| Title: | ANALYSIS OF MARKETING MARGINS IN THE U.S. LAMB INDUSTRY |
| Authors: | Capps, Oral, Jr.
Byrne, Patrick J.
Williams, Gary W. |
| Issue Date: | 1995-10 |
| Abstract: | Factors affecting marketing margins were identified and assessed using a relative price spread technique. Margins were disaggregated into slaughter-to-wholesale and wholesale-to-retail for a more complete understanding. Marketing costs, concentration, demand, and price were used to explain variations within these margins. Results showed that packer concentration had a significant effect on margins. Forces of supply and demand (as represented by production and market price) and changes in marketing costs also explained the variation in margins. A higher degree of price transmission from slaughter-to-wholesale level was observed in comparison to the wholesale-to-retail level. |
