Description:	Abstract: Analysis of export supply functions showed that the price elasticity for quantities of goat skins exported from Brazil is +0.30 which indicates an inelastic response to price. Conversely, the elasticity of goat skins exported relative to the price of sheep skins in the internal market was -1.50, indicating a certain degree of substitution between sheep and goat skins in the internal market for manufacturing products. The quantity of goat skins supplied for export was sensitive to varia tion in the quantity produced in the previous year. This indicates that the quantity of goats slaughtered did not instantaneously affect the quantity of skins exported. The price of goat skins in the domestic market did not show the expected association with the quantity of goat skins supplied for exportation. To detect the influence of government policies on the export market for goat skins after 1972 a "dummy" vari able was introduced. The effects of the policy were found to be significant, indicating a reduction in the total amount of untreated skins available for export. The trend variable was also significant.
