Abstract

Evaluation of the beef checkoff is an ongoing effort. Using household data and aggregate beef disappearance data, recent results confirm earlier work by Ward and Lambert showing the effectiveness of the beef checkoff even though the impact on cattle prices is small relative to other factors. Problems with other models attempting to reproduce Ward and Lambert's earlier models are detailed and the specific problems associated with attempts to use other models compared with Ward and Lambert are shown.
