A STATIC POLICY FOR A DYNAMIC INDUSTRY: THE CALIFORNIA YOUNG ACT OF 1935
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sumner,
Daniel A.; Wilson,
Norbert L.W.
An economic history of the development of California dairy policies from 1935 to 1965 is used to support the hypothesis that the
incompatibility of discrete policy changes for a dynamic industry generates deadweight losses. Combining quantitative industry
data with legal and personal narratives provides evidence in support of the hypothesis.

Are Agricultural Policies Making Us Fat? Likely Links Between Agricultural Policies and Human

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Alston,
Julian M.; Sumner,
Daniel A.; Vosti,
Stephen A.
Rates of obesity among adults and children in the U.S. are soaring, with potentially huge private and social costs. Increasing
attention is being paid to agricultural policies as both the culprits through their perceived roles in reducing the relative prices of
energy-dense foods, and as the potential saviors through their perceived ability to do the opposite. However, the effects of
agricultural policies on human nutrition and obesity are not well understood. This paper considers (1) trends in agricultural
commodity prices, and the contributions of commodity policies and agricultural R&D policies to those trends, (2) the links
between changes in commodity prices and changes in food prices; and (3) the implications of price-induced changes in food...

In this research, we integrated an experimental auction with sensory science techniques—namely, trained sensory panels used to
analyze the sensory attributes of wines—to examine the effects of objective and sensory information in the market for
California-produced Cabernet Sauvignons. The experiment permitted observation of consumer valuation for sensory attributes of
wine, appellations, expert ratings, and wineries. Participants submitted bids each time they received new information about the
wines. The balanced experimental design permits evaluation of the effects of consumer characteristics on attribute valuation.
We had 236 people participate in the research, which consisted of nine rounds of bidding and one round of hedonic liking scores.

Richard S.; Sumner,

Food safety shocks can threaten the health of consumers, create havoc within an industry and result in severe losses to producers.
Governments often attempt to enhance food safety by mandating standards and inspection of food products to supplement the
voluntary efforts by private firms. This paper assesses a form of collective action that falls between typical government mandates
and purely private action. The California pistachio industry recently established a U.S. federal marketing order. This order sets
quality standards and requires inspection and certification, aiming to reduce the likelihood of dangerous or poor quality pistachios
being sold to consumers and to provide some quality assurance to consumers. Simulation results indicate that, across...

Domestic support and the WTO negotiations
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sumner,
Daniel A.
In their attempt to maximise trade benefits, agricultural trade negotiators must allocate scarce resources and consider trade‐offs
across issues such as liberalising foreign border measures or reducing foreign domestic subsidies. Analysis and examples support
the notion that more liberalisation will be achieved in the new WTO round by emphasis on lowering border barriers and export
subsidies rather than attempting to discipline domestic farm subsidies directly. Analyses of EU grain policy, Korean rice policy
and US sugar policy show how reduced export subsidy or more import access have substantial trade benefits, even if farmers are
compensated with payments or price supports.

Recent trade negotiations have attracted much attention to the consequences of domestic support applied to agricultural markets.
In various markets, researchers have examined the economic effects of regimes and scenarios with less, or different forms of,
domestic support including decoupled payments. Here we examine the domestic support regimes for processed fruits and
vegetables in the European Union (EU) where major policy changes were applied in 2001 and again in 2008. The changes were
billed as policy “reform” but no analysis has yet evaluated quantitatively the nature of what was reformed and what was not. A
simulation model is used here to assess the price, production, and welfare effects of policies that have been applied to the EU

PISTACHIOS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gray,
Richard S.; Sumner,
Daniel A.; Alston,

Henrich.
The California pistachio industry led an initiative to establish a federal marketing order, which mandates quality standards and an
inspection program to assure food safety and consistency in the quality of California pistachios. We develop a stochastic
dynamic simulation model of the pistachio market to investigate quantitatively the likely effects of such collective action enforced
by government mandates.
Simulation results indicate that, across the full range of parameters used in the analysis, the
benefit-cost analysis was always favorable to the proposed policy. The measured benefits to producers, the nation, or the world
always well exceeded the corresponding measure of costs, typically by many times.

