General and partial equilibrium analysis of the impact of the Central America Free Trade Agreement on the U.S. rice sector
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Durand-Morat,   Alvaro; Wailes,   Eric J.
The market conditions proposed by CAFTA are likely to positively impact the U.S. rice sector. Despite the differences in the impact of the agreement, both analytical approaches, namely, partial and general equilibrium modeling, yield results in the same direction. The small difference in the results from both approaches suggests low income and cross-sectoral effects between the U.S. rice sector and other segments of the economy. U.S. rice production is likely to expand to meet an increasing international demand for this commodity. The U.S. rice milling industry should also expect benefits from CAFTA, expanding by 1 percent in the general equilibrium model and up to 8 percent in the partial equilibrium framework.

Market Impacts of Adopting Herbicide-Resistant Rice in the Southern United States
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fuller,   Frank H.; Annou,   Mamane Malam; Wailes,   Eric J.
Herbicide-resistant (HR) rice varieties offer U.S. rice producers a powerful tool for control of red rice infestations.  However, improved weed control can shorten crop rotations and boost yields, resulting in expanded rice production and lower domestic market prices.  Declining market returns diminish the benefits of HR rice adoption and substantially reduce net returns for nonadopters.  More competitive prices increase U.S. rice exports, causing a slight decline in world rice prices.  The dependence of the rice marketing loan program on world prices prevents loan deficiency payments from adequately offsetting producers’ market revenue losses.  U.S. consumers gain from lower rice prices.

How Far Can Poultry Litter Go? A New Technology for Litter Transport
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Carreira,   Rita I.; Young,   Kenneth B.; Goodwin,   Harold L., Jr.; Wailes,   Eric J.
Exporting northwest Arkansas excess turkey and broiler litter to partially fertilize nutrient-deficient cropland in eastern Arkansas can be more cost effective than to supply all crop nutrients with chemical fertilizer only, given current high fertilizer prices.  Cost savings are greater if litter is baled in ultraviolet resistant plastic and transported via truck, since backhaul opportunities reduce truck rates, or alternatively, if raw litter is shipped via a truck-barge combination.  Rice is the crop that allows for greater savings according to a mathematical programming model implemented in General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS).

A Dynamic Decision Model of Technology Adoption under Uncertainty: Case of Herbicide-Resistant Rice
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Annou,   Mamane Malam; Wailes,   Eric J.; Thomsen,   Michael R.
Herbicide-resistant (HR) rice technology is a potential tool for control of red rice in commercial rice production.  Using an ex ante mathematical programming framework, this research presents an empirical analysis of HR rice technology adoption under uncertainty.  The analysis accounts for stochastic germination of red rice and sheath blight to model a profit maximization problem of crop rotation among HR rice, regular rice, and soybeans.  The results demonstrate that risk attitudes and technology efficiency determine adoption rates and optimal rotation patterns.

Analysis of Commodity Program Adjustments for U.S. Rice in Stochastic Framework
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chavez,   Eddie C.; Wailes,   Eric J.
Potential adjustments in U.S. commodity program for rice are evaluated in this paper using stochastic analysis in a global modeling framework. Corresponding threshold and loss-compensatory increases in target price and loan rates are determined with assumed outright and gradual elimination of direct payments. Results show that if direct payments (DP) are eliminated in 2012, a 23% increase in both the target price (TP) and loan rate (LR) triggers counter-cyclical payments (CCP) 80% of the time; and it will take an increase of 48% in TP and LR to generate CCP enough to compensate for the loss in total DP. If DP is gradually removed over 5 years, the trigger and compensatory increases in TP and LR are 41% and 46%, respectively. Furthermore, if DP is...

SPATIAL PRICING EFFICIENCY: THE CASE OF U.S. LONG GRAIN RICE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Djunaidi,   Harjanto; Young,   Kenneth B.; Wailes,   Eric J.; Hoffman,   Linwood A.; Childs,   Nathan W.
The spatial rice price relationships for U.S. long grain rough rice are affected by many factors besides the transportation cost between markets, such as milling, processing, cooking and nutritional value as well as physical characteristics.  This study applies a time series framework to analyze long run price relationships for Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and California long grain rice.  Johansen's test results showed that at least there are two cointegrating price vectors.  However, such a finding is not supported by the ECM model in any of the price series.

Prepared for Bioterrorism Events? A Study of the Grain and Oilseed Sector
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wailes,   Eric J.; Carreira,   Rita I.; Danforth,   Diana M.; Nemane,   Vivek.
One of the most crucial problems facing the U.S. economy is the possibility of a terrorist attack on its food sector.  The implications can be profound for its stakeholders, who are highly dependent on this sector for their economic livelihood as well as their food supplies. The U.S. Bioterrorism Act of 2002 was enacted to improve the ability of the United States to prevent, prepare for and respond to bioterrorism and other public health emergencies. One of the important features of the U.S. Bioterrorism Act of 2002 is its emphasis on prevention, a change from prior legislation that focused on punishments after an incidence had occurred. The U.S. Bioterrorism Act does not address food safety issues in general; its focus is to prevent intentional...

