Abstract

In the last twenty years, the pork meat market in the United States was modified in many aspects including changes in concentration of the pig and pork production as well as on progress in the vertical coordination. The large production and the involvement of large capital does not allow producers to restrict production in a period of falling prices of pigs. As a result, fluctuations in supply, being the most important element of "hog cycle" is characterized by decreasing their amplitude. It is accompanied by changing of the cobwebs model from periodic to convergent fluctuations. However, regardless of small variations in production, pig prices are characterized by the same large amplitude fluctuations and their frequency as in previous decades. This happens due to two reasons. On the one hand, according to economic theory inelastic demand is accompanied by flexibility of prices. On the other hand, the pig prices are influenced by exchange rates of currencies with respect to dollar of the countries trading with the United States. Synopsis. W ostatnich dwudziestu latach rynek wieprzowiny w Stanach Zjednoczonych został poddany głębokim przemianom polegających na koncentracji podmiotów na wszystkich poziomach produkcji trzody i wieprzowiny oraz na postępie w koordynacji pionowej. Duża skala produkcji i zaangażowanie dużego kapitału nie pozwalają producentom na ograniczanie produkcji w okresie spadku cen trzody. W rezultacie wahania podaży, a więc najistotniejszy element w mechanizmie „cyklu świńskiego” charakteryzuje się malejącą amplitudą wahań. Oznacza to zmianę modelu pajęczyny z periodycznego na model wahań zbieżnych. Pomimo relatywnie małych wahań produkcji, ceny trzody cechuje tak samo duża amplituda wahań i częstość ich występowania jak w poprzednich dziesięcioleciach. Dzieje się tak, z dwu powodów. Z jednej strony zgodnie z teorią ekonomii usztywnionemu popytowi towarzyszy giętkość cen. Z drugiej strony na ceny trzody wpływ mają także kursy dolara do walut krajów, z którymi Stany Zjednoczone prowadzą handel zagraniczny.
