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，通过理论模型和动态供给函数估计了价格弹性，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 Côte‐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.
