ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am very much grateful for the invaluable assistance, guidance and cooperation I received from my committee chair, Dr. Richard L. Kilmer. His motivation and perseverance kept me going when I had almost succumbed to complete frustration as I had to move to Delaware first and then to Maryland with my family just after my course work. Indeed, it is difficult to continue such a venture when someone is not on the spot. Moreover, I had to wait for complete dataset for the intended study period until January of 2007. The patience and flexibility he awarded to me with moral and financial support in the development of this dissertation were greatly appreciated. His knowledge and experience have been very beneficial to me over the years. I remain ever thankful for the time and trouble he took to meticulously review my work with helpful comments. I am also grateful to the members of my committee for their mentoring and support -both technical and theoretical. Dr. Ronald W. Ward helped me in manipulating data through mathematical programming that made the job easier and faster for me. Without his assistance, it would take much of my time and energy to get the data in working format. He also provided insights regarding the performance of the models used for my study and suggested some improvement to explain any kind of structural change that is not included directly in the model. I appreciate his enthusiasm for work which is very refreshing. Dr. Mark G. Brown offered considerable support in selecting the model for my study. He helped me look at some alternative models to check whether they fit better on the given data sets. Finally, my discussions with Dr. Thomas H. Spreen and Dr. Lawrence W. Kenny helped me shape this research within the realm of reality/practicality. A number of other individuals contributed directly or indirectly through their helpful comments and appreciation. I would like to recognize Dr. Ronald Jansen, United Nations, 4

Statistics Division and Gary Lucier, United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service for their input and clarifications on different aspects of the data used in this research. I thank Carlos E. Jauregui (a doctoral candidate and friend in the same department) for helping me out whenever I got stuck with the computer programming of my model and Carol Fountain for her assistance in formatting my dissertation. I also thank the staff and members at the department as well as at the UF Library for their overall assistance. Now I would like to acknowledge some Bangladeshi friends and families for their contributions. My friends Dr. Abu M. Khan (Sayem) and Dr. Murshed M. Chowdhury supported me with accommodations (during their stay at the University of Florida (UF)) whenever I came to Gainesville for a short time to work on my dissertation. After that, I started getting board and lodging with transportation from our family friends Dr. Khandker A. Muttalib and Dr. Jaha A. Hamida (husband and wife and both working in the Physics department) until I am thoroughly done with my dissertation. I would like to express my extreme gratitude to them. I would also like to thank all my Bangladeshi Sunday volleyball partners and their families for their support and encouragement. I would like to express my endless thanks and gratitude to my family members and other relatives and well-wishers for their love, support and encouragement throughout my lifelong educational endeavors. It is my wife who encouraged and supported me both emotionally and financially to make this milestone possible. I thankfully appreciate her and my two sons Sakib and Adib for their patience, understanding, and moral support through all these years of studies. Finally, I would like to express my appreciation to the International Agricultural Trade and Policy Center (IATPC) at the University of Florida and its Director Dr. John J. VanSickle for partially funding this research project.

Abstract of Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of the University of Florida in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy ESTIMATING IMPORT DEMAND FOR FRESH TOMATOES INTO THE UNITED STATES AND THE EUROPEAN UNION By Mohammad Ali August 2007 Chair: Richard L. Kilmer Major: Food and Resource Economics Continuous talks and negotiations initiated by the World Trade Organization (WTO), in recent years, on globalization and trade liberalization have made international trade a key issue for all nations as it has expanded the global markets with enhanced competitiveness. There exist both opportunities and costs as it expands exports on one hand and poses threats of competition from importers on the other. Agriculture being the major player in international trade has to cope with this changing trend of the global market situation. The European Union (EU-15) being more and more open should be of especial interest to the growers, traders and policy makers of all nations including the United States (U.S.). This is a research project for the analysis of import demand for fresh tomatoes into the U.S. and the EU-15 for the assessment and evaluation of competitiveness to enable the specialty crop industry to compete successfully. The sources of data for this research are the United Nations Statistics Division- Commodity Trade Statistics Database website, Food and Agriculture Organization Statistics Database website and other websites maintained by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Data for the period 1963-2005 have been used in this research. A differential production approach has been used for estimating import demand for fresh tomatoes. Imports are considered as inputs to importing firms. The mode used in this research is 10

