摘要
This paper investigates the rationality and price responsiveness of sugar cane and coffee farmers in Jamaica for the period 1960-1980. The out put supplied by these farmers is modeled to incorporate anticipation by farmers of commodity board actions. The structure of constraints imposed by the rationality of these anticipated responses is derived and tested by means of a likelihood ratio test statistic. The results support the joint hypothesis of rationality and price responsiveness. Policy implications of the anticipated response function are also identified.
