Abstract:Fuel and fertilizers are major energy-related inputs used in the production of food in Saskatchewan. Impacts of rising prices of energy-related inputs on Saskatchewan agriculture are estimated with the help of a quadratic programming model of the agriculture sector, using a comparative statics approach. The model predicts that increased energy prices would cause decreases in the level of production, product demand, energy use, consumer surplus, and net returns over energy-related inputs. An increase in product… Show more
