Econometric approach to evolve viable cattle development financing schemes

Abstract

This paper attempts to a) arrive at estimates of marketed surplus of milk, b) to simplify the computational methods for pooling cross section and time series data, and c) to determine the terms of repayment of loans (particularly the number of years and the percentage of amount to be deducted from the sale proceeds). We believe that the findings will be useful to financial institutions in evolving cattle development schemes.
