Our working … parameter sigma, we derive the resulting marginal distribution of the approximated GBM. This allows us to derive post-estimation … results for the technically more-complicated formulae associated with our post-estimation process. We discuss an assortment of …

Periodic shortfalls of organic food have been commonplace in the USA. Shortages, created when demand grows faster than supply, have been exacerbated by relatively slow growth of certified organic farmland (in comparison to growth in retail sales) over the past decade. Organic intermediaries,...
