Abstract: Four studies [2, 3, 7, and 11] and a comment [1] on the demand for fertilizer have appeared in this Revie-v.. All fit similar demand specifications to aggregate data for roughly the same time period. Surprisingly, each presents distinctly different results. Together, the studies provide 28 estimates of the price elasticity of fertilizer demand of which only seven are significant and even these range from - 1.21 to 0.46.1 The studies are split evenly on the policy issue of price subsidization.
