In spite of random swings during the period, the prices of most of Nigeria's agricultural export commodities continued to maintain the rising trend observed since the forth quarter of 1982. The trend reflects the continued decline in the supply of most of the commodities due to adverse weather conditions and in some cases natural disasters. Detailed analysis of developments in some of the major commodities markets are given in this article.

Multimarket Oligopoly, Jeremy I. Bulow, John Geanakoplos, Paul D. Klemperer

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Actions a firm takes in one market may affect its profitability in other markets, beyond any joint economies or diseconomies in production. The reason is that an action in one market, by changing marginal costs in a second market, may change competitors’ strategies in that second market. We show how to calculate the strategic consequences in market 2, of a change in conditions in market 1 or of a firm’s action in market 1. Qualitatively, the same results hold for both simultaneous markets and sequential markets: whether a more aggressive (i.e., lower price or higher quantity) strategy in the first …

The Exact Distribution Of Zellner's Sur, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper derives the exact finite sample distribution of the two-stage GLS (generalized least squares) estimator in a multivariate linear model with general linear parameter restrictions. This includes the seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) model as a special case and generalizes presently known exact results for the latter system. The usual classical assumptions are made concerning nonrandom exogenous variables and normally distributed errors.

Presidential Popularity And Macroeconomic Performance: Are Voters Really So Naive?, Henry W. Chappell Jr.

Faculty Publications

The article focuses on the relationships between the macroeconomic performance of political administration and their popularity or vote getting ability. All of the studies that has been performed to analyze the relationships agree that votes and popularity can be explained well by models which suppose that voters judge policy makers on the basis of retrospective evaluation of past macroeconomic outcomes. While conventional popularity functions assume that voters simply punish inflation and reward output or low unemployment, voters who understand the long and short run relationships noted above would evaluate policymakers differently. Inflation in a given period is largely determined by …

Layoffs, Wages And Unemployment Insurance, Kenneth Burdett, Bryce Hool

Research Collection School Of Economics

The influence of unemployment insurance on wage and layoff behavior is analyzed in the context of optimal labor contracts. Responses of contract terms to changes in economic parameters are shown to depend in general on the nature of the initial contract, the degree of workers' risk aversion, and the resolution of bargaining conflict. Layoffs are not necessarily reduced by an increase in experience rating or a reduction in the UI benefit. Product demand fluctuations tend to induce procyclical employment fluctuations but not wage fluctuation. An implication of optimal contracts with private insurance suggests a reason for government intervention in UI …

Organizing Production In A Large Economy With Costly Communication, Paul R. Milgrom, Robert J. Weber

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We show that in a large production economy, the cost of collecting the information required by a planner to set nearly optimal prices is negligible relative to the total output of the economy. The cost of collecting the information required to set a nearly optimal production plan for each firm in the economy is not negligible. This conclusion stands in contrast to common opinion that determining optimal prices requires as much information as determining an optimal plan.
