Book Description
This study examines the existence of the hold-up problem in the broiler industry. Under production contracts, broiler growers may be subject to market failures, and thus, may be held up by opportunistic broiler processors. We found no evidence that processors discriminate among growers by distributing inputs of varying quality in the sequences of repeated short-term contracts. We also found that market power does not affect the decision in the grower's relationship-specific investment which indicates that there is no manifestation of the hold-up problem from growers who rationally anticipate it. Hence, market failures are not significant. Furthermore, by using the interest group theory of regulation, we confirm that the broiler industry operates efficiently. Further regulation to protect growers is not needed in the broiler industry.

Hedging Vs Contracting: Managing Risk in the Broiler Industry

Book Description
The three essays in this study evaluate alternative risk management strategies in the broiler industry - contract production and broiler futures. Contract production is the dominant form of risk management in today's broiler industry. Over the last decade, contract payment mechanisms were changed to include part of the market price of broilers. While this increased the risk borne by broiler growers, we found that their welfare also increased. Broiler futures have been intermittently offered during the past four decades. We investigate the reasons behind their failure. We find that broiler futures failed because they were an ineffective hedging tool. Using actual production data, we find that hedging with broiler futures would not have significantly reduced risk.
