Abstract
A quarterly econometric model of supply response I the U.S. Hog industry is constructed. This model incorporates relevant biological features of hog production directly into the structural specification. dynamic mean path elasticities of the model are analytically derived with the results indicating behavior which is consistent with economic intuition.
