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...

In this study, the impacts of Florida Department of Citrus (FDOC) orange juice (OJ) advertising on U.S., OJ demand and the price received by Florida growers are examined.

Sao Paulo and Florida are the primary producers of orange juice. Both regions face production challenges. In this paper, a model of the world orange juice market is used to analyze the effect of citrus greening and high sugarcane prices on the production and price of orange juice.

and this is a problem when estimating log-linear gravity equations. This has caused many researchers to either ignore the zero trade flows or to replace the zero with a small positive number. Both of these actions bias the resulting parameter estimates of the gravity equation. In this study we...

In the mid-2000’s, Goldman Sachs identified two groups of emerging economies known as the BRICs and the Next-11. Primarily selected on the basis of having large populations, these countries were heralded as the growth centres of the future with the potential to stimulate increased demand for a...

The issue of identification of the parameter α0 in the price index of the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) is examined. In nearly all empirical studies, the model’s likelihood function has been extremely flat in α0, and this parameter has not been able to be estimated. Assumed values are...

Timber used in the production of lumber in Southwestern Ontario varies in a number of characteristics and the lump-sum stumpage price is expected to reflect differences in those characteristics. When heterogeneous inputs are used in production, the hedonic price function approach may be used to...

The demand for U.S. feed grain is estimated using a six-equation simultaneous model. Four different utilizations of feed grain and feed grain price as well as the number of animal units fed are estimated. The reduced form of the model is used to provide forecasts of the endogenous variables for...
