A Comparative Marketing Analysis of Major Agricultural Products in the United States and Argentina
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lence,   Sergio H.
Interest is high in Argentina as an emerging economic power in the Americas. This paper analyzes issues pertinent to the relative advantages and disadvantages between the United States and Argentina for producing, transporting, processing, and marketing major agricultural commodities in the context of distribution to significant global markets. Designed as a tool for agribusiness students and prospective investment and trade partners, it provides a side-by-side analysis of major U.S. and Argentine agricultural commodities. All facts and figures are in U.S. currency and common U.S. (avoirdupois) weights and measures. Also from a comparative perspective, it defines the differences in technologies between the countries and examines in detail the marketing...

The Impact of NAFTA on Agricultural Commodity Trade: A Partial Equilibrium Analysis.
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Naanwaab,   Cephas B.; Yeboah,   Osei-Agyeman.
This paper examines the effects of the North American Free Trade Agreement on agricultural commodity trade using extensive data.  The data cover agricultural exports and imports between the U.S. and NAFTA partners over the extended period of 1989-2010.  The commodities covered in our analyses include; corn, soy bean, cotton, wheat, fresh vegetables, poultry, dairy products, and red meats.  Since the signing of the agreement, U.S. total agricultural commodity trade with NAFTA members has increased three-fold from $18 billion in 1994 to $61 billion in 2010.  A partial equilibrium model, in which we derive each trading partner's excess demand and excess supply, is used to study the impact of NAFTA on trade, controlling for other trade-inducing variables such...

Industry Speaks Reflections on the Irrational
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gobbee,   Jose E.
This article analyzes the various components of the current financial crisis and its implications for agriculture. While financial markets have been overrun by steep losses, violent price movements, and irrationality associated with a classic bubble, agricultural markets still have sound fundamentals and their underlying real assets may prove to be a safe haven during these trying times.

How far do shocks move across borders? Examining volatility transmission in major agricultural futures markets
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hernandez,   Manuel A.; Ibarra,   Raul; Trupkin,   Danilo R.
This paper examines the dynamics of volatility across major global exchanges for corn, wheat, and soybeans in the United States, Europe, and Asia. We follow a multivariate GARCH approach and account for the potential bias that may arise when considering exchanges with different closing times. The results indicate that agricultural markets are highly interrelated and there are both own- and cross-volatility spillovers and dependence among most of the exchanges. Chicago particularly plays a major role in terms of spillover effects over other markets. Additionally, the level of interdependence between exchanges has only increased in recent years for some commodities.

Expected Changes in China's Grain and Oilseed Industries and Implications for the U.S. and World Agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Taylor,   Richard D.; Koo,   Won W.
A spatial optimization model was developed to analyze the impacts of structural changes in China’s consumption of wheat, corn, rice, and soybeans on its agricultural sector and world agricultural trade. The model included 16 exporting and importing countries and regions. China was divided into 31 provinces and the United States into 24 producing regions and 10 consuming regions. The model optimizes agricultural production and distribution systems to meet the predicted demand for grains and oilseeds in 2020 under several assumptions associated with technical progress in producing the grains and oilseeds in China, the United States, and other countries.

Impact of Trade Liberalization and World Price Changes in Bangladesh: A Computable General Equilibrium Analysis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Alam,   Mohammad Jahangir; Buysse,   Jeroen; Begum,   Ismat Ara; Nolte,   Stephan; Wailes,   Eric J.; Van Huylenbroeck,   Guido.
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...

Which factors drive which volatility in the grain sector?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ott,   Herve.
The present paper attempts to find empirical evidence on volatility in the grain sector (wheat, corn and soybean). The first challenge is to measure volatility. Intra-year volatility, inter-year volatility in level and return, also conditional volatility are defined and then calculated. The second challenge is to determine which factors impact volatility. The results show that depending on how volatility is measured, factors driving volatility are very different regarding their quantitative importance. Low stock to use ratio drives up mostly intra-year volatility but only moderately inter-year volatility and has almost no impact on conditional volatility. In contrast, a well functioning international market (trade flows without restriction) lowers...

The Effects of the Internet on U.S. Bilateral Trade in Agricultural and Horticultural Commodities
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wheatley,   W. Parker; Roe,   Terry L.
This paper discusses some of the reasons why the Internet might have a positive effect on the international trade in agricultural and horticultural commodities between the United States and its partners.  It provides some simple econometric tests which differentiate the export and import effects of Internet infrastructure and cost.  It also shows that the effect may be dependent on product heterogeneity/perishability.  Given the growth of the Internet over the past decade, coming to terms and measuring these effects is important to both producers and policymakers in considering the competitive impacts of this new technology.

Provedor de dados: 36
Autores: COSTA,Olívia Bueno da; MATRICARDI,Eraldo Aparecido Trondoli; PEDLOWSKI,Marcos Antonio; COCHRANE,Mark Alan; FERNANDES,Luiz Cláudio.
ABSTRACT Although soybean production has been increasing in the state of Rondônia in the last decade, soybean planted area has been estimated indirectly using secondary datasets, which has limited understanding of its spatiotemporal distribution patterns. This study aimed to map and analyze spatial patterns of soybean expansion in Rondônia. We developed a classification technique based on Spectral Mixture Analysis (SMA) derived from Landsat imagery and Decision Tree Classification to detect and map soybean plantations in 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2014. The soybean classification map showed 93% global accuracy, 23% omission and 0% of commission errors for soybean crop fields. The greatest increases of soybean cropped area in the state of Rondônia were observed...
