| dc.description.abstract | This thesis aims (a) at estimating the response of the output and marketable surplus of rice to price incentives, for the Philippines as a whole and for each of the several regions, and (b) at determining existing relationships among rice prices at different market levels. The latter aim is handled by straightforward methods for analyzing secular trend and seasonal variation. A competitive model for the rice economy of a region is constructed, of which the output response function is a part. An important consideration is that a significant portion of rice output is channeled towards home consumption. Among the estimation models considered, the simple linear and the distributed lag adjustment models are used to estimate output response, and Krishna's indirect method is used to estimate marketable surplus response. Price response is estimated to be positive, at levels comparable with those computed for other Asian underdeveloped countries. The response estimates and the estimated relationships among rice prices at different market levels provide needed empirical bases for policy decisions, particularly those regarding government support for rice farm prices. | |
