates for the demand for wine by varietal and price point. We also provide estimates of own price effects, income effects as well as cross price effects by color, varietal and price point. Problems of endogeneity inherent in demand estimation are corrected by...

Autores: Taljaard,   Pieter R.
In this study the demand relations for meat in South Africa are estimated and interpreted.  Two demand model specifications, namely the Rotterdam and Linearized Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS), were estimated and tested in order to determine which model provide the best fit for South African meat data.  Tests for separability included an F and Likelihood ratio version.  Both tests rejected the null hypothesis of weak separability between meat, eggs and milk as protein sources, indicating that the demand model for meat products should be estimated separately from eggs and milk.  Consequently, separability tests between the four meat products fail to reject the null hypothesis, confirming that the four meat products should be modelled together....

Autores: Elnagheeb,   Abdelmoneim H.; Jordan,   Jeffrey L.
In this paper, data from a 1992 telephone survey of Georgia residents were used to study people’s willingness-to-pay (WTP) for water as a commodity. A dichotomous contingent valuation method was employed to estimate the marginal scarcity rent of water. Results indicated that the average WTP was $15.10 above the current monthly water cost, or about 81 percent of current bills. The aggregate WTP for all of Georgia was estimated to be nearly $393 million, suggesting that water is underpriced.

Living High on the Hog: Factory Farms, Federal Policy, and the Structural Transformation of Swine Production
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Starmer,   Elanor; Wise,   Timothy A.
U.S. farm policy reforms in 1996 produced significant overproduction of supported crops, with prices falling to levels that were often below average farm production costs. Among the beneficiaries of the policy shift were the largest corporate purchasers of supported crops, as they saw a steady supply of low-priced inputs. Industrial livestock firms were among the most significant buyers of U.S. corn and soybeans, the main components of livestock feed. Filling an important gap in the literature, this paper estimates the savings to industrial hog operations between 1997 and 2005 from feed components priced at levels below their production costs. The savings are found to be significant. We also find that industrial hog companies benefited from weak federal...

A hedonic price function is developed for estimating the implicit prices for selected quality characteristics of fresh tomatoes at three points in the marketing season. The estimation of this function, proposed as a method of evaluating change in the post-harvest system, is accomplished using a flexible functional form. Those quality characteristics that most affect the price of tomatoes can help determine the economic feasibility of alternative handling techniques or new technologies.

THE REVENUE RISK OF VALUE-BASED PRICING FOR FED CATTLE: A SIMULATION OF GRID VS. AVERAGE PRICING
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Anderson,   John D.; Zeuli,   Kimberly A.
The reluctance to adopt value-based pricing stems from a fundamental problem created by the system: increased revenue uncertainty and variability.  The literature suggests that inconsistent carcass characteristics cause revenue variability under grid pricing.  The possibility that the grid pricing structure, regardless of cattle quality variations, also causes revenue variability has been recognized but not fully analyzed.  This study quantifies the impact of grid variability over time, pen quality differentials, and quality grade price discounts on average revenue per head for a pen of fed cattle.  Grid pricing revenue results are compared to average pricing results.

In a period of market liberalization and multilateral trade negotiations, price discrimination for commodities with distinct markets provides additional policy options to support farm income. While both the USA and Canada have implemented price discrimination policies in their domestic dairy sector, so far the European Union (EU) has not. This paper evaluates the options of developing a price discrimination policy in the EU dairy sector.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cheng,   Lan; Moss,   Charles B.
This study models Florida citrus production as a function of the age profile of a given tree stock. The age relationship is estimated using a modified hyperbolic tangent function and the parameters is solved by Spatial Process Models and Maximum Likelihood approach. The estimation is based on the production data of four citrus varieties in 25 regions of Florida from 1992 to 2005. The results show smooth “S”-shaped yield curves of Florida citrus. This analysis offers yield function of citrus as the first step for statistical modeling of the risks associated with citrus cancers aimed at pricing insurance rates.

