Abstract: In an excess demand system where random weather shocks enter multiplicatively rather than additively, estimates of the underlying parameters will be in-efficient und~r the "small country" assumptioi:i and biased in the "large country" case. A Monte Carlo simulation demonstrates that the magnitude of the bias is potentially very large.
