Shifts in the seasonal patterns between decades (1980-89, 1990-99, and 2000-10) signal price response to changes in market conditions, demand trends, and global linkages that have taken place overtime in these fruit markets. Statistical comparatives and graphical analysis form the basis for assessment using U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) monthly grower price data. Extended seasons through geographical and varietal diversity in major producing areas have had a smoothing effect on the seasonal behavior of fresh strawberry prices but a distinct... |

To examine this issue we calibrate a spatial equilibrium model of the U.S. wine industry. The model accounts for (i) consumer preferences for variety, (ii) monopolistic-competition/increasing-returns in the production of differentiated wine products, and (iii) transportation costs. Wine production areas are grouped into nine U.S. and seven world producing regions. U.S. markets are grouped into the 50 States plus the District of Columbia. Results indicate that U.S. consumers are willing to pay substantial transportation costs in order to consume a wide variety of... |