Price Relationships in the U.S. Tree Nut Market
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ibrahim,   Mohammed; Florkowski,   Wojciech J.
Although most U.S. tree nuts have very specific and different uses, some substitutability does occur, complicating the price analysis in the tree nut market. We examine the relationships among U.S. tree nut prices using the Johansen’s cointegration procedure. We found long run equilibrium among some nut prices, namely, pecans, walnuts, and almonds. These findings are consistent with recent suggestions that cointegration exist among substitutes.

FAT TAX: A POLITICAL MEASURE TO REDUCE OVERWEIGHT? THE CASE OF GERMANY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Thiele,   Silke.
Using an Almost Ideal Demand System food price elasticities for German households are calculated. These elasticities serve as a basis to simulate the effect of the substitutions of different food types due to a tax on saturated fat. The change of food structure causes effects on the energy and nutrient supply of individuals as well as, on consumer welfare. These effects are analyzed for different German household groups. It is found that decreases in energy and fat intake are small but potentially effective especially for low-income households. However, due to the collateral decrease of nutrients which Germans have deficient supply of, the total health effects of a fat tax remain unclear. Furthermore the results show that low-income groups would bear...

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PRICE STABILIZATION AND CYCLES IN THE CANADIAN WHEAT MARKET
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Clark,   J. Stephen; Klein,   Kurt K.
In this study, moving average price stabilization schemes were analyzed under the assumption of rational expectations.  It was shown that moving average price schemes may induce cyclical behavior into market prices where no cyclical pattern previously existed.  Moving average price stabilization schemes are important to Canadian agricultural policy analysis because they are a characteristic of stabilization programs in Canada.  Indeed, the Agricultural Stabilization Act, introduced in 1975, and the Gross Revenue Insurance Program, introduced in 1991, use moving average prices to calculate returns to producers.

CONSUMER WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR DOMESTIC MILK
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Vandermersch,   Mieke; Mathijs,   Erik.
Dairy farmers'’ profit margins are under pressure due to the downward trend of EU commodity prices for fluid milk and the increasingly powerful retail sector, in combination with increasing production costs.  A likely solution to counter small margins is to add value to raw milk.  This paper investigates the option of using a domestic origin-certification to upgrade the value of milk.  Data stem from a consumer survey, conducted at the three largest supermarket chains in Flanders (Belgium).  The results show evidence for a latent demand for domestic milk.  Based on actually purchased brands in combination with top-of-mind attributes, two consumer types were distinguished (price-shoppers and added-value seekers), each with a different behaviour concerning...

Non-parametric and Parametric Modeling of Biodiesel - Sunflower Oil - Crude Oil Price Relationships
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hassouneh,   Islam; Serra,   Teresa; Gil,   Jose Maria.
Multivariate local linear regression and parametric error correction models are applied to assess price linkages and price transmission patterns between food and energy prices in Spain. Weekly biodiesel, sunflower and crude oil prices observed from November 2006 to October 2010 are used in the empirical analysis. Results suggest the existence of a long-run equilibrium relationship between the three prices studied. Biodiesel is the only variable that adjusts to deviations from this long-run parity. Local linear regression techniques show that the speed of adjustment of biodiesel prices is higher when biodiesel is cheap than when it is expensive. Energy prices are also found to influence sunflower oil prices through the short-run price dynamics.

This study analyzed the Brazilian coffee exporter’s losses between the years 2002 and 2009, by emphasizing the 2007/09 crisis, which affected several sectors and generated instability and uncertainty about the future results of the economic activities. The Brazilian coffee exporting sector is fully inserted in this context, once it acts in the financial markets and it is still subject to the strong variations from the physical market. Thus, the central analysis dealt with the volatility of the exporters returns and was based on auto regressive models with conditional heteroscedaticity (ARCH) and on the Value at Risk (VAR) estimative. As a supplement, the effects from the external demand for the Brazilian coffee and from the exchange rate variation over the...

This paper examines the forces that affected the Northeastern fresh tomato supply in the post-WWII period.  A simultaneous equation model is developed which incorporates a composite price expectation model, supply response, and factors affecting regional price.  Findings reveal that data are consistent with the Rational Expectation Hypothesis.  Urban pressure played a major role in shifting supply response while shipments from competing areas had a modest impact on regional production or price.  The positive elasticity of producers' revenue with respect to local production highlights the aggregate benefits of increasing yields.