derived from the basic principle of the theory of firm whereby the firm maximizes profit by determining a level of output and minimizing the cost of producing that level of output. The cost minimization stage is applied to get conditional factor demand equations in the estimation process. The differential production version of the Netherlands National Bureau of Research (NBR) specification is estimated by the iterative seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) method using the well known least square procedure (LSQ) in Time Series Processor (TSP). Results show that Mexico is the prominent supplier of fresh tomatoes in the U.S. import market facing no close competitor. Canada and EU-15 compete with each other for the U.S. import market whereby Canada is losing its relative share and EU-15 is gaining its relative share. For the EU-15 import demand for fresh tomatoes, Morocco is the major supplier with no close competitor. Israel and Rest of the World (ROW) are competing with each other in the EU-15 import market. Albania, Bulgaria and ROW are losing their relative share in the EU-15 import market with an indication of some kind of structural changes. Mexico and Morocco have significant influence and control over the U.S. and the EU-15 import markets. It is necessary for other participants to figure out the secrets and follow them to be competitive with these major players in their respective markets. Otherwise, the implications would be significant on both markets if there are some diseases or calamities in Mexico and Morocco.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Globalization, in a modern world, has emerged as a blessing for both developed and developing countries. With globalization comes trade liberalization that reduces barriers to international trade. According to the World Trade Organization (WTO), elimination of trade barriers can result in annual welfare gains for the world ranging from US $250 billion to US $620 billion. Trade liberalization can also help alleviate poverty by contributing to a more efficient resource allocation and raising productivity. Thus, free trade can contribute to higher wages and standard of living. So, it can be said that trade liberalization and poverty reduction/income growth go hand in hand (WTO, 2002). In the field of agriculture, increased globalization has both potential benefits and costs for the United States (U.S.). In some cases, there will be opportunities to expand U.S. exports and in others, there will be a threat of facing competition from importers with lower prices. The overall effects on the U.S. may further be complicated by high income elasticities of demand. For example, many of the specialty crops may have relatively higher income elasticities of demand in the U.S. than other field crops. Hence, income growth will definitely have a positive effect on the U.S. demand for those specialty crops; however, this may or may not neutralize the impact of increased competition as well as the effect of potentially lower prices. Thus, the globalization of markets along with the emphasis on international trade has increased interest on the competitiveness of the U.S. in global markets (Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS), 2002). U.S. farm cash receipts are valued at more than $241 billion and Florida is the tenth leading state in this respect with $6.84 billion in farm cash receipts as of 2004. Florida is also the fifth leading state in crop production with $5.36 billion in cash receipts (National Agricultural

12

Statistics Service (NASS), 2006). Agriculture accounts for more than 314,000 jobs in the state of Florida (IFAS, 2002). The U.S. is also one of the world’s leading importers and exporters of fruits, vegetables and nuts. The specialty crops are very important for Florida. The three leading specialty crops in terms of value are greenhouse/nursery at $1.63 billion, oranges at $980 million and tomatoes at $501 million (NASS, 2006). The specialty crops are important for feeding the nation as well as the world. So, it is very important to look at the future of this industry both domestically and globally The International Agricultural Trade and Policy Center (IATPC) at the University of Florida (UF) is entrusted with the responsibility to focus on research and education that will help the industry understand the implications of trade and policy related issues. The Center has been established to help growers, industry leaders and policy makers in understanding various impacts of all these issues on the future of the industry (IATPC website). The proposed project looks at the import demand for fresh tomatoes into the U.S and the European Union (EU). Problematic Situation The World Trade Organization (WTO), in recent times, is continuously initiating talks on agricultural trade aimed at trade liberalization. Consequently, the globalization of markets places enhanced emphasis on international trade and competitiveness among suppliers. It has become a necessary venture for the producers/processors to gain a larger share of world agricultural exports. The specialty crop sector also needs to keep pace with this trend of potentiality. One way of doing so is to provide firms with the necessary information on global markets. Therefore, demand studies for individual countries are needed for the specialty crop sector in order to enable the sector to strategically plan to expand exports. Thus, the analysis of import demand for tomatoes into the most potential markets like the EU is necessary for the U.S. specialty crop

13

industry for the assessment and evaluation of competitiveness that will enable the industry to compete successfully in an increasingly growing domestic and global markets. Problem Statement What is the state of competition among the suppliers for imported tomatoes into the United States and the European Union? Objectives The broad objective of this research is to estimate import demand for tomatoes into the United States and the European Union and utilize estimated parameters in order to measure the sensitivity of demand for tomatoes to changes in own price, prices of substitutes and quantity of imports, and thereby look at competitiveness among suppliers. The specific objectives include 1) To look at international trade in tomatoes imported into the United States and the European Union. 2) To review different demand models including import demand models. 3) To develop a model to estimate import demands for fresh tomatoes into the United States and the European Union. 4) To determine the extent of competition among the suppliers of fresh tomato imports into the United States and the European Union. 5) To look at if there is any structural influence on the import demand for fresh tomatoes. Chapter Summary Data on fresh tomato imports for this study have been obtained from the United Nations’ database. A differential production version of the Netherlands National Bureau of Research (NBR) model has been used in estimating import demands. In Chapter 2 a background for this study has been provided. Chapter 3 discusses a detailed literature review that is helpful for the study. Then the theoretical and empirical models are discussed in Chapter 4 that also includes the

14

data section in detail. Chapter 5 provides a discussion on empirical results. The concluding Chapter 6 includes observations, summary, conclusions, and implications and recommendations.