TARIFF ESCALATION: IMPACTS ON U.S. AND GLOBAL RICE TRADE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wailes,   Eric J.; Durand-Morat,   Alvaro; Hoffman,   Linwood A.; Childs,   Nathan W.
Tariff escalation is an important aspect of protection for domestic milling industries, particularly in Central America. The United States exports over 40 percent of its rice as paddy. This study uses a spatial equilibrium trade model to evaluate the impacts of tariff escalation on U.S. and global long grain paddy and milled rice trade.  Tariffs are harmonized for paddy and milled rice at two levels: milled tariff rates and zero.  The results indicate that tariff escalation distorts US rice trade in favor of paddy exports, reducing the demand for rice milling and associated value-added activities in the US.

Sensitive Product Treatment in Agricultural Trade Negotiations
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Durand-Morat,   Alvaro; Wailes,   Eric J.; Sharp,   Misti.
The fact that trade, and especially agricultural trade, remains far from free is puzzling, since the superiority of free trade receives overwhelming support among economists (Gawande and Krishna, 2003; Rodrik, 1994). International trade scholars have devoted significant resources to forecasting the impact of trade policy reforms (for a survey of these studies see Congressional Budget Office, 2005), and their findings are relevant inputs for officials negotiating a trade agreement as well as for politicians in charge of ratifying it. The perceived gains and losses attached to different outcomes have been identified as a significant factor shifting the outcome of a trade agreement negotiation (McMillan, 1990). Less well-known are the factors that would...

Rice Trade Policies and Their Implications for Food Security
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Durand-Morat,   Alvaro; Wailes,   Eric J.
There is a strong linkage between the behavior of the rice market and the state of food security in many regions around the world, particularly in Asia, as made evident in the 2007-08 commodity crisis. Rice is a staple for the majority of the population in Asia, where roughly 60% of the close to one billion undernourished people live (FAO, 2010). As Timmer (2010) states, “it is impossible to improve food security in the short run or long run without providing adequate supplies of rice that are accessible to the poor” (p. 2). The rice crisis of 2007-08 showed the crucial role of export and import policies on the behavior of the rice market and its consequences for price stability and food security. Market fundamentals could only explain a minimal part of...

Spatial price integration among five major Bangladesh rice markets is examined in the presence of threshold effects to account for the impact of transaction costs in the price adjustment process. Hansen and Seo (2002) threshold cointegration tests and threshold vector error correction models confirm the presence of threshold effects. Results highlight the importance of directing policy goals towards reducing transaction cost to engender greater pricing efficiency in Bangladesh rice markets.

U.S.-CHINA AGRICULTURAL TRADE: CONSTRAINTS AND POTENTIAL
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wailes,   Eric J.; Fang,   Cheng; Tuan,   Francis C.
China's agricultural trade expanded rapidly following economic reforms and the open-door policy adopted in the late 1970s.  The composition of agricultural trade with China follows its labor-abundant and land-scarce resource endowment with imports of bulk and processed intermediates and exports of consumer-ready and processed goods.  Constraints on U.S.-China agricultural trade include tariffs, state trading, food security policies, and other nontariff barriers.  Growth potential is based on China's fundamental demand forces including the world's largest population, a high real-income growth rate, an emerging urban middle class, and further trade reforms to be implemented through accession to the World Trade Organization.

DOUBLE-HURDLE MODEL WITH BIVARIATE NORMAL ERRORS: AN APPLICATION TO U.S. RICE DEMAND
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gao,   Xiaoming; Wailes,   Eric J.; Cramer,   Gail L.
Per capita rice consumption in the U.S. has doubled over the past decade. The effects of social and demographic variables on the household's rice consumption decisions are analyzed along with income and price variables. A double-hurdle model is used to solve simultaneously the consumer decisions whether to purchase rice and how much. The joint decision hypothesis is tested and accepted. The non-normal distribution of error terms may be responsible for possible bias in the empirical test of the joint decision hypothesis. The hyperbolic sine transformation is used to correct the problem in this study prior to testing the joint decision hypothesis.

Following a historical agreement on the EU enlargement, 10 new member states (NMS) acceded to the European Union on May 1, 2004. Although the European Union has expanded its membership in the past, this enlargement is unique in terms of its scope and diversity of the countries, area, and population involved. Thus, the effects of the EU enlargement on current and future member countries and on world commodity markets require careful consideration as the European Union is a major player in these markets. We analyze the effects of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform and enlargement on the EU-15, the NMS, and world agricultural markets. We compare three 10-year comprehensive agricultural outlook scenarios. In a "pre-enlargement" scenario, all...

The paper analyzes the impact of trade liberalization and changes in world prices of agricultural commodities in Bangladesh using single country CGE model. Since the agricultural sector is sensitive to overall employment, household welfare and food security, the analysis focuses on the changes in agricultural production, consumption, household income and welfare. The results show that trade liberalization increases the welfare of all household groups while world market price increases decrease welfare. It means that although trade liberalization generates a welfare increase for households but this is dependent on the relative level of world commodity prices. Our results are based on the analysis of aggregate household groups, so it may be of future...

