Supply response of U.K. milk producers
利用英格兰西北部和西南部专业奶牛场面板数据,估计短期自身价格反应弹性,发现两个独立样本结果相似,联立模型弹性高于单方程模型。
Abstract Short‐run own‐price response elasticities are estimated from two samples of panel data for specialist dairy farms in the Northwest and Southwest of England. Although these farms are subject to milk marketing quotas, the free tradability of quotas enables them individually to adjust the output quite rapidly. Model specifications have been chosen to test the ability of panel data to directly reveal behavioral responses without the imposition of theoretical restrictions. Significantly, the two independent samples generate quite similar results, especially in terms of supply response measures. Stable and promising estimates are obtained with simultaneous models giving higher elasticities than single equation models.
