Our task How to estimate and test discount factor model. Ep,=E(m (data 1, parameter)) 1. Bring an asset pricing model to data to estimate free parameters. For example, parameter,yinm=B(c+1/c)-y Or the b in m=b f 2. Evaluate the model, is it a good model or not? Is another model better?

Introduction The consumption-based model as a complete answer to most asset pricing question in principle, does not work well in practice; This observation motivates effects to tie the discount factor m to other data; Linear factor pricing models are most popular models of this sort in finance; They dominate discrete-time empirical work

The food manufacturing industry, in general, has always been a highly competitive business but no branch of it is more so than dehydration. Profitability hinges on so many factors, some of which are outside the manufacturer's control. One of the main hazards in this context is that of climate. Total solids in raw materials are the key to a viable operation, and, if these are low, due to wet growing conditions, the plant throughput is going to be seriously reduced
