This study uses a rich dataset of 85 market pairs between January 2000 andOctober 2008 for Kenya, Tanzanian and Uganda, the three largest member countries ofthe East Africa Community, to analyze the factors determining national and cross-nationalmaize price transmission. Although the three...

This paper extends the basic results of Houck’s insight for derived demand elasticitiesfor the case of joint products by allowing for the possibility of the joint and rawproducts being traded. Theoretical relationships between individual demands for aset of jointly-produced commodities that...

A conceptual and empirical framework for estimating the effects of dairy advertising on farm prices and producer returns is developed The model consists of an industry-derived demand equation for milk linking advertising and government purchase. to farm price, and a government purchases equation...

A demand model is developed to examine the impacts on orange juice prices resulting from elimination or reduction of the tariffs on orange juice imposed by the United States, European Union, and Japan. An empirical analysis suggests that elimination of the U.S. tariff by itself would decrease...

This study examines imposing and testing restrictions on preference variables in the Rotterdam model through the impacts of these variables on marginal utilities. An empirical analysis of the impact of a female labor force participation variable in a Rotterdam demand system for fresh fruit...

This study adopted the scaling approach to examine the impacts of inventories on tuna auction prices in Japan using the Rotterdam inverse demand system. The inclusion of two inventory variables in the model only increases the number of parameters by two. Results indicate that frozen tunas are...

Nielsen ScanTrack data were used to study how income and prices influenced consumer juice beverage demand in the United States during the period from 1988-89 through 1991-92. Alternative differential demand models combining the features of the Rotterdam model and the almost ideal demand system...

The question of endogeneity of conditional expenditures, as well as prices, in conditional demand equations for justices is examined. Both conditional expenditures and prices were found to be uncorrelated with the conditional demand errors, based on Wu-Hausman tests. Conditional demand error...
