Book Description
Three distinctive methodological approaches are used in this book to achieve three different objectives relating to the impact of trade liberalization on the Colombian economy, with emphasis on the agricultural sector. First, results from a partial equilibrium model show that the Colombian agricultural sector is likely to lose from the implementation of the trade agreements modeled. Second, results from a multiregion, constant returns to scale computable general equilibrium model show that the Colombian economy may lose welfare, but that not implementing a trade agreement with the United States while losing the unilateral preferences they grant to Colombia would lead to even greater losses. Third, results from the general equilibrium model linked to a transportation model indicate that potential changes in the regional structure of agricultural production in Colombia are not negligible and may have important implications for harvested areas, output, and income. There are several implications from this research for policy design, among them the need for policy instruments to have both product and regional dimensions that take into consideration local characteristics.

"Agricultural Trade Liberalization investigates key issues in the Western Hemisphere, including potential scenarios for liberalization at the regional and multilateral levels, the effects of U.S. and European Union agricultural policies on trade, and the outcomes that a Free Trade Area of the Americas and a European Union-Mercosur trade agreement might have on agricultural trade flows. The book also examines the impact of sanitary and phytosanitary measures and biotechnology on agricultural trade, integration of sugar and dairy markets in the Americas, and a comparison of agri-food industries in the United States and Brazil. Finally, the book provides and overview of agricultural liberalization in the U.S.-Central American Free Trade Agreement and suggests a food security typology to be utilized by the World Trade Organization."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Reforming Agricultural Trade for Developing Countries
Author: John Nash
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 0821364979
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
In the ongoing Doha Development Round of World Trade Organization negotiations, developing countries have had much greater leverage, due at least in part to their large and growing share of world trade. But will the increased influence of developing countries translate into a final agreement that is truly more development-friendly? What would be key ingredients in such a final outcome of the negotiations, and what would the developing countries really get out of it. This two volume set seeks to answer these questions. This volume (Volume 1) is issues-oriented. It takes up some key questions in the negotiations, setting the stage with a historical overview of the Doha Development Agenda to help identify issues of most significance to developing countries, and then explores select issues in greater depth. Volume 2 addresses the question of how a development-friendly outcome to the talks would affect developing countries by quantifying the impact of multilateral trade reform. It presents several different approaches to modeling the effects of the outcome of negotiations, and then investigates why these (and other) modeling efforts produce such divergent results. Aimed at policymakers and stakeholders, this two-volume effort puts into the public domain important analytical work that will improve the chance for a pro-development outcomes of the Doha round negotiations.
