The demand for U.S. feed grain is estimated using a six-equation simultaneous model. Four different utilizations of feed grain and feed grain price as well as the number of animal units fed are estimated. The reduced form of the model is used to provide forecasts of the endogenous variables for...

In 1969, formula feed manufacturers utilized 23.1 percent of all the feed grains and wheat fed to livestock. Estimates of aggregate demand by the mixed feed ind.:-stry for corn, oats, barley, grain sorghum, and wheat are presented. As expected, all of the feed grains have elastic demands. Grain...

Separate demand equations for national brand and private label frozen concentrated orange juice were estimated using a switching regression model. The results indicate that the demand for national brand frozen concentrated orange juice is more price responsive than the demand for private label...

The main objective of this paper is to test the hypothesis that consumer preferences for beef in the United States have been affected by structural change, which reduces to testing for parameter stability in estimated demand equations. To this end, alternative specifications of the demand...
