摘要:

AbstractA quarterly model is used to determine the effect of alternative government programs evaluated over a range of elasticities on the total income of farmers, government expenditures, and the cost to plants of raw milk. A reduction in price supports reduces farmers' revenue by more than three times with price support when compared to quota and more than nine times with assessment when compared to quota. The higher the elasticities, the smaller the total revenue loss to dairy farmers and the smaller the total revenue difference among policies.

摘要:

AbstractConsumer demand for dairy products in Canada has undergone drastic changes over the last two decades. Milk equivalent of all dairy products consumed has declined by 20%. This is largely explained by the significant reduction in per capita consumption of butter from 7.2 kilograms in 1961 to 4.2 kilograms in 1982. Meanwhile consumption of fluid milk has remained constant and the consumption of variety cheeses, processed cheese, and yogurt has shown substantial growth. However, the growth in demand for these products is becoming increasingly constrained by the price increases.

摘要:

AbstractThe California‐Arizona lemon industry, after a long history of using fresh market shipment controls, operated during 1985‐1986 without using the weekly prorate provisions of its federal marketing order. This article compares the level and variability of weekly shipments and prices for the, 1985‐1986 crop year with the previous nine years when fresh market prorates were used every week. Fresh market shipments increased during most of 1985‐1986 and prices were below the level expected. Weekly shipments and prices were more variable during the year without prorate than during most of the preceding nin

摘要:

AbstractThe seemingly unrelated regression technique was used to study the relationships between exchange rates and foreign demand for US fresh grapefruit. Annual observations for the period from 1972 through 1986 were used in the analysis. Results demonstrate that (1) when studying export demand relationships, exchange rates play an important role and the deletion of exchange rates from the analysis may result in inaccurate parameter estimates; and (2) US fresh grapefruit has more than one export market, with different markets responding differently to price changes.

摘要:

AbstractFactors influencing alfalfa hay markets are identified. Alfalfa hay acreage response, demand, and price forecasting models are developed and estimated for California, using econometric and time‐series (ARIMA) techniques. The estimated models are used for forecasting alfalfa acreage and prices, and evaluating the dominant market forces. The econometric and time‐series models are compared on the basis of their forecasting ability and usefulness in economic analy

摘要:

AbstractThe Uruguay round of GATT negotiations is working towards the reduction of agricultural subsidies. In addition, the United States and Canada have agreed to freer trade in grains if the respective subsidy levels become equalized in the two countries. This article quantifies the level of income transfers to United States and Canadian grain farmers over a 15 year period. It was found that government support to agriculture was no higher in the mid 1980s than it was in the early 1970s. Transfers have generally been lower for feed grains in the United States than they have been in Canada. The opposite is true for wheat. The equalization of annual subsidies will be difficult to bring about given the extreme differences which exist between the United States and Canadian farm programs.
