Value-added management at the cow-calf level is integrated across breeding, health and nutrition programs. Hedonic pricing models are necessary to navigate through the layered management standards imposed by certified health and marketing programs on the cow-calf sector. Previous research in feeder calf pricing models provides insight on the use and development of ordinary least squares in estimating price effects. Breed, vaccination program, age-and-source verification and natural-beef production have become more relevant as vertical coordination has influenced commercial cow-calf producers. This study provides the industry with new information pertaining to the revenue opportunities that exist for cow-calf producers through increased coordination in the beef industry. Video and satellite auction markets are recognized as a national pricing mechanism for feeder cattle in the United States. These markets represent the management and marketing practices of national cow-calf producers and the tastes and preferences of a national stocker and feedlot industry. Previous research in feeder cattle pricing models is applied to the current genetic, management, marketing and market structure information from video auction markets to discover relevant price effects pertaining to value-added calf production. More intensive value-added management practices were expected to enhance the revenue of cow-calf producers selling their calves through video auction markets. This research confirms that verified health and genetic claims produce higher calf prices compared to commodity calves. Weaned calves with at least two rounds of respiratory vaccinations generated an additional $5.50 to $7.50 per cwt., and weaning created $2.75 to $4.50 per cwt. in premiums over non-certified health programs. There were statistical differences among the premiums for each aggregated breed influence, and Angus and black and black-white faced cattle offered the highest breed premiums at $5.25 to $7.50 per cwt. compared to Brahman-influenced calves. Age-and-source verification presents the best opportunity for video auction market premiums among recently developed marketing programs. Statistically significant premiums ranged from $1.25 to $2.00 per cwt. for both steers and heifers over the last five years.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Because of the high-speed development of e-commerce, online group buying has become a new popular pattern of consumption for Chinese consumers. Previous research has studied online group-buying (OGB) purchase intention in some specific areas such as Taiwan, but in mainland China. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to contribute to the Technology Acceptance Model, incorporating other potential driving factors to address how they influence Chinese consumers' online group-buying purchase intentions. Method: The study uses two steps to achieve its purpose. The first step is that I use the focus group interview technique to collect primary data. The results combining the Technology Acceptance model help me propose hypotheses. The second step is that the questionnaire method is applied for empirical data collection. The constructs are validated with exploratory factor analysis and reliability analysis, and then the model is tested with Linear multiple regression. Findings: The results have shown that the adapted research model has been successfully tested in this study. The seven factors (perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, price, e-trust, Word of Mouth, website quality and perceived risk) have significant effects on Chinese consumers' online group-buying purchase intentions. This study suggests that managers of group-buying websites need to design easy-to-use platform for users. Moreover, group-buying website companies need to propose some rules or regulations to protect consumers' rights. When conflicts occur, e-vendors can follow these rules to provide solutions that are reasonable and satisfying for consumers.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis deals with understanding drivers influencing the end price of fuel in the Czech Republic and ramifications for relevant companies. Its aim is to provide a comprehensive understanding of all relevant elements have been influencing end prices of gasoline and diesel during last 8 years, understand their leverage and uncover which of those were the most important for this development. These are then researched using mainly graphical analysis and basic statistical tools. The delivery is that both prices of gasoline and diesel are highly correlated with the price development of crude oil and the prices of their respective commoditized barges expressed in the nominal value of CZK. It was also discovered that there are visible tendencies for asymmetrical pricing reaction and reaction lags, which could serve as a basis for a follow-up work. Based on these findings several conclusive recommendations for relevant companies were built and delivered.

The study aims to determine the contribution made by available ram growth- and breed standard parameters on the sale price of auctioned rams in Namibia. These findings serve as an indication of the importance ram buyers place on individual parameters in selecting rams for breeding purposes. It furthermore tries to establish whether scientific measurement for the estimation of ram breeding values takes precedence over subjective appraisal. The analysis of the 100 day and 270 day growth performance of the progeny of selected Veldram tested rams were used to evaluate the accuracy of the estimation of ram breeding values and may serve to validate the proper execution of these Veldram tests.

Full textAbstract:
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 84-90).Understanding the pricing behaviour of medical providers in private clinics is important for the effective regulation of the private sector and ensuring that there is no extortion of patients. There is a global trend to encourage delivery of health services by the private sector reducing the public role to stewardship. Understanding the factors that influence the price of medical services in an out of pocket setting is important in designing strategies necessary to control the price of medical care. The study investigated the factors that influenced the price of medical services in Kampala district, Uganda. The respondents reported cost of drugs given to patients (type and dose of drug), other overhead expenditures, type of disease, income status of the patient and need to make profit as factors which influence the price of medical services. On regression analysis, it was found that rent was a significant factor on the price of medical services across all disease conditions. It was concluded that governments need to put in place effective regulatory mechanisms to ensure proper functioning of the private health sector.

Full textAbstract:
Telecommunication has evolved tremendously from its origin to the present. Competition has grown in the telecommunications industry. One of the idiosyncratic characteristics of the mobile telecom services industry is the offering of homogenous products/services to the whole market, which indicates services being undifferentiated. The purpose of this paper is to study the differentiation strategies of mobile telecom operators and the impact of factors influencing the process of differentiation. The study will concentrate on the differentiation strategies of the mobile telecom service firms operating in Pakistan. The analysis model of this research was developed based on the determinants of product differentiation, relating to the tools that managers at mobile telecom service companies employ to execute differentiation strategies, and the factors influencing them. The empirical part of this study was conducted in January 2017. The multiple case study approach was adopted as a study method, and four case studies of the mobile telecom service companies operating in Pakistan were compared through cross-case analysis. Qualitative methods of data collection were employed and through semi-structured interviews primary data was gathered and secondary data was extracted from the websites and annual reports. The findings from the four case studies revealed that all the mobile operators opt for the differentiation strategies based on the determinants. It was examined from this research that these determinants are interrelated with each other. It was evident from the study of all the case companies that regulations affect the industry profits, increase the cost of upgrading the networks and infrastructures, causing a delay in the adoption of innovation, thereby influencing the differentiation strategy. The second factor influencing the differentiation process revealed in this study was competitive imitation, which caused convergence of strategies resulting in undifferentiated services even though operators tried to differentiate their services. The competitive imitation becomes easier due to the oligopoly structure of the mobile telecom industry.