We develop a simulation model to analyze the effects on U.S. milk markets of an Australia-U.S. free trade agreement. An
important contribution to the literature is the derivation of explicit supply and demand relationships for milk components, which
allows an analysis of long-term production, consumption, and trade patterns that is not tied to specific products. Simulations
indicate that increased imports from Australia, resulting from bilateral trade liberalization, would result in modest reductions in
U.S. milk prices and production.

Tight import barriers cover many milk products, but import quotas or prohibitive tariffs have not covered imports of a variety of
high-protein specialty products. These products without tariff rate quotas include various casein and milk protein concentrate
products. In recent years, imports of milk protein products into the United States have received increasing attention from U.S.
dairy interests. A simulation model is used to study the effects of imports of milk protein products on U.S. prices and production
of milk protein, on government purchases of dairy products, and on the production, prices and incomes of U.S. milk producers.

Explaining Variations in the Price of Dairy Quota: Flow Returns, Liquidity, Quota Characteristics,
and Policy Risk
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wilson,
Norbert L.W.; Sumner,
Daniel A.
An econometric model based on the net present value model is used to examine factors that drive the variation of California dairy
quota values over a 29-year period. The results suggest the price of quota is based on expected returns, variations in quota owner
liquidity, and the risk of policy default. The dominant influence on the variation of the quota price was the historical variation in
monthly flow of net benefits from owning quota. This analysis confirms that the rate of return to quota rises in periods of policy
uncertainty.

Low and variable farm income has been a main rationale for heavy government intervention in agricultural markets and income
transfers to farmers whether in Europe in response to disruptive agricultural imports and low world prices at the end of the 19th
century or in the US in response to the Great Depression. While the future of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is again
discussed and new directions are examined, it is fundamental to know to what extent low and variable farm income is still a
problem in contemporary European agriculture and a valid rationale for designing the new CAP. In this context, this paper first

This paper analyzes the rice production technology in Korea in the context of multi-output framework. The estimation uses a set

heterogeneous technologies for different farm sizes, and the possibility of output substitution. Unlike many previous studies, we
employ a farm-specific fixed effects model, which accounts for the effects of individual specific characteristics or constraints on
production. Our results suggest that considerable differences in technology exist across various farm sizes. Interestingly, input
substitution and output substitution possibilities are more limited for smaller farms. However, in general, output...

Hired hooves: Transactions in a south Indian village factor market

Bullocks are an important resource in Indian agriculture where they are used as draft animals. Previous research suggests that
farmers who do not own bullocks, or own bullocks in insufficient numbers relative to their land holdings, adjust bullock‐land
ratios through transactions in the land market, rather than by hiring bullock services. The reasons given for this behaviour are that
there are ‘inhibited’ or ‘missing’ village markets for bullock services. Results from a survey of the activities and transactions of
six bullock contractors during an entire cropping period show that village markets for bullock services exist continuously and are
far from being inhibited. Close monitoring of the bullock contractors’ transactions supplied rich evidence of the...

Implications of the US Farm Bill of 2002 for agricultural trade and trade negotiations

The US Farm Bill of 2002 is the latest in a 7-decade history of farm subsidy laws that transfer funds to farmers and regulate and
subsidize production of selected commodities. Fruit, tree nut, ornamental and vegetable crops, hay and meats remain outside
scope of main subsidy programs. The new law continues many innovations of the 1996 Act, such as removal of authority for
annual land idling and crop price floors accompanied by government stockholding. Government payments remain the primary
focus of commodity programs. The total amount of these payments are likely to remain similar to the amount paid in the period
1999–2001, but with some changes in the form of the programs. For example, allowing owners to update acreage and yield
payment bases creates...

E-commerce is penetrating agriculture, particularly for selling products directly to consumers. The wine industry is a case in point.
The industry has long-term experience in direct marketing. Many wineries welcome patrons at their premises for wine tasting and
for selling wine to them. Moreover, where the practice is allowed, shipping wine directly to consumers without the assistance of
trade intermediaries is a significant sales channel. E-commerce was adopted early in the wine industries of wired high-income
countries and the wine industry provides an opportunity for studying the adoption, use, and impact of e-commerce. Moreover,
because e-commerce has not spread evenly through all branches of agriculture, lessons learned from the wine industry may...

