Food inflation pass‐through from agricultural imports in a small open economy
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This paper develops a new framework for quantifying cost pass‐through in a small open economy by estimating firm‐level markup responses to agricultural import price shocks. We show theoretically that markup adjustments depend on firms' reliance on imported inputs and demand curvature, generating heterogeneous inflationary effects across firm ...

Cross-Sectional Estimation of U.S. Demand for Beef Products: A Censored System Approach
Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2002 Demands for beef products are investigated using the U.S. Department of Agriculture's 1987-88 Nationwide Food Consumption Survey data. The censored translog demand system is estimated with full-information and simulated maximum-likelihood procedures ...
