The UA Campus Repository is experiencing systematic automated, high-volume traffic (bots). Temporary mitigation measures to address bot traffic have been put in place; however, this has resulted in restrictions on searching WITHIN collections or using sidebar filters WITHIN collections. You can still Browse by Title/Author/Year WITHIN collections. Also, you can still search at the top level of the repository (use the search box at the top of every page) and apply filters from that search level. Export of search results has also been restricted at this time. Please contact us at any time for assistance - email repository@u.library.arizona.edu.

| dc.description.abstract | The Agricultural Marketing Agreements Act of 1937 allows groups of specialty crop producers to form marketing orders to affect various aspects of the market in which they sell. Two of the three major tree nuts--almonds and walnuts--operate under marketing orders. This study examined the question of whether or not the third major tree nut industry--pecans--should follow suit. An econometric model of the demand side of the tree nut industries was developed and used in simulations to see how prices and total revenues in the pecan industry would change under different assumptions as to the existence, or form, of a marketing order. The results showed that over the simulation period--1988 to 1992--the industry would benefit from the formation of a marketing order that limited quantities reaching the primary market, and used the surplus for developing new markets. | |