Hundreds of studies have been conducted since Griliches (1958) suggested a method for measuring the benefits to agricultural
research. Alston et al. (2000) reviewed 292 studies that reported 1,886 observations of returns to agricultural R&D. While
some studies consider complicated cases, most studies have focused solely on R&D policy. However, it is common that
agricultural R&D policy is combined with other policies, such as a price support, subsidy policy, non-market inducement,
and import restrictions. Naturally, when the benefits of agricultural research are measured without taking the related policies into
account, biased estimates are likely.

This research shows that the existing literature on milk marketing orders misses an important effect. Previous work ignores the
interaction of marketing orders with milk grading regulation. We model this interaction and show that producer benefits from
marketing orders have been smaller than previous work suggests, and, under some conditions, may even be negative. Additional
costs of producing fluid grade milk, omitted from previous welfare analyses, reduce producer benefits from marketing orders.
Estimates of the additional cost indicate that this previously unmeasured effect is a significant component of the total welfare
effect of marketing orders. An econometric model is developed to explain the variation in the fluid grade share of milk across...

This paper derives a simulation model that examines the food security of the grain producing households in China in an open
border model regime. We define a food inadequacy index (F.I.) to measure the change of the food security status under
alternative scenarios of border liberalization for the households. We conclude that if opening the border of grain market is
followed by a more variable grain price distribution, the food security status will deteriorate for the low-income households on
average. However, if border liberalization is followed by a decrease in mean of the price distribution, even with a more variable
distribution, the food security status improves.

More open international markets benefit the economy as a whole, as well as most U.S. agricultural producers. The Uruguay
Round Agreement laid out a useful framework. Specifically addressed here is why the key to further liberalizing agricultural trade
is reduction of tariffs as comprehensively and rapidly as politics will allow. Other issues such as export subsidies, tariff-rate quota
quantities, and developing-country relationships are also important, especially while tariffs are coming down. Internal support
rules have much less potential to liberalize trade. Finally, as the December 1999 World Trade Organization ministerial meeting
in Seattle demonstrated, delay in the negotiation process threatens liberalization.

As the result of Uruguay Round negotiations, Korea and Japan established tariff rate quotas (TRQs) for agricultural imports. Both
countries allocate the TRQs with various methods that show different fill rates and welfare implications. The state trading
enterprises play important roles in TRQ administration in both countries. The TRQs contributed to increased imports. However,
the transparency and commercial consideration in administrating the TRQs remain a concern and the access for some
commodities seems to be less open than would be the case if quota amounts were made available on a purely commercial basis.

There has been a rapid increase in recent years in invasive species and animal management economic research. Expanded interest
in the topic has been partially driven by the practical importance of public policy to deal effectively with invasive species, given
its public good aspects. This paper shows that the basic criteria of public goods: non-rivalry and non-excludability, apply directly
to animal disease border measures and eradication services, with some caveats. It is also argued that public policy should assess
disease control and eradication on grounds of biology, national economic interests, and international cooperation. Specific
regulations and programs must be evaluated on the basis of cost benefit principles.

Supply and demand for commodity components: implications of free trade versus the AUSFTA for
the US dairy industry

During the negotiations on the Australia–US free trade agreement (AUSFTA), the US dairy industry vigorously opposed opening
the US market to imports of Australian dairy products on the grounds that the US industry would be devastated. Subsequently, the
agreement signed in February 2004 made an exception for dairy, providing for only limited quota expansion and no free trade,
even at the end of the long implementation period. This paper presents a simulation model of world dairy markets, represented by
supply and demand equations for fat and non-fat components of milk and manufactured dairy products. We use the model to
analyse the effects on US milk markets of both a hypothetical agreement, allowing free bilateral trade in dairy products, and the
actual...

