An Integrated Investment—Supply Response Model for U.S. Agriculture

Author

  • Vasavada, Utpal

Abstract

A system of dynamic investment demand and output supply equations is consistently estimated utilizing recent advances in dynamic duality theory. Results indicate that labor, capital services, and land adjust sluggishly to relative price changes. This can be construed as a form of asset fixity within aggregate U.S. agriculture.
