Colombia negotiated bilateral Trade Agreements (TAs) with the United States and with the MERCOSUR region (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay). Colombian cattle and beef interest groups argue that TAs hurt the local beef supply chain. We employ a partial equilibrium framework to assess the...

We examine two distinct and important dimensions (e.g. symmetry vs. asymmetry and linearity vs. nonlinearity) of price transmission from international to retail coffee prices in France, Germany and the United States. We show that ignoring these two features of the price transmission process may...

We examine the impact of the end of the coffee export quota system (EQS) on internationalto- retail price transmission in France, Germany and the United States, taking into account the existence of long-run threshold effects and short-run price transmission asymmetries (PTAs). We find evidence...

The objectives of this study were (a) to determine the degree to which hard currency earnings constrained overall imports and coarse grain imports in command economies; (b) to measure the importance of import prices on grain imports and to trace the link of grain availability to meat production;...

This paper uses a two-good specific factors model to derive a relationship between international trade, land degradation, and welfare. Because developing countries enjoy comparative advantage in agriculture, they will export agricultural goods. We found that trade could lower steady state land...

APEC's "open regionalism" calls for free-trade in APEC but with benefits also accruing to non-APEC members. This study shows that "open regionalism" provides strong incentives for non-APEC economies to also liberalize their policies to maintain competitiveness. Inclusion of agriculture is...

The implications of markets, government policies and macroeconomic events,on the agricultural sector are discussed in these papers. The Implications of an Export Tax on Sectoral Growth: A Case in Pakistan Darren Hudson, Mississippi State University and Don Ethridge, Texas Tech University....

A complete US poultry meat export demand system is estimated. A gradually switching dynamic advertising AIDS model is assessed to evaluate the effectiveness of non-price export promotions for US poultry meat products in major targeted international markets. The export demand elasticities are...
