“…Following Muth (1964), Alston et al (1995) and Sumner et al (1999) I develop a multimarket simulation model to understand the implications of an expansion in the number of guest workers available to U.S. crop agriculture. The model includes supply and demand functions for two crop markets, horticultural crops (denoted with subscript h) and grain crops (denoted with subscript g).…”

“…Overall, it is expected that the elasticity of supply of the inputsnotably for labor and land-is relatively inelastic in response to a policy change that would increase the number of guest workers. The supply elasticity for labor is set equal to 0.2 (Espey and Thilmany, 2000), for land it is set equal to 0.2, and for other inputs it is set equal to 1.0 (Sumner et al, 1999). The Allen input substitution elasticities are initially set equal to zero, but the sensitivity of results to this parameter is also explored with additional simulations.…”

a b s t r a c tGuest workers have provided a source of agricultural labor supply in many countries. Recent legislative proposals on immigration reform in the United States have renewed discussions about the role of guest worker programs, and highlighted the arguments for and against such programs. Even within the agricultural sector, there has not been strong broad-based support for an expansion in the number of guest workers. A model is developed that considers competing interests between commodity groups (horticulture crops and grain crops) to explain this lack of support, and then a series of simulations are conducted to highlight the possible economic effects of an expanded guest worker program. Results suggest that an increase in the labor supply would have much larger economic impacts for horticultural producers and firms in the supporting input markets. Furthermore, under some conditions, simulation outcomes show how an increase in the labor supply may lead to small revenue losses for both producers and input suppliers in grain markets.

Use of seasonal climate forecasts is a rapidly evolving area. Effective research and application of climate forecasts require close cooperation between scientists in diverse disciplines and decision makers. Successful collaboration requires all players to at least partially understand each other's perspectives. Issues associated with seasonal forecasts, through a selected review of both physical and social sciences literature, is presented. Our hope is that the review will improve research in this area by stimulating further collaborations.
