Aggregate U.S. agricultural supply response is modeled through a modified partial adjustment model, where the effects of weather and other temporal stochastic effects are structured to be purely static, while the effects of price and technology, or trend, are dynamic. The model is applied to a...

The separability hypothesis and expenditure as an exogenous variable in a system of conditional demands are analyzed. Expenditure cannot be weakly exogenous in a system of conditional demands specified as functions of the prices of the separable goods and total expenditure on those goods....

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...
