In this contribution it is argued and empirical proven, complementary to the existing literature, that distance to a trading partner especially in agricultural trade does not only reflect transport costs but also different areas of cultivation. The study accounts for the described patterns by...

This paper estimates trade duration of raw coffee exports into the European Union (EU) market comparing different discrete-time duration models using monthly trade panel data from 1988 to 2013. As coffee is an important export commodity and revenue generator for many developing and least...

This contribution argues and proves empirically that trade in agricultural products could be the higher the more distant two trading partners are. Distance in agricultural trade does not only reflect transport costs but also differences in climatic and cultivation conditions and, thus, in...

In diesem Beitrag wird der deutsche Außenhandel mit Produkten der Agrar- und Ernährungswirtschaft in einem Gravitationsmodell analysiert. Ziel ist es, die relevanten Bestimmungsgründe für den Außenhandel mit diesen Produkten zu identifizieren und zu quantifizieren. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt in...

Pricing-to-market (PTM) evidence in German sugar confectionery exports is examined, combining the original fixed-effects model of Knetter (1989) and an errorcorrection specification (ECM) at three frequency levels, to assess how neglecting time-series properties and the choice of frequency...

Pricing decisions of exporters, who are facing imperfect competition in their destination markets, might depend on exchange rate changes. While empirical literature often assumes that the impact of the exchange rate on the exporters’ prices is linear and the markup adjustment does not depend...

Each time the Euro starts appreciating, a discussion on how painful this might hit European exporters arises in media, making politician and economists work out the ways to mitigate possible shocks. Still, in his recent study, Verheyen (2013a) using aggregated European exports to the US as an...

Using aggregated EMU exports to the US as an example, VERHEYEN (2013) showed, that in the long run exports react to exchange rate changes in a nonlinear way. In this paper we test whether this holds true for agri-food exports as well. To address this question we apply a partial sum decomposition...

Die Verteilungswirkungen der Europäischen Agrarpolitik (GAP) sind in den letzten Jahren verstärkt in den Fokus des wissenschaftlichen und politischen Interesses getreten, insbesondere seitdem soziale und wirtschaftliche Kohäsion zu einem zentralen Ziel der europäischen Politik erklärt...

Origin matters. This has been shown by numerous studies using either discrete choice or hedonic approaches to derive implicit prices for origin as a product attribute. In most of the hedonic studies, intercept dummies were introduced for specific regional origins and statistically significant...
