“…Specifically, canola would be the next logical choice to include in the model. The problem with including canola is that this crop was not a large competitor for land in Saskatchewan until the late 1960s (Paddock 1971). There are at least two reasons why this was true.…”

This paper calculates the historical ex ante producer surplus of initial payments acting as price floors to Saskatchewan wheat and barley producers. To do this, a Nerlovian-type partial adjustment model and rational expectations are used. The Nerlovian model is somewhat unique in that it is argued that the Nerlovian partial adjustment model can be expanded to a multi-product partial adjustment model, and this is strongly supported by the data. The calculation of the ex ante producer surplus to Saskatchewan producers indicates that initial payment policy is causing only minor market distortions.Dans le prtsent document, on Ctablit la partie exctdentaire des paiements par anticipation initiaux B la production qui servent de prix plancher aux producteurs de blC et d'orge de la Saskatchewan.

Econometric models of the provincial rapeseed acreage are developed for Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, acknowledging that acreage responses differ among the three producing provinces. The OLS and the seemingly unrelated regression methods are used for estimation. The effects of explanatory variables are substantially different in their magnitudes among the provinces, and yet the three models as a whole are consistent with an aggregate model for the prairie region. Price elasticities of the rapeseed acreage obtained from the models show that the acreage is quite elastic with respect to both its own price and wheat price. Finally, the models are employed in estimating the effects on the rapeseed acreage of the railway branchline abandonment recommended by the Hall Commission. This shows that individual provinces would have somewhat different impacts from the Recommendation. Le rapport expose des modèles économétriques de la production de colza en Alberta, en Saskatchewan et au Manitoba, tout en tenant compte que les variations dans la superficie cultivée diffèrent dans les trois provinces productrices. Pour leur estimation, les auteurs ont eu recours à la méthode des moindres carrés et à la méthode d'estimation simultanée. L'importance des effets des variables explicatives diffère sensiblement d'une province à l'autre; néanmoins, dans leur ensemble, les trois modèles cadrent avec un modèle global pour les Prairies. D'après les coefficients d'élasticité‐prix obtenus à partir des modèles, la superficie cultivée de colza est à la fois élastique au prix du colza et à celui du blé. Les modèles servent enfin à estimer l'incidence sur la superficie cultivée de colza, de l'abandon d'embranchements ferroviaires recommandé par la Commission Hall. II en ressort pour chacune des provinces des implications quelque peu diffèrentes de celles de la recommendation de la dite Commission.
