出口作物的国内价格是主要出口国重要的宏观经济变量。它们不仅是商业周期的关键决定因素,而且在解决分配冲突方面发挥着关键作用。本文利用一个在完全最优环境下生产者委托定价决策的模型,探讨了营销委员会的再分配功能与稳定功能之间的关系。模型的结果以及经验证据表明,不同的制度安排有助于解释各国宏观经济表现的差异。对哥伦比亚、哥斯达黎加、科特迪瓦和肯尼亚的咖啡进行了分析。
Domestic prices of export crops are important macroeconomic variables in primary-exporting countries. Not only are they key determinants of the business cycle, but also play a pivotal role in the resolution of distributive conflicts. Using a model where producers 'delegate' pricing decisions in a fully optimizing environment, this paper explores the relationship between the redistribution and stabilization functions of marketing boards. The results of the model, as well as the empirical evidence, suggest that different institutional arrangements are helpful in explaining differences in macroeconomic performance across countries. The analysis is carried out for coffee in Colombia, Costa Rica, Cote d'Ivoire and Kenya.
