No 316222, Agricultural Economics Bibliography from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Excerpt from the Foreword: This bibliography is to a certain extent a supplement to the foreign section of Agricultural Economics Bibliography, No. 18, Price Fixing by Governments 424 B.C.-1926 A. D. It differs from it in that it deals exclusively with direct price fixing and is only incidentally concerned with indirect price fixing and price stabilization and control. Hence references to such price-influencing schemes as coffee valorization in Brazil, the Chadbourne sugar plan, the Stevenson rubber plan, Egyptian cotton restriction, Cuban sugar restriction, Canadian wheat pools, the Paterson butter plan in Australia, or to the numerous measures adopted in many countries requiring the admixture of stipulated percentages of domestic wheat in the manufacture of flour for domestic consumption have been omitted. Measures adopted to control or stabilize prices, such as levies, quotas, licenses, price equalization or the granting of bounties are omitted. References to guaranteed prices and the so-called price insurance schemes are included.
