Price supply response of vegetable growers in the Sultanate of Oman
研究了阿曼蔬菜种植者对价格变化的反应速度，发现调整较快但部分作物短期和长期调整较低，且种植决策受竞争作物价格影响，对市场发展和作物改良项目有参考价值。
Information on supply price elasticities has been acknowledged as being very important for decision makers at the macro and micro levels. This paper presents an empirical investigation of vegetable growers' responses to prices in Oman. It develops a single supply response function incorporating adaptive expectation model for prices. Results indicate that growers adjust relatively fast to changes in expected prices. However, these adjustments are rather low for some crop in the short- and longrun. Growers' production decisions have also shown a significant response to prices of other products competing for farm space and other production resources. These results will support efforts aimed at market development and crop enhancement programs. © 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
