| Abstract: | The paper constructs a theory-based empirical test of rent-shifting behaviour that relies on observations of government precommitment variables employed through State Trading nterprises (STEs). The analysis applies data on the delayed producer payment structure of the Canadian Wheat Board and examines its merits as a rent-shifting mechanism in the international durum market. |
