Resource Conservation Act Analysis: A Documentation of the Endogenous and Exogenous Livestock Sectors of the Agricultural Resource Interregional Modeling System
记录了农业资源区域间建模系统中的畜牧部门，区分了外生和部分内生两种类型，适用于分析生产变动、资源限制等对畜牧业的区域竞争影响。
One of the major sectors within the Agricultural Resource Interregional Modeling System is the livestock sector. There are two types of sectors developed in this manuscript. When location and rations of the livestock sector can be fixed, and the analysis is not going to significantly impact the sector, a fully exogenous sector can be implemented. However, in many cases location of livestock production depends on the competitive nature of each region. This can change as a result of a shift in production, resource limitations, resource surpluses, changes in resource availability or costs, etc. If the analysis is to evaluate the impacts these types of changes will have an livestock, then a partially endogenous livestock sector is required.
