Note. Subscripts 1, 2, and 3 refer to piglet, hog, and pork, respectively. Parameters in the conditional mean and variance equations are as defined in the model. The shapes in full sample and subsample II are the shape of GED distribution and t-degree of student-t distribution. The symbols , , and indicate statistical significance at the 10%, 5%, and 1% level, respectively.
