| It is hypothesized that the U.S. Export Enhancement Program (EEP) has had a role in increased U.S. imports of Canadian wheat. Using a set of world wheat models that differentiate wheat according to class and source, several conclusions concerning the role of EEP are reached. Over the period 1986-1993, EEP has been accountable for 40 to 48 percent of the yearly growth in U.S. imports of Canadian wheat. EEP subsidies in 1991/92 to China and Brazil caused significant diversion of Canadian wheat that would have been destined for those markets instead to the U.S. market. Further, it is argued that a quota on imports is not likely to have price-enhancing effects for U.S. wheat. |

| This research analyzes the criteria set from which policymakers have selected import markets to target EEP wheat bonuses. Results presented herein indicate that the administration of EEP has favored no specific criterion -- rather, the emphasis placed on various criteria has fluctuated over time. Although putting pressure on the EU was a much repeated justification for the program, expanding U.s. wheat exports and pressuring the Canadians guided targeting allocations as much as, if not more than, pressuring the EU. This research also develops a method for predicting which wheat import markets are likely to be important in the future, based on an identification of specific policy objectives. |
