Research Abstract

Based on the conjecture that changes in Japanese agricultural and trade polices will affect the behaviours of both Japanese and Australian wheat producers, this research estimated with a bioeconomic model the probability distributions for the quantity and quality of the crop produced in the two countries under various policy settings.
