Endogenous Quality And Agricultural Policy Analysis

Author

Listed:
  • James, Jennifer S.

Abstract

The typical analysis of agricultural policy assumes that the commodity of interest is homogeneous, and that it does not change as a result of policy implementation. This paper develops a model of agricultural policy analysis when the restriction of product homogeneity is relaxed and policy-induced quality responses are incorporated.
