Our analysis yields unbiased estimates of the unconditional impact of direct marketing on farm sales and reveals the heterogeneous effects that occur across the distribution of farm sales. The impacts of direct marketing efforts are uniformly negative across the UQR results, but declines in sales tend to grow smaller as sales increase. Producers planning to sell more in local outlets should expect sales to decline. Marketing experts and extension professionals can use this information to guide farmers who are considering initiating or expanding direct marketing activities. 000206596 650__ $$aMarketing 000206596 6531_ $$aDirect marketing 000206596 6531_ $$ainfluence functions 000206596 6531_ $$aunconditional quantile regressions 000206596 700__ $$aPark, Timothy A. 000206596 773__ $$q266$$o284$$tJournal of Agricultural and Resource Economics$$j40$$k2$$dMay 2015 000206596 8564_ $$92a867605-f653-40d5-be1d-4039e545f926$$s185445$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/206596/files/JAREMay20155Parkpp266-284.pdf 000206596 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/206596 000206596 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:206596$$pGLOBAL_SET 000206596 912__ $$nSubmitted by Taisiia Stanishevska (stani097@umn.edu) on 2015-07-02T14:59:27Z No. of bitstreams: 1 JAREMay20155Parkpp266-284.pdf: 185445 bytes, checksum: 4499edf80bd58f16a41e0c7fefd98341 (MD5) 000206596 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2015-07-02T14:59:27Z (GMT).
