"Wool Price Differences by Preparation in the United States," written by David P. Anderson, Oral Capps, Jr., Ernest E. Davis and Shayla D. Teichelman, examines price differences for U.S. wools by looking at preparation variations and wool type. Data was collected from warehouses and wool pool sales across the United States from 1993 to 2002. The goal was to determine premium/discounts in wool prices by preparation and type, controlling for season, year, region, average-fiber diameter and lot size.