Verbiage Matters: Do Respondents Answer Willingness to Pay Dichotomous Choice Questions on a Per Person or Per Group Basis?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lohman,   Greta; Keske,   Catherine M.; Loomis,   John B.
Dichotomous choice willingness to pay questions are often used to determine the value visitors place on nature-based recreation.  Ambiguity in wording can result in the use of information that does not necessarily reflect visitors’ true WTP.  For example, depending on the specificity of the verbiage used, respondents may answer questions on a group basis, rather than an individual basis.  To address this issue, experimental surveys were distributed with questions that specifically asked WTP on a per person basis, as compared to control surveys in which the WTP question was more generally worded.  Analyses show WTP responses for either survey type are statistically different, with non-overlapping confidence intervals.  Furthermore, approaches were conducted...

The performance of a proposed asymmetric-error GARCH model is evaluated in comparison to the normal-error- and Student-t-GARCH models through three applications involving forecasts of U.S. soybean, sorghum, and wheat prices. The applications illustrate the relative advantages of the proposed model specification when the error term is asymmetrically distributed, and provide improved probabilistic forecasts for the prices of these commodities.

ESTIMATING THE IMPACT OF CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM CONTRACT EXPIRATION ON CORN AND WHEAT PRICES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Garrison,   Carl O.; Dicks,   Michael R.; Adam,   Brian D.
The Conservation Reserve Program reduced available cropland in the United States by 34 million acres under the first nine signup periods (1986-1990).  Among these are ten million acres with wheat base and four million acres with corn base, which could potentially produce 288 million bushels of wheat and 340 million bushels of corn per year upon contract expiration.  The impacts of expiring CRP contacts on the production and prices of wheat and corn in the United States are estimated.  Based on past production practices and post-CRP land-use intentions of contract holders, 48.2% of base acres enrolled in CRP will return to production.  Under this scenario, wheat prices will decline by more than 7% and corn prices by more than 2% by 2000, unless ARP levels,...

Autores: Choi,   Jung-Sup; Helmberger,   Peter G.
A two-stage approach is used to estimate sensitivity of corn, wheat, and soybean yields to changes in prices and land idled.  Estimated elasticity of demand for fertilizer per acre with respect to expected output price equals 0.47, 0.10, and 0.82 for corn, wheat, and soybeans.  Upper estimates of the elasticity of yield with respect to fertilizer equals +0.58, +0.29, and +0.16 for corn, wheat, and soybeans.  Yields are found to be quite insensitive to price changes.  Fertilizer demands and yields are insensitive to land idled under farm programs.

DEMAND FOR MEAT AND FISH PRODUCTS IN KOREA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jung,   Jione; Koo,   Won W.
The Korean livestock industry is currently facing the critical challenge of the market liberalization trend under the World Trade Organization. This study analyzes the consumption behavior of meat and fish products in Korea, by estimating the Linear Approximate Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS). The empirical results indicate that beef imports in Korea would increase in the future under trade liberalization. If cheap and better quality imported beef are introduced to Korean consumers, Hanwoo (Korean domestic cattle) beef would not maintain its market share.  Key words: Meat, fish, trade liberalization, per capita consumption, demand, separability, and price elasticity.

This study estimates the value of policies that would mandate labeling of beef from cattle produced with growth hormones or fed genetically modified corn.  At no cost, 85 percent of resondents desired mandatory labeling of beef produced with growth hormones and 64 percent of respondents preferred mandatory labeling of beef fed genetically modified corn. Estimates suggest that consumers would be willing to pay 17.0 percent and 10.6 percent higher prices for beef on average to obtain information provided via mandatory labeling about whether the beef is from cattle produced with growth hormones or fed genetically modified corn, respectively.

The pasture-based model of agriculture potentially offers opportunities for small- and medium-scale livestock producers in local, regional, and national markets. Our data indicate that many consumers value the attributes associated with locally produced pasture-raised products. We used ordered probit and binary probit analyses of these data to identify the demographic segments that showed the greatest interest in these attributes. This interest suggests a broad education and marketing effort to articulate salient attributes and to differentiate and increase the availability of these products in the marketplace.