CHAPTER 2 BACKGROUND U.S. Tomatoes The United States is one of the world’s largest producers of tomatoes. It is second in rank, just behind China (Economic and Research Services (ERS)-United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) website). Imports of tomatoes have also risen significantly since 1994. The industry has been growing rapidly over last few decades. In terms of U.S. farm cash receipts, the U.S. fresh and processed tomatoes are second only to potatoes among all vegetables in value. Tomatoes accounted for $2.06 billion in farm cash receipts in 2004 (NASS, 2006), which is 12 percent of all vegetable and melon receipts. In terms of 2002 harvested acreage of tomatoes, the five top states are California, Florida, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan (ERS-USDA, 2003). However, the leading producers of fresh market tomatoes were Florida (39 percent), California (31 percent), Ohio (7 percent), Virginia (4 percent), and North Carolina (2.4 percent) in 2002. On the other hand, the top processing tomato producing states were California (95.4 percent), Indiana (1.7 percent), Ohio (1.7 percent), Michigan (0.7 percent), and Pensylvania (0.2 percent). The average annual per capita consumption of fresh and processed tomatoes rose by 18 percent during the 1990’s compared to the 1980’s, amounting to 91 pounds on a fresh-weight basis in 1999, with processed tomatoes accounting for about 80 percent (ERS-USDA, 2003). The total domestic utilization of fresh market tomatoes in 2002 was 5.2 billion pounds (18.4 pounds per person) while that of processed tomatoes totaled to 19.9 billion pounds (69.2 pounds per person). The fresh market data provided above excludes domestic greenhouse or hydroponic tomatoes that might add one more pound to fresh per capita consumption if included. Mexico and Canada are the major suppliers of fresh market tomatoes to the U.S. while Canada is the leading export market for U.S. fresh and processed tomatoes (ERS-USDA website).

16

With respect to tomato exports and imports, about 7 percent of the U.S. fresh market tomato supply is exported. The top U.S. export markets in 2001 were Canada (78.6 percent), Mexico (13.9 percent), Belgium (4.09 percent), Japan (1.38 percent), and France (0.67 percent) (U.S. Trade Statistics website). For processed tomatoes, about 5 percent of the tomato product supply was exported during the 1990’s. The top U.S. export markets for processed tomatoes in 2001 were Canada (48.61 percent), Mexico (11.47 percent), Japan (8.88 percent), United Kingdom (4.67 percent) and South Korea (4 percent) (U.S. Trade Statistics website). Now, as for imported tomatoes, it is important to observe that more fresh tomatoes are imported than processed tomatoes. In 2000, fresh tomato imports accounted for about 32 percent of domestic consumption, which is down from 36 percent in 1998, but more than 19 percent in 1990 (ERS-USDA website). The U.S. normally imports most fresh tomatoes during the period when domestic supply is low, i.e., late fall to early spring. In 2001, Mexico supplied 82.47 percent of the value of fresh tomato imports followed by Canada (12.8 percent), the Netherlands (3.55 percent) and Israel (0.45 percent) (U.S. Trade Statistics website). As a net importer, the United States imported 36% of total fresh tomato consumption and exported about 9% of total domestic production in 2002 (ERS-USDA, 2003). In the case of processed tomatoes, imports accounted for 4 percent of domestic consumption during the 1990’s, which is down from 7 percent in the 1980’s (ERS-USDA website). In 2001, Canada accounted for 40 percent of the imported processed tomatoes followed by Italy (27.16 percent), Mexico (14.91 percent), Dominican Republic (5.32 percent), China (3.84), and Israel (2.75 percent) (ERS-USDA website). The importance of the U.S. tomato industry will be clear from the tables at the end of this chapter. Table 2-1 shows the U.S. tomato production including Florida’s share compared with the world’s total production. Florida

17

production is mainly for the fresh market and it constitutes around 40% of U.S. fresh tomatoes. Table 2-2 shows the U.S. exports and imports of tomatoes compared with the world exports and imports. For the period 1991-2005, U.S. exports varied from 148,297 to 188,173 metric tons whereas imports varied from 360,770 to 951,785 metric tons. EU Tomatoes The Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) of 1962 has laid the foundation for creating the European Union (EU) through which Europe has taken a strong protective stance of its agricultural markets. This is especially true for products like dairy, fresh fruits and vegetables including tomatoes that are vulnerable to foreign competition as a result of domestic prices that are higher than the world price levels. In fact, European consumers pay almost twice the competitive world price for most of its agricultural products (Adams and Kilmer, 2003). In other words, European producers receive almost twice the world price for many agricultural products due to domestic farm programs. Thus, agricultural subsidies accounted for almost half of the EU’s total budget in 2000 (US $40 billion on agriculture) (ERS-USDA website). The domestic policies for citrus and tomatoes include export refunds, product withdrawals from the market, intervention thresholds, and direct producer aids. Recent EU General Agreement on Trade and Tariff (GATT) and later the World Trade Organization (WTO) membership has forced some changes to CAP, resulting in less domestic support for European agricultural markets. Consequently, the EU, once called “Fortress Europe” is now becoming more and more accessible to the world agricultural producers including the U.S. producers (Adams and Kilmer, 2003). For example, the EU is now the third largest regional export market for US agricultural products with imports of $6.4 billion in 2001 (Adams and Kilmer, 2003). The EU was a net exporter to the U.S. with a surplus of Eur 2.63 billion in 2001 while the U.S. was a net importer from the EU with a deficit of Eur 5.65 billion. The values for 18

