Composition of the National Sheep Flock and Specification of Equilibrium Prices and Quantities for the Australian Sheep and Wool Industries, 2002-03 to 2004-05
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mounter,   Stuart W.; Griffith,   Garry R.; Piggott,   Roley R.; Fleming,   Euan M.; Zhao,   Xueyan.
The data used, and the methods and assumptions fundamental to the development of an equilibrium displacement model (EDM) of the Australian sheep and wool industries specified in Mounter et al. (2007), are contained in this report. The national sheep flock is disaggregated into Merino and non-Merino sheep in the three agricultural zones of Australia using 2002-03 Australian agricultural and grazing industries survey data. Opening and closing sheep numbers, death rates and weaning percentages were used to derive the supply and use of sheep in each zone. Annual shorn wool production was split into four fibre-diameter categories in each zone corresponding to ABS wool export categories. Wool production percentages and relative greasy fleece weights were used to...

DECOMPOSING THE VARIANCE OF GROSS REVENUE INTO DEMAND AND SUPPLY COMPONENTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Piggott,   Roley R.
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...

Distribution of Gains from Cattle Development in a Multi-Stage Production System: The Case of the Bali Beef Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ambarawati,   I Gusti Agung Ayu; Zhao,   Xueyan; Griffith,   Garry R.; Piggott,   Roley R.
Beef production in Bali is dominated by smallholders, just like the majority of Indonesian agriculture. A wide range of policies has been implemented to enhance development of the Bali beef industry. Knowledge about the distribution of the returns from the development of the cattle industry, including marketing, informs decision making. This paper examines the benefits from cattle development in a multi-stage production representation of the Bali beef industry using equilibrium displacement modelling (EDM). Benefits are measured as changes in economic surplus. The distribution of benefits among farmers, processors and retailers is also examined.

Economic Evaluation of New Technologies and Promotions in the Australian Sheep and Wool Industries
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mounter,   Stuart W.; Griffith,   Garry R.; Piggott,   Roley R.; Fleming,   Euan M.; Zhao,   Xueyan.
Knowledge about the size and distribution of returns from alternative broad types of R&amp;D and promotion investments permit strategic-level decisions about resource allocation, both within and across research programs. The Australian sheep meat and wool industries are characterised by strong cross-commodity relationships due to the joint product nature of the industries. An equilibrium displacement model of the Australian sheep meat and wool industries was developed to account for these relationships and any indirect benefits and costs arising from spill-over and feedback effects between the industries as a result of research-induced innovation or promotion. The potential annual returns and their distribution among the various industry sectors were...

EFFECTS OF PAST AUSTRALIAN WHEAT PRICE POLICIES ON KEY INDUSTRY VARIABLES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Myers,   Robert J.; Piggott,   Roley R.; MacAulay,   T. Gordon.
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.

PROFITABILITY OF INCREMENTAL EXPENDITURE ON FIBRE PROMOTION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hill,   Debbie J.; Piggott,   Roley R.; Griffith,   Garry R.
In this paper the impact of changes in wool promotion expenditure and changes in expenditure on the promotion of competing fibres are examined using an equilibrium displacement model. The emphasis is on examining impacts on producer profits net of promotion expenditure and on benefit-cost ratios measuring changes in producer surplus relative to changes in promotion expenditure. It was found, for example, that incremental expenditure on apparel wool promotion on the domestic market is unprofitable but incremental expenditure on promotion of apparel wool on the export market is generally profitable. Further, it was found that increased promotion of cotton and man-made fibres on the export market, with promotion of apparel wool unchanged, would reduce profits...

A LINEAR PROGRAMMING SOLUTION TO SOME MARKET ALLOCATION PROBLEMS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Piggott,   Roley R.
Certain market allocation problems involving linear average net revenue functions can be solved by linear programming. The technique can be applied to an objective function derived from linear marginal net revenue functions, the objective being to force each marginal net revenue as near to zero as possible given the constraint set. If a particular problem is suited to a linear programming solution, researchers may prefer to use this technique rather than more sophisticated optimization methods.

PROFITABILITY OF INCREMENTAL GENERIC PROMOTION EXPENDITURE BY AUSTRALIAN DAIRY FARMERS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hill,   Debbie J.; Piggott,   Roley R.; Griffith,   Garry R.
The motivation for this study rests on two factors.  First, Australian dairy farmers spend around $20 million annually on generic promotion and estimates of the returns from this expenditure are required to facilitate efficient investment decisions.  Second, while the Australian dairy industry is currently highly regulated despite a substantial reduction in assistance over the past decade, manufacturing milk subsidies are to be eliminated by 2000 and market milk regulations are being reviewed.  The profit potential of promotion may vary with the degree of regulation, so past estimates of the returns from promotion may not hold in the competitive environment of the future.  Hence, the aim of this study is to examine the effects of government intervention on...

