The paper uses a nonparametric approach (the SIR-CIR algorithm) to assess if US wheat millers are able to extract a rent from the deficiency payment program. Our analysis concluded that millers exerted market power and they extraxted a rent that was approximately the 10% of wheat price, by artificially reducing farmgate prices.

Abstract

Our analysis concluded that millers exerted market power and they extraxted a rent that was approximately the 10% of wheat price, by artificially reducing farmgate prices.
