in recent years, iran has experienced high level depreciation of the nominal exchange rate (ner). the ultimate effects of such depreciation on iranian families’ welfare and income distribution have been a challenging issue among policymakers and researchers. accordingly, this study evaluates the economic effects of ner depreciation on the rice market, using spatial price equilibrium model. the ...

This paper studies the usefulness of the P-model in the analysis of the behaviour of prices in Iranian economy. The P-model is based on the Quantity of Theory of Money. This model believes that the price level tends to move towards the equilibrium price level. The model uses price gap to forecast inflation, if the equilibrium price is greater than the current price, there is a tendency for the ...

introduction: market power is an important factor affecting welfare. existence of market power on the purchase side reduces supplier welfare. however, existence of market power on the sales side reduces supplier welfare. some believe that the agricultural market structure is a monopoly. in fact, most of the agricultural products can be purchased by small firms and then delivered to consumers be...

interest rate ad valorem tariffs are considered as the most prominent trade tools extensively used in the framework of spatial equilibrium models (sems) to analyze agricultural and food trade policies around the world. however the results obtained from such models have been criticized because of their inadequacy in producing any observed data within the base period. hence a positive spatial and...

the iranian poultry sector has experienced many significant structural changes in recent years. such changes may have influenced price dynamics and transmission of shocks through marketing channels especially on retail markets. this paper investigate price transmission, threshold behavior and asymmetric adjustment in poultry sector of ardebil (ar), east azerbaijan (ea) and west azerbaijan (wa) ...

The spatial price equilibrium model begins with the Hitchcock-Koopmans transportation problem as described by Dantzig (1963). The data for this model includes a set of suppliers I and a set of markets J , with supplies ai, demands bj, transport costs cij from supplier i to market j. Cast as a planning problem, this linear program seeks a transport schedule which minimizes the cost of supplying ...

This document gives a short introduction into Spatial Equilibrium modeling with GAMS. 1. Intertemporal-Spatial Price Equilibrium Solving spatial equilibrium models by mathematical programming is pioneered by [9],[12], [11], and [13]. One of the most basic forms is the transportation problem, also known as the “Koopmans-Hitchcock” model. An example is found in the GAMS model library in trnsport....
