The system-wide approach is used to develop an import allocation model based on blockwise dependence. The import demand system is parameterized using the absolute version of the Rotterdam model. Two empirical examples are given to illustrate the approach.

A model is developed to explain Florida citrus planting levels by variety. The varietal choice is based on the expected prices and price variances/covariances of the varieties under consideration. Overall planting returns are maximized for a given level of price risk. The model's price...
