Producer Attitudes Toward Peanut Market Alternatives: An Application of Multivariate Probit Joint Estimation
在假设无政府支持计划下，使用多元Probit联合估计模型分析花生生产者对不同市场替代方案的态度，发现对三种拟议的有组织市场均有相当支持，但选择应基于潜在交易者特征分析。
Abstract Attitudes of peanut producers toward different market alternatives were analyzed assuming the absence of the government support program. A multivariate probit (joint estimation) model for ungrouped data was utilized to ascertain profiles of producers favoring private treaty markets and proposed organized markets. The joint estimation model allows for and measures correlation among market alternatives for greater accuracy in profile analysis. The analysis suggests considerable support for all three of the proposed organized markets. However, choice of alternatives should be considered by a group of potential traders selected on the basis of the profile analysis.
