The Role of Anticipated and Unanticipated Prices in Explaining Agricultural Supply Response

Abstract

The traditional supply response function is modified to include anticipated and unanticipated prices. Agricultural supply response functions for grains and livestock are specified and estimated within a rational expectations framework. Test results suggest that supply does not respond to anticipated prices in the same way as unanticipated prices for both commodities considered.