ESTIMATING SOURCES OF FLUCTUATIONS IN THE AUSTRALIAN WOOL MARKET: AN APPLICATION OF VAR METHODS
Provedor de dados: 31
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...

ELASTICITY OF SUPPLY AND THE INCENTIVE FOR COLLUSIVE BUYING
Provedor de dados: 31
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.

A Note on Price Levelling and Price Averaging in Sydney Retail Vegetable Price Spreads
Provedor de dados: 31
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...

THE ELASTICITY OF AGGREGATE AUSTRALIAN AGRICULTURAL SUPPLY: ESTIMATES AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS
Provedor de dados: 31
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.

COMBINATIONS OF BUFFER-STOCKS AND BUFFER-FUNDS FOR WOOL PRICE STABILISATION IN AUSTRALIA
Provedor de dados: 31
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.

The Dual Approach to Research Evaluation:A Simplified Empirical Illustration
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hill,   Debbie J.; O'Donnell,   Christopher J.; Piggott,   Roley R.; Griffith,   Garry R.
In this paper, the dual approach to ex ante research evaluation in a multiple-input, multiple-output industry is explained and demonstrated. A simplified, illustrative model is developed based on a number of fundamental characteristics of the Australian wool industry and output-augmenting technical change. A normalised quadratic restricted profit function of Australian wool production is specified in terms of effective rather than actual prices. The estimated short-run supply elasticities are quite inelastic. The results of the simplified model show that the development and adoption of a 10 per cent yield-increasing wool technology would result in a 19.6 per cent fall in the actual price of wool and a 9.8 per cent increase in the actual quantity of wool...

The Payoff from Generic Advertising by the Australian Pig Industry in the Presence of Trade
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mounter,   Stuart W.; Griffith,   Garry R.; Piggott,   Roley R.
The Australian pig meat industry today competes in a global market environment, with significant quantities of both pork exports and pork imports for further processing. In March 2003 Australian Pork Limited (APL) launched a advertising campaign to raise domestic per capita consumption of pork, and increase consumer awareness and preference for identified Australian pig meat. This is funded from producer levies. Over the period 2003 to 2005, APL advertising expenditure is forecast to be at least 15 per cent above 2001-02 domestic advertising expenditure levels. Domestic advertising expenditure by APL for the 2002-03 financial year was actually 30 per cent above the previous year's level. The question is whether these pig producer funds are being well...

AGRICULTURAL SELLING CARTELS: RELATIVE CO-OPERATOR AND NON-COOPERATOR GAINS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Piggott,   Roley R.
An analytical framework is developed for assessing the relative gains accruing to co-operators and non co-operators in a cartel arrangement involving production quotas. Key parameters determining the relative gains are identified. The values of these parameters in the context of Australian agriculture could result in greater gains for non co-operators than for co-operators. Suggestions are offered on some types of information that should be sought in feasibility studies before cartels are established.

A Multilevel Economic Analysis of the Wheat Market in Pakistan
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ashfaq,   Muhammad; Parton,   Kevin A.; Griffith,   Garry R.; Piggott,   Roley R.
Government price policy in Pakistan affects both the supply and demand of wheat. The wheat market has been established in a particular idiosyncratic manner in Pakistan, and a thorough appraisal of policy needs to take this into account. Hence, to analyse various policy interventions, this study develops a multi-level wheat market model. After considering the real world aspects of the wheat marketing chain, a conceptual framework is developed involving five market levels. This is then translated into a multi-equation econometric model. The model is based on secondary time series data from 1971 to 1996. It consists of equations representing supply, demand, stock holding, importing and price formation. The model is used to estimate changes in consumer...

Measuring the Impact of Staple Strength-Enhancing Technologies on Australian Wool Producer Profits: A Duality-Based Approach
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Templeton,   Deborah J.; Griffith,   Garry R.; Piggott,   Roley R.; O'Donnell,   Christopher J.
Wool tenderness is a significant problem in Australia, especially in areas where sheep graze under highly seasonal conditions.  In this study, a duality-based modeling framework is implemented to assess the economic impact of staple strength-enhancing research on the profits of Australian woolgrowers.  Within this framework, a normalized quadratic profit function is specified and estimated.  The model is based on a number of fundamental characteristics of the Australian wool industry and the staple-strength enhancing technology being assessed.  The model consists of a system of equations that are specified in terms of effective, rather than actual, prices.  The interrelationships between the netputs are allowed for in the model in a manner that is...