The dissertation is focused on current issues in the connection with the rental price of land and construction land maps, which are addressed to practice. It deals with an overview of the development of rental and price charts in the Czech Republic and abroad. The basic precondition of the dissertation is the existence of data dealing with the relationship between rents and the usual (market, global) price of land in the price map in the Czech Republic. This area, the relationship of rents and land prices, has not yet been fully explored. The unavailability of this data can result in questioning the expert opinions for example in court proceedings. The conclusions of the dissertation illustrate, how interdependent ground rent with the price specified in price map constructions of land. The percentage of the relation I have determined to both individual cities (Prague, Brno, Olomouc), and all the Czech Republic as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
Gradual construction in individual parts of the city has its own characteristics. Each period brings different general requirements for construction based on the lifestyle and needs of the population at certain time. This difference in construction, whether the real estate itself, or the overall layout of buildings in the landscape, including different architectural elements, affects the determination of their value. However it is often not possible to provide a sufficiently large database of comparable objects in medium-sized municipalities when applying the comparison method. Analysing of individual types of construction and, in particular, quantifying their impact on the usual cost is a new contribution and a view of building assessment. The dissertation thesis deals with the analysis of the problematic locality, the mapping of the individual construction stages, including defining individual characteristics of buildings and their surroundings. The construction influence was quantified based on the created database of realized housing units and selected methods. The realised facts in this dissertation thesis can be used as a basis for experts and valuers in the securing of database elements but also as a basic information for state administration authorities and for the public when buying and selling commodities, choosing a place for housing or information about their age.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2008.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Internationally, a number of studies on property cycles have been undertaken. In contrast very little academic research has been undertaken in South Africa. The importance of the subject is once again become evident given the recent global turbulence in both property and credit markets. The central hypothesis of this study is that there exists a residential property cycle in South Africa and that it can be identified and that furthermore there are indicators that can identify the various stages that the property market finds itself in and that these indicators can be used to forecast the property cycle. A number of potential drivers of the property cycle were identified and analysed. These drivers collectively propel the property cycle through its various cycle stages. Not one of the drivers in isolation has the ability to move the cycle; it is rather the correct combination of drivers at the right time that have the necessary impact to make the changes in property price levels. The study has identified the historical residential property cycle in South Africa and identified the primary drivers of the property cycle. It was found that Interest Rates, GOP, Population, Household Debt to Disposable Income ratio, Quantity of Building Plans Approved and Building Cost Escalation are all material drivers in defining the property cycle. A statistical analysis in the form of multiple regression was applied to the above variables and a statistical model was developed to forecast the property cycle. It was found that the model has significant explanatory powers when the goodness of fit was tested.

Full textAbstract:
Physicians often continue to prescribe brand-name drugs to their patients even when less expensive generic equivalents are available. In a 1994 study, Judith Hellerstein advances two hypotheses to explain this behavior. First, doctors may consciously conclude that certain brand-name drugs impart a relative therapeutic benefit that outweighs their higher cost. Second, physicians may choose to prescribe brand-name drugs without evidence of therapeutic superiority if neither they nor their insured patients bear the increased cost of these drugs. The second hypothesis implies that moral hazard is evident in physicians' prescribing behavior. Hellerstein's findings support neither hypothesis, but her estimation equation does not explicitly capture the effects of brand-name/generic price differentials and information diffusion on the probability of generic prescription. The author adapts Hellerstein's theoretical model to a modified estimation equation that incorporates these effects and uses it to create new estimates based on data on antimicrobial prescriptions from the 1994 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS).
Unexpectedly, the results appear to affirm both hypotheses. The evidence for moral hazard is particularly strong, as self-paying patients are significantly more likely than patients with Medicare or private insurance to be prescribed the generics that are cheapest relative to their brand-name counterparts. The author also finds that certain popular antimicrobial drugs such as amoxicillin and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim are prescribed in the same form (generic or brand-name) by most doctors to most patients. The market power exhibited by these preferred forms leads the author to conclude that they are "brands" in the economic sense.Master of Arts

This dissertation is focused on the identification and evaluation of specific factors affecting the price of agricultural land. It should be mentioned that the market for agricultural land, especially arable land and permanent grasslands, is not fully developed in the Czech Republic and this area is not fully explored. The thesis describes the factors on the basis of which the investor decides when buying these plots. The data needed for this work have been obtained from professional literature, real estate servers, two polls, actual sales, etc. In the conclusion of this thesis all findings are summarized and evaluated. It includes the development of prices in the years 2014 – 2016 based on sales actually realized in the Olomouc Region, Moravian – Silesian Region, South Moravian Region and Vysočina Region. The outcome of the thesis is a proposal of an expert standard. It is necessary to realize that, above all, agricultural land is a specific commodity, as it is unreproducible, indivisible and its offer is limited.

Twenty five percent of the adult population in Zimbabwe is HIV positive and it is estimated that at least 2000 people die every week of the disease. Consequently, there is an urgent need to find means and ways of reducing the number of premature deaths due to AIDS. Access to affordable drugs will have great impact on reducing these premature deaths in the country. However high AIDS and opportunistic infections drug prices have rendered these medicines unaffordable and inaccessible to the vast majority of the population infected with the virus. Moreover the majority of the population has to meet most of its drug cost through out of pocket payments.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: To evaluate changes in shopping behaviors among low-income families over a one-month period of time in Utah County, Utah.
Design: Two researchers conducted thirteen 90-minute focus groups.
Setting: Two community organizations serving low-income populations and a university campus.
Participants: Seventy-two low-income adults who were the primary household food shoppers and who had at least one child less than 18 years in their household.
Main Outcome Measures: Shopping behavior changes during one month period of time.
Analysis: Focus groups were recorded and transcribed, and then coded independently by two researchers with any differences reconciled. Paired t-tests were used to test differences of food expenditures by food group between the beginning and end-of-the-month shopping behaviors.
Results: Shopping habits among low-income families changed throughout the month and were impacted by use of food assistance programs, food prices, and shopping logistics. Participants reported purchasing more varied foods at the beginning of the month versus more starch-based and canned foods at the end-of-the-month. To overcome economic barriers, participants used numerous strategies including weekly or monthly menu planning, price matching, and bulk buying.
Conclusions and Implications: Low-income families make strategic decisions based on economic circumstances and other factors, including participation in food assistance programs, or the timing of the month, in order to stretch food expenditures. Our results suggest limited economics throughout the month may hinder families' ability to consume a varied, nutrient-rich diet, which may impact future health status.

