Abstract

Starting in 1970 apple (Malus spp.) american imports from the southern hemisphere countries show an increasing pattern. This paper states a model to estimate the reducing effect on apple price in the american market, due to such imports. Assuming that the indifference condition of markets through time occurs, the proposed model is explained by stock levels and not by demand fluxes, as it happens in most price behavior models.