Deregulation of the Australian Wheat Export Market: What Happened to Wheat Prices?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Curwen,   Reece; Mugera,   Amin W.; White,   Benedict.
This paper investigates whether deregulation of the Australian wheat export market induced a structural change in the price data generation process. We examine the unit root properties of Western Australian wheat prices by testing for the possibility of single and double structural breaks in the price series. Daily prices for the period 20th of May 2003 to 14th of September 2010 are used. We find that the wheat price series has a unit root with two structural breaks but neither break coincided with the time when the Wheat Export Marketing Act 2008 came into effect on 1 July 2008. We conclude that change in local market behaviour would have started prior to actual deregulation with subsequent effect on local price.

Does the Gravity Model Suffer from Selection Bias?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Haq,   Zahoor Ul; Meilke,   Karl D.; Cranfield,   John A.L.
When analyzing bilateral trade flow data, zero trade flows are quite common and problematic when a gravity equation is estimated with a log-linear functional form. This has caused many researchers to either ignore the zero trade flows or to replace zero with a small positive number. Both of these actions bias the resulting parameter estimates of the gravity equation. In this study we correct for this misspecification by using the Heckman selection model to estimate the bilateral trade flows for 46 agrifood products, for the period 1990 to 2000, for 52 countries. In our sample, selection bias rarely affects the signs of variables but often has a substantial effect on the magnitude, statistical significance and economic interpretation of the marginal...

The Rotterdam model is used to estimate U.S. source-differentiated meat demand.  Price and expenditure elasticities indicate that U.S. grain-fed beef and U.S. pork have a competitive advantage in the U.S. beef and pork markets, respectively.  Expenditure elasticities reveal that beef from Canada has the most to gain from an expansion in U.S. meat expenditures, followed by ROW pork, U.S. grain-fed beef, and U.S. poultry.  BSE outbreaks in Canada and the United States are shown to have small impacts on meat demand, while seasonality is found to have a significant effect in determining U.S. meat consumption patterns.

Primal-Dual Estimation of a Linear Expenditure Demand System
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Paris,   Quirino; Perali,   Carlo Federico; Piccoli,   Luca.
Efficient estimates require the utilization of all the available theoretical and statistical information. This fact suggests that econometric models based on an explicit optimization theory might achieve more efficient estimates when all the primal and dual relations are used for a joint estimation of the model’s parameters. We present a discussion of this idea using a Linear Expenditure System (LES) of consumer demand. We assume that the risk-neutral household chooses its consumption plan on the basis of expected information. Some time after that decision, the econometrician attempts to measure quantities and prices and in so doing commits measurement errors. Hence, the econometric model is an errors-in-variables nonlinear system of equations for which...

The Rice Outlook and Situation (RO&amp;S) forecasts were compared to the forecasts of a univariate Box-Jenkins (BJ) model. On balance, the RO&amp;S forecasts had lower mean square forecast errors and lower mean absolute forecast errors than the BJ model forecasts. The differences in the squared and absolute forecast errors were not significant, however. Based on the concept of conditional efficiency as set forth by Granger and Newbold, it was found that the BJ forecasts did not add any information that might improve forecast accuracy beyond what was already incorporated in the RO&amp;S forecasts.

Market Signals Transmitted by Grid Pricing
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Johnson,   Heather C.; Ward,   Clement E.
Grid pricing improves the flow of information to producers, but market signals sent by grids may not be clearly understood. This study uses a two-stage Coefficients of Separate Determination process, four sets of fed cattle carcass data, and sensitivity analyses to identify market signals sent by grid pricing. Weight sends a stronger market signal than carcass quality characteristics such as quality and yield grade. Although grids are shaping production, market signals indicate that lower quality carcasses are penalized more than higher quality carcasses are rewarded. Sensitivity analyses suggest changes in quality and yield grade discounts have the greatest impact on market signals.