Full textAbstract:
Contexte : La chronicité de la maladie est difficile, autant pour le soigné que pour le soignant. Malgré de nombreux travaux et recherches (réalisés principalement chez le soigné), la douleur chronique reste un fléau. Il est suggéré qu’une approche centrée sur la personne soit la meilleure pour aider ces patients. Il serait donc possible que la façon dont le médecin adapte sa clinique face au patient ait une influence. En regard de la douleur chronique, sa prise en charge difficile peut mener le soignant à ressentir de l’impuissance. Quelles stratégies utilise le soignant lorsque la pharmacopée est insuffisante ? S’il est répandu que les engagements spirituels des patients permettent d’attribuer un sens aux expériences de la douleur, peu de choses sont connues du côté des médecins. But : La présente étude explore les facteurs influençant la prise en charge par les médecins du patient douloureux chronique afin de comprendre comment leurs caractéristiques identitaires, spirituelles et relationnelles orientent leur approche de soins. Méthodes : Un dispositif de théorisation ancrée en recherche qualitative a été retenu. Le cadre conceptuel élaboré repose sur deux concepts clés : celui de l’identité narrative selon Ricœur et celui du temps selon Tillich. Les participants furent recrutés selon un échantillonnage de convenance. Des entrevues individuelles semi-structurées ont été conduites auprès de sept médecins de diverses spécialités, confrontés aux difficultés de prise en charge en contexte de douleur chronique. La moitié des participants ont été interviewés une seconde fois afin d’approfondir le thème de l’identité, et ce, jusqu’à saturation des données. Les transcriptions sont analysées selon la méthode de codification Strauss et Corbin. Résultats : Si le facteur temps était théoriquement connu de par la littérature sur la maladie douloureuse chronique, la collecte et l’analyse des données en a favorisé son émergence en tant que concept, révélant ainsi son importance implicite cruciale au sein de la relation thérapeutique. Notre approche, cadre à la fois théologique et inspirée de l’anthropologie philosophique, a permis d’identifier la reconnaissance en tant que processus émergent des données pour expliquer le cheminement de l’identité du médecin – professionnelle et personnelle – en contexte clinique de douleur chronique. Bien que non recherchée de façon explicite, la reconnaissance par le médecin (et indirectement par le douloureux chronique) apparaît comme source de motivation et d’énergie insoupçonnée afin d’entretenir une relation de qualité. La particularité du mot reconnaissance de se décliner en différents termes polysémiques a permis d’élaborer le processus de la re-connaissance vers la re-co-naissance mutuelle qui est ici proposé comme cadre explicatif de l’évolution de l’identité du médecin en contexte clinique relationnel de prise en charge du douloureux chronique. Le médecin doit ainsi se définir à nouveau en tant que thérapeute en vue de ne pas vivre l’échec. Conclusion : La compétence relationnelle acquise, ajoutée à sa compétence professionnelle, permet au médecin d’enrichir ses connaissances (savoir et expérience), mais aussi de cheminer, au fil du temps, avec son patient douloureux chronique, passant d’une re-connaissance (identitaire et spirituelle) à une re-co-Naissance mutuelle et dynamique dans la relation en contexte de douleur chronique. Les différentes perspectives pour les cliniciens et soignants s’occupant de ces patients sont discutées.Abstract : Background: Chronic pain is difficult, both for the patient and the caregiver. Even though many studies and researches have been conducted (mostly with patients), chronic pain remains. It is suggested that a person-centered approach is the best way to help these patients. However, little is known about how physicians adapt their practice to their powerlessness when faced with chronic pain patient. Which strategies are to be used when the pharmacopoeia is insufficient? Though it is known that religious and spiritual commitments may allow patients to give meaning to their pain, little is known about how physicians deal with these commitments. Purpose: This study explores the factors influencing how physicians take charge of chronic pain patients to understand how their identity, their spirituality and their relationship shape their care approach. Methods: Within a qualitative research design in grounded theory, the conceptual framework developed is based on the two key concepts: the narrative identity by Ricœur and the concept of time by Tillich. Participants were recruited using a convenience sampling. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with seven physicians in various specialties dealing with the difficulties of chronic pain management. Four of them were interviewed a second time to further investigate the subjet, until data saturation. The transcripts were analyzed by Strauss and Corbin’s method of codification. Results: If the time factor was theoretically known from the literature on chronic pain, continuous and simultaneous data collecting and analyzing has brought its emergence as concept (axial coding), revealing thereby its implicit crucial importance within the therapeutic relationship. Our approach, inspired from both theological and philosophical anthropology‘s frames, have allowed us to identify “recognition” as an emerging process to explain the flow scheme of the physician’s professional and personal identity when faced with chronic pain. Although not researched explicitly, mutual recognition between patient and physician is a source of motivation to improve the quality of the relationship. The process of recognition to mutual re-co-birth (“re-co-naissance” in French) is proposed here as an explanatory framework for the development of the physician’s identity in the clinical context of chronic pain patient care. The French word “reconnaissance” (recognition) thus can be broken down into “re-co-naissance” (re-co-birth), the co-rebirth of a relationship to define oneself anew as a therapist and to not experience failure. Conclusions: The new acquired confidence and competence between physician and the patient, in addition to actual professional skills, enables the concerned physician not only to enrich his knowledge but also to make progress in time, along with his chronic pain patients, moving from professional identity to spiritual recognition and to a dynamic relationship of mutal re-birth and re-acknowledge (“re-co-naissance”), so that he no longer experiences medical failure. Various perspectives for clinicians and caregivers will be further discussed.

The incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains high and the condition is manifesting in infants born at earlier gestational weeks than before. This so-called new BPD results from the arrest of alveolar development and is associated with less structural airway injury and interstitial fibrosis than previously. Long-term follow-up data on lung function, lung structure and respiratory morbidity of children treated with modern methods is insufficiently known. We performed a follow-up study of 88 preterm-born children and 88 matched term-born controls at school age. Children born preterm had lower values in lung function measurements than term-born peers. Reductions were most marked in those with a history of BPD. In accordance with the foetal origins hypothesis, children with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) had lower lung function than gestation-controls. This indicates that poor growth in utero is an additional burden on pulmonary health. Both IUGR and BPD predicted lower lung function independently. High-resolution computed tomography of the lung was obtained from 21 children with a history of BPD. Structural abnormalities were common, children with severe BPD being most affected. Preterm children were hospitalised more often than controls, mainly because of wheezing disorders. However, BPD did not influence the hospitalisations. According to the meta-analysis of the contemporary data available, the respiratory outcome of children who had only mild BPD may have improved in comparison to old follow-up data, whereas the results for those without BPD or moderate-to-severe BPD have remained remarkably stable despite progress in treatment practices during early life. In conclusion, preterm children had subtle impairments in lung function at school age. Although they were fairly asymptomatic, concern about the possible long-term effects of preterm birth on pulmonary health is justified. It has been proposed that BPD may predispose individuals to an early COPD-like disorder. Preterm children must be protected from any additional burden on respiratory health and should be monitored appropriately for early detection of lung diseaseTiivistelmä Keskosten tehohoito on kehittynyt viime vuosikymmeninä merkittävästi, ja yhä epäkypsempänä syntyvät keskoset selviävät hengissä syntymän jälkeen. Keskosten pitkäaikainen keuhkosairaus, bronkopulmonaalinen dysplasia (BPD), on perinteisesti johtunut hengityskonehoidon ja happikaasun aiheuttamasta keuhkovauriosta ja johtanut keuhkokudoksen arpeutumiseen. Aiempaa ennenaikaisemmilla keskosilla esiintyy kuitenkin nykyään niin sanottua uutta BPD:tä, jonka ajatellaan johtuvan enemmän keuhkorakkuloiden kehityshäiriöstä kuin hoitojen aiheuttamasta keuhkovauriosta. Selvitimme, miten nykyaikaisilla menetelmillä hoidettujen keskosten keuhkojen rakenne ja toiminta kehittyvät kouluikään mennessä. Seurantatutkimukseemme osallistui 88 ennenaikaisena syntynyttä, kouluikään ehtinyttä lasta ja 88 täysiaikaisena syntynyttä, kaltaistettua verrokkia. Keskosena syntyneiden lasten keuhkofunktio oli kouluiässä huonompi kuin täysiaikaisena syntyneiden verrokkien. Alhaisin keuhkofunktio oli niillä keskosena syntyneillä lapsilla, jotka olivat sairastaneet vastasyntyneenä BPD:n. Myös kohdunsisäiseen kasvuhäiriöön (intrauterine growth restriction, IUGR) liittyi alentunut keuhkofunktio. BPD ja IUGR ennustivat alentunutta keuhkofunktiota toisistaan riippumatta. Tutkimuksessa tehtiin myös keuhkojen ohutleiketietokonekuvaus 21 keskoselle, jotka olivat sairastaneet BPD:n. Lähes kaikilla havaittiin poikkeavia löydöksiä – eniten niillä, joilla oli ollut vastasyntyneenä BPD:n vaikea tautimuoto. Keskosina syntyneet joutuivat kahden ensimmäisen vuoden aikana verrokkeja useammin sairaalahoitoon. Yleisimpiä syitä olivat hengityksen vinkumista aiheuttavat taudit kuten ilmatiehyttulehdus, ahtauttava keuhkoputkitulehdus tai akuutti astmakohtaus. Vastasyntyneenä sairastettu BPD ei kuitenkaan lisännyt todennäköisyyttä joutua sairaalahoitoon. Tutkimuksessa tehtiin myös meta-analyysi nykyaikaisilla menetelmillä hoidettujen keskosten keuhkofunktiosta: lievää BPD:tä sairastavien tulokset näyttävät parantuneen, kun taas keskivaikeaa tai vaikeaa tautimuotoa sairastavien ja ilman BPD:tä selvinneiden keuhkofunktio ei ole muuttunut uusien hoitojen myötä. Yhteenvetona voidaan todeta, että keskosten keuhkojen toimintakyky on jonkin verran alentunut täysiaikaisiin verrattuna. Lievästi alentunut keuhkofunktio ei kuitenkaan yleensä aiheuttanut koululaisille oireita. Keskosena syntyneiden lasten hengityselinten toimintaa on syytä seurata, sillä niin sanotun uuden BPD:n pitkäaikaisesta ennusteesta ei ole vielä tietoa

Gold regarded as wealth all the time. The international situation has not relaxed in recent years and U.S. dollar is being weakly, cause the price of gold more and more expensive. The top three of the gold fabrication demand were India, U.S.A., China in the past few years, but the demand of China exceeded the demand of U.S.A. since 2007. China becomes the second largest in the demand of gold fabrication that is second only to India. So this research hopes to re-analyze that what is the influence degree of the gold price by U.S.A.'s economic data in recent years, and then join the economic data of China and Indian to analyze what the influence degree of the price of gold is. The result expects that can offer more information for the gold users and investors to judge the trend of the price of gold. This research is probing into the influence factor of the price of gold mainly. Describing the supply, demand, trade place and merchandize of the gold at first, and then observe the trend of the price of gold and its influence factors including the price of petroleum and economic data of U.S.A., China and India. The research methods are to utilize statistical analysis, ADF test, Pearson Correlation Coefficients test and multi-regression to analyze the relations of every parameter on the price of gold. This result finds that the key factors influencing the price of gold are the price of petroleum, Chinese industrial index and U.S. dollar value. The state of the inflation does not influence the price of gold like expectancy, and because of special situation of India may result in choosing data of the research unable to represent economic situation of this country.

Nowadays when general publics plan to buy their own houses， due to the lack of experiences and knowledge， even incorrect or inefficiency message sources， they can just get very limited information about the qualities of houses， the unit price of each square foot， total price of square feet， and the so called reasonable bargain prices from constructors or agents. However， most consumers do have the right to totally dominate such commercial activities. Since they pay more attention on listening，choosing， and doing the comparisons among all the candidates of targets， they really can be more aggressive in the negotiation process. This research stands in the consumers’ point of view and provides them more reasonable prices about the target buildings. With these reasonable prices， general publics can take more advantages in the bargaining process with constructors or agents.

