Abstract: The study evaluates the efficiency of government intervention using a vertically-structured model including imperfectly competitive agricultural input markets, a bread grain market, and an imperfectly competitive food industry. An actually observed bread grain policy is compared to a hypothetical efficient policy. Computer-intensive simulation procedures and surface response functions are utilized to account for the sensitivity of model results with respect to 10,000 normal distributed parameter sets.
