Price supply response of vegetable growers in the Sultanate of Oman
研究了阿曼蔬菜种植者对价格变化的供给反应，发现种植者调整速度较快但短期和长期弹性较低，且生产决策受竞争作物价格影响，对市场发展和作物改良项目有参考价值。
Abstract Information on supply price elasticities has been acknowledged as being very important for decision makers at the macro and micro levels. This paper presents an empirical investigation of vegetable growers' responses to prices in Oman. It develops a single supply response function incorporating adaptive expectation model for prices. Results indicate that growers adjust relatively fast to changes in expected prices. However, these adjustments tire rather low for some crop in the short‐and long‐run. Growers' production decisions have also shown a significant response to prices of other products competing for farm space and other production resources. These results will support efforts aimed at market development and crop enhancement programs.
