A Methodology for Investigating the Importance of Government Intervention in Farmers' Decisions

Author

  • Richard E. Just

Abstract

A methodology for empirical investigation of the importance of subsidies, price supports, allotments, and diversion programs in agricultural supply response is developed and applied. Inclusion of the interdependent effects of government programs for competing crops is emphasized. Since at least some aspect of the institutional arrangements governing a group of competing commodities is often modified, a substantial part of the paper is devoted to the consistent representation of differing combinations of government program provisions in a single model of supply response. Alternative modifications and interpretations of the model for dealing with highly correlated government program variables are then considered.