2000 were Eur 2.63 billion and Eur 5.51 billion respectively with an exchange rate of Eur 1= US $1.12 (European Communities (EC) (2202)). Although the level of EU support for agriculture is decreasing, it is still relatively high compared to the U.S. and rest of the world. However, the recent changes have signaled a clear trend away from market-distorting actions and toward direct payments to producers. In general, the intention of the EU is to enhance European agricultural competitiveness by setting product intervention as “a real safety net measure, allowing EU producers to respond to market signals while protecting them from extreme price fluctuations,” and promoting market oriented, sustainable agriculture by finishing the transition from product support to producer support, introducing a “decoupled system of payments per farm” which are supposedly not connected to production (Adams and Kilmer, 2003). In fact, the EU wishes to allow flexibility in production, but at the same time it also wants to guarantee income stability to producers. During the last 10 years, the EU has reduced price supports but increased direct payments to tomato, dairy and citrus producers in order to compensate them for such reductions (Adams and Kilmer, 2003). After the successful negotiation of the 1993 Uruguay Round of GATT, the EU has been progressing towards liberalization of agricultural markets including citrus, tomatoes and dairy, moving from market-distorting support to less market-distorting regulation. Consistent with this market liberalization trend in Europe, the EU has made major changes to common market organization for tomatoes in 2000 that were less market distorting. So, there exists more market flexibility after 2000, a lesser amount of product can be removed from the market and supports for the export of tomatoes have also declined (Adams and Kilmer, 2003). As of 1998, the EU imports 4 percent of world tomato production and exports 7 percent of world tomato production. In fact, very little of the world’s fresh tomato production is exported fresh. The leading tomato

19

producers for processing in 1999/2000 were the U.S. (11.6 million tons vs. 8.5 million tons in 1998/99), the EU (9.1 million tons vs. 8.0 million tons) and Turkey (1.8 million tons vs. 1.7 million tons) (Adams and Kilmer, 2003). Therefore, the importance of the EU cannot be ignored in terms of production, consumption and trade of tomatoes. The members of the EU-15 are Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden. The export and import position of the EU in tomato trade can be visualized from Table 2-3 and Table 2-4. The tables show that U.S. fresh tomato export and import trade with the EU is important even though there are some up and down swings from year to year. They also depict that EU’s role in world’s export and import trade in tomatoes as well as production is quite significant (Table 2-5, Table 2-6 and Table 2-7). As the World Trade Organization (WTO) is constantly debating on agricultural trade with a vision towards trade liberalization and/or globalization of markets, emphasis on international trade and competitiveness among suppliers has become a striking issue in order to ensure a larger share of world agricultural exports. The specialty crop sector like tomatoes also needs to keep pace with this potential trend. Therefore, the study of import demand for tomatoes into the most potential markets like the EU is very much necessary and justified for the U.S. specialty crop industry in order to compete successfully through the assessment and evaluation of competitiveness in an increasingly growing domestic and global markets. Data The data on imports of fresh tomatoes have been used for 43 years i.e., for the period 19632005. The source of data is mainly the United Nations (U.N.) Statistics Division-Commodity Trade Statistics Database (UN-COMTRADE) website. The International Agricultural Trade and Policy Center (IATPC) at the University of Florida has made arrangements for data availability. 20

Other sources of data are online websites maintained by the USDA and the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Statistics (UN-FAOSTAT) website. The required data are collected and manipulated to fit in the model to be used for this research. The data are in both volumes and values from which price/cost data can easily be calculated by dividing the value of imports by the volume of imports.

CHAPTER 3 LITERATURE REVIEW In order to formulate a model to analyze the import demands for tomatoes into the European Union (EU) and the United States (U.S.), it is necessary to look at the literature on import demand estimation. The theory of demand has occupied a vast area in the field of economics covering consumer theory as well as the theory of the firm. Globalization of markets has increased the emphasis on international trade and on the competitiveness among exporters. So, import demand analysis is a vital point in determining the competitiveness in international trade. Armington Trade Model International trade flows are classified on three characteristics such as the kind of merchandise, the country (region) of origin or the seller, and the country (region) of demand or the buyer. The assumption frequently used in theories of demand is that merchandise of one kind supplied by one country is a perfect substitute for merchandise of the same kind supplied by any other country indicating infinite elasticities of substitution and constant price ratios. But, in reality there are lags in buyers’ responses as well as some other imperfections in their behaviors that should not be overlooked. So, it is preferable to recognize that any feasible world model of demand would find few, if any, merchandise with perfect substitutability. Bearing this in mind, Armington (1969) has presented a general theory of demand for products not only distinguished by kinds, but also distinguished by place of production. In his paper, a distinction has been made between goods and products in the sense that goods are distinguished only by their kinds whereas products are distinguished both by their kinds and place of production. Products are differentiated from the buyers’ viewpoint according to the area of the suppliers’ residence and they are assumed to be imperfect substitutes in demand. If there are 5 goods and 20 supply

26

regions, then the number of products distinguished will be 100. The geographic area not only serves as a basis for distinguishing products by origin, but also as a basis for identifying sources of demand. Now the problem in Armington’s (1969) model is to simplify the product demand functions systematically for practical use in estimation and forecasting. Beginning with the general Hicksian model, imposition of a sequence of more restrictive assumptions leads to a highly simplified specification of the product demand function that reveals the relationships between demand, income and prices. The basic modification to the Hicksian model is the assumption of independence, meaning that the buyers’ preferences for any given kind of product are independent of their purchases of any other kind of product. With this assumption of independence, it is possible, in principle, to measure the quantity of each good demanded by each country. There are demands for different groups of competing products and each of these demands can be considered to be a market and suppliers from different countries could be expected to compete in that market. Thus, the demand for a particular product can be expressed as a function of the size of the market for that product and the relative prices of competing products. Another assumption in Armington’s (1969) analysis is that the market share of each country is unaffected by changes in the size of the market as long as the relative prices remain unchanged. This additional assumption implies that the size of the market is a function of money income and the prices of different goods. Combining this with the earlier product demand function, the demand for any product can be expressed as a function of money income, the price of each good, and the price of that product relative to all other products in the same market. So, the approach used in his study assumes that (a) elasticities of substitution between competing

