Abstract: This study provides a theoretical background for the firm-level analysis on the distributional effects of commodity promotion programs. The conceptual basis of this approach is that firms differ due to differences in possessing endowments of fixed factors, and net returns to firms can be viewed as rents accruing to these factors. Therefore, the marginal return from an increase in demand due to a successful generic promotion programs may not be the same across firms because firms do not have the same level of fixed factors. The result of our analysis indicates that producers may not equally benefit from the collectively funded programs. Our marginal profit analysis indicates that a producer-financed promotion program may have greater benefits for producers with more endowed fixed factors than those with less endowed fixed factors.[EconLit citations: M370 and Q130]. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
