The Impact of Non-tariff Barriers on Trade: The Gravity Model on Turkish Agri-Food Products
Asci, Serhat; Koc, A. Ali; Erdem, M. Sukru - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2013
The competition between the U.S. and the E.U. agricultural subsidies during 1980s decreased the world prices in agricultural and food markets but caused an extensive distortion in the international trade of agricultural and food products. Under these circumstances, World Trade Organization (WTO)...

Does Sanitary and Phytosanitary regulation stringency affect developing countries exports? Evidence from Chilean fruit exports
Melo, Oscar; Engler, Alejandra; Nahuelhual, Laura; … - International Association of Agricultural Economists - IAAE - 2012
Increasing awareness of food safety issues has brought a boost in sanitary and phytosanitary regulations and standards. Although is likely that these regulations have increased health and welfare in the countries that impose them, they may also have an important effect in exporting countries,...

Nontariff Barriers as Bridge to Cross
Munasib, Abdul B.A.; Roy, Devesh - International Association of Agricultural Economists - IAAE - 2011
Importing country standards emerge as an effective trade barrier when they exceed those of the exporting country’s domestic market. We introduce a new concept: bridge to cross (BTC), the regulatory gap between the exporting and importing countries. Importer regulations cannot be identified in...

Nontariff Barriers as Bridge to Cross
Munasib, Abdul; Roy, Devesh - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2013
This research assesses the effects of sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) standards in international trade by introducing a new concept, bridge to cross (BTC), with product standards. The BTC in this paper is the regulatory gap between the exporting and importing countries with regard to any...

POTENTIALS OF EGYPT AGRICULTURAL BILATERAL TRADE WITH THE ARAB COUNTRIES: GRAVITY MODEL EVIDENCE
Said, Mohamed Ahmed; Shelaby, Ayman Abd-Alkawy - In: International Journal of Food and Agricultural … 2, 1
The paper aims at evaluating the determinants of agricultural bilateral trade flows of Egypt with the Arab countries. A gravity model has been used in addition to some other indicators such as relative importance of intra-trade, tendency to export and import, and degree of openness. Two models...

The Gravity Model and the Problem of Zero`s in Agrifood Trade
Haq, Zahoor Ul; Meilke, Karl D.; Cranfield, John A.L. - Canadian Agricultural Trade Policy Research Network (CATPRN) - 2011
and this is a problem when estimating log-linear gravity equations. This has caused many researchers to either ignore the zero trade flows or to replace the zero with a small positive number. Both of these actions bias the resulting parameter estimates of the gravity equation. In this study we...

Regulatory SPS instruments in meat trade
Schlueter, Simon W.; Wieck, Christine; Heckelei, Thomas - Institut für Lebensmittel und Ressourcenökonomik, … - 2009
Policy makers have to choose between different potentially risk-reducing instruments regulating agri-food trade. Analysing the meat sector, the paper aims at identifying least trade distorting regulations for different policy goals relevant to the SPS agreement. For this purpose, a non-linear...

Does the Gravity Model Suffer from Selection Bias?
Haq, Zahoor Ul; Meilke, Karl D.; Cranfield, John A.L. - Canadian Agricultural Trade Policy Research Network (CATPRN) - 2010
When analyzing bilateral trade flow data, zero trade flows are quite common and problematic when a gravity equation is estimated with a log-linear functional form. This has caused many researchers to either ignore the zero trade flows or to replace zero with a small positive number. Both of...