In this study, we use the Feature Selection Method for Data Mining to analyze the key factors that may affect the rate of the stock price successfully remaining previous price after dividend payment among stocks of 50 largest companies and 100 medium-sized companies in Taiwan. Based on these key factors, we construct a forecasting model for stocks with the 100% flat stock price. Finally, We try to find out the similarities and differences between the current study and past research. In this study, the construction of a forecasting model for stocks with the 100% flat stock price is divided into five stages: (1) Defining stocks with the 100% flat stock price: Marking stocks with the 100% flat stock price and the non-100% flat stock price on historical stock data and dividend information captured by the TEJ database; (2) Relevant Factors Affecting increase in the stock price after dividend payment: According to the factors found in the past literature that may affect excess returns from short-term increase in the stock price after dividend payment and the fundamental factors affecting the stock price, we are able to collect indexes related to dividends and public financial statements for basic analysis. (3) Feature Selection Analysis: By using the Sequential Forward Selection (SFS) method and the classification algorithm, all influencing factors are integrated and calculated to find out the key influencing factors; (4) The Establishment of the Prediction Model: According to the results of feature selection, we use the Weka software to conduct data mining and train the classification model based on support vector machines and decision trees. (5) Comparison and Analysis on Accuracy of the Model: The model constructed in this study can help stock-holding investors determine stocks with high dividends without loss of the stock price and provide reference for investors in stock selection.

With the rapidly growing of internet in recent years, the consumption habitual behavior of consumer is to change gradually. Therefore, the electronic commerce also has recently become an emerging commercial activities and trade types. MIC (Market Intelligence Center, 2005) shows “cheapness” is the most important factor for consumers in online shopping environment, and they are willing to utilize online shopping trading from 2001 to 2005. The main motivation of affected consumers chooses to online shopping is “price” for the cheapness factor. Several empirical studies show that consumers are willing to accept a moderate price increasing without switching to another brand. It means the cognition of price for consumer could be influenced by other factors. In the context of pricing strategies, the notion of price tolerance has gained increasing attention from academic researchers and managers. Although price tolerance has attracted to some attentions in the marketing field, but it has been less empirical fieldwork about price tolerance and its’ influencing factors. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between influencing factors and price tolerance through the comprehensive conceptual model for internet customers. Data collection was gathered for the online shopping customers of B2C web sites in Taiwan. The research used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to analyze the effects of E-Service Quality, Perceived Value, Customer Satisfaction, Trust, and Commitment on Price Tolerance. The empirical results shows: (1) e-service quality dimension of privacy, response, compensation and contact significantly positive effects perceived value; (2) perceived value significantly positive effects customer satisfaction; (3) perceived value significantly positive effects trust; (4) perceived value significantly positive effects commitment; (5) customer satisfaction significantly positive effects trust; (6) customer satisfaction significantly positive effects commitment; (7) customer satisfaction significantly positive effects price tolerance; (8) trust significantly positive effects commitment; (9) commitment significantly positive effects price tolerance. In the study, perceived value is the most important effects factor of price tolerance, and the second important factor is customer satisfaction.

Stocks are the most common investing tool adopted by investors in Taiwan. According to the statistics of securities market published by Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (TWSE), even in the bear market of Dec 2014 the volume turnover rate traded in TWSE was 6.33 which was much more than Hong Kong and Singapore. Investors in Taiwan tend to adopt a short term investment strategy. How to discover factors influencing stock price and further create a model to predict stock prices is the big concern of investors. The study collected data from listed companies of energies related industry in TWSE from January 2014 to September 2015 which accounts to 63 companies and total number of data is 1,323. First of all, the classification and regression tree (CART) method was adopted to filter the most effective factors related to stock prices. After using a combination of factors to identify the impact of stock price, Fuzzy C-means clustering was need to cluster training data based on feature values. Then we used support vector machine to build different prediction models. The testing data (30%) was calculated to determine the cluster it belongs to. Then the corresponding prediction SVM model was applied to predict the results. Compared the results from support vector machine prediction with actual output, our model shows that to 283 of 397 test record transactions are accurately predicted. The prediction accuracy rate of this study is 71.28%, the average monthly return rate is 1.77 %, and annual rate of return is 21.24% based on the results of simulated investment.

There are many studies point the factors influencing the house price. In reality we can find that no matter the factors are, the house price still increase. By the other studies I find that the old age society and the rate of using house may influence the house price. I’m going to exploring every factor whether it is economic or not, and try to find the best one to explain the increase of house price. I use time series to find every possible factor include economic and non-economic. In order to avoid interrelated factors and fit in the hypothesis of classical regression, I have to do unit root test to confirm the time series is stationary state. To avoid violating the assumption of classical regression and reduces the possibility of wrong conclusion, I have to do Chow test, linear test, nested test, heteroskedasticity test and autocorrelation test. In final, I have a final regression. After that I find no other economic factors obviously affect the price, but the greatest impact is the residential usage. I refer that constructors bid up the house price and make the market price increase even there is few buyer. And after the market price is so high, the owner of house who wants to sell his/her house is not willing to sell his/her house below the market price. And more the house wouldn’t be depreciated when not to sell, so the owner will wait until the one who is willing to buy with such a high price. So government has to avoid it and let the price goes to what it should be.

According to 2002 EPA statistics, my country annual consumption of about 105,000 tons type plastic bag use, including shopping plastic bags of about 6.5 million tons, estimated at about nearly twenty billion. Therefore, EPA has given the excessive use of plastic bags, so carried out shopping with plastic bags, restrict the use of policy rules shall not provide free plastic bags, people shopping as a need to have to pay for plastic bags. So, try to limit the use of strategies to change the popular rejection of type of consumption patterns, inhibit shopping use plastic bags quantity growth has its necessity. The main purpose of this study to investigate the impact on consumer factors influencing the price acceptance of shopping bags, a comparison between Taiwan and China consumers for hypermarket that offers shopping bag price acceptance influencing factors whether there are differences. In this study, structural equation modeling, through online questionnaire and the paper questionnaire to collect data, there are 951 copies of valid questionnaires. The study found that: (1) shopping bag price fairness, convenience, corporate environmental image to consumers buy satisfaction has significant positive correlation; (2) Satisfaction to loyalty and price acceptance have a significant positive correlation; (3) Loyalty to price acceptance has a significant positive correlation; (4) Taiwan's consumer price acceptance will be affected by satisfaction and loyalty effect, but China's consumer price acceptance only by the positive impact of satisfaction rather than loyalty.

