Econometric Models of Cash and Futures Prices of Shell Eggs

摘要

A series of econometric models which analyze economic relationships in the egg industry and provide short-term predictions of egg prices were developed for this study. The major emphasis of these models is formulating and estimating shortrun supply-demand relations which are believed to be the basic price-determining forces in the cash and futures market for eggs. Data for 1961-69 were used in developing the multiequation models.
