The impact of increasing input prices on the U.S. farm sector : a dynamic simulation approach
(1979)
Increasing costs of farm inputs in the last decade have caused much concern among the farm population and agricultural policy makers. In this study a dynamic simulation program of farm sector production and investment ...
The linkage between the government and farm sectors : an analysis of the effect of farm policy on the U.S. economy
(1987)
The objective of this study was to specify the linkage between the federal government and the farm sector in the U.S. economy. The farm sector is the recipient of federal monies under legislated price and income support ...
Industry structure, competitive strategy, and firm-specific intangibles as determinants of business unit performance towards an integrative model
(1994)
Determinants of business performance have been a major focus of research in the disciplines of marketing, strategic management and industrial organization economics during the last two decades. An examination of prior ...
A yield model for dryland wheat production
(1971)
Seasonal evapotranspiration from dryland and irrigated wheat plots at Goodwell, Oklahoma during a three year period (1964-1967) could not be adequately described, without the inclusion of a drainage model, from data ...
Capital market in agriculture : a disaggregated structural model
(1985)
The objective of this study was to develop an econometric simulation model of the U.S. financial sector that emphasizes the linkages between the financial sector and the farm sector. Demand and supply equations for eight ...
The substitutability of monetary assets : a variable preferences approach
(1986)
Measurement of the elasticity of substitution between financial assets is an important element in evaluating the role that the assets play in the economy. In this thesis, a price dependent utility function is used to examine ...
Liability management and floating-rate loan pricing as risk responses by commercial banks in providing agricultural credit
(1979)
Availability of credit to the farm sector through commercial banks has been a topic of concern for more than a decade. This study examines an operating policy for commercial banks which would tend to increase availability ...
Supply and demand for slaughter beef in the U.S. : a disaggregated econometric approach
(1978)
Analyses of commodity supply and demand functions generally do not evaluate relationships within the components of the commodity. Such aggregative approaches sometimes lead to generalizations with ambiguous conclusions. ...
A PDE formulation and numerical solution for a boll weevil-cotton crop model with soil water and light penetration
(1983)
A mathematical model that describes the population dynamics of a cotton crop and the boll weevil is discussed. A system of partial differential equations forms the model's core. A finite-difference solution procedure is ...
Consumer expenditures and economic inequality : an econometric analysis
(1983)
The present dissertation describes an economic model designed to predict changes in the inequality in consumer expenditures, associated with trends in economic development. Special emphasis is given to expenditures since ...