Farmland is an important factor in the agricultural production process, and its price on the market directly relates to whether the farmers can afford in order to produce or not. Besides, it influences overall agricultural management and development outlook. Therefore, whether the price of farmland reasonably reflects the agricultural output is a topic worth discussing. This study uses various types of databases to analyze farmland prices and farmland values comprehensively. The approach is based on the "ratio of the two divisions" for analyzing the price-value distortion level of farmland transactions.By setting two study areas - Yilan County(which is affected by the impact of urbanization) and Yunlin County(which is traditional agricultural area), the sources of the data including the real estate transactions information to get farmland transactions and farmland market prices, agriculture and forestry fishery census data to estimate the village-base agricultural production value. Subsequently, use the range of crop adaptability, irrigation and drainage conditions, crop prices change rate, land use zoning types, distance to urban planning area, width of the nearest road, land blocks and the current mortgage index of the transaction as independent variables, with the application of geographic information system as references, then analyze the price-value distortion level of Yilan County and Yunlin County via quantile regression method. The empirical result shows that the distribution of the price-value distortion level of farmlands in the two areas is more distorted near the metropolitan area. Land use control, road width, distance to the nearest ditch and other location conditions for both regions were significant. However, Yilan County is closer to the Great Taipei Metropolitan area, in addition to the degree of distortion is generally higher than Yunlin County, the fertility of the soil and the crop prices change rate also have more significant impacts. In contrast, because Yunlin County is a traditional agricultural production area, the crop prices change rate has no obvious effect; the more fertile of the soil, the more able to balance the degree of distortion, which shows that two areas have some similar and different aspects.

Pricing plays a very important role in the marketing planning of all businesses including leisure and recreation industries. In Taiwan, the study of pricing on the entrance fee for the public recreation areas is very rare, and so as for the private recreation areas. First of all, this study has confirmed that the market structure of the private recreation areas to figure out the aspect of influencing factors on the entrance fee. Secondly, based on the study of marketing, the influencing factors on entrance fee were selected by the experts and the scholars. Finally, an econometric model was constructed and was tested by using the data of statistics from 1996 to 2001 to verify and improve the former established model. According to the study results, some findings were reached in this study. First, the industry of private recreation areas in Taiwan belongs to monopolistic competition market style. Secondly, the Adjusted value（Adjusted Coefficient of Multiple Determination）of the entrance fee pricing model was almost up to 60%. Thirdly, by using the simple regression to examine the individual influencing factor on the entrance fee, the significant ones for the recreation areas with mostly mechanical facilities could include territory area, numbers of employees, facility items, real GNP, conference service, accommodation service, and the market share. As for the non-mechanical recreation areas, the influencing factors could include numbers of employees, facility items, conference service, and the market share. In addition, a multiple regression method was used to build up the entrance fee pricing model for both mechanical and non-mechanical recreation areas. The significant influencing factors for the mechanical ones included numbers of employees, conference service, and real GNP. And for the pricing model of non-mechanical recreation areas, the significant influencing factors included numbers of employees, conference service, and accommodation service. According to the conclusions, this study also provided some suggestions for the references of pricing on the entrance fee and further study by scholars who are interested in this issue.

Finance is the core of modern economy. Banks lead the financial system in China and they also play a role in supporting and accelerating the development of domestic economy. It lasts more than 30 years since the reform and opening in 1978. During these 30 years, the China banks developed in prosperity. The strengths increase as well as the ability to withstand risk. At the mean time, the corporate governance has improved and institutions stably worked. Since 2004, the China government promoted the reform of government-owned banks and introduced foreign techniques and reform organizations to solve the inefficiency of government employee problems. In the end, it successfully lowers bad debt ratio and also enhances loan business. Due to the rapid growth of China economy, the entrepreneurs have mass demand on capitals. With these capitals, they make a fortune. However, compared to the entrepreneurs, the profitability of China banks is still weak. The P/E ratio of listed banks in China is significantly lower than companies in other industry. This study compares the P/E ratio between China banks and non-China banks and it also concerns the factors that influence P/E ratio, including both firm specific and macro-economic factors.

The real estate auction enforced by the court is known as court auction house. Due to the debt abnormity of debtor, the bank has to apply to the court for attachment and auction, so that the public has a chance to bid the real estate at a lower price than that in the open market. Hence, the investment of court auction house is prosperous in recent years. Considering the information of the court auction house such as construction area, land area, district position, storey, upset price, court eviction order, auction number and bidders, this study concludes the influence factors based on the referable information with the method of hedonic price theory and establishes the price model of court auction house as the reference of investors in terms of setting auction price. According to the above, the study puts forward three research objectives: 1. to explore the correlation and influence degree between auction price of court auction house and transaction price in the open market; 2. to use the hedonic price theory to analyze the factors influencing auction price of court auction house and establish relative price model as the reference of bidders for the evaluation of auction price; 3. to use factor analysis as the dimension reduction and simplify the influence factors of court auction house to raise the major correlated factors and reduce variables so as to avoid information overlapping. It provides the reference of bidders to evaluate the auction price from new explanation aspects. This study focuses on the influences of different factors on the auction price of court auction house, taking small-and-medium sized court auction house above 2nd floor with 20 tsubo ~50 tsubo from Oct. 1, 2007 to March 31, 2009 in 12 administrative districts in Taipei City as the research subjects. In the first chapter, the study explains research motives and objectives. The second chapter is about literature review at home and abroad and explores auction principles, procedures of real estate auction and factors influencing residence and court auction house. The 3rd chapter proposes the research methods based on the literature review and illustrates research hypothesis, information collection, duration, location, subject, variable selection, definition and model design. The 4th chapter conducts the empirical discussion which compares the court auction house and finished houses. Then, court auction house information is filled in the design model to explore the relationship of its auction price and court eviction order, bidders, upset price, auction number, specific storey number, total storey number, construction area, land area, present value, downtown, old downtown, suburbs and boom signal (score) to establish the hedonic price model. The factor analysis is conducted to conclude 13 hedonic price variables into 6 factors so as to explain the auction price of court auction house in a simpler way. At last, the study puts forward three conclusions: 1. court auction house is cheaper than that in the open market and changes greatly with market prosperity. In the recession, auction number is in the decline. 2. The hedonic price has been established. 3. The potential factors of hedonic price variables are integrated into 6 public factors as the reference for the bidders.