27

products in any market are constant irrespective of market shares, and (b) elasticity of substitution between any two products competing in a particular market is the same as the elasticity of substitution between any two other products competing in the same market. Hence, a specific type of relationship between the demand for a product, the size of the corresponding market and the relative prices has been suggested by these assumptions. The price parameter in this relation is the elasticity of substitution in that market. Analysis of changes in demand for any product is possible by differentiating the demand functions. The change in demand for any product will depend on the growth of the market and on the change in the product’s market share in that market collectively. The change in market share of a particular product will depend on the change in its price relative to the average change in prices of all other products in that market. The change in growth of the market depends on the change in income and income elasticity of demand for the respective good. Thus, this study emphasizes on the relevancy of demand theory to the research in some areas of trade analysis as well as forecasting. Differential Approach and the Rotterdam Models Seale et al. (1992) showed a Rotterdam application to international trade with a differential approach. A Rotterdam import allocation model is used to estimate a geographic import demand system for U.S. fresh apples in four importing markets –Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore and United Kingdom. The differential approach is widely used in estimating consumer demand systems, but in case of estimating import demand, it is used less frequently. Three of such studies are Theil and Clements (1987), Clements and Theil (1978) and Lee, Seale and Jierwiriyapant (1990). Theil and Clements (1978) estimated derived import demands for four aggregate import groups using the differential approach in production theory. Clements and Theil (1978) used the same approach and estimated import demands for 13 individual as well as four groups of countries for three broad categories such as food, raw materials and manufactures with the 28

assumption of homothetic technology. Following Barnett (1979), Lee, Seale and Jierwiriyapant (1990) used the differential approach in utility maximization in order to estimate Japanese import demands for five kinds of fresh fruits and the geographic import demands for citrus juice. In all of the above studies, the Rotterdam model has been used for estimation purpose. The study by Seale et al. (1992) estimated geographic import demands using the Rotterdam model. They treated each of the importing countries as an individual consumer, following Mountain (1988) who showed that the Rotterdam model like other popular flexible functional models is at least a second-order approximation of the underlying demand system. In this study, multistage budgeting has been utilized where an importing country first allocates total income (expenditures) between domestic and imported goods. Then, the total expenditure on imports is allocated among various imported goods and finally, depending on the expenditure for an import, it is allocated among different suppliers of each good. This is a method like the utility tree approach (Barten 1977) and can easily accommodate the differential approach to the utility maximization and is useful for estimating demands for disaggregated imports. Preferences for imports are based on block-wise dependence that enables estimation of geographic import demand subsystems independent of the import demands for all other goods. The conditional import demand system is derived through the differential approach and then parameterized as per a Rotterdam specification. The Rotterdam parameterization is attractive in this case, because it permits nested testing for restrictions on homogeneity, symmetry, homotheticity and separability (preferences being additive). The Seale’s (1992) study calculated expenditure and price elasticities from estimated parameters using both the Rotterdam absolute price model (Rotterdam A.P.) and the Rotterdam preference independence model (Rotterdam P.I.). The elasticities thus calculated, measure the

29

impacts on import shares among fresh apple suppliers as expenditures on total apple imports change and as the prices of imported apples from various geographic locations change. They also used Working’s (1943) model for calculating income elasticities of demand for fresh imported apples as a group and by sources of supply. Lee et al. (1994) have discussed the choice of model in consumer behavior analysis in Taiwan. Numerous specifications of a demand system in consumer demand analysis have evolved through time. These include linear and quadratic expenditure systems, translog models, the Working model, the Rotterdam model and the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS). Among all of them, two systems have become popular in agricultural economics, the Rotterdam model and the AIDS. However, the underlying assumptions for these two systems have different implications. The marginal expenditure shares and the Slutsky terms are taken to be constants in the Rotterdam model whereas they are considered to be functions of budget shares in AIDS. In order to choose an appropriate demand system, statistical tests are conducted when the underlying competing systems are nested (Amemiya, p.142). On the other hand, when the systems are not nested, an alternative testing procedure is needed. Deaton (1978) conducted a non-nested testing procedure in order to compare competing demand systems with the same dependent variables that are not applicable in comparing Rotterdam and AIDS, as the dependent variables are different. However, Barten (1993) explained that the Rotterdam and the AIDS are special cases of a more general demand system and also nested within that system. So, he suggested pair-wise and higher-order testing procedures to choose the best fitted system. Thus, the Lee et al. (1994) looked into how prices and income influenced Taiwanese consumer demand for the period 1970-89 and how the elasticities of demand evolved through time. They examined four different versions of the demand system indicated by Barten (1993) such as the

