THE DEMAND FOR WHOLESALE BEEF CUTS BY SEASON AND TREND
Provedor de dados: 31
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...

TESTING FOR STORE-LEVEL DIFFERENCES IN FACTORS AFFECTING ITEM MOVEMENT OF PREGO AND RAGU SPAGHETTI SAUCES USING POINT-OF-SALE DATA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Seo,   Seong-Cheon; Capps,   Oral, Jr.
Using IRI Infoscan store-level data or Prego and Ragu brands of spaghetti sauces, estimates were obtained for own-price, cross-price, and advertising elasticities for Houston, TX and Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX markets via the use of SUR (Seemingly Unrelated Regression) technique. As well, impacts of featuring, display, and free-standing inserts on movement of spaghetti sauces at the store level were obtained. Dynamics in item movement also were captured. Within a particular market for a given brand, coefficients of factors affecting movement of spaghetti sauce were different across stores.

Autores: Byrne,   Patrick J.; Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Williams,   Gary W.
The analysis focused on economic forces influencing U.S. lamb consumption at the consumer level. The demand for lamb was shown to be inelastic. Key determinants of lamb consumption were habit persistence, seasonality, own price, and the price of pork. Income, trend and the price of beef were not statistically important factors.

ALTERNATIVE ESTIMATION METHODS OF NONLINEAR DEMAND SYSTEMS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Capps,   Oral, Jr.
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.  On the basis of the evaluation of parameter estimates and their asymptotic standard errors as well as...

COST, INPUT AND MARKET SURVEY RESULTS OF THE TEXAS FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wildenthal,   Marie; Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Goodwin,   Harold L., Jr.
State governments are concerned with economic development because the condition of their well being determines residents' standard of living.  Therefore, state governments are interested in strategies for strengthening their economies.  States with substantial agricultural production can implement a strategy of maintaining or increasing markets for that production, positively affecting all of the aforementioned measures.  In some states, the focus has been to "add value" to raw agricultural commodities.  Texas's food processing industry is the focus of this research.  A survey was conducted to determine the cost components of Texas food processors, the percent of purchases from Texas, and reasons for these purchases.  This article summarizes the results of...

SAMUELSON'S FULL DUALITY AND THE USE OF DIRECTED ACYCLICAL GRAPHS: THE BIRTH OF CAUSALLY IDENTIFIED DEMAND SYSTEMS
Provedor de dados: 31
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.

Autores: Nayga,   Rodolfo M., Jr.; Capps,   Oral, Jr.
Models are developed to measure the effect of socioeconomic factors on the probability of consuming fish and shellfish in both the away from home and at home markets.  Factors that significantly affect the likelihood of eating fish and shellfish at home include urbanization, region, race, ethnicity, age, diet status and income.  On the other hand, region, employment, diet status, household size, age and income significantly affect the likelihood of eating fish and shellfish away from home.

Effects of Lamb Promotion on Lamb Demand and Imports
Provedor de dados: 31
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...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Farris,   Donald E.; Byrne,   Patrick J.; Namken,   Jerry C.; Lambert,   Charles D.
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.

Online food shopping is not only one of the newest innovations in grocery shopping but also one of the many services integrating the changing needs of consumers and the increasing use of modern technology. A survey was conducted in the Bryan/College Station area of Texas to determine a quantitative profile of consumers, via logit analysis, who are familiar with the concept of online food shopping and who are willing to use an online food shopping service. Older people, females, major shoppers, and people with lower incomes are less likely to be familiar with the concept of online food shopping. Those consumers willing to consider using online food shopping services are those familiar with the concept of online food shopping, those who find convenience as...

Partial versus General Equilibrium Calorie and Revenue Effects of a Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Tax
Provedor de dados: 31
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...

Spatial Asymmetry in Farm-Retail Price Transmission Associated with Fluid Milk Products
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Sherwell,   Pablo.
Testing for asymmetric price transmission and calculating elasticities of price transmission are of great importance in applied economics.  We analyze the behavior of tests for asymmetry according to the conventional Houck approach and to the von Cramon-Taubadel and Loy error correction model (ECM) approach.  We also estimate the short-run and long-run elasticities of price transmission between the farm and retail levels of the marketing channel for whole milk and two-percent milk for seven U.S. cities by model.  We employ monthly data over the period from January 1994 to October 2002.  Empirical results suggest that the farm-retail price transmission process for milk is asymmetric.  Price transmission elasticities in conjunction with rising farm prices...

Concentration in Beef Packing and Slaughter Cattle Pricing
Provedor de dados: 31
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.

