Abstract:An input-output model is used to analyze the effects of dollar depreciation on US agricultural prices and income. Findings indicate that, in general, US agricultural producers do not depend heavily upon imported intermediate inputs, and thus costpush price increase effects should be small. The response of agricultural exports and export related income to a lower dollar depend on price transmission and export elasticities of demand.
