Aggregate dual models are specified to examine multiple-output production relationships in each of four major, geographically dispersed, agricultural states (California, Iowa, Texas, and Florida). Three locally-flexible functional forms (translog, generalized Leontief, and normalized quadratic)...

Designed for consistency with competitive theory, nonrejected simplifying assumptions and multi stage choice, aggregate dual models are specified of Texas agricultural production. Disaggregated own and cross price elasticities are derived for 25 commodity supplies and six input demands....

Own- and cross-price production elasticities, estimated in four major agricultural states (California, Iowa, Texas, and Florida), measure the sensitivity to price changes of as many as 25 individual crop and livestock output supplies and six input demands. While most responses were highly...

This study analyses the effect of household income and socioeconomic composition on household expenditure on beer. Tobit models are used in order to capture the response on the magnitude of beer purchases as well as the behavior of non-purchasing households. The results indicate, without regard...

El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en explicar el comportamiento del gasto en carnes en los hogares mexicanos, mediante la aplicación empírica de modelos probabilísticos de elección binaria tipo logit y probit. Los modelos permitirán verificar distintas hipótesis acerca de la asociación...

This paper studies the liberalization of the Mexican lemon market in a world perspective using a spatial equilibrium model with endogenous prices. Several scenarios were designed related to the lemon market involving the countries that integrate NAFTA, and MEUFTA, and the removal of commercial...