Testing for Market Power in Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output Industries: The Australian Grains and Oilseeds Industries
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: O'Donnell,   Christopher J.; Griffith,   Garry R.; Nightingale,   John J.; Piggott,   Roley R.
Recent empirical studies have found significant evidence of departures from competition in the input side of the Australian bread, breakfast cereal and margarine end-product markets. For example, Griffith (2000) found that firms in some parts of the processing and marketing sector exerted market power when purchasing grains and oilseeds from farmers. As noted at the time, this result accorded well with the views of previous regulatory authorities (p.358). In the mid-1990s, the Prices Surveillence Authority (PSA 1994)determined that the markets for products contained in the Breakfast Cereals and Cooking Oils and Fats indexes were “"not effectively competitive”"(p.14). The PSA consequently maintained price surveillence on the major firms in this product...

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...

An Equilibrium Displacement Model of the Australian Beef Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zhao,   Xueyan; Mullen,   John D.; Griffith,   Garry R.; Griffiths,   William E.; Piggott,   Roley R.
Around $100 million has been spent annually on R&amp;D and promotion in the Australian red meat industries in recent years. The R&amp;D investments are made throughout the production, processing and marketing chain in both the grass and grain finished sectors. Promotion investments are made in both export and domestic markets. Despite this large investment of industry and government funds there is great uncertainty about the returns from these investments. Not only is it unclear what the total industry returns are but it is even less clear how producers and the community benefit from the many alternative investment options. Hence, it is unclear how funds should be allocated between these alternatives.   Zhao (1999) addressed these issues in research for...

Recent empirical studies have found significant evidence of departures from competition in the input side of the bread, breakfast cereal and margarine end-product markets. In this study we specify a general duality model of profit maximisation that allows for imperfect competition in the input and output markets of the grains and oilseeds industries. The model allows for variable-proportions technologies and can be regarded as a generalisation of several models appearing in the agricultural economics and industrial organisation literatures. Aggregate Australian data are used to implement the model for thirteen grains and oilseeds products handled by seven groups of agents. The model is estimated in a Bayesian framework. Results are reported in terms of...

This report documents the specification of an equilibrium displacement model (EDM) of the Australian sheep and wool industries. The model is capable of estimating and comparing the potential benefits from R&amp;D and generic promotion investments, and other policy changes, in the different sectors and markets of the Australian sheep and wool industries. Inclusive in the model are the multiple components of the Australian sheep and wool industries to account for cross-product interactions not considered in most previous studies. A high degree of industry disaggregation within the model enables estimation of the distribution of the potential benefits among the various industry sectors and across different regional environments.

The Relative Payoffs From R&amp;D and Generic Advertising Expenditure by the Australian Pig Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mounter,   Stuart W.; Griffith,   Garry R.; Piggott,   Roley R.; Mullen,   John D.
Australian Pork Limited collects producer levies and matching contributions from the Federal government (on some of the levy income), and uses these funds to invest in R&amp;D, domestic and export marketing campaigns and strategic policy development.  In 2003/04, more than $18 million in funds were available.  Levy payers and other stakeholders want to know that these funds are being well spent to generate positive net returns to the industry.  This issue is particularly important at present, with the Australian pig meat industry competing in a global market environment, producing significant quantities of pork exports but also facing significant quantities of pork imports for further processing.

Does Excluding Cross-commodity Interactions Matter? Beef and Lamb in Australia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dent,   Siobahn K.; Piggott,   Roley R.; O'Donnell,   Christopher J.; Griffith,   Garry R.
Australian broadacre agriculture is typified by strong cross-commodity relationships, where sheep and cattle grazing enterprises compete for pasture and both compete with wheat and other crops for land. Further, some commodities produced by multi-product farms are also used in the production of final products that are substitutes in demand, such as beef and lamb. Economic analyses of the beef market, for example, should also include consideration of the market for the related product, lamb. In this paper the effects of exogenous demand and supply shifters on the wholesale-farm price ratio in two closely related industries, beef and lamb, are examined in a Gardner type of model and the effects of excluding consideration of the cross-commodity interactions...

Our objective in this paper is to review the origins and main points of theories of firm behaviour used in economic theory and strategic management, with particular reference to the food marketing chain. We argue that while neoclassical economics may provide a robust framework in which to understand market outcomes for long run atomistic competition, such as conventionally modelled by agricultural economists, modern developments in both economics and strategic management add substantially to our ability to explain firm and market structures in the food marketing chain.
