Farm profitability can be increased through the selection of genetically superior animals as future breeders. In genetic improvement programs, candidates for breeders are ranked by the profitability of their offspring, expressed as a weighted sum of the genetic gain from selection. Genetic...

This paper uses time-series data to examine the relationship between public research and development (R&D) and extension investment and productivity growth in Australian broadacre agriculture. The results show that public R&D investment has significantly promoted productivity growth in...

A plethora of approaches to modeling market power has been reported in the literature. These can be broadly divided into one-side and two-side behavioral models. This paper uses versions of these models to develop a theoretical framework to test market power in the output and input markets in...
