Effects of Marketing Loans on U.S. Dry Peas and Lentils:  Supply Response and World Trade
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lin,   William W.; Lucier,   Gary.
The 2002 Farm Act required USDA to implement marketing loans for the 2002-07 crops of dry peas, lentils, and small chickpeas. This provision led to expanded acreage for dry peas and lentils, crops analyzed in this study. The analysis found that marketing loans played a role in expansion for dry peas in 2003-05 and for lentils in 2003. For dry peas and lentils, marketing loans contributed to acreage expansion in North Dakota and Montana. Simulation model results suggest that marketing loans had negligible impacts on world prices for dry peas and lentils in 2003-05. Impacts on U.S. exports were minor, increasing by about 2 percent in 2003.

Agricultural biotechnology has been advancing very rapidly, and while it presents many promises, it also poses as many questions. Many dimensions to agricultural biotechnology need to be considered to adequately inform public policy. Policy is made more difficult by the fact that agricultural biotechnology encompasses many policy issues addressed in very different ways. We have identified several key areas — agricultural research policy, industry structure, production and marketing, consumer issues, and future world food demand — where agricultural biotechnology is dramatically affecting the public policy agenda. This report focuses on the economic aspects of these issues and addresses some current and timely issues as well as longer term issues.

SEGREGATION OF NON-BIOTECH CORN AND SOYBEANS: WHO BEARS THE COST?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lin,   William W.; Johnson,   D. Demcey.
This study focuses on the economics of segregating U.S. non-biotech corn and soybeans for shipments to Japan, the primary export market for U.S. non-biotech grains and oilseeds, as a case study.  The purposes of this paper are two-fold: 1) to estimate price premiums that buyers in both the U.S. domestic and Japanese export markets were willing to pay for non-biotech corn and soybeans for the 2000-2002 crops; and 2) to examine who bears the cost of segregation.

How does Biotech Labeling Affect Consumers' Purchasing Behavior? A Case Study of Vegetable Oils in Nanjing, China
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dai,   Yingchun; Tuan,   Francis C.; Lin,   William W.; Zhong,   Funing; Chen,   Xi.
This study analyzes whether biotech labeling has an impact on consumers'’ purchasing behavior in China using vegetable oils in Nanjing as a case study.  Results from an Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) based on retail scanning data suggest that biotech labeling induced only a modest switch in vegetable oils consumption away from labeled soybean and blended oils and toward non-biotech vegetable oils.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Price,   Gregory K.; Lin,   William W.; Falck-Zepeda,   Jose Benjamin; Fernandez-Cornejo,   Jorge.
This study estimates the total benefit arising from the adoption of agricultural biotechnology in one year (1997) and its distribution among key stakeholders along the production and marketing chain. The analysis focuses on three biotech crops: herbicide-tolerant soybeans, insect-resistant (Bt) cotton, and herbicide-tolerant cotton. Adoption of these crops resulted in estimated market benefits of $212.5-$300.7 million for Bt cotton, $231.8 million for herbicide-tolerant cotton, and $307.5 million for herbicide-tolerant soybeans. These benefits accounted for small shares of crop production value, ranging from 2 percent to 5 percent. U.S. farmers captured a much larger share (about a third) of the benefits for Bt cotton than with herbicide-tolerant soybeans...

SUPPLY RESPONSE UNDER THE 1996 FARM ACT AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE U.S. FIELD CROPS SECTOR
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Torre Ugarte,   Daniel de la; Sanford,   Scott; Skinner,   Robert A.; Westcott,   Paul C.; Lin,   William W.
The 1996 Farm Act gives farmers almost complete planting flexibility, allowing producers to respond to price changes to a greater extent than they had under previous legislation. This study measures supply responsiveness for major field crops to changes in their own prices and in prices for competing crops and indicates significant increases in responsiveness. Relative to 1986-90, the percentage increases in the responsiveness of U.S. plantings of major field crops to a 1-percent change in their own prices are wheat (1.2 percent), corn (41.6 percent), soybeans (13.5 percent), and cotton (7.9 percent). In percentage terms, the increases in the responsiveness generally become greater with respect to competing crops' price changes. The 1996 legislation has...

The Economics of Testing for Biotech Grain: Application to StarLink Corn
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Johnson,   D. Demcey; Lin,   William W.
StarLink corn, a variety not approved for human use, disrupted the marketing system in 2000 because of inadvertent commingling. This paper provides an overview of the economics of testing grain for biotech content. What are the risks facing buyers and sellers, and how are these influenced by testing protocols? How do market premiums and discounts, testing costs, and prior beliefs affect the incentives to test? A conceptual model is developed in which sellers choose whether to pre-test grain prior to shipment. Through simulation analysis, we illustrate the impact of market premiums and other variables on testing incentives and buyer risk.

The Economics of Testing for Biotech Grain: Application to StarLink Corn
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Johnson,   D. Demcey; Lin,   William W.
StarLink corn, a biotech variety not approved for human food use, disrupted the marketing system in 2000 because of inadvertent commingling.  Testing protocols have since been established for detection of StarLink in corn shipments to Japan.  Domestic food manufacturers, anxious to avoid risks of contamination and product recalls, also test for StarLink kernels.  This paper provides an overview of the economics of testing.  What are the risks facing buyers and sellers, and how are these influenced by different testing protocols?  How do market premiums and discounts, testing costs, and prior beliefs affect the incentives to test?  A conceptual model is developed in which sellers can choose whether to pre-test grain prior to shipment.  Simulation analysis...

STARLINK: IMPACTS ON THE U.S. CORN MARKET AND WORLD TRADE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lin,   William W.; Price,   Gregory K.; Allen,   Edward W.
StarLink disrupted the U.S. corn market during the marketing year of 2000/01 as a result of inadvertent commingling. The potential volume of marketed StarLink-commingled corn from the 2000 crop located in areas near wet and dry millers prior to October 1, 2000, is estimated at 124 million bushels. Price differentials between StarLink-free and StarLink-commingled corn existed during the early stage of the incident, but eroded quickly. While StarLink has had a negative impact on U.S. corn exports, most of the reduction in exports to Japan and South Korea during November 2000 and March 2002 is due to Japan's increased purchases from South Africa, China's decision to continue to subsidize exports, increased competition from the large back-to-back crops in...

Are Urban Consumers in China Ready to Accept Biotech Foods?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lin,   William W.; Somwaru,   Agapi; Tuan,   Francis C.; Huang,   Jikun; Bai,   Junfei.
Based on a large-scale survey conducted in 11 large and small eastern cities in 2002, this study employs ordered probit models to estimate the effects of demographic and socio-economic variables on the likelihood of biotech food acceptance in China. This study also employs a dichotomous choice model to estimate consumers' mean willingness to pay (WTP) for biotech foods, including soybean oil and insect-resistant biotech rice. This survey reaffirms that Chinese urban consumers had a low awareness of biotechnology. Despite the low level of awareness, a great majority of respondents had favorable or neutral attitudes toward biotech foods. Only 5-15 percent was strongly or relatively opposed to biotech foods. Results from the models suggest that mid- and...