Autores: Soliman,   Ibrahim; Fabiosa,   Jacinto F.; Bassiony,   Halah.
Over the years the control of the Government of Egypt on the agricultural sector has increasingly weakened with the progressive elimination of the input subsidy, area control, price control, procurement control, and the constraints in private sector participation in processing and trade. The only remaining major government involvement is the food subsidy in some wheat products, the “baladi” bread subsidy in particular.  Policy analysis studies in Egypt have been made possible because the Government of Egypt collects and publishes significant amounts of agricultural data on a regular basis. Two of the most widely used data sets are the Household Budget Survey conducted and published by the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics, and the Food...

A NOTE ON DEALING WITH POULTRY IN DEMAND ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Eales,   James S.; Hyde,   Jeffrey; Schrader,   Lee F.
Two approaches have been taken to the modeling of poultry demand in U.S. meat demand studies. One has been to ignore turkey, and estimate demands for beef, pork, and chicken. The second has been to include turkey by combining it with chicken, and estimating demands for beef, pork, and poultry. The validity of these two approaches is examined using quarterly U.S. time-series data from 1980-96. The results indicate that either approach to the modeling of poultry demand is appropriate.

Measuring the Price Volatility of Certain Field Crops in South Africa using the ARCH/GARCH Approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jordaan,   Henry; Grove,   Bennie; Jooste,   Andre; Alemu,   A.G.
The conditional volatility in the daily spot prices of the crops traded on the South African Futures Exchange (yellow maize, white maize, wheat, sunflower seed and soybeans) is determined.  The volatility in the prices of white maize, yellow maize and sunflower seed have been found to vary over time, suggesting the use of the GARCH approach in these cases.  Using the GARCH approach, the conditional standard deviation is the measure of volatility, and distinguishes between the predictable and unpredictable elements in the price process.  This leaves only the stochastic component and is hence a more accurate measure of the actual risk associated with the price of the crop.  The volatility in the prices of wheat and soybeans was found to be constant over...

AN ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF DEMAND FOR MEAT AND FISH PRODUCTS IN KOREA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jung,   Jione; Koo,   Won W.
This study analyzes the structure of Korean meat and fish product demand.  The Linear Approximate Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS) is used to estimate Korean meat and fish demand. Since the expenditure term is endogenous, the three-stage least squares (3SLS) estimator is used to estimate the demand system. Empirical results indicate that beef imports would increase with increases in per capita income. If imported beef becomes less expensive as a result of the trade liberalization policy adopted by the Korean government, Hanwoo beef would not be competitive and could lose its market share. Pork and chicken would be able to maintain market shares, but most fish products would lose market shares.

PRICE DYNAMICS IN A VERTICAL SECTOR: THE CASE OF BUTTER
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Chavas,   Jean-Paul; Mehta,   Aashish.
We develop a reduced-form model of price transmission in a vertical sector, allowing for refined asymetric, contemporaneous and lagged, own and cross price effects. The model is used to analyze wholesale-retail price dynamics in the US butter market. The analysis provides strong evidence of asymmetric price transmissions. It documents the complex nature of nonlinear price dynamics in a vertical sector and its implications for the distribution of future prices. It finds evidence that the asymmetric response to shocks is stronger in the sort run for retail prices, and in the longer run for wholesale prices.

PRICE RESPONSE OF NIGERIAN PALM PRODUCTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Teigen,   Lloyd D.
The oil palm has been the most important of the three major cash crops in the southern region of Nigeria.  During the period 1955-1964, exports of palm kernels and palm oil averaged over   33 million per year, about 21 percent of the value of Nigerian exports in this period.  This compares with the value of cocoa exports of about   32 million and the value of exported rubber of about  10 million.  The other major agricultural export is groundnuts (peanuts), grown in the North, which averaged   28 million in exports.  During this approximately same period the marketing boards, the sole buyers of exported palm products, performed primarily the fiscal role of assembling funds to support development programs.  With the introduction of new information on the...

