The Welfare Effects of Deregulatin Producer Prices
提出一种评估放松管制(如降低价格支持)对生产者福利影响的方法,考虑不确定性的变化,并以澳大利亚小麦产业为例,发现不同方案下生产者福利有增有减,短期与长期福利效应相似。
Abstract A method is presented for examining producer welfare impacts of a range of deregulation proposals, including a reduction in price support. Welfare impacts take account not just of expected transfer effects but of changes in the uncertain conditions facing producers. The method is applied to deregulation proposals for the Australian wheat industry. Results suggest producers would benefit under some proposals but be made worse off under others. Supply responses also are estimated and shown to be generally smaller in percentage terms than are short‐run welfare effects. It is argued that short‐run and long‐run welfare effects are similar.
