"Interfiber Competition in Textile Mills Over Time." _Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics_ 26.1(1994): 173-182.1074-0708http://hdl.handle.net/2346/1560Cotton and synthetic fiber competition in textile mills between 1961-1990 was examined using a time-varying parameter regression model. Results indicate that the structure of demand for cotton is not stable and cotton's share responses to changes in the prices of cotton and synthetic fiber vary over time. Cotton and synthetic fiber competition in textile mill use is essentially between cotton and noncellulosic fiber. Cellulosic fiber is not a cotton competitor.en-UScotton, structural changes, synthetic fiber, time-varying parameterArticle