Rare metals (rare elements) are indispensable materials for the primary manufacturing industries mainly including mechanical industry, hi-tech industry, and green energy industry. Indium, which is the rare metal of main group elements, is the key element input for several hi-tech industries such as LED and TFT-LCD manufacturing industries. According to the current level of the reserves and the exploitation rates for indium, the estimated production year is only about 17 years. China, which accounts for 70% of global reserves and is the largest production and exporting country in the world, exhibits the monopoly power to influence the supply and price of indium. Due to the scarcity of the resources, China has been implementing various production and exporting restrictions on rare metals since 2002, which has caused the high volatility of indium prices. Previous literatures related to the metal prices are mainly concentrated on the precious metal or main metal. Because rare metals are important inputs for many hi-tech products, several technological leading countries have established strategic plans for indium in recent years. So far, only a few studies have investigated the balance between the price of rare metal and the factor that influences the exporting price of rare metal. There is still lack of studies on the prices of indium. In this study, we applied multiple regression models to investigate the relationship between the price of indium and several explanatory factors including the world crude oil price and the output levels of LED and TFT-LCD industries. We also added a dummy variable in the model to evaluate the effects of the production and exporting restrictions polies taken by China on the price of indium. The results show that all explanatory variables have significant effects on the price of indium except the output level of the TFT-LCD industry. There is a negative relationship between world cure oil price and indium price mainly because the demand for indium will be reduced as increases in crude oil price will tend to slow down the pace of global economic growth and reduce the demand for hi-tech products. The price of indium will increase as the output levels of LED industry increases because indium is an important and irreplaceable input for the production of LED. Furthermore, we also found that China’s production and exporting restrictions on indium did have significant positive effects on the price of indium. Therefore, our government and hi-tech industries should establish strategic plans for indium to cope with the high price volatility caused by the price risks of crude oil and the supply restrictions imposed by major exporting countries.

With the diversification of financial instruments, there are variety of assets to meet the needs of consumers. Golf thrived due to Tseng-Ya-Ni’s reputation in recent years. In addition, golf has the following characteristics: leisure, sports, communication at the same time. So the existence of such assets –golf club card is not just investments. When it comes to asset pricing the external macroeconomic environment will come to our mind. The purpose of this study is to explore whether each of the macroeconomic indicator has significant influence on the asset.

Housing market is one of the indicators to measure the prosperity in every country. After the Financial crisis of 2008, the housing price in Taiwan showed a sharply rising trend. The going up housing price made the issues about housing price be discussed and focused continuously. In order to investigate the factors that influenced the highly rising housing price after 2008, the empirical study focuses on researching the factors influencing the housing price of six cities. The paper establishes a supply-demand model and applies the method of Panel data to conduct the study. The result shows that the housing building area permitted has one-way impact on housing price; housing construction loan and housing price do not influence each other; the population of six cities has co-integration with housing price and they have long-run equilibrium relationship among them.

Abstract An Empirical Analysis on the Factors Influencing the Price of Estate Auction Conducted by the Court in Kaohsiung City. This research employs statistical analysis to investigate the factors which influence the price of estate auction conducted by the court in Kaohsiung City, especially the reserve price, the settlement price, the initial reserve price, the price difference between the settlement price and the initial reserve price, and the price difference between the price and the reserve price et cetera. More specifically, we build regression models and adopt houses as samples in 38 districts in Kaohsiung city from 2004 to 2018. Dependent variables are the price and price difference as just mentioned, and independent variables are basic conditions, features and locations. The empirical results show that the factors affecting the settlement price and the price difference are business cycles of real estate industry, house ages, the reserve price, the settlement price, the initial reserve price, the basic conditions of houses including the price per ping of floor space(the unit of area in Taiwan), the price per ping of land, floor space, land and times of auction. Furthermore, the business cycles of real estate industry display a positive correlation to the settlement price, and it displays a negative correlation to the price difference. The types of house (single-family houses and the ground floor) display a positive correlation to the settlement price and price difference. Finally, there is a significant correlation between the settlement price, price difference and locations, however, the relationship is nonsignificant between the settlement price, price difference, number of bidders and the conditions of handover.

Domestic property market transaction data are not transparent; as a result, data presented in the market are rather chaotic, which caused quite a disturbance for the individual property buyer. What will different transaction timing, property characteristic and surrounding characteristic do toward property pricing? This research will choose Banciao area of New Taipei City, the most populated area, as the research candidate, using property transaction data provided by Ministry of Internal Affair Property Transaction Service Network and electronic map application, to find out what affect property pricing. This research will use hedonic price method (HPM) as research method to determine what are the factors affect the property pricing in New Taipei City Banciao Area. Regression Model is divided into two parts, first the research will conduct analysis based on Box-Cox transformation Model, to identify the most appropriate regression model for Banciao area property pricing; second, it will build quantile regression of characteristic pricing model, to understand what are the factors affect property pricing. In conclusion, property size, property age, parking availability and adjacent to tight alley or not are noticeable factors, which proves that property buyer has his/her own preference of the property characteristic when making a purchase. Closer to library, MRT station and train station will push the property pricing higher, which proves that public infrastructure will provide a positive impact toward property pricing; however, closer to hospital and closer to park/ green field / arena will have a negative impact toward the property pricing and push the property pricing lower. Different transaction month will have little impact toward the higher transaction amount property, but will have a greater impact toward bottom 50 percentile of transaction amount property. And the impacts are followed: compared with Q4/2010 data, Q1/2011 property transaction total amount are approximately 6.28%~9.44% higher, Q2/2011 are 3.57%~14.02% higher, Q3/2011 are 4.97%~14.25% higher.

Shipbuilding industry is a high capital industry with high risk that is also deeply influenced by shipping market. Especially when the shipping market in depression, shipyards often have to compete each other from cheaper price or no ship to be made. Bulk carriers are divided into Capesize, Panamax, Supramax &; Handy Size, four major types. They play an important role of shipping market of raw materials. In the previous shipbuilding engineering research, most are related about fluid dynamics, structure design and automatic electronically controlled technical sophistication. However, the literature of the new- building price is less to find. This study adopts the unit root test, vector autoregressive model and Granger causality test steps for variable analysis. The empirical results identify the lead-lag relationship changes between the four major types of the price of newbuilding bulk carrier and variables before and after the financial tsunami. The testing results show that the BDI has leading property in the four types of new-building ship prices through the VAR model with cointegration test before and after the financial tsunami. In contrast, other variables of the raw materials have no such tendency. The Granger causality test of the new-building price and other various variables shows that the BDI only influences the new ship-building prices. As for the oil price, it has no cause-effect relationship with the new ship-building prices of the four types of bulk carriers before the financial tsunami; while after the financial tsunami, the oil price has cause-effect with the new-building prices of the Panamax and Supramax each other.