An Assessment of Future Markets for Crops Grown Along the Columbia River: Economic Implications of Increases in Production Resulting from New Agricultural Water Rights Under the Columbia River Initiative
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Williams,   Gary W.
This report examines the likely effects of additional agricultural water rights under the Columbia River Initiative (CRI) on net crop revenues (hay, orchards, vegetables, potatoes, wheat, and other crops) in the state of Washington over the next 20 years. This study corrects for four potentially serious methodological flaws made in two previous studies associated with the CRI and concludes that those studies substantially overestimated the net revenues accruing to producers in the Columbia River area from new irrigated acreage under the CRI. In fact, the net revenues are more likely to be negative than positive. Methodological errors made in the two previous studies lead to results that support a policy prescription that is just the opposite of what would...

In this study we modeled demand interrelationships of at-home nonalcoholic beverage consumption in the United States using a unique data set developed using Nielsen HomeScan panel data of household purchases of nonalcoholic beverages over the period January 1998 through December 2003. We used 72 monthly observations of expenditure shares, real prices and real per capita expenditures of 10 unique categories of nonalcoholic beverages in a full-blown AIDS model with an adjustment for seasonal (quarterly) variability in data.   Compared to similar studies done in the past, our study used a rich delineation of nonalcoholic beverage categories, and in particular introduced isotonics for the first time. Furthermore, our study provided more information about...

Obesity is one of the most pressing and widely emphasized health problems in America today. Beverage choices made by households have impacts on determining the intake of calories, calcium, caffeine, and vitamin C. Using data from the Nielsen Homescan Panel over the period 1998–2003, and a two-way random-effects Fuller-Battese error components procedure, we estimate econometric models to examine economic and demographic factors affecting per-capita daily intake of calories, calcium, caffeine, and vitamin C derived from the consumption of nonalcoholic beverages. Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of the USDA 2000 Dietary Guidelines in reducing caloric and nutrient intake associated with nonalcoholic beverages.

Analysis of Marketing Margins under Food Recalls and BSE Outbreaks in the U.S. Beef  Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
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...

This study examines the impact of consumers'’ use of food labels on selected nutrient intakes of Americans. Endogenous switching regression techniques are employed to control for heterogeneity in the label use decision. When the nutrient intakes of label users and the expected nutrient intakes of label users in the absence of labels are compared, food label use decreases individuals'’ average daily intakes of calories from total fat and saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium by 6.90%, 2.10%, 67.60 milligrams, and 29.58 milligrams, respectively. In addition, consumer nutrition label use increases average daily fiber intake by 7.51 grains.

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.

Non-traditional retailers such as warehouse club stores, discount drug stores, and discount mass merchandisers are new competitors for traditional food retailers.  It is expected that non- traditional retailers will account for roughly 14 percent of total grocery sales by the turn of the century.  The impact of a particular discount mass merchandiser (Wal-Mart) on the sales of a conventional retail grocery outlet (David's Supermarket, Inc.) located in the rural areas surrounding the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex is analyzed in this case study.  In this case study, Wal-Mart alone is responsible for about a 17 percent reduction in sales.

ASSESSING EFFECTS OF PRICES AND ADVERTISING ON PURCHASES OF FINFISH AND SHELLFISH IN A LOCAL MARKET IN TEXAS
Provedor de dados: 31
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: 31
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.

Micro-Demand Systems Analysis of Non-Alcoholic Beverages in the United States: An Application of Econometric Techniques Dealing With Censoring
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Alviola,   Pedro A., IV; Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Wu,   Ximing.
A censored Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) and a Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS) were estimated in modeling non-alcoholic beverages. Five estimation techniques were used, including the conventional Iterated Seemingly Unrelated Regression (ITSUR), two-stage methods such as the Heien and Wessells (1990) and the Shonkwiler and Yen (1999) approaches, the generalized maximum entropy method and the Amemiya-Tobin framework of Dong, Gould and Kaiser (2004). Our results based on various specifications and estimation techniques are quantitatively similar and indicate that price elasticity estimates have a greater variability in more highly censored non-alcoholic beverage items such as tea, coffee and bottled water as opposed to less censored...

The authors found that food retailers would incur sizeable incremental costs depending on the mix of labor and capital utilized if a dual tax structure was imposed.  Thus, the tax savings to consumers then would be offset not only by the recoupment of the lost revenue by government, but also by the incremental costs incurred by the food retailers.

A COMPARISON OF DEMANDS FOR MEAT PRODUCTS IN THE PACIFIC RIM REGION
Provedor de dados: 31
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.

Using IRI Infoscan data pertaining to six types of spaghetti sauces and employing an extension of the demand systems framework developed by Duffy, estimates are obtained of own-price, cross-price, and total expenditure elasticities as well as own- and cross-product advertising elasticities.  We augment the Duffy model through the use of a polynomial inverse lag mechanism to deal with the carryover effects of advertising.  We also account for the impacts of features in newspaper fliers, in-store displays, and coupons.  Advertising efforts by industry leaders in spaghetti sauce produce positive own-advertising elasticities (ranging from -.000003 to -.0094).  Own-price elasticities are in the elastic range, and nearly all compensated cross-price effects are...

