| description |
Malaysian palm oil market is vulnerable to the market variables and
policy instruments. This study is undertaken to model Malaysian palm oil market
and evaluate the impact of the market variables and policy instruments on
Malaysian palm oil market. Eleven structural equations and six identities are
specified and identified. The structural equations are estimated by means of the
two-stage least square with principal component employed in the first stage
regression. The effects of variations in the market variables and policy
instruments on Malaysian palm oil market are obtained by simulating the
market models and by deducting the simulated values from the base solutions.
The results show that estate production is determined by production
lagged one period, current price, domestic price lagged four to six periods and rubber price. The adjustment coefficient of estate production is low at 0.2834.
The price elasticity of estate supply is inelastic at 0.1721.
Smallholder production is influenced by production lagged one period,
domestic price lagged five and six periods and re-planting grant. The price
elasticity of supply for smallholder and its adjustment coefficient are inelastic
at 0.0577 and low at 0.1924 respectively.
Domestic demand is determined by the price of groundnut oil, Malaysian
industrial production index and domestic demand lagged one period. The
elasticities of domestic demand with respect to own price and substitute prices
are inelastic. The adjustment coefficient of domestic demand is also low at
0.4872.
Except for the United States and the rest of EEE, price of Malaysian
palm oil in the world market is an important determinant of Malaysian palm oil
export to the importing countries. Export of Malaysian palm oil is also influenced
by prices of its substitutes, industrial production index in each country and
lagged of one period of its export. The elasticities of the export demand to all
of the countries with respect to own price and its substitute prices are inelastic.
The main determinants influencing Malaysian palm oil price in the world
market are world consumption of palm oil and lagged one period of Malaysian
palm oil price in the world market rubber price. The adjustment coefficient of estate production is low at 0.2834.
The price elasticity of estate supply is inelastic at 0.1721.
Smallholder production is influenced by production lagged one period,
domestic price lagged five and six periods and re-planting grant. The price
elasticity of supply for smallholder and its adjustment coefficient are inelastic
at 0.0577 and low at 0.1924 respectively.
Domestic demand is determined by the price of groundnut oil, Malaysian
industrial production index and domestic demand lagged one period. The
elasticities of domestic demand with respect to own price and substitute prices
are inelastic. The adjustment coefficient of domestic demand is also low at
0.4872.
Except for the United States and the rest of EEe, price of Malaysian
palm oil in the world market is an important determinant of Malaysian palm oil
export to the importing countries. Export of Malaysian palm oil is also influenced
by prices of its substitutes, industrial production index in each country and
lagged of one period of its export. The elasticities of the export demand to all
of the countries with respect to own price and its substitute prices are inelastic.
The main determinants influencing Malaysian palm oil price in the world
market are world consumption of palm oil and lagged one period of Malaysian
palm oil price in the world market |
