In this paper, we take the yield impacts of Schlenker and Roberts (2009), specifically on cotton, under a range of uniform temperature changes and apply it to a global fiber model to map changes in cotton production and prices. Although we use the 2011-2020 time period, the results should be...

This paper studies how the internal structure of agriculture export markets and the level of competition affect poverty and welfare in rural areas in Africa. We develop a game-theory model of supply chains in cash crop agriculture between many atomistic smallholders and a few exporters. The...

Since the mid-1980s, the Indonesian economy has been progressively liberalized, following a self-adjustment process after the drop in oil prices. Despite these adverse circumstances the country managed to maintain rapid economic growth, as it had since the end of the 1960s. The agricultural...

In recent years, concern has arisen about the structure of the international grain trade and its ability to operate in the interest of exporting or importing countries (McCalla and Schmitz). Producers and consumers question whether international market intermediaries' interests or strategies...

A partial equilibrium, duality-based empirical model is used to measure the tariff and nontariff barrier effects on fresh tomato prices, quantities, and labour demand in Florida, USA, and Sinaloa, Mexico. Reduced-form estimates indicate that the US unit tariff has increased agricultural labour...

This paper measures the impact of US monetary policy on prices and trade in the workd coarse grains market. A long-run, nonlinear, nonspatial price equilibrium world model of the coarse grains market was constructed that endogenizes the US exchange rate while implicity accounting for the pricing...

Japan's policies and import demand structures for beef, maize, and sorghum were reviewed and quantified using a system of 12 seemingly unrelated equations consisting of 12 endogenous and 23 exogenous vanables. Empirical implications drawn from this model indicated that Japan's beef import quota...

Policies affecting agricultural trade are a source of uncertamty for participants m international markets. Soyabeans and soyabean products are currently imported without duties by the European Community and are used extensively m livestock feed. Some have suggested that import leVIes or duties...

The international market for grains joins economic and political decision making at the national level. Outcomes predicted from the theory of comparative advantage can be potentially swayed by political swayed by political choices as well as technical factors. Empirical estiamtes of import...
