Pareto improvements that require no information about individual characteristics are analyzed. Initially, equilibrium must be production inefficient. After the policy change, consumer prices differ from producer prices, but allocations, although second-best, are Pareto superior and production efficient. Policy implementation is modeled as a dynamical system that governs aggregate consumer wealt...

abstract main objective of this paper is to investigate the impact of exchange rate misalignment on wheat’s producer estimates (pse), using the 1989-2007 period’s data. for this purpose, vector error correction model (vecm) along with the use of real exchange rate based on purchasing power party (ppp) was applied to estimate nominal equilibrium exchange rates. then, by using market price suppor...

This paper formulates a two-echelon single-producer multi-buyer supply chain model, while a single product is produced and transported to the buyers by the producer. The producer and the buyers apply vendor-managed inventory mode of operation. It is assumed that the producer applies economic production quantity policy, which implies a constant production rate at the producer. The operational pa...

The central notion of COOL, to provide consumers with information about the source of beef products, seems simple enough and not likely to generate much inherent opposition. However, the issues involved in development of the COOL law and the implementation in the beef industry have proven to be the source of significant contention. Much of the support for the inclusion of COOL in the 2002 Farm ...

Over the last several years, there has been a nation-wide intensification of policies directed at increasing the level of renewable sources of electricity. These environmental policy changes have occurred against a backdrop of shifting economic regulation in power markets that has fundamentally redefined the mechanisms through which investors in power plants earn revenues. Rather than base paym...
