Agriculture and Changing Natural Gas Prices
分析1982至1987年间天然气价格上涨对农业的影响，通过连接计量经济模型（预测农产品需求与价格）和线性规划模型（模拟农业供给），进行短期多期分析。
For the period of analysis, 1982 through 1987, the impacts on agriculture that result from increasing natural gas prices are examined. Two types of models are used in the analysis -- econometric and linear programming. These models are linked together so that a short-run multi-period analysis can be conducted. The econometric model represents national demand for agricultural commodities and projects next year's price while the linear programming component is an agricultural supply model.
