摘要:

AbstractDemand for lauric oil (coconut and palm kernel) is derived from demand for final products, principally soap and confectionaries. Under current conditions of relative price and use, demand for lauric oil is highly price inelastic at about −0.2; income elasticity is about 0.6. Coconut and palm kernel oil used in the United States is all imported under a basic duty of three cents per pound. Since lauric oils are no longer used in butter substitutes and offer virtually no competition to domestic vegetable oils or butter and in some uses are complementary, no protection objective is served by the duty.

摘要:

AbstractThe standby milk pool is a voluntary supply‐management device. Through it the cooperatives in high‐priced markets, with little or no surplus, pay cooperatives in distant areas that have surpluses, to manufacture these supplies into butter‐powder or cheese where they are and to ship them in fluid form only when called for. Thus, recipient cooperatives in surplus areas share in the high‐priced deficit markets. Contributing cooperatives find it economical to: (a) pay for reserves, (b) pay for certainty that these reserves will not move unless called for. Thus they can bargain for premiums above federal order minimums.

摘要:

AbstractThe broiler industry has experienced rapid growth, instability, and structural change during the postwar period. A time‐series analysis of important industry variables is presented. Auto‐spectral methods are employed to investigate hypothesized 30‐month cycles, while cross‐spectral methods are utilized to determine if significant lead‐lag relationships exist between the various time series. Moreover, these methods, as well as complex demodulation, are used in an attempt to determine the effects of vertical integration. The results cast doubt on the hypothesis that regular cycles of approximately 30 months characterize the broiler industry and suggest that time differences (lead‐lag relationships) among various time series are not generally significant. The possible effects of vertical integration generally conform to intuitive notions.
