The special safeguard mechanism—both quantity- and price-based—was key in the July 2008 failure to reach agreement in the World Trade Organization negotiations under the Doha Development Agenda. A stochastic simulation model of the world wheat market is used to investigate the effects of the...

This paper studies price discovery in Nikkei 225 markets through the nonlinear smooth transition price adjustments between spot and future prices and across all three futures markets. We test for smooth transition nonlinearity and employ an exponential smooth transition error correction model...

Wild pigs are spreading across the United States leaving potentially devastating crop losses in their wake. The majority of US corn, soybean, and wheat (approximately 85, 79, and 73%, respectively) and 6% of rice production are at risk in counties that do not currently have wild pigs. This work...

This work is divided into two complementary parts. In the first part, we develop a partial equilibrium model, through which it is possible to analyze the influence of tariff modicity and the illegal occupation of poles on four agents: energy distributors, telecommunications operators, and energy...

The inclusion of agricultural products in the current customs union is one of the potential future steps on the road to further political and economic integration between Turkey and the EU. This book examines the effects of such integration of agricultural markets on the Turkish agricultural...

The paper analyses the current ecological consequences of agricultural growth in Russia's main regions (oblast level) during 2011-2019. Our main hypothesis was that local environmental risks, like waste concentration, would be closely related to global climate risks such as greenhouse gas (GHG)...

This study assesses the impact of increased fertilizer prices under different scenarios on rice production, consumption, trade and prices. Using a global rice model based on a partial equilibrium framework, the simulation results show that a 30% to 100% increase in fertilizer prices would reduce...

We analyze a multi-period model of capital gains taxation with endogenous prices. Relative to an economy without taxation, a capital gains tax tends to lower prices and increase returns. Abstracting from tax redistribution policies, we find that a taxable investor's welfare falls, a nontaxable...

A significant question in agricultural economic research is understanding how economic shocks affect the different links of a productive chain, since the gains and losses induced by them might spread in a non-uniform way among the different actors. In the face of a scenario that advocates a...