The main purpose of this study is to explore the factors influencing pricing strategies for foreclosure properties. Data gathered from two districts (Yingcon and East District) in Tainan were analyzed. The sampled data derived mostly from house foreclosure auctions during 2010 and 2011. Based on the hedonic price theory, the collected data were analyzed by the multiple regression analysis. Research findings reveal that out of the proposed eight factors determine property value of a foreclosure, six were found to be significantly influential in the study. These factors include the number of bidders, the number of foreclosed, check list, land area, building area and contiguous road. In both areas, the average price for used houses was higher than auctioned houses during the sampled year. The phenomenon was more prevalent in East District since the price difference was higher than Yingcon District. The foreclosure property market does provide profiting opportunities for both property investors and house buyers. The present result shows that to increase the chance to win a bid, investors have to fill out a bidding form with a 30% higher price than the minimum bid for the auction when they participate in the bid. Research findings reveal that the average percentage of failed auction is around 16%. This implies that the enforcement price is far from the expectation of the auctioneers in the market. A certain percentage of people think that the floor price of the foreclosed houses is not reasonable. Therefore, the government should correct the flaws in the law system, and help people understand the bidding process of foreclosed houses and the corresponding high risk.

According to CNN, Lisbon might be the “coolest city in Europe”. Lisbon has been considered
a very popular tourism destination and it is possible to see this through the number of tourists
that are visiting the Portuguese capital. This “boom” also occurred in cruise tourism with the
distinction of Lisbon as “Europe’s Leading Cruise Destination” by the World Travel Awards.
Subsequently, understanding which are the factors that tourists appreciate the most and what
can bring them back to Lisbon have been gaining a lot of importance.
Previous studies incorporating destination image and cruise tourism did not explore pride and
prestige as possible antecedents of revisiting a destination or did not find significant conclusions
when it comes to the relationship between destination image and intention to return. This
research examines the complex relationship between the components of image formation
process and destination image as well as analyses the influence of destination image and other
possible antecedents in tourist’s behavioural intentions, having into account the moderator
effect of economic status.
The findings verified the existence of a significant relationship between overall destination
image and intention to return and recognized the critical role of conative image in the overall
destination image of Lisbon. Moreover, it was possible to conclude that prestige of the cruise
acts as an antecedent of intention to return. Practically, this dissertation highlights the important
role of conative image and overall destination image and introduces prestige of the cruise as a
key factor in intention to return to a destination.Segundo a CNN, Lisboa pode ser a “cidade mais fixe da Europa”. Lisboa tem sido considerada um destino turístico muito popular e é possível ver isso através do número de turistas que visitam a capital portuguesa. Este “boom” também ocorreu no turismo de cruzeiros, com a distinção de Lisboa como “Melhor Destino de Cruzeiro” pelos World Travel Awards. Consequentemente, perceber quais são os fatores mais apreciados pelos turistas e o que os pode trazer de volta a Lisboa tem vindo a ganhar importância. Estudos anteriores sobre imagem de destino e turismo de cruzeiro não exploraram o orgulho e o prestígio como possíveis antecedentes de revisitar um destino ou não encontraram conclusões significativas acerca da relação entre a imagem de destino e a intenção de regressar. Esta dissertação examina a relação entre os componentes do processo de formação de imagem e a imagem de destino, bem como analisa a influência da imagem de destino e outros possíveis antecedentes nas intenções comportamentais do turista, considerando o efeito moderador da classe económica. Os resultados verificaram a existência de uma relação significativa entre a imagem global de destino e a intenção de regressar e reconheceram o papel crítico da imagem conativa na imagem global de Lisboa. Também foi possível concluir que o prestígio do cruzeiro atua como antecedente da intenção de regressar. Resumindo, esta dissertação destaca o papel da imagem conativa e da imagem global de destino e introduz o prestígio do cruzeiro como um fator chave na intenção de regressar a um destino.

In the past few years, governments worldwide have been reluctant to ignore the transaction prices of information asymmetry between certain real estate buyers and sellers. To overcome this problem, the Real Value Registry Scheme was implemented and to make the benefit of being positive, or both on the fair tax and less speculation in Taiwan. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the internal and external factors of buildings will significantly influence the unit price of it. First, this study investigate the situation of uncatalogued data. Second, sorting data by location, usage and sold year to compare the differences among those models. This problem introduces methods to empirical studies using regression on the internal and external factors influencing prices of real estate transactions in Tainan city after implementing the real value registry scheme. Examples of variables include the location area of a building, the total number of floors, housing use, business use, building materials, building age, number of rooms, number of halls, number of bathrooms and with management organization, specific year after implementing the real value registry scheme, total area of land transfer and total area of land building in 2012 and 2016 years. The result indicate that Model 7 is the best of all. Location and the numbers of bathrooms show positive influence on the real estate price. The number of rooms and management system are negative effects.

Full textAbstract:
This study presents two separate competitiveness analyses to assess changes in, and factors influencing, the long-term competitiveness of a panel of commercial milk producers in East Griqualand (EG), South Africa. The Unit Cost Ratio (UCR) method was used to measure competitiveness of EG milk producers. It is defined as the ratio of dairy enterprise accounting costs plus an opportunity cost of management at 5% of milk revenue, to total dairy enterprise revenue. The initial UCR analysis was used to partly investigate the impact of dairy market deregulation on the relative competitiveness of EG milk producers over the period 1983 to 2006. The results of this UCR analysis found that the sample of EG milk producers were not competitive based on the net local price, PL, received for milk but were competitive when dairy cattle trading income was included. This suggests that dairy cattle trading income played an important role in enhancing the competitiveness of EG dairy enterprises in the study period. Further UCR analysis revealed that differences in the inherent ability of members of the EG group to manage market deregulation impacted on the relative competitiveness of EG milk producers. The top onethird of the sample of EG milk producers remained relatively competitive from 1983 to 2006 due to higher real milk prices and lower real unit costs than producers in the bottom one-third category. Differences in relative competitiveness between the top and bottom one-third categories of producers were statistically significant. Based on the findings of the UCR analysis, a Ridge regression analysis was then used to investigate other factors influencing the long-term competitiveness of selected milk producers from EG using unbalanced panel data for the period 1990 – 2006. Results of the regression analysis showed that dairy herd size, the level of farm debt, annual production per cow, technology and policy changes over time, and the ratio of trading income to total milk income influence the long-term competitiveness of these milk producers. To enhance their competitiveness in a deregulated dairy market, relatively small and profitable EG milk producers should consider increasing herd sizes as the importance of herd size in explaining competitiveness suggests that size economies exist. All EG milk producers should consider utilising more pasture and other forages to lower feed costs and select dairy cattle of superior genetic merit to improve milk yields.Thesis (M.Sc.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2009.