Multi-criteria assessment of ethical aspects in fresh tomato systems: Plant genomics technology innovation and food policy uses
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Michalopoulos,   T.; Oude Lansink,   Alfons G.J.M.; Heuvelink,   E.; Hogeveen,   Henk.
Product assessment for imperceptible characteristics like environmental impact, healthfulness, naturalness, and fairness is a helpful tool in product innovation and for enhancing socially responsible conduct. In this study we apply multiple criteria analysis for the assessment of fresh tomatoes in terms of consumer perceptions regarding the above characteristics. The generated indices provide an explicit and comprehensive representation of consumer perceptions. Existing tomato products from the Dutch market are ranked alongside (reasonable conjectures of) potential products to be developed with the use of plant genomics technology. The results are interpreted to provide insights into the socially optimal use of (plant genomics) technology for fresh tomato...

An Empirical Investigation of Live Hog Demand
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Parcell,   Joseph L.; Mintert,   James R.; Plain,   Ronald L.
An inverse live hog demand model was estimated to analyze claims that the live hog own quantity demand flexibility's magnitude has increased in recent years.  A second objective of this research was to estimate the impact changes in processing capacity utilization rates have on live hog prices.  Results indicate that in recent years live hog prices have become more responsive to changes in hog slaughter, slaughter weight, and cold storage stocks.  Additionally, changes in processing capacity utilization rates, at times, also have a relatively large impact on live hog prices.  Finally, when the large live hog price decline that occurred during the fall of 1998 is examined, model results indicate that the sharp increase in processor's capacity utilization...

Price Spikes in Global Rice Markets Benefit U.S. Growers, at Least in the Short Term
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Childs,   Nathan W.; Baldwin,   Katherine L.
Because only a small share of production enters the global market, the world rice market remains susceptible to substantial price volatility. Price volatility is exacerbated by trade policies of importers and exporters seeking to protect their consumers from high prices and ensure adequate supplies. For the U.S., this price and trade volatility can translate into short-term export opportunities.

The Impact of Rising Food Prices on the Poor

Autores: Zezza,   Alberto; Davis,   Benjamin; Azzarri,   Carlo; Covarrubias,   Katia; Tasciotti,   Luca; Anriquez,   Gustavo.
This paper analyzes the household level impact of an increase in price of major tradable staple foods in a cross section of developing countries, using nationally representative household surveys. We find that, in the short term, poorer households and households with limited asset endowments and access to agricultural inputs will be hit the hardest by the price shock.  Given the ample degree of heterogeneity among households and among the poor, the analysis emphasizes the importance of meaningful policy research to go beyond average impacts to look at how access to assets and inputs, livelihood strategies and other key household characteristics drive the magnitude and distribution of the effects of the price increases.

Price Transmission and Food Scares in the U.S. Beef Sector
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Livanis,   Grigorios T.; Moss,   Charles B.
The advent of mad cow disease in Canada in the United States raises numerous concerns regarding consumer reaction to information in the United States. To examine the role of consumer reaction to information we examine the response of price spreads in the U.S. beef market to a Food Safety Index derived from Lexis-Nexis. Specifically, we estimate a vector error correction model to examine the long and short-run effect of news on price spreads. Our results indicate that informational shocks are fairly transient in the retail prices, but persist at the wholesale and farm level.

2009 Outlook of the U.S. and World Sugar Markets, 2008-2018
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Koo,   Won W.; Taylor,   Richard D.
This report evaluates the U.S. and world sugar markets for 2008-2018 using the Global Sugar Policy Simulation Model. This analysis is based on assumptions about general economic conditions, agricultural policies, population growth, weather conditions, and technological changes. Both the U.S. and world sugar economies are predicted to remain stable over the next ten years in spite of the 2007-08 surge in world oil prices. That increase in price caused an increase in the conversion of sugar into ethanol in Brazil, while other exporting countries increased their production in response to those higher prices. Sugar prices returned to normal levels in 2008. World demand for sugar is expected to grow at a similar rate to world supply, resulting in Carribean...

DEMAND AND SUPPLY ANALYSIS OF CORN IN INDONESIA FROM 1970-1988
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ali,   Mohamad Rum.
Corn is the second most important food crop in Indonesia.  Harvested area has fluctuated around an average of 2.7 million hectares between 1970-1988.  This is roughly one third of the area devoted to rice and twice that of cassava. Production is almost entirely a smallholder activity, which provides income and staple food for over 10 million farm households who rarely farm more than 2 hectares of land. Corn production in Indonesia is concentrated on Java and Madura, which account for almost 75 percent of production.  On Java and Madura, almost all corn is produced on the eastern half of the land area.  The province of East Java produces 45 percent of the nation's total output. The land types used for corn production are "tegalan" (rain-fed) and "sawah"...