2011 Updated Arkansas Global Rice Model
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wailes,   Eric J.; Chavez,   Eddie C.
The Arkansas Global Rice Model is based on a multi-country statistical simulation and econometric framework.  The model is disaggregated by five world regions: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.  Each region includes country models which have a supply sector, a demand sector, a trade, stocks and price linkage equations.  All equations used in this model are estimated using econometric procedures or identities.  Estimates are based upon a set of explanatory variables including exogenous macroeconomic factors such as income, population, inflation rate, technology development, and especially, government determined policy variables which reflect the various mechanisms by which countries intervene in their rice sector economy.  Individual country...

The supply response of U.S. rice: how decoupled are income payments?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Beckman,   Jayson F.; Wailes,   Eric J.
This study examines the decoupled nature of direct payments and counter-cyclical payments to determine if they have an impact on U.S. rice area harvested.  A naïve expectations model was specified, with the results indicating that direct payments are decoupled; however, counter-cyclical are not.  Overall, the results indicate that a change in the expected gross margin or counter-cyclical payments would stimulate a supply response in rice production.  The lack of a significant amount of time-series data renders results of this analysis as preliminary.

We analyze the effects of the 2004 CAP reform and EU enlargement on European and world agricultural markets. We compare the results from a CAP reform only and a CAP reform plus enlargement scenarios to a no-enlargement baseline implementing Agenda 2000 CAP policies. We utilize the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute's policy analysis model to simulate the effects of CAP reform and EU enlargement on production, consumption, and trade for the EU, its New Member States (NMS), and major players in world agricultural markets. The model is a partial-equilibrium model of world agricultural markets including important producer and consumer countries in world livestock and products, dairy, grains, oilseeds and products, cotton and sugar markets. Each...

Use of On-Farm Reservoirs in Rice Production: Results from the MARORA Model
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Popp,   Jennie S. Hughes; Wailes,   Eric J.; Young,   Kenneth B.; Smartt,   Jim; Intarapapong,   Walaiporn.
The present article uses the modified Arkansas off-stream reservoir analysis and the environmental policy-integrated climate models to examine the impacts of on-farm reservoirs and tail water recovery systems in conjunction with other best management practices on profitability, water use, and sediment control for rice-soybean farming operations.  Results suggest that, under limited water availability conditions, reservoirs and tail water recovery systems can improve profitability, reduce ground water dependence, and reduce the movement of sediment, nutrients, and pesticides off-farm.  Although reservoirs may not be profitable under plentiful water conditions, cost-sharing opportunities may make them a viable means of addressing environmental concerns.

HYBRID RICE AND ITS IMPACT ON FOOD SECURITY AND THE PATTERN OF GLOBAL PRODUCTION AND TRADE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Durand-Morat,   Alvaro; Wailes,   Eric J.; Chavez,   Eddie C.
The hybrid rice technology is one of the many ways in which productivity of scarce resources devoted to rice production could be enhanced, with the consequent alleviation of food insecurity. The findings of this study show that the hybrid rice technology has so far made some sizable contributions to per-capita availability of rice in adopting countries with marginal spillover effects to other regions. However, at forecasted population growths, a massive intensification of adoption would be needed to maintain per-capita availability of rice at baseline levels. But even with adoption rates climbing significantly, much higher equilibrium prices are expected, which will represent a challenge for the hungry in many parts of the world. While hybrid rice has the...

Autores: Alam,   Mohammad Jahangir; Begum,   Ismat Ara; Buysse,   Jeroen; McKenzie,   Andrew M.; Wailes,   Eric J.; Van Huylenbroeck,   Guido.
Market liberalization at the domestic level and at the boarder level has been a dominant feature of market reforms in most developing countries including Bangladesh during the last two decades. A pre-requisite for producers and consumers to benefit from this new and changing market environment is the ability of market to function efficiently at their spatial or through the value chain dimensions which are very often constrained by different factors. The vertical integration of grain markets plays a crucial role in improving the welfare of the producers and the consumers. Therefore, the better the market integration, the lesser the intervention required by the government. There was a widely-held belief about the domestic markets in Bangladesh on possible...

IMPLICATIONS OF RICE BIOTECHNOLOGY ON OPTIMAL RICE CROP ROTATION IN THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER DELTA REGION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Annou,   Mamane Malam; Thomsen,   Michael R.; Hansen,   James M.; Wailes,   Eric J.; Cramer,   Gail L.
Availability of new herbicide-resistant biotech rice varieties may affect traditional rice rotation practices to control red rice and enhance yields.  This research evaluates the adoption of biotech rice and its effects on the current practice of crop rotation in the Mississippi River Delta region.  The optimal utilization of biotech rice rotation is analyzed using a nonlinear mathematical programming model with mixed integers.  Optimal rotation was found to be sensitive to the technology fee, relative prices received by farmers, the effectiveness of red rice control, and a sheath blight penalty on yield for continuous rice production.
