While the market shares of these milk types are still small, specialty milk consumption is one of the fastest growing consumer segments in the dairy industry. Therefore, it is of interest to producers, consumers as well as the policy-makers to identify the consumer profile of these products and to determine policies based on the consumer choices. In the article, there are utilised the actual consumer sales data to see whether the USDA's dairy policy follows the consumers' milk preferences. The results indicate that the household demographics significantly affect milk preferences. Race is by far the most striking factor in the consumers' decision process. Minority households have a much higher probability of purchasing specialty milk types than the white households. They are also loyal customers of the specialty milk types and are less responsive to the changes in factors that affect their purchase decision. Based on these findings, there is recommend an alternative policy to the USDA's one-size-fits-all type of dairy guidelines.}, number={6}, journal={AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS-ZEMEDELSKA EKONOMIKA}, author={Gulseven, Osman and Wohlgenant, Michael}, year={2017}, pages={271–282} } @article{koksal_wohlgenant_2016, title={How do smoking bans in restaurants affect restaurant and at-home alcohol consumption?}, volume={50}, ISSN={["1435-8921"]}, DOI={10.1007/s00181-015-0986-z}, number={4}, journal={EMPIRICAL ECONOMICS}, author={Koksal, Aycan and Wohlgenant, Michael K.}, year={2016}, month={Jun}, pages={1193–1213} } @article{koksal_wohlgenant_2016, title={Pseudo panel data estimation technique and rational addiction model: an analysis of cigarette, alcohol and coffee demands}, volume={47}, ISSN={["1574-0862"]}, DOI={10.1111/agec.12237}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={4}, journal={AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS}, author={Koksal, Aycan and Wohlgenant, Michael}, year={2016}, month={Jul}, pages={375–386} } @article{gulseven_wohlgenant_2015, title={A quality-based approach to estimating quantitative elasticities for differentiated products: an application to retail milk demand}, volume={49}, ISSN={["1573-7845"]}, DOI={10.1007/s11135-014-0094-8}, number={5}, journal={QUALITY & QUANTITY}, author={Gulseven, Osman and Wohlgenant, Michael}, year={2015}, month={Sep}, pages={2077–2096} } @article{srivastava_mclaren_wohlgenant_zhao_2015, title={Disaggregated econometric estimation of consumer demand response by alcoholic beverage types}, volume={59}, ISSN={["1467-8489"]}, DOI={10.1111/1467-8489.12095}, abstractNote={The paper presents estimates of price elasticities of demand for 12 disaggregated alcoholic beverages in Australia: premium beer, full strength beer, low alcohol beer and mid-strength beer; red bottled wine, white bottled wine, sparkling wine, cask wine; dark and light ready-to-drink (RTD); and dark and light spirits. These disaggregated categories correspond closely to the commodities of interest to public policymakers with respect to taxation and health policies. The system of demand equations is estimated with Nielsen's data using a semiflexible Almost Ideal Demand System model in order to impose negative semi-definiteness on the demand parameters. Results indicate elastic own-price elasticities for virtually all commodities. Cross-price elasticities suggest that beverages most linked with negative externalities, namely full strength beer, dark RTD and dark spirits, may need to be taxed jointly. Any proposed tax increase to cask wine may also result in consumers shifting demand to more undesirable beverages. The elasticity estimates are used to illustrate the effect of a hypothetical change towards taxation equalisation based on alcohol content.

Next, using these implicit prices along with the information on households' demographic background, we analyzed the socio-demographic factors that affect consumer demand for specific functional and nutritional enhancements. The model is estimated using a combined panel data set based on AC Nielsen Retail Homescan Panel and the USDA Nutrient Database. Our results indicate that being lactose/cholesterol free (LFCF) and organic implies substantially higher price premiums, whereas soy has a negative price. Socio-demographic factors such as income, racial profile, presence of children; education level and age have significant effects on the demand for functional enhancements. Specialty milk consumption increases with age, education, and presence of kids, whereas it declines with income.