The Economics of Regulations on Hen Housing in California

J. Thomas.
Beginning January 1, 2015, conventional cage housing for egg-laying hens is scheduled to be prohibited in California. We
consider the economic implications of the new hen housing regulations on the California shell egg industry. Our data show that
egg production is more costly using noncage systems than conventional cages. The main result of the new regulations will be a
drastic reduction in the number of eggs produced in California, a large increase in egg shipments from out of state, little if any
change in hen housing for eggs consumed in California, and little change in egg prices in California.

The Effects of Agricultural Research and Farm Subsidy Policies on Human Nutrition and Obesity
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Alston,
Julian M.; Sumner,
Daniel A.; Vosti,
Stephen A.
Agricultural policies– including farm programs and R&D– are said to have contributed to obesity by making food
commodities cheaper and thereby encouraging consumption. This paper explores the links from agricultural policy to food prices
and consumption and suggests that contribution of agricultural policy to obesity is not so clear.

The Prospective Free Trade Agreement with Korea: Background, Analysis, and Perspectives for
California Agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lee,
Hyunok; Sumner,
Daniel A.
After several years of informal and formal negotiations, South Korea and the United States reached an agreement to move towards
free trade in April 2007. Currently, both countries await congressional approval before the agreement can be implemented. This
study explains the substance of the agricultural parts of the agreement and considers its agricultural implications. The study finds
that the Korea-United States Free Trade Agreement has the potential to be a significant demand driver for many sectors within
California agriculture.
Despite its high import tariffs, tight import quota quantities and restrictive sanitary and phytosanitary
regulations, South Korea has become a major agricultural importer from California. South Korea is an important export...

THE TRADE RESTRICTIVENESS INDEX: THE POTENTIAL CONTRIBUTION TO
AGRICULTURAL POLICY ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Salvatici,
Luca; Carter,
Colin A.; Sumner,
Daniel A.
In the policy arena, there is a demand for "trade distortion indicators", but many of the traditional indices are difficult to compute
and interpret. Recent developments in the literature have led to a new indicator: the Trade Restrictiveness Index (TRI). This paper
analyzes some problems related to the TRI's computation and interpretation. We argue that the index is theoretically well
grounded and offers potential for measuring the relative importance of agricultural policy distortions. However, the name of "trade
restrictiveness" index is seriously misleading, since the TRI does not provide a measure of trade flows restrictions.

Contact for this paper: Laura Bipes/University of Minnesota/Department of Applied Economics/ 1994 Buford Avenue./ St. Paul,
MN 55108 USA. From the start, agriculture played a central role in the Uruguay Round of GATT trade negotiations. The Punta
del Este Declaration called for a solution to the problems facing agricultural trade through modified trade rules and an agreement
to lower protection levels. It was recognized that such an improvement implied negotiations on the national farm policies as well
as just trade policies. The time that it took to reach agreement reflected the political sensitivity and technical complexity of this
task.
The Agreement embodied in the Final Act of the Uruguay Round breaks new ground for agriculture, and takes a big...

Traceability, Liability and Incentives for Food Safety and Quality
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pouliot,
Sebastien; Sumner,
Daniel A.
In this paper we focus specifically on the implications for additional traceability in the context of liability for food safety
problems. We model formally the linkage between traceability and food safety and establish the implications of an increase in
traceability-liability for food safety and related economic outcomes. The capacity to trace the origin of food increases the
possibility of legal remedy and compensation in case of food safety event. Traceability also allows parties to more easily
document that they are not responsible for harm. Therefore, traceability systems create incentives for firms to supply safer food.

TRADE IMPACT ON FOOD SECURITY: ANALYSIS ON FARM HOUSEHOLDS IN RURAL
CHINA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chang,
Min; Sumner,
Daniel A.
We simulate several alternative scenarios to access the impact of border liberalization on household food security in rural China.
We find that most Chinese farmers derive most their income from sources other than grain marketing and buy a significant
amount of staple grain. Opening the border to more import of grain resulting in lower the domestic price is likely to improve the
general level of food security for rural farm households in China.

Agenda 2000 reduces the bias in favor of low quality wheat in European Union (EU) production, but also improves access for
imports of high quality wheat. Therefore, this paper uses a partial equilibrium displacement model that differentiates wheat
according to its origin and end use to investigate the impact of Agenda 2000 on wheat supply and demand in France.
