The U.S. Regional Ferrous Scrap Model analyzes spatial variations in prices for two grades of ferrous scrap using a logistic model of choice under differentiated products. The model uses a computer-generated equilibrium framework to solve for prices that support the observed spatial distribution...

The "U.S. Regional Ferrous Scrap Model" analyzes spatial variations in prices for two grades of ferrous scrap using a logistic model of choice under differentiated products. The model uses a computer-generated equilibrium framework to solve for prices that support the observed spatial...

This research draws on an extensive database at the plant level to analyze capacity changes in the in the integrated sector of the U.S. steel industry over the period 1974-1991. Reduced form models are developed using panel data from this period with the objective of isolating the market forces...
