AbstractMain objective of this paper is to evaluate supportive policies of beef producers during the first, second, third and fourth terms of Economic, Social, and Cultural Development Plans (1989 - 2008).To evaluate the policies, the Producers Support Estimate(PSE) index and other indicators (PSE %, NPC & NAC) were used. Furthermore, percentages of PSE were calculated in different scenarios of exchange rate (such as black market exchange rate, purchase power parity (PPP) exchange rate, 5 percent increase in purchase power parity (PPP) exchange rate and 5 percent decrease in purchase power parity (PPP) exchange rate). The results presented that market price support (MPS) of beef producers had increasing trend during development plans, especially in the first and the second plans. The government’s budgetary payments (BP), on the other hand, presented decreasing trend from 4 billion Rls (local current) in the first development plan to 2 billion Rls in the forth development plan. Furthermore, total support estimate (PSE) of beef producers increased during the fourth terms of development plans. It is concluded that share of MPS in total producers support estimate (PSE) is more than BP. The study results presented that, in all terms of the development plan (except for the first plan), percentages of PSE calculated by purchase power parity (PPP) exchange rate were higher than amounts calculated by black market exchange rate. PSE% was found sensitive to changes in the exchange rate.

AbstractMain objective of this paper is to investigate the impact of exchange rate misalignment on wheat’s producer estimates (PSE), using the 1989-2007 period’s data. For this purpose, Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) along with the use of real exchange rate based on purchasing power party (PPP) was applied to estimate nominal equilibrium exchange rates. Then, by using market price support percentage (MPS%) and producer support estimate percentage (PSE%) measures, impact of exchange rates misalignment on wheat’s support measures were evaluated. The result of the paper show that specific sector policies had positive impact while, exchange rates polices counteracted specific sector polices. Meanwhile with approaching the exchange rates toward its counterpart of the equilibrium exchange rates, specific – sector polices had a significant effect on MPS% and PSE% of wheat.

AbstractMain objective of this paper is the investigation the effect of support policies of government on income risk of poultry producers in Iran for the 1989-2006. CCV index was used to investigate amount of variation that cause each support policies (market price support, support of agricultural inputs, outputs insurance) on income risk variation of producers. The results of this study showed that percentage of index risk variation is decreased because of market price support, insurance, energy subsidy and total support policies. In addition, results showed just the effect of price supports and insurance subsidy on income risk is significant.JEL Classification: Q16, Q17, Q18
