| Description |
This study focuses an annual production and inventory decisions of Greek sheep producers by modelling producer behaviour in the context of the capital stocks theory. Producers response was analysed via the use of econometric procedures. Aspects of lamb and sheep (mouton) supply, inventory level changes and ewe breading were tackeled one at a time. The results show that prices influence producer's decisions in opposite directions. Specifically, where - as lamb meat pricheese ces positively affect production, sheep meat prices as well as milk and feta prices are inversely related to the volume of production. It seems that the demand for stock building finally balances with that for slaughtering. |
