Source: Authors' for ATPSM parameters and Sumner (2003).

Note: In the ATPSM model, for the remaining countries cotton demand elasticities are set at -0.20 and supply price elasticities at 0.20. Blanks mean that relevant elasticity is not reported.

1/ These are reported by Sumner as planted area elasticities
