Following the approach of Berndt, Fuss, and Waverman, a dynamic model for U.S. cigarette manufacturing is developed and factor demands estimated. Tobacco and capital stocks are treated as quasi-fixed inputs. The results indicate that there are significant adjustment costs associated with...

Factors unique to the turkey industry suggest that conclusions concerning market structure and demand specification drawn from aggregate poultry data cannot necessarily be extrapolated to the turkey industry. The Wu-Hausman endogeneity test is used to examine demand specifications and industry...

Excessive government losses and pressure from end users of peanuts have increased the likelihood of a peanut support price and quota reduction in the 1995 farm bill. This study analyzes the economic impacts of reducing the national quota support price on North Carolina farm income and rural...

This paper examines the supply response of the Greek pork market. A GARCH process isused to estimate expected price and price volatility, while price and supply equations areestimated jointly. In addition to the standard GARCH model, several different symmetric,asymmetric, and nonlinear GARCH...

This paper investigates volatility spillover effects, i.e. 'meteor showers' and 'heat waves', across consumer meat prices for lamb, beef, pork, and poultry. The empirical analysis used the methodology of the Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedastic (GARCH) approach. The empirical...

This article examines food price volatility in Greece and how it is affected by short-run deviations between food prices and macroeconomic factors. The methodology follows the GARCH and GARCH-X models. The results show that there exists a positive effect between the deviations and food price...