Autores: von Cramon-Taubadel,   Stephan; Loy,   Jens-Peter; Meyer,   Jochen.
The impact of cross sectional aggregation over individual retail stores on the estimation and testing of vertical price transmission is investigated using a unique data set of individual retail prices. Systematic differences between the results of estimations using aggregated data on the one hand, and disaggregated data on the other, are discussed theoretically and confirmed empirically. The results suggest that results based on aggregated data generally cannot be used to draw conclusions about price transmission behaviour at the level of the individual data that underlies aggregates.

WHOLESALE DEMAND FOR USDA QUALITY GRADED BOXED BEEF AND EFFECTS OF SEASONALITY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lusk,   Jayson L.; Marsh,   Thomas L.
This study quantifies the differential in demand between different USDA quality grades of beef and the interaction between quality graded beef and other meats. We provide estimates of meat retailer own and cross price demand elasticities for USDA Choice and Select boxed beef.  Results indicate that meat retailers have more elastic demand for lower quality graded beef. Seasonal analysis indicates demand for both beef quality grades becomes highly price inelastic during the summer “"cook-out"” months. The two beef quality grades are strong substitutes during the fall and winter. However, Select beef is not a substitute for Choice beef in the spring and summer.

A MODEL OF SUPPLY RESPONSE IN THE AUSTRALIAN ORANGE GROWING INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Alston,   Julian M.; Freebairn,   John W.; Quilkey,   John J.
A model of the Australian orange growing industry to explain changes in plantings, removals, the number and age composition of trees and orange production is developed and estimated. Most of the variation in plantings is explained by the expected profitability of growing oranges, the current stocks of bearing and nonbearing trees, and removals of trees last year. Estimates of the elasticities of response of plantings and production to price changes are low and there are long time lags. An illustrative application of the model projects future developments in the industry for alternative assumptions about the profitability of growing oranges.

Effects of Taxing Sugar-Sweetened Beverage and Subsidizing Milk: Beverage Consumption, Nutrition, and Obesity among US Children
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lin,   Biing-Hwan; Smith,   Travis A.; Lee,   Jonq-Ying.
Taxing sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) has been proposed as a means to improve U.S. diet and health and generate revenue to address obesity-related issues. A related concern is that children’s intake of SSBs, a third that of milk consumption in the late 1970s, now equals milk consumption. Displacing milk by SSBs may shortchange the buildup of bone mass, increasing the risk of fractures and osteoporosis in later life. Accordingly, we examine the effects that a 20- percent SSB tax and a 20-percent milk price subsidy would have on the diet and health of American children. We estimated US beverage demand systems and used the estimated demand elasticities to examine the impacts of the hypothetical SSB tax and milk subsidy. Our results suggest that a 20-percent...

Spatial Analysis of Market Linkages in North Carolina Using Threshold Autoregression Models with Variable Transaction Costs
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Bekkerman,   Anton; Goodwin,   Barry K.; Piggott,   Nicholas E.
In North Carolina, where soybeans and corn are the two primary crops, the recent increase in the demand for U.S. corn has triggered a shift of farm acreage from soybeans to corn, leading to a rapid rise in prices of both commodities. However, the rate of the price changes, as well as the price level, is significantly different in markets that are located in different parts of the state.  This study extends the literature that examines linkages between spatially separated markets by using a threshold autoregressive model with a less restrictive assumption for estimating the transaction cost neutral band -- the band within which trade is not profitable. This generalization allows the neutral band of transactions costs to change according to various external...

The differential demand system or Rotterdam model is extended to include lagged consumption through translation parameters, providing an alternative to simply adding constant terms to the model to allow for trends in consumption and changes in tastes.  Application of the model to four broadly defined groups of goods indicates significant lag effects, resulting in differences in short-run and long-run income and price responses.

