We study the performance over the last fifteen years of exports of typical, Made in Italy agri-food products. First, we estimate the aggregate elasticities of exports values with respect to world imports, export prices and the prices applied by our competitors. Second, we show that aggregate...

A general equilibrium model is developed to study the environmental implications of agricultural policies. Model results show that declines in the acreage reduction program (ARP) would reduce agricultural fertilizer use, but the return of ARP land to production would lead to an overall increase...

Canadian broiler price responses to increases in US prices either have lessened in magnitude and duration or have been eliminated since Canada's broiler supply management program began in 1979. The authors used monthly vector autoregressions of US and Canadian broiler prices (farm and retail),...

This paper develops and applies an export-side international trade model to analyze economic gains resulting from trade liberalization in the world wheat market. Major policy variables in the analysis include the removal of producer and consumer subsidy equivalents in industrialized countries....

Prior empirical studies ignore that markets, subject to overshooting, determine farm prices and macroeconomic variables jointly. So, these elasticities are statistically unreliable. Using cointegration, with all variables determined simultaneously, we find that instantaneous wheat price...