Studies on market power in meatpacking indicate that concentration in procurement of livestock (cattle or hogs) has not adversely affected prices received by producers or prices paid by consumers. Indeed, there is evidence that producers may be better off because of lower processing costs due to the concentration and introduction of new technical innovations. Policies to restrict alternative marketing arrangements such as those proposed by GIPSA would make producers and consumers worse off. The beef and pork industries are quite complex and contain both spatial and temporal dimensions that can affect the level of competition. Fringe producers because of locational shift of industry and thin markets may be worse off. Establishment of niche enterprises may benefit these producers.

The welfare analysis is based on two alternative scenarios, a hypothetical percentage increase in the price of the commodity and a hypothetical percentage decrease in the amount of subsidy. The latter is considered to be a simultaneous problem in which the exact price of the commodity that reduces consumption, and subsequently the subsidy to the specific target level needs to be determined first. As a case study, the paper utilizes the most recent Household Expenditure Survey in the State of Kuwait to estimate residential electricity demand for different household groups (i.e., low-, middle-, and high-income), and employs a partial equilibrium model to measure the welfare implications that may result from a reduction in the electricity subsidy rates. The empirical findings show that a small increase in the price of electricity would reduce annual consumption by 4741 million kWh and annual subsidy by US$734 million. The results also show that the loss in consumers’ welfare is approximately US$145 million, while the financial and environmental benefits to the society ranges between US$658 million and US$889 million. The magnitude of these welfare gains suggests that electricity price reforms combined with a rebate scheme to compensate households for their welfare loss, offsetting any political resistance to reform, is a win-win situation.}, number={2}, journal={ENERGY ECONOMICS}, author={BuShehri, Mahmoud A.

In this paper we show how this method can be used to develop a general test for oligopoly and oligopsony behavior. The test exploits the fact that, under price-taking behavior, there is a known, fixed relationship between changes in input prices on output supply and changes in output price on input demands. The model and test developed are shown to be quite general and not dependent on empirical estimates of output demand and input supply. We apply this test to the U.S. beef processing industry. Because of the high level of market concentration in this industry, there is concern that beef packing firms are exercising market power in the purchase of finished cattle by keeping cattle prices below competitive levels and in the sale of packed beef by keeping prices above competitive levels.

We show that a positive relationship between the aggregate price spread and the agricultural raw material price could result from input substitution between the raw material input and other inputs in response to changes in the relative raw material price. Indeed, within a composite product group there is likely to be significant input substitution, in response to changes in relative input prices, because of the increased opportunities for efficiency gains from altering the composition of the heterogenous commodities within the composite product. Therefore, when analysing aggregate price spread behaviour of agricultural commodities using data on composite product, one should be cautious in attributing observed markup pricing behaviour to market power resulting from imperfect competition.

Standard formulas for calculating producer surplus based on linear industry supply and demand curves are strictly valid only if the analysis is restricted to short‐run equilibrium behaviour.}, number={3}, journal={AUSTRALIAN JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND RESOURCE ECONOMICS}, author={Wohlgenant, MK}, year={1997}, month={Sep}, pages={385–400} } @article{wohlgenant_1993, title={DISTRIBUTION OF GAINS FROM RESEARCH AND PROMOTION IN MULTISTAGE PRODUCTION SYSTEMS - THE CASE OF THE UNITED-STATES BEEF AND PORK INDUSTRIES}, volume={75}, ISSN={["0002-9092"]}, DOI={10.2307/1243571}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={3}, journal={AMERICAN JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS}, author={WOHLGENANT, MK}, year={1993}, month={Aug}, pages={642–651} } @article{wohlgenant_clary_1992, title={Development and measurement of farm-to-retail price linkage for evaluating dairy advertising effectiveness}, volume={44}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Agricultural Economics Research}, author={Wohlgenant, M.

Estimates with monthly data can differ from those with longer data periods. This is because habit formation relative to inventory adjustment decreases as the time interval decreases (Sexauer). With short time periods such as a month, inventory demand tends to dominate demand for use. If inventory demand is more elastic in the short run, the total elasticity of demand can increase as the time interval is shortened.
