Studies of US-Mexico vegetable trade have generally emphasized the importance of US tariffs in determining the competitive advantage of US producers. Even so, research has identified at least four factors related primarily to the different levels of economic development in the US and Mexico that...

A censored Nonlinear QUAIDS model was applied to estimate Mexican meat demand parameters using annual household survey data for six years from 1992 to 2004. Results suggest that in Mexico and throughout the analyzed period, beef and pork meat were luxury items while chicken was a normal good....

For years, the U.S. price of grain sorghum has been settled as 95% of the price of corn. Nevertheless, the increasing demand for corn and grain sorghum in ethanol production might have changed that price relationship. In this study, we use cointegration and the vector autoregressive model with...

A censored non linear QUAIDS model was applied to estimate Mexican meat demand parameters using annual household survey data for six years from 1992 to 2004. Results suggest that in Mexico and throughout the analyzed period, beef and pork meat were luxury items while chicken was a normal good....

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...

Trade Liberalization effects on Agricultural Production Growth: The Case of Sri Lanka This paper examines the trade policy impacts on agricultural productivity in Sri Lanka based on the national data from 1960 to 2010. The empirical results suggest that the trade liberalization improved...

Demand elasticities at the table cut level are computed from a Mexican survey of household incomes and weekly expenditures, which is a stratified sample. A censored demand system is estimated incorporating stratification variables and it results in unbiased parameter and elasticity estimates,...

This article analyzes the export performance of the Mexican agricultural and food sector in recent years with emphasis on the changing competitiveness of those exports in the U.S. and world markets. The paper includes an examination of the general trends in Mexican agricultural and food exports,...

Evidence of meat trade in the form of table cuts suggests that consumer preferences and tastes vary across meat cuts. Unlike previous studies, this paper estimates demand elasticities at the table cut level from a Mexican survey of household incomes and expenditures, which is a stratified...

Despite much research on feed grains and oilseeds little is known about the dairy industry's influence on aggregate cottonseed demand. A transcendental logarithmic production model with regional dummy variables is used to estimate the US dairy industry's derived demand for cottonseed meal, corn,...
