One empirical and two methodological concerns form the basis of this paper: (i) the empirical concern is to estimate income multipliers associated with foreign trade for Portugal; (ii) one methodological...
This paper shows how an approximate competitive market equilibrium may be computed as the solution to a linear programming model, when production possibilities are described by activity analysis vectors...
Agricultural production, particularly in developing countries, is generally a risky process, and considerable evidence exists to suggest that farmers behave in risk averse ways. Yet risk considerations...
A linked five-country agricultural model (MOCA), which describes conditions of production, demand, trade, and price and income formation in each of five Central American countries, is described. The model...
A procedure for representing competitive and noncompetitive market structures in linear programming (LP) models is presented. The specification of the objective function follows from the choice of market...
This paper develops structures for multiproduct demand sets which permit determination of alternative market forms in linear optimization models. In these structures, market equilibrium prices become endogenous...