30

Rotterdam, a differential version of the AIDS, the Dutch Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) system and the Netherlands National Bureau of Research (NBR) system. Then, a general model nesting all these four systems has been developed in order to facilitate choosing the best fitted one. The differential approach has been used by many other researchers. Rossi (1984) has made use of this approach in the theory of multiproduct firm in order to analyze input demand and output supply in Italian agriculture. In case of multiproduct and multifactor production structure, the firm’s technology is usually described by a production, cost or profit function. The approximation process may be in variable space comprising prices, quantities, or price-quantity ratio like in the case of classical translog specification. On the other hand, it may be in parameter space as in the case of so-called differential approach. Since the technology of a firm is basically unknown, the differential approach has an advantage in the sense that it does not specify any particular form, but can accommodate different technologies not being bias to any particular form. In this study, he actually followed Laitinen and Theil (1978, 1980) in estimating the parameters of aggregate multiproduct technologies using differential approach. He extended the works of Laitinen and Theil in case of short-run with fixed factors of production and then considered the dynamic adjustments along with the variables to model the role of weather in agriculture. Laitinen and Theil (1978) considered the demand and supply of the multiproduct firm without the usual specializing assumptions of input-output separability or constant elasticities of substitution or scale. They estimated a system of input demand equations under the condition of cost minimization and a system of output supply equations under the condition of profit

31

maximization. The prices are described in terms of substitution and complementary relation among inputs and among outputs in the demand and supply equations. Demand System and Functional Formulation Barten (1977) has reviewed the work done on the formulation and estimation of complete systems of consumer demand functions and delineated the related problems and issues that are of both theoretical and empirical in nature. From the theoretical consideration, constraints are imposed on such systems to deal with empirical problems like lack of sufficient data. There are various alternative approaches to deal with the issue and it is yet to make a clear-cut choice. Continuous research is going on concerning the problems of specifying and estimating such systems. The present review emphasizes the nature of the approach, its possibilities and limitations. It is basically an empirical approach since it aims at the formulation of the system that is to be estimated using actual data. Barten (1993) also discussed the choice of functional form in consumer allocation models, which are based on microeconomic theory of consumer demand. Allocation models are concerned with optimal allocation of given means for different alternatives, or as its dual, the minimal use of these means to achieve a given set of objectives. These models are formulated not only for consumer demand analysis, but also for demand for inputs in production, and composition of imports by origin of supply. Four basic approaches to arrive at demand equations, satisfying required properties, have been described. The first one is from a functionally specified, increasing and quasi-concave utility function like u = u(q1, …….qn) that is maximized subject to a budget constraint Σi piqi = m. Then the first order conditions are solved to get quantities as a function of prices and income. The parameters of the utility function become the constants of the demand equations. An example of this approach is the linear expenditure system (L.E.S.) that

32

can be seen in Deaton (1975). The second approach starts from a functionally specified indirect utility function like u* = u * (m, p1 , ......, p n ) and using Roy’s identity rule, one can obtain an estimable demand equation such as

⎛ ∂u * ∂u * ⎞ ⎟⎟ . qi = − (m / pi )⎜⎜ / ⎝ ∂ ln pi ∂ ln m ⎠

(3-1)

Example of this approach can be stated as the Indirect Translog Utility Function used by Christensen et al. (1975). Barten’s (1993) third approach is based on a specified expenditure function expressed in terms of utility and prices like e = e(u, p1 , ......., p n ) . Now, applying Shephard’s lemma (i.e., wi = ∂ ln e ∂ ln p j ) provides Hicksian demand as

qi = hi (u, p1 , ........, p n )

(3-2)

from where u can be eliminated by using an expenditure function in order to express it in terms of m and p. A good example of this type of specification is the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) by Deaton and Muellbauer (1980). The fourth approach is related with some kind of double-logarithmic specification. Many earlier empirical demand studies used a doublelogarithmic specification with constant elasticities and they seem to work well empirically, but are not sufficiently adequate to explain theoretical restrictions. For example, the constant elasticity restriction requires a constant budget share. So, researchers working with a doublelogarithmic system started imposing theoretical restrictions on the estimation process in order to make it statistically efficient. Theil (1965) started such a double-logarithmic specification. Production Approach and Utility Approach Davis and Jensen (1994) discussed the supremacy of the production theory approach over the utility approach in import demand estimation. They pointed out the drawbacks of the two-

33

stage utility maximization approach that has been widely applied in estimating agricultural commodity import demand systems and elasticities, suggesting an alternative two-stage profit maximization approach that can overcome those limitations, but still retains the advantages. Since the nature of most imported commodities are inputs in the production process, the use of a utility-based demand system in estimating import demands will have conceptual as well as empirical disadvantages. The conceptual disadvantage of the two-stage utility maximization approach arises from the fact that most imported agricultural commodities are inputs, and not final goods entering consumers’ utility function. This conceptual misspecification of an import demand system has other empirical disadvantages. First, it is believed by most agricultural economists that aggregation under utility-based import demand models (i.e., defining the firststage utility aggregates) is a difficult job to form a consensus. In most utility-based models, the procedure is to pick a commodity and assume that it is weakly separable from all other goods that should have been included in the utility function for logical consistency. Thus, this unique condition of separability is not actually an intuitive one and the choice of first-stage aggregates becomes confusing and debatable. Secondly, since most of the models are a conditional demand system, the estimated elasticities are also conditional elasticities. The problem with these conditional elasticities is that they do not explain all of the price effects captured by the unconditional elasticities and hence, the use of conditional elasticities may lead to biased and erroneous inferences and policy recommendations. Thirdly, the unconditional elasticities obtained from such a misapplied utility-based import demand system are not structural estimates, rather they are reduced form estimates and the regressors used are incorrect. Under the above circumstances, Davis and Jensen (1994) prescribed an appealing alternative conceptual approach that satisfies the criterion such as (a) defining the first-stage

