Econometric Analysis of Supply Responsiveness in Traditional Agriculture: Millet, Sorghum and Rice Farmers in Mali

摘要

The Government of Mali's twin goals of reestablishing the country's position as a net grain exporter and maintaining reasonable domestic grain prices may be incompatible. This paper analyzes data for the period 1960-79 in order to examine Malian farmers' supply responsiveness and the welfare effects of government grain pricing policies.