Autores: Leister,   Amanda M.; Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Rosson,   C. Parr, III.
The implementation of the Central America-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) has expanded trade opportunities for U.S. agricultural producers.  U.S. beef is an important product affected by the agreement, and the United States Meat Export Federation (USMEF) invested in a new product promotion program to increase exports of U.S. beef to Guatemala.  Consumer responsiveness and the effectiveness of the U.S. branded beef promotion program are analyzed in this study. Demand responses to promotion activities that launched three new U.S. beef value cuts in Guatemala’s Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional (HRI) sector were estimated by applying the Parks Model of Generalized Least Squares regression to pooled, time-series and cross sectional data....

Autores: Kim,   Sung-Yong; Nayga,   Rodolfo M., Jr.; Capps,   Oral, Jr.
The role of health knowledge in consumer use of nutritional labels on food packages is explored using data from the 1995 Diet and Health Knowledge Survey.  Two types of label use models, a binary choice label use model and a level of label use model, are employed with particular attention given to the endogeneity of health knowledge.  The binary choice model is concerned with factors affecting the probability of label use.  The level of label use model deals with factors affecting the number of food products in which label use occurred.  The results show that health knowledge has a significant role in increasing label use.

Nonparametric statistical methods (the Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn's multiple comparison procedure) were used to analyze consumer preferences for fresh meat products (chicken, beef steak, beef roast, fish, ground beef, pork, turkey, and lamb) in a retail food chain in Houston. On a pairwise basis, significant differences in ratings were evident for the majority of the fresh meat products in terms of frequency of purchase as well as taste and quality. In particular, chicken was not only the most frequently purchased fresh meat product but also compared favorably to all meat items in terms of taste and quality.

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...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Byrne,   Patrick J.; Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Saha,   Atanu.
U.S. households spend nearly one-half of their food budget for food away from home (FAFH) with an increasing share for fast-food facilities.  These trends can impact the structure of the food distribution industry, nutritional intake of U.S. households, and demand for goods at the farm level.  This analysis investigates the effects of socioeconomic and demographic variables, both on the decision to consume FAFH by facility and on the decision of how much to spend on FAFH by facility.  Based on National Panel Diary data, three facility types are considered: quick-serve, mid-scale, and up-scale.

EFFECT OF GENERIC ADVERTISING ON THE DEMAND FOR FLUID MILK: THE CASE OF THE TEXAS MARKET ORDER
Provedor de dados: 31
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.

STRUCTURE OF THE FRESH ONION MARKET IN THE SPRING SEASON: A FOCUS ON TEXAS AND ITS COMPETITION
Provedor de dados: 31
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...

Factors affecting marketing margins were identified and assessed using a relative price spread technique.  Margins were disaggregated into slaughter-to-wholesale and wholesale-to-retail for a more complete understanding.  Marketing costs, concentration, demand, and price were used to explain variations within these margins.  Results showed that packer concentration had a significant effect on margins.  Forces of supply and demand (as represented by production and market price) and changes in marketing costs also explained the variation in margins.  A higher degree of price transmission from slaughter-to-wholesale level was observed in comparison to the wholesale-to-retail level.

Autores: Mjelde,   James W.; Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Griffin,   Ronald C.
Impacts of alternative specifications for heteroscedastic error structures are examined by estimating various production functions for corn in Central Texas. Production- and profit- maximizing levels of input and the shape of the profit equation obtained from models not corrected for heteroscedasticity differed from those obtained from models corroded for heteroscedasticaity. Using the profit-maximizing input levels for each production function gave essentially the same estimated yield and profit, regardless of the specification for heteroscedasticity employed. Differences of up to one-quarter to one-third are noted, however, in the amount of profit-maximizing levels of input used, depending on the heteroscedasticity correction.

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.

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.

The demand for food away from home, food at home, and non-food items is investigated using a complete systems approach. Using the linear approximation of the dynamic version of the Almost Ideal Demand System, the results indicate that the share of total expenditure going to food away from home increases as the labor force participation rate of women increases. All expenditure elasticities are positive and all own-price elasticities are negative. Moreover, the demand for food away from home is more price sensitive than the demand for food at home. Seasonal patterns of consumption are also evident.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Love,   H. Alan; Williams,   Gary W.; Adams,   Wendi L.
Using daily fed cattle purchase transaction records collected by the Packers and Stockyards Programs over the period April 1992 to April 1993, we identify characteristics associated with the choices of fed cattle procurement and pricing methods.  The methodology involves the use of a multinomial logit model.  Regional concentration; processing capacity; number of head per lot; average weight per head; cattle type; yield grade, quarterly grade, seasonality, and distance from packing plants play a significant role in determining the methods of procurement and pricing chosen by packers.  The method chosen by packers to procure fed cattle also affects the choice of a given pricing method.

