Because of its prominence in construction and international trade, OSB markets are likely sensitive to general economic conditions. In keeping with recent research, we examine regime-specific ERPT effects; we use a smooth transition vector error correction model. We also consider ERPT asymmetries associated with a measure of general macroeconomic activity. Our results indicate that during expansionary periods ERPT is modest, but during downturns, ERPT effects are larger.}, journal={NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS AND FINANCE}, author={Goodwin, Barry K. and Holt, Matthew T. and Prestemon, Jeffrey P.}, year={2019}, month={Nov} }

This period covers an era in which the widespread adoption of mechanical refrigeration greatly affected the ability to store and transport perishable commodities. These developments in turn altered the seasonal production and price structure for many commodities, including pork. We use a new class of time series models, time-varying smooth transition autoregressions (TV-STARs), to document both the structural change and the nonlinear features observed in seasonal patterns for the U.S. hog–corn price relationship during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.}, number={1}, journal={EXPLORATIONS IN ECONOMIC HISTORY}, author={Craig, Lee A. and Holt, Matthew T.}, year={2008}, month={Jan}, pages={30–50} }

Even so, attempts have not been made to model the potential nonlinear dynamics in the hog—corn cycle by using regime‐switching models. One popular alternative is Teräsvirta's smooth transition autoregressive (STAR) model, which assumes regime switching is endogenous and potentially smooth. In this article, we examine monthly data for the U.S. hog—corn cycle, 1910–2004. A member of the STAR family, the time‐varying STAR, is fitted to the data and its properties examined. We find evidence of nonlinearity, regime‐dependent behavior, and time‐varying parameter change.}, number={1}, journal={AMERICAN JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS}, author={Holt, MT and Craig, LA}, year={2006}, month={Feb}, pages={215–233} }

Theoretically consistent yet realistic and tractable models are developed for traders interested in hedging a portfolio. Results from a bootstrapping experiment used to construct confidence bands around the competing portfolios suggest that, whereas DP--GARCH outperforms the GARCH approach, they are statistically equivalent to the OLS approach when the markets are stable. Traders may achieve significant gains, however, by adopting the DP--GARCH model rather than the OLS approach when markets are volatile.

For example, the meatpacking industry has experienced many mergers and acquisitions leading to significant increases in industry concentration. In particular, the four-firm concentration ratio for steer and heifer slaughter, a frequently cited statistic and an important indicator of industry concentration, increased from 35.7% in 1980 to 79.8% in 1997 (USDA). There have also been significant regional shifts in livestock production and changes in marketing practices, with decreased use of public markets in many areas. For some products, traditional auction markets have been largely replaced by contract production and sales. Cattle inventories have also trended downward over the last two decades. This has been accompanied by decreases in the number of producers and, in some cases, with significant increases in the scale of operations. The vertical transmission of shocks among various levels of the market is an important characteristic describing the overall operation of the market. Of course, price is the primary mechanism by which various levels of the market are linked. The extent of adjustment and speed with which shocks are transmitted among producer, wholesale, and retail market prices is an important factor reflecting the actions of market participants at alternative market levels. The nature, speed, and extent of adjustments to market shocks may also have important implications for marketing margins, spreads, and mark-up pricing practices.
