Download or read book An Integration of Market Structure Theory and Decision Making in Selected Agricultural Industries written by Howard Alden Gilbert and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research was designed to test the applicability of commonly accepted market structure theory to firm behavior within agricultural processing industries. The research was primarily concerned with testing the influence of relative firm size on discretionary management decisions. Statements from economic theory concerning structural influences on behavior comprised the hypotheses. Three firms of differing relative size in each of five industries provided data indicating actual behavior. The size variable in market structure (measured by industry concentration) was approached using a reagency approach identifying concentration by the relative size of the firm whose behavior is influenced. This is contrasted with the commonly used algorismic approach (which emphasizes the number of firms in the industry) and physiognomic approach (emphasizing the proportion of industry output handled by a given absolute number of the industry's largest firms). The ratio of actual to quoted prices was inversely correlated with concentration as hypothesized from decreasing demand elasticity. However, evidence was not consistent enough to warrant great confidence in the conclusion. The ratio of firm output to that which would result with alternative competitive selling markets did not show the hypothesized inverse relationship with concentration. Inter-firm dissimilarity of hierarchy of factors which limit output (including structure of the selling market) appeared responsible. The ratio of actual investment to hypothetical competitive investment did not decrease with increased concentration as hypothesized. Frequency of technical innovation failed to vary directly with concentration and flexibility of investment failed to vary inversely with concentration, as hypothesized. The three investment hypotheses were based on theoretical decreasing investment security with concentration. The hypothesized positive correlation between relative promotional expenditures and concentration due to lower cross elasticity of demand was observed, although a similar relationship for product differentiation was not evident. The hypothesized influence of concentration was observed in only one of the eight included decisions, but concentration was observed to influence behavior in other ways. Small firms frequently were price leaders, particularly for downward price changes. A dissimilarity was noted between medium firms' decisions and the more similar small and large firms' decisions, particularly relating to investment per unit of output, proportional unused capacity, preference of working capital to fixed investment, and relative costs of product differentiation and non-promotional selling costs. In summary, market structure, measured by the reagency approach, influenced behavior as hypothesized in only two of the eight analyzed decisions. The pricing process was influenced by concentration more strongly than was price level. Also, medium sized firms behavior shows more consistency than trends over continua of firm sizes. Five alternate hypotheses are suggested for further study: (1) Minimum prices (reflecting minimized per unit costs plus minimum profits) vary inversely with concentration. (2) Small firms exercise downward price leadership in industries of heterogeneous firm size. (3) Ratios of actual to competitive output vary inversely with industry concentration within groups of firms encountering similar hierarchies of constraints. (4) Firms which expand output have less discretion for further relative expansion than those which refused comparable past opportunities. (5) Medium sized firms' philosophies are more growth oriented than those of larger or smaller firms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book showcases the power of economic principles to explain and predict issues and current events in the food, agricultural, agribusiness, international trade, natural resources and other sectors. The result is an agricultural economics textbook that provides students and instructors with a clear, up-to-date, and straightforward approach to learning how a market-based economy functions, and how to use simple economic principles for improved decision making.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chinese agri-food industry is evolving into an imperfectly competitive market in our observation. The issue deserves more attention from the policymakers since any negligible departure from the perfectly competitive market in agriculture would generate enormous extra profits for firms and welfare loss for the society. This consequence is determined by the agricultural industry's natures of small price elasticity of demand and frequent consumption behaviors. Therefore, ignoring imperfect competition in the marketing sector may result in erroneous government implements and policy recommen...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growth in the productivity of the global food and agricultural system will be largely determined by today's investments in research and development (R and D). In recent decades, the private sector has become a major player in developing innovations for food and agriculture. Factors spurring private companies to invest in food and agricultural research include the emergence of biotechnology and other new scientific developments, the strengthening of intellectual property rights (IPR) over agricultural innovations, new regulatory requirements, the expansion of markets for improved agricultural inputs and food products, and rising consumer demand for more diverse foods. This book evaluates investment trends by for-profit companies in food manufacturing, biofuel, and agricultural input R and D and explores how these trends are affected by changes in market demand and industry structure.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Market Structure of the Food Industries: Marketing Research Report No. 971 Many structural changes have occurred in the farm products marketing system during the past two decades or more. In nearly every line of business, firms have declined in number and risen in size. Output of most industries has been increasingly concentrated among the largest firms. Retailing, whole saling, and food manufacturing have grown more integrated. Technological developments, improved transportation possibilities, and economies of size represent the major explanations for the changes. To the extent that alterations in market structure have increased efficiency or improved product variety and quality, agricultural producers and consumers, as well as marketing firms, have benefited. However, producers and consumers frequently express concern about other consequences of changes in market structure, particularly as to the extent and type of competition among firms. Producers are perhaps most concerned about increasing concentration and backward integration of marketing activities. As marketing activities are performed or controlled by a smaller number of firms, producers' bargaining power may be impaired. Moreover, large food retailing organizations and food processors are likely to possess more extensive and current information about market conditions than are producers. Consumers are concerned about the efficiency and performance of marketing industries because charges for processing and distribution services account for about two-thirds of the total retail cost of farm foods. Market structure is widely recognized as a relevant variable affecting conduct and performance of food industries, although precise correlation of structure and performance has not been possible. The study reported on here was undertaken to identify and measure some of the broad changes which have occurred in the structure of food marketing industries in the past two decades. Where possible, these changes have been related to changes in the behavior of firms and the overall performance of food industries. However, it was beyond the purpose of this study to analyze in great detail the performance of the marketing system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural trade has become an integral part of world agriculture. During the 1970s, the real growth in world agricultural trade was phenomenal. For example, the value of U. S. agricultural exports alone increased more than fivefold during this period. In April, 1978, a small group of West Coast agricultural economists (Hillman, Josling, Sarris, Schmitz, King, and McCalla) met to form what is now called the International Trade Consortium which is financed, in part, by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and Agriculture Canada. One of the products of this project was a book published in 1979 by A. F. McCalla and T. E. Josling (editors), Imperfect Markets in Agricultural Trade, Allenheld, Osmun and Co., 1981. In the same vein, this book is a result of an International Trade Consortium meeting held in Berkeley, California, in the early 1980s.
