Ultimately, it is determined by supply and demand.  If people want dollars on the foreign exchange market then their value increases and so the exchange rate increases. \n\nSo what affects supply and demand?\n\nthree main things.\n\nCurrent account transactions (ie trade)\n\nSuppose the people of the UK buy more US goods (the firms will demand payment in $)- so the price of dollars will rise as there is more demand for them.  This is offset by the US buying UK goods.\n\nHowever, people are most likely to buy foreign goods when their currency is valuable - as foreign goods will be cheaper.  So you can see this will balance out - as more people buy US goods - the more the dollar will rise - so the cheaper UK goods will be for the US (and the more expensive Us goods will be for the UK) - so the less demand they'll be, so the dollar will fall, etc.\n\nCapital account flows (investement)\n\nSuppose the US has higher interest rates than the UK, then investors will invest in the US - creating more demand for dollars.\n\nGovernment intervention\n\nThe government might make open market transactions if they want to maintain a particular exchange rate.\n\nNow the last two factors will affect exchange rates in the short term - but it is the balance of payments that determine it in the long-term.  This will ultimately be affected by productivity and inflation.

Agricultural policy decision making in economies undergoing transition to market is in need of empirical tools for assessing the impact of alternative policy options. The econometric means available for such exercise, however, are limited for lack of data and structural breaks in economic behaviour. Synthetic, partial equilibrium, multi-market models offer a potential alternative. Such models have been used extensively, even in advanced economies, to offer valuable insights on the impact of alternative policy options. This paper shows the use of such a partial equilibrium, multi-market, synthetic-type model as a tool for agricultural policy analysis in a country in transition. The model is applied for Albania, a predominantly agricultural country that, after a period of centralism and autarky, aims to re-join the international economic system. The model, albeit its many limitations, offers some useful insights on the impact of alternative options available for agricultural price and trade policy.\n\nalso u might wanna check out this site for further info:\nhttp://ideas.repec.org/a/kap/ecopln/v32y1999i2p103-27.html

Before the cotton gin, it was time consuming to hand-pick all the seeds from the cotton. This made cotton more expensive than wool. The cotton gin could do the work of many people so the price of cotton fell as the supply grew.\nIt also had a lot to do with the demise of commercial hemp production in America if I remember right

the market price for such products are higher  \nthe way in which they are produced involves less intensive use of land, \nthe attainment of a better balance between supply of, and demand for, agriculture products, \nbetter protection of the environment.

wool?  There certainly are a lot of sheep in NZ.

Ask a sheep!  :)\n\nSee link below:\n\n"Wool is comfortable to wear in both warm and cool climates. This is because wool is an absorbent fiber. When the air is cool and damp, wool absorbs moisture and keeps a layer of dry, insulating air next to the skin. When it's warm, that same absorption capacity takes up perspiration and keeps insulating dry air next to the skin, making the body's natural cooling system work better."\n\nHowever, I agree with those above me -- I wouldn't wear wool in summer.  Sounds uncomfortable.

The price depends on supply and demand.\nCurrently demand is high as the world economy is expanding.

Has to be Australia/Oceania, with Australia producing most of the world's marino and medium wools and New Zealand producing most of the world's strong wools.

Wool is the fibre produced as the outer coat of sheep. Most of the fibre from domestic sheep has two qualities that distinguish it from hair or fur: it has scales which overlap like shingles on a roof and it is crimped; in some fleeces the wool fibres have more than 20 bends per inch.

The price of the quality.\nSomething can be cheap, but never worth been seen in ie, never wear it... Or a product can be average price & have a many wear opportunity... Then again ,there are expensive clothes that I've only had the chance to wear out once... Find the middle ground.

Diamonds are not rare. South Africa has a bunch in storage that they hide until the current ones are sold.\n\nAs for worth, that depends on the size of the diamond, cut, clarity, and flaws---and the current market price.
