ASYMMETRIC AGRICULTURAL SUPPLY RESPONSE: EVIDENCE FROM BANGLADESH AGRICULTURE
研究了孟加拉国糖厂区甘蔗供给对价格涨跌的不对称反应,发现价格上涨时面积弹性是下跌时的两倍以上,短期和长期均如此。
This paper investigates whether sugar cane supply in the mill zones of Bangladesh responds asymmetrically to a price rise and a price fall by estimating several models suggested in the literature on agricultural supply. It is found that sugar cane area, in the event of a price rise, is more than twice as elastic as in the event of a price fall, and that this is true both in the short run and the long run.
