SABIIA - Sistema Aberto e Integrado de Informação em Agricultura (Sabiia)

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 Stochastic Production Investigation of Fish Farms in Ghana

Onumah, Edward E.; Acquah, H. de-Graft.

This paper considers the stochastic production frontier approach to analyse the technical efficiency and its determinants of fish farms in Ghana using a cross-section data of 150 farms. It considers the explicit effects of family and hired labour on production by setting the log-value of the zero-observation of these two sources of labour to zero with dummy variables. Results demonstrate that expected elasticities of mean output with respect to all input variables are positive and significant. Findings also show that family and hired labour used for fish farming in Ghana may be equally productive. Fish farms in Ghana are revealed to be characterised by technology with increasing return to scale. The combined effects of operational and farm specific factors...

Advertising and U.S. Nonalcoholic Beverage Demand

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...

Analysing Wine Demand With Artificial Neural Networks

Gerolimetto, M.; Mauracher, Christine; Procidano, I..

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.

Timber supply has traditionally been modelled using aggregate data. In this paper, we build aggregate supply models for four roundwood products for the US state of North Carolina from a stand-level harvest choice model applied to detailed forest inventory. The simulated elasticities of pulpwood supply are much lower than reported by previous studies. Cross price elasticities indicate a dominant influence of sawtimber markets on pulpwood supply. This approach allows predicting the supply consequences of exogenous factors and supports regular updating of supply models.

This paper estimates import demand functions for red meat and live cattle and investigates the impact of BSE and the trade ban on Canadian Cattle and beef on U.S. import demand elasticity using an error correction model (ECM). The results show that beef, pork, and live cattle were price inelastic prior to the BSE case. There has been statistical evidence of the effect of BSE and the trade bans on import demand elasticity in favor of more elastic demand. The effect is, however, quite small in absolute values for pork and beef imports and is relatively more elastic for live cattle. But the import demand elasticities of the three products are still inelastic. The use of ECM model provides efficient and robust estimates of the parameters.

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...

Competitividad de las exportaciones Bolivianas hacia el mercado Chileno en el marco del acuerdo de complementación económica Boliviano Chileno

Chuquimia Vargas, Humberto.

Con el propósito de evaluar la sensibilidad de las exportaciones bolivianas hacia Chile ante cambios en el tipo de cambio real bilateral (boliviano – chileno) y ante cambios en la apertura comercial de Chile, se estimó un modelo de ecuaciones simultáneas compuesto de tres ecuaciones: exportaciones bolivianas hacia Chile, tipo de cambio real boliviano chileno; y producto interno bruto chileno. Los resultados muestran que las exportaciones de Bolivia a Chile responden de manera inversa y elástica ante una apreciación del boliviano frente al peso chileno, ceteris paribus, rezagado un periodo posterior a la implementación del Acuerdo de Complementación Económica con Chile. Y responde de manera directa e inelástica ante cambios en la apertura...

Demand for fisheries products in Brazil

Scientia Agricola

Sonoda,Daniel Yokoyama; Campos,Silvia Kanadani; Cyrino,José Eurico Possebon; Shirota,Ricardo.

Fish consumption per capita in Brazil is relatively modest when compared to other animal proteins. This study analyses the influence of protein prices, other food prices and population income on the fish demand in Brazil. First, the problem of fish supply in Brazil is characterized. It is followed by reviews of the relevant economic theory and methods of Almost Ideal Demand System - AIDS and their elasticity calculations. A descriptive analysis of fish demand in Brazil using the microdata called "Pesquisa de Orçamento Familiar" (Familiar Budget Research) - POF 2002-2003 is presented. Finally, demand functions and their elasticities are calculated for two different cases: one considering five groups of animal proteins (Chicken; Milk and Eggs; Fish;...

DEMAND FOR HEALTHY FOOD IN THE UNITED STATES

Feng, Xudong; Chern, Wen S..

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...

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to calculate the price, cross, and Morishima Technical Substitution elasticities for the costs of manpower, supply of mulberry leaves, transportation, heating, and material, all of which play pivotal roles for producers in sericulture. A survey was conducted by face-to-face interviews with 207 farmers within the scope of the study. At the analysis phase of the study, the share equity translog cost model was used. The response of the producers to the production input prices were calculated as inelastic. The strictest demand for an input belongs to mulberry leaves (-0.051) and the highest elasticity for transportation costs (-0.314). Sericulture dependents on workforce and mulberry leaves and this activity in Turkey...

Demanda y distribución de agua en el norte de Sinaloa.

Demography and structures population of Actinostemon concolor (Spreng.) Müll. Arg. (Euphorbiaceae) in flooded areas in Southern Brazil

Torres Sombra, Jesús.

La disminución de los niveles de almacenamiento de agua en las presas de la región norte de Sinaloa y el incremento en su demanda para uso agrícola y residencial hacen urgente establecer políticas que promuevan la distribución y uso eficiente. Para conocer los factores que explican el comportamiento de la demanda de agua en los sectores residencial, agrícola, pecuario, industrial y comercial del norte de Sinaloa, México, se estimó un modelo de ecuaciones simultáneas, compuesto de diez ecuaciones y tres identidades. Los resultados indican que la demanda de agua en los sectores residencial, agrícola, pecuario, industrial y comercial responde de manera inelástica a cambios en el precio con elasticidades de -0.088, -0.125, -0.066, -0.082 y -0.005,...

The aim of this work was to analyze the size and spatial structures and demography of Actinostemon concolor (Spreng.) Müll. Arg. (Euphorbiaceae) in the flooded areas of Mata dos Godoy State Park. Fifty plots of 100 m² were established and three surveys were conducted. All the individuals were measured, mapped and divided into categories as seedlings, juveniles and adults. The coefficient of skewness, L-function of Ripley, and the matrix population models were used in the study. The population showed positive coefficient of skewness and the individuals were distributed in groups. The population growth rates (λ) were equal or lower than 1.0 and the adult survival and recruitment of juvenile to adult were the vital rates that most affected the values of λ....

Derived Demand for Cattle Feeding Inputs

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...

In addition to regional variations, demand for poinsettias was shown to depend on its price. Based on state-level data for 2005,demand in the Northeast and Midwest regions of the U.S. were found to be inelastic. This suggests that the market for poinsettias in both regions could support higher prices.