Long‐run Relationships Between World Vegetable Oil Prices
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: In,   Francis; Inder,   Brett.
In the international edible oil markets, there is believed to be high substitutability between vegetable oils and fats produced under different conditions. In light of this, we consider the question: what is the nature of the long‐run relationships between vegetable oil prices? Long‐run co‐movements among oil prices are analysed, based on a multivariate cointegration model. The empirical finding is that most co‐movements are consistent with the predictions of market theory. Prices of oils tend to be grouped according to their different end‐uses. Some policy implications of a buffer stock scheme are discussed.

This study uses a new market analysis methodology to examine price and trade relationships in eight Pacific Rim factor and product markets central to the Canadian and U.S. pork industries. The new method enables direct estimation of the frequencies with which a variety of market conditions occur, including competitive equilibrium, tradability, and segmented equilibrium. While extraordinary profit opportunities emerge episodically in a few niche markets, the vast majority of the markets studies are highly competitive- exhibiting zero estimated marginal profits to spatial arbitrage at monthly frequency- and internationally contestable. With a few notable exceptions due primarily to nontariff barriers, and despite significant remaining tariffs in some niches,...

A MODEL OF HOUSEHOLD TYPE SPECIFIC FOOD DEMAND BEHAVIOUR IN HUNGARY
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Brosig,   Stephan.
The paper describes a two stage model of Hungarian households'’ food demand. Demand for the food aggregate is represented by a Working-Leser type single equation model while demand for seven distinct food types is modelled in a complete demand system using the LA/AIDS functional form. Estimation is based on household budget survey data for 1996. Demand elasticities are estimated for average households as well as for specific groups defined by sociodemographic characteristics. Fruit and vegetables are found to be the food types with most elastic demand but in general, differences between elasticities for different products as well as between different sociodemographic groups are relatively small.

Response to changes in factors influencing consumption of catfish and competing commodities differ between national, South Atlantic, and Southwest Central markets. A modified state adjustment model for catfish, beef, chicken, and other fish explicitly included age distribution, residence, occupation, education, and race/ethnic variables associated with habit formation. Nationally, per capita expenditures on catfish respond to present and past relative prices, and catfish, chicken, and other fish, but not beef, consumption demonstrates significant habit formation. South Atlantic and Southwest Central habits for catfish consumption persist, and, as the population ages, chicken and fish consumption increase.

Autores: Yen,   Steven T.; Huang,   Chung L.
This study estimates household demand for finfish in the United States using a limited dependent variable model that accounts for both participation and consumption decisions and also accommodates nonnormal heteroskedastic errors. Results suggest that own-price elasticity is near unitary and income elasticity is small. Price of finfish, shopping frequency, Northeast, Black and other non-Whites, and the life-cycle variable “"young, single, no children”" are they key factors that affect significantly both the probability of participation and the level of finfish consumption. Furthermore, a variable may exert opposite effects on the probability and level of consumption.

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Park,   Timothy A.; Florkowski,   Wojciech J.
A generalized Heckman model of purchase decisions incorporating perceived consumer quality attributes, ease of purchase, and familiarity with marketing outlets as factors influencing pecan purchases is estimated.  Marketing efforts that encourage consumers to expand expenditures on nut products increase both the probability of pecan purchases and the amount purchased.  Consumers who use all types of nuts in a wider variety of foods tend to purchase pecans more frequently.  A diverse set of marketing outlets provides consumers with convenient sources of purchasing pecans and has a significant influence on the probability of pecan purchases but not the amount of pecans purchased.

Why Supply Management in Canada can Co-exist with the Prospective Doha Round Result
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Gifford,   Michael N.; McCalla,   Alex F.
The Canadian supply management system could continue to function under the prospective Doha Round result. The main change the industry would face would likely be the replacement of the present pricing system in dairy and eggs with a system of negotiated prices between producers and processors (paralleling the existing situation for chickens and turkeys) which still would reflect very substantial protection via the remaining over-quota tariffs. The main adjustment would be that Canadian producer prices would start to more closely track world prices which should be less volatile and higher as a result of the phase out of export subsidies and the creation of new market access opportunities.