34

aggregates and thereby the estimation of unconditional elasticities easily and more intuitively, (b) making structural parameter estimation (derived demand) possible, and (c) retaining the advantages of two-stage utility maximization procedure. This approach is to model the import demand estimation in a two-stage, multiproduct, profit maximization framework under production theory. As soon as the producer theory is applied, the conceptual problem of treating imports as separate final goods is overcome and as a result, the parameters estimated thereon will be structural. Again, as a two-stage method, it will also retain all the advantages of the two-stage utility maximization procedure. Moreover, specifying the first-stage aggregates is more intuitive in a producer theory model of profit maximization than in a consumer theory model of utility maximization. Hence, the estimation of unconditional elasticities becomes less questionable and/or debatable. The presentation, being the integrated efforts of various authors (Blackorby, Primont, Russell (BPR) (1978); Bliss (1975); Chambers (1988); Fuss (1977); Lau (1972) and Yuhn (1991)), has been given in the following ways. First Stage In Davis and Jensen (1994) the transformation function of the multiproduct industry is assumed to be well behaved, intertemporally separable, and homothetically separable in input partition In and can be represented by F (q1,……,qm, X1,……., Xn) = 0. Here, q and X are outputs and aggregate inputs respectively. The aggregate input Xi is defined as Xi = Xi ( xi1,……,xin ), and i = 1,….,.n where, the xij’s are disaggregate inputs. Assuming perfect competition to prevail, profit maximization may occur in two stages that will be consistent with single-stage optimization (Bliss, chapter 7, property 3). The first-stage for a profit maximization problem solves the objective function ∏( p, W ) = max [ pq ' − WX ' : F (q, X ) ∈ T ] q, x

35

(3-3)

where, p and q are 1 × m vectors of output prices and quantities respectively, X and W are 1 × n vectors of aggregated input quantities and price indices respectively. Wi is defined as a linearly homogeneous aggregator function in the form of Wi = Wi ( wi1…….win ) and it is dual to the Xi. The wij is the factor price corresponding to a disaggregated input xij and T represents the technology set of the industry. From the above aggregate profit function ϑ( p,W), the output supplies and input demands can be derived by applying Hotelling’s (1932) lemma, which will be ∂∏ = ql = ql ( p, W ), ∂p l



∂∏ = X i = X i ( p, W ), ∂Wi

l = 1,…….., m,

(3-4)

i = 1,……….n

(3-5)

which are homogeneous of degree zero in p and W according to Euler’s theorem. Second Stage Following Davis and Jensen (1994) as the transformation function is assumed to be homothetically separable in the In partition, the sufficient conditions for two-stage optimization are satisfied (Blackorby et al., 1978) and the conditional demands are derivable from Hotelling’s (1932) lemma by differentiating the aggregate profit function with respect to the disaggregated input price wij.



∂∏ = xij , ∂ wij

i = 1,……..,n; and j = 1,…….., Ji.

(3-6)

In duality theory, there are two equivalent explanations for an optimal level of xij because, theoretically the second stage of the two-stage profit maximization problem can be expressed in two equivalent ways. Even though these two forms are the same as those of the two-stage utility maximization approach, their solutions to the second stage problem differ empirically. One of

36

the two forms is to minimize the cost of acquiring a predetermined level of aggregated input such as

⎡ Ji ⎤ Ci (wi , X i ) = min ⎢∑ wij xij : X i = X i ( xi1 , .......xin )⎥, i = 1,…..…,n xij ⎣ j =1 ⎦

(3-7)

which can be solved for xhij = xij(wi, Xi). Here, Ci(wi, Xi) is the cost function, wi is the vector of prices, xhij is the Hicksian conditional input demand function since it is conditional on predetermined aggregate input level (Xi) from the first stage. The Hicksian input demand function is homogeneous of degree zero in wi by Euler’s theorem. Following duality theory, the alternative form of the above minimization problem will be Ji ⎡ ⎤ X i (wi , C i ) = max ⎢ X i = X i xi1 ,....., xiJ i : C i = ∑ wij xij ⎥, i = 1,…, n j =1 xij ⎣ ⎦

(

)

