A demand system model differentiating goods by origin is developed to examine impacts of duty drawback on U.S. orange juice exports and prices. An empirical analysis suggests that on average duty drawback has increased annual orange juice exports by about 16.5 million SSE gallons or 11% of...

The study examined the relationship between import price and retail price of grapefruit in Japan. Estimated retail-import price relationship indicate asymmetry responses distributed over time. Import price changes are not fully transmitted to the retail level, with import price increases being...

A demand system model differentiating goods by product form and origin is developed to examine the impact of eliminating U.S. tariffs on orange-juice prices. An empirical analysis suggests a range of tariff impacts on prices depending on the degree of substitution between products. The model...

This report provides fresh grapefruit import data regarding European Union 15 (EU-15) and an in-depth look into the share changes for fresh grapefruit imports by country of origin during the period from 1989 through 2006. The Rotterdam demand system was used to study the relationship among the...

The system-wide approach is used to develop an import allocation model based on blockwise dependence. The import demand system is parameterized using the absolute version of the Rotterdam model. Two empirical examples are given to illustrate the approach.