IMPORT DEMANDS FOR U.S. FRESH GRAPEFRUIT: EFFECT OF U.S. PROMOTION PROGRAMS AND TRADE POLICIES OF IMPORTING NATIONS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fuller,   Stephen W.; Bello,   Haruna; Capps,   Oral, Jr.
This study estimates import demands for U.S. fresh grapefruit in Japan, France, Canada, and the Netherlands.  Historically, these nations have imported about 90 percent of U.S. grapefruit exports.  Four import demand functions were specified and estimated by joint generalized least squares based on the sample period 1969I to 1988IV.  Results show that U.S. FOB price, per capita income of importing countries, exchange rates, price of substitutes, U.S. grapefruit promotion programs, and removal of trade restrictions have had an important effect on U.S. fresh grapefruit exports.  Analyses suggest that U.S. producers can effectively promote fresh grapefruit in foreign markets, and that trade concessions have an important influence on grapefruit exports.

Autores: Nayga,   Rodolfo M., Jr.; Capps,   Oral, Jr.
This article examines the impact of socio-demographic factors on individual consumption of alcohol in the United States using the Heckman procedure and logit analysis.  Factors considered are urbanization, race, ethnicity, region, weight, height, sex, food stamp participation, employment status, diet status, day of consumption, household size, age, and income.  All the variables, with the exception of ethnicity and food stamp participation, significantly influence the decision to consume alcohol.  Results also indicate that urbanization, region, sex, food stamp participation, and household size significantly affect the level of alcohol consumption.

Assessing the Demand for a Functional Food Product: Is There Cannibalization in the Orange Juice Category?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Yuan,   Yan; Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Nayga,   Rodolfo M., Jr.
The demand for functional foods has increased notably in recent years due to growing consumer interest in diet and health issues. Currently, the food industry is introducing many types of new food products with functional attributes. Consequently, cannibalization is a critical issue for firms that offer multiple products within a certain product category. The identification and assessment of cannibalization are integral factors when making strategic decisions about new product introductions. Using scanner data from Information Resources, Inc. (IRI), pertaining to a particular functional food, namely a phytosterol-enriched product for orange juice, we find that no cannibalization effects exist with respect to its introduction. We also provide estimates of...

The Impact of Retail Promotion on the Purchase of Private Label Products: The Case of U.S. Processed Cheese
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bouhlal,   Yasser; Capps,   Oral, Jr.
This study examines the impact of retail promotion on the purchase of private label products. The influence of private label coupons, national brand coupons, and store features is examined. To identify these effects, a logistic model Probit is estimated where the binary variable equals 1 if the household buys the private label product, and equals 0 if the private label product is not bought. The model gives the probability that Y=1 is chosen conditional on a set of explanatory variables. In this study we focus on the American processed cheese transactions and we use the ACNielsen Homescan Panel of U.S. households for the year 2005. No significant relationship was found between private label purchase and the level of private label couponing activity....

Autores: Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Williams,   Gary W.
This report is an empirical analysis of the effectiveness of the marketing/promotion, nonagricultural research, and agricultural research activities associated with the cotton checkoff program over the period of 1986/87 through 2004/05. The analysis is based on a multi-equation, econometric, non-spatial, price equilibrium simulation model of U.S. and foreign fiber markets using annual data. The key average annual impacts of the cotton checkoff program on U.S. and foreign cotton and man-made fiber markets and their associated textile markets are reported. The results show that the returns to cotton producers as well as to cotton importers from the cotton checkoff program are positive. The average discounted benefit-cost ratios (BCR) for the cotton checkoff...

Nonresponse is a pervasive and persistent problem in survey data. This research reviews several methods for imputing missing values. A special emphasis is placed on the multiple imputation methods as a more generalizable advanced remedy to missingness. An empirical application of these methods, along with a regression or conditional mean imputation, is provided. Contingent upon certain properties of data, inference based guidance to the choice and implementation of these methods is provided.

IMPACT OF FOOD CONTAMINATION ON BRANDS: A DEMAND SYSTEMS ESTIMATION OF PEANUT BUTTER
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bakhtavoryan,   Rafael; Capps,   Oral, Jr.; Salin,   Victoria.
A 2007 foodborne illness incident involving peanut butter is linked with structural change in consumer demand. Compensated and uncompensated own- and cross-price elasticities and expenditure elasticities were calculated for leading brands before and after the product recall using the Barten synthetic model and weekly time-series data from 2006 through 2008. Statistically significant differences in price elasticities for the affected brand, Peter Pan, were absent. After a period of 27 weeks, this brand essentially recovered from the food safety crisis. Significant differences in price elasticities were evident among non-affected brands. Hence, spillover effects and heightened competition are associated with the recall.
