1. A dual approach to evaluating research benefits in the presence of trade distortions

Author:
Martin, W.J.; Alston, J.M.
Source:
American journal of agricultural economics 1994 v.76 no.1 pp. 26-35
ISSN:
0002-9092
Subject:
welfare economics; mathematical models; agricultural research; elasticities; trade balance; profits and margins
Abstract:
... We present a new approach for evaluating the welfare consequences of technical change. A major feature is its ability to incorporate multiple distortions and multiple sources of technical change in interrelated markets. A modified balance-of-trade function provides money measures of welfare change in terms of producer profits. consumer expenditures, and tax revenues. Alternative specifications of ...

2. A positive theory of agricultural protection

Author:
Swinnen, J.F.M.
Source:
American journal of agricultural economics 1994 v.76 no.1 pp. 1-14
ISSN:
0002-9092
Subject:
economic development; mathematical models; politics; trade policy; farm income; equilibrium theory; supply balance; agricultural products; demand elasticities; production economics; agriculture
Abstract:
... The present paper analyses the political economy of agricultural protection in a general equilibrium framework. Rational politicians offer protectionist policies in return for political support from their constituency. Individuals in the economy have different factor endowments. Politicians exploit these differences in establishing redistributive policies when maximizing political support. Changes ...

3. A virtually ideal production system: specifying and estimating the VIPS model

Author:
Chambers, R.G.; Pope, R.D.
Source:
American journal of agricultural economics 1994 v.76 no.1 pp. 105-113
ISSN:
0002-9092
Subject:
agriculture; mathematical models; production economics; United States
Abstract:
... We characterize the class of profit functions termed VIPS for "virtually ideal production system". VIPS is consistent with all derived demands being linear in numeric functions of output prices. A flexible but parsimonious version of the VIPS profit function is specified and the implied supply-response system is estimated using aggregate U.S. agricultural data. ...

4. Germany and the CAP: a bargaining model of EC agricultural policy formation

Author:
Field, H.; Fulton, M.
Source:
American journal of agricultural economics 1994 v.76 no.1 pp. 15-25
ISSN:
0002-9092
Subject:
mathematical models; politics; trade; agricultural products; European Union; agricultural subsidies; Germany
Abstract:
... A bargaining model of EC agricultural policy formation is formulated. The model allows for more explicit consideration of political factors than is possible in standard political economy models. It shows how the political system in Germany has increased the power of German farm interests relative to farm interests elsewhere in the EC. The paper recognizes CAP negotiations are an on-going process. ...

5. Marketing orders as nontariff trade barriers

Author:
Chambers, R.G.; Pick, D.H.
Source:
American journal of agricultural economics 1994 v.76 no.1 pp. 47-54
ISSN:
0002-9092
Subject:
international trade; mathematical models; nontariff trade barriers; United States; Mexico
Abstract:
... Previous analysis shows that, under autarky, all groups must lose from minimum quality standards with symmetric information. We find that, with international trade, it is possible for one country to gain by introducing minimum quality standards. However, it is not possible for both countries to gain from the standards. This result implies that minimum-quality standards are nontariff trade barriers ...

6. Pricing to market with transactions denominated in a common currency

Author:
Pick, D.H.; Carter, C.A.
Source:
American journal of agricultural economics 1994 v.76 no.1 pp. 55-60
ISSN:
0002-9092
Subject:
mathematical models; foreign exchange; wheat; international trade; Canada; United States
Abstract:
... We present a model with two exporters who ship a differentiated commodity to the same import destination. All pricing occurs in a common currency, that of the home exporter. We show that the foreign-exporter to home-exporter exchange rate can influence the home exporter's pricing decision. It has been previously argued that only the importer to home-exporter exchange rate matters to the home expor ...
