An econometric international supply/demand/trade simulation and forecast sorghum model in a partial equilibrium framework is built in this research paper to quantify the effects of key exogenous variables on the U.S.-Mexico sorghum trade. A forecast baseline is also established by using the...

This study assesses the sequential relationships between firm strategic factors, foreign direct investment (FDI) activity, and financial performance for a sample of U.S.-based multinational manufacturers. After using hierarchical regressions and path analysis, this study finds an unambiguously...

This study examines the role of price competitiveness and foreign activity in Ghana’s export performance. Using an augmented VAR model in conjunction with modified Wald tests, causal relationships are tested between real effective exchange rates, foreign GDP and both total and agricultural...

A single equation demand and a sourced differentiated Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) model are employed to investigate factors influencing the dairy import demand in China and competition among different exporters from 2002 to 2012. Results from both models are compared and own-price,...

Iran is the major producer of pistachio nuts in the world. Iran dominated the international pistachio export markets until 1982, when a new competitor, the United States, emerged in the international markets. Currently, both Iran and the U.S. are major pistachio exporters to Japan. The empirical...

Over the past decade, Ukraine has become an important player in the international feed grain market. From 2004/05 to 2012/13 it exported on average 25 percent of the total world barley annually, less than a percent lower than the largest barley exporter in the world - Australia. This research...

This paper reports the results from the estimation of an export determination model for transition countries for 2005-2011. We found that higher internal export fees had small negative impact on exports from countries not adjacent to the EU and that FDI had larger impacts on exports of resource...

This study analyzes the impact of climatic variability on ethanol trade between the Brazil and the U.S over a study period of 30 years, from 1980-2009. An econometric model was set up to estimate a net export supply function for Brazil, and a net import demand function for the U.S, as impacted...

To describe the effects of quantity and the exchange rate on prices in the U.S. open fish market, this study develops an augmented differential inverse demand model. The model is applied to the U.S. trout market for empirical analysis. The augmented differential inverse CBS demand system...

Following the completion of the implementation period for NAFTA, this market integration has influenced economic behavior in these markets. Given this assumption, this study identifies, ex-post, the effects of structural adjustment and tariff elimination on U.S. agriculture.
