Abstract

In 1998, Thorn Apple Valley ceased slaughter operations at its Detroit, Michigan plant, the state's only major hog packing facility. We examine the plant closing's local impact via an investigation of whether prices received by Michigan hog producers decreased relative to hog prices in the Eastern Corn Belt.
