| There has been much analysis of the potential impact of China's membership of the WTO on world trade in agricultural products but few studies of the actual effects thus far on China's trade performance. This paper compares changes in the competitiveness of China's trade in primary agricultural food and processed food products over the period 1998 to 2003 through a range of comparative advantage measures, the preferred being Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage. It also decomposes changes in China's export market share of these products over the period into structural and performance components and identifies where shifts in the global regional distribution of its exports have contributed to changes in its overall market share. |

| What is the activating force that organizes economic affairs? The social side of human nature means that competition alone is not sufficient because competition is the expression of human individuality. Cooperation, which gives expression to human sociality, is the other one. Reality provides many examples indicating that people are more cooperative than is assumed in the standard self-interest model. In the last twenty years the academic view has changed about whether we should compete or cooperate for the higher competitiveness. In the eighties they supported the opinion that the competition is the only way to achieve success in business. Later on the argument started on competition vs. cooperation, and they realized that in some situation the... |

| This paper examines the competitiveness of cereal production in selected EU member states, during the period 1996 2000. Profitability was selected as a measure of competitive performance and costs of production, value of output and partial productivity indicators were examined as possible sources (potential) of competitive performance. Using data from the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) the analysis showed that productivity levels in the UK, Ireland and France were consistently higher then competing countries Denmark, Germany and Italy. In terms of profitability, the opportunity cost of owned resources had a major impact on the competitiveness of cereal production within the EU. Cash costs as a percentage of total output were lowest in Italy but in... |

| In the last few years the Italian flower and ornamental plant sector has been characterized by a significant dynamicity, becoming one of the most important sectors of the Italian agricultural system. In terms of competitiveness, however, the above sector has faced several market crises due to the globalization process which has produced has brought about an increasing supply of flower and ornamentals in the world market. In a national context, Mezzogiorno is an important area in terms of production source for flowers and ornamental plants, in relation to both extremely favorable climatic conditions and specific economic situations which positively affect profitability of firms operating in some productive sub-sectors (e.g., the ornamental plant sector).... |

| This study analyzes the competitiveness of countries exporting fruit juices into Japan through market structure analysis (MSA) within the context of the theory of consumer demand using the relative price version of the Rotterdam model and the block-wise dependent uniform substitute Rotterdam model. The models were estimated for six different types of fruit juices (orange, grapefruit, other citrus, apple, pineapple and grape juices imported from 18 countries) on monthly per capita data over the period December, 1995, to May, 2005, using the non-linear least squares (LSQ) in the Time Series Processor (TSP) program. Results indicate that the market structure underlying the competition for the Japanese fruit juice market is non-uniformly competitive, and most... |

| Észak-Magyarország három megyéje közül Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén megyé-ben a legjelentősebb a magánszállásadás szerepe, a vendéglátók 50,5%-a találha-tó itt, Hevesben 41,6%-a, miközben Nógrád megyében 7,9%-a. Észak-Magyarország magánszállás férőhelyeinek eloszlása a 2005-ös adatokat vizsgálva területileg meglehetősen egyenlőtlen. A magánszálláshelyeken belül a 2005-ös adatok alapján a falusi szállásadás szálláshelyei 58%-ot tesznek ki, mellyel a régió eltér az országos megoszlástól. A legtöbb mutató vonatkozásában megállapítottuk, hogy a régió megyéinek falusi szállásadással, illetve magánszállásadással rendelkező települései társadalmi-gazdasági fejlettsége, illetve folyamatai sok tekintetben kedvezőtlenebbek az ilyen szállásadással rendelkező települések... |

| The examination of competitiveness – thanks to its many definitions and the applied research methods – is a complex task, and this is especially true in the case of agricultural products. The competitiveness of Hungarian agricultural product has to this day been examined by several foreign and Hungarian experts and the results of their examinations have been made public. At the same time very little special literature deals with the different explanations and interpretations of the concept of competitiveness, and the analysis of the suitability of the measurement methods. In my essay I attempt to show the locatable definitions of competitiveness, and to show without aiming for completeness, the measurement methods which are deemed acceptable in special... |

| Current policy discussions are making a very clear connection between domestic climate policies and international trade. In this article, the economic, legal and implementation issues relating to border tax adjustments for climate policies are discussed. The overall conclusion drawn is that the connection between trade and the environment is not new, having been discussed in considerable detail since the early 1990s, and reflected in an extensive economics literature. In addition, the legal aspects of border tax adjustments are not particularly new, although only a WTO ruling on their use in the presence of domestic climate policies will resolve any legal uncertainty about their use. However, there are some new issues concerning the determination and... |

| The rice chain in the Portuguesa state is of great significance for Venezuela because half of the country's production comes from that state. Activities' integration that goes from production to consumption have some specificities which, in rice producing countries, the most important are those linked to the production and transformation of raw materials. On top, political and economic instability induce to take unwise macroeconomic decisions that affect the monetary system and balance of the country causing clear negative impacts on the rice chain. Several countries from the CAN (Colombia) and MERCOSUR (Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay) have been selected either as exporters or importers and consequently as potential competitors on the international markets... |

| Nesses últimos anos, o Brasil tornou-se o maior fornecedor de carne bovina para o mundo. A modernização do parque industrial de abate e o custo baixo da produção fazem com que o país se consolide como o “Frigorífico do Mundo”.Ao mesmo tempo, o eixo da produção pecuária no Brasil vem sofrendo alterações nos últimos anos. Enquanto, em São Paulo o rebanho decresceu, em Mato Grosso do Sul e Mato Grosso aumentou de 2003 para 2005. Uma das causas para o deslocamento da produção é a diminuição da competitividade da pecuária em relação a outras culturas. Os custos da pecuária aumentam mais que a receita, e, os índices produtivos da fazenda não melhoram o suficiente. De acordo com os resultados desta pesquisa, em São Paulo, as empresas pecuárias não obtêm a margem... |

| Improvements in competitiveness can be achieved through policy initiatives, but the success of these policies will depend upon the way that firms and consumers respond. This paper establishes the conditions under which a policy change can lead to an improvement in the competitiveness of a Canadian firm. There are two firms (Canadian, U.S.) each with two brands and each making sales in two markets (Canada, U.S.) and two consumers, one in Canada and one in the U.S. Equilibrium is shown to depend on inverse compensated demand function coefficients, the conjectured best response coefficients for each firm and marginal cost functions for each firm. An improvement in competitiveness from an investment in public infrastructure in Canada is shown to depend upon... |
