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.

As the U.S. domestic demand for fresh grapefruit and grapefruit juice trends downward, the export markets become more and more important for the citrus industry. Prior research suggests that when studying export demand relationships, exchange rates play an important role. The purpose of this...

Preference variables are included in the inverse Rotterdam model based on the Tintner-Ichimura-Basmann relationship linking preference effects on quantities demanded to price effects and preference effects on marginal utilities. Restrictions are made on the effects of the preference variables on...

Tropicana introduced a new package design as part of its advertising and branding campaign, with the theme “Squeeze it’s a Natural in January 2009. Sales of the Tropicana Pure Premium line plummeted 20% between the January and February from the same period a year ago. Tropicana had changed...

The cross-section and time series model used in this study yielded a number of important estimates for OJ and GJ demand. The own- and cross-price elasticities were, in general, similar to those found in past studies. The dummy variable estimates to control for city size, seasonality and other...

In this study, city-by-city, weekly grocery store sales data were used to estimate the impacts of the FDOC, TV, RADIO and HC promotional programs. The estimates indicate that the RADIO program was effective, having a B/C of 1.4. For the TV and HC programs, benefits were less than costs.

In this study, an OJ model was developed to examine the optimal advertising-research mix to maximize Florida grower revenue net of the costs of these activities. The model is based on assumed coefficients reflecting the impacts of prices, advertising and research. The effects of prices on demand...

In this study, we examine the impacts of retail promotions and flu/cold incidences on the demand for orange juice using weekly Nielsen grocery orange juice sales statistics and the flu/cold incidences reported by Surveillance Data Inc. The cross-section time-series pooling technique proposed by...

In this paper, estimates of the impacts of various factors on the refrigerated OJ sales in Wal-Mart (WM) stores are presented. Data on WM stores, as well as grocery stores doing $2 million or greater annual business, across 52 Nielsen city markets (including the remaining U.S.) were studied....

This study shows how the mix of advertising and research that maximizes net revenue for a commodity can be approximated for given values of market prices, margins and quantities, along with price elasticities of supply and demand, and the elasticity of demand with respect to advertising and the...
