Abstract

A mathematical model of a supply chain allows to simulate the ex-ante results of changes in different variables (e.g., taxes), which is useful for policy analysis. Whilst the main interest is the dairy farming industry, it is not possible to consider the sector’s performance in isolation because its economic results depend on its relationship with other stages of the supply chain.
Modelling has several difficulties because information of the chain is incomplete, inexistent, difficult to collect
and Scottish products such as milk, cheese are marketed together with products from other origins (e.g., rest of UK or from abroad).
