Evaluation of the influence of agricultural price policy on cotton production in Côte-d'Ivoire
研究了科特迪瓦棉花营销委员会的定价政策对棉花生产的影响，构建理论模型推导最大化收入的价格水平，并估计动态供给函数计算弹性，发现农民对价格变化有反应且定价政策与政府创收目标一致。
Abstract In this paper the impact of the cotton pricing policy of the marketing board of Cote-d'Ivoire is investigated. A theoretical model is developed to derive the price level which maximizes revenue generated from the marketing board's cotton transactions. A dynamic cotton supply function was estimated and used to compute elasticities. The estimates indicate that farmers in the Country response to price changes and that the pricing policy of the marketing board has been consistent with an objective of generating revenue for the government.