(3-8)

giving a solution for xmij = xij(wi, Ci). The Xi(wi,Ci) part of the Equation 3-8 represents the indirect production function which can be considered as analogous to indirect utility function of the utility maximization problem. By Euler’s theorem the solution, xmij = xij(wi, Ci) is homogeneous of degree zero in wi and Ci and this is the conditional Marshallian input demand function that is conditional on the predetermined expenditure level Ci. So, solving Equation 3-7 and (3-8) we can get Hicksian demand and Marshallian demand respectively and they will be equivalent at the optimal point according to Chambers (1982) and Davis and Kruse (1993). Therefore, it is possible to calculate the conditional and unconditional elasticies and their relationship by applying the two-stage profit maximization approach to import demand analysis. Import Demand and the Producer Theory Burgess (1974a) explained the theory of import demand in a general equilibrium model. The traditional general equilibrium model of international trade treated imports as final goods with a perfect domestic substitute. So, the elasticity of demand for imports depends on domestic 37

supply and demand responses influenced by society’s preferences, and the transformation function indicating factor endowment and technology. But, this theoretical framework normally collapses when estimation of the elasticity of import demand is sought. In fact, some favorable functional forms have been chosen for facilitating estimation of the parameters of interest. Hence, the logarithm of the quantity of imports is considered as a linear function of the logarithm of income and the logarithm of the ratio of import price to a price index of all domestic goods. Thus, the parameters are to measure the income elasticity and price elasticity of imports. But, without imposing an arbitrary separability restriction on the consumer’s choice between domestic and imported goods, it is not possible to derive this estimating equation just from an explicit model of rational behavior. In Burgess (1974a), few attempts have subsequently been taken to develop a theory of import demand from the microeconomic standpoint whereby restrictions have been imposed on the underlying analytical structure. These restrictions need to be empirically justified rather than assumed a priori. So, imports are regarded as final goods entering into the consumers’ utility function directly with no perfect domestic substitute. One such framework is developed by Gregory (1971) and it assumes that a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) functional form can represent society’s preferences. Thus, the logarithm of the ratio of imports to domestic goods is a linear function of the logarithm of the ratio of their prices. This model has an advantage in the sense that the estimating equation gives an estimate of the elasticity of substitution between imports and domestic goods and the estimate of own price elasticity can readily be obtained from there. But, its major disadvantages are (1) the maintained hypothesis of separability between imports and all domestic goods indicating that the partial elasticities of substitution between imports and all other domestic goods are equal, and (2) ignorance of the fact that international

38

trade occurs in bulk as intermediary goods requiring further processing before reaching consumers. So, Burgess (1974a) developed a model of import demand without having these two major difficulties. Moreover, he explicitly incorporates the theory of import demand into a general equilibrium framework. The primary concern in this area has been to look at the responsiveness of import demand to changes in price and income in a partial equilibrium framework for predicting balance of payment consequences. But, in this general equilibrium framework of import demand , the balance of payments adjustment process prevails and the primary concern becomes the effect of changes in import prices, due to tariff policy, on the returns to primary factors as well as on income distribution. He agrees that most of the imported goods require further processing before delivery as a final product. The processing may be of complete transformation, or it may simply involve storing, handling, transportation, distribution and other marketing activities. These processing activities require domestic capital and labor. So, it is a policy question to address how tariff policy changes the domestic price of imports and how this will affect the competitive returns to the primary factors and also the distribution of income. An assumption of this production theory model is that imports are purchased by firms trying to minimize the cost of delivering a single product to the final consumer. Since a multifactor generalization of the Cobb-Douglas and CES functional forms are not flexible enough for analyzing issues in this respect, the transcendental logarithmic functional form developed by Christensen, Jorgenson and Lau (1973) has been used. It permits the Allen-Uzawa partial elasticities of substitution between factors to differ and it does not impose any arbitrary separability restrictions a priori. Thus, it enables the researcher to test the hypothesis about the effects of tariff policy on real income and distribution of income.

39

Following a cost minimization approach, Burgess (1974b) estimated import demand equations with a three-input, and two-output technology model. Imports are taken as an additional input along with the primary inputs of labor and capital, and a joint cost function is assumed to express technology. Now the producing unit combines labor and capital with the imported materials in order to minimize the cost of production of a specified bundle of consumption goods and investment goods. Technology, therefore, consists of two outputs, two primary inputs and imported materials. The transcendental logarithmic joint cost function used in this analysis is competent enough to test the maintained hypotheses of most of the previous studies. The partial derivative of the joint cost function with respect to the price of an input gives the cost minimizing level of that input demanded. This logarithmic derivation with respect to factor prices will yield the cost shares. In the same way, the partial derivative of the joint cost function with respect to output gives the marginal cost of the respective output and under the condition of a perfectly competitive situation, the marginal costs equal output prices. So, the logarithmic derivation with respect to output will provide an expression for revenue share. Burgess (1974b) assumed a maintained hypothesis of constant returns to scale technology and estimated the cost function using cost share and revenue share equations derived from the logarithmic derivation of the joint cost function. It found convincing results against the traditionally maintained hypothesis that technology is separable between inputs and outputs. Changes in output composition significantly influence the optimum input mix at any given set of factor prices. Therefore, the optimum level of input mix depends not only on factor prices, but also on the composition of final demands. According to the study results, changes in composition of output in favor of consumption goods will increase the demand for labor, but decrease the demands for capital and imports. The study also rejected the traditionally maintained hypothesis

40

of separability between inputs and outputs since it has been found that when labor and capital, and also labor and imports are substitutes, capital and imports are complements. This indicates that any measure that reduces the price of capital will enhance the demands for imports that will eventually have adverse effects on the country’s balance of payments. Diewert and Morrison (1989) used a producer theory approach to generate export supply and import demand functions. The approach uses an economy-wide gross national product (GNP) function or a restricted profit function with exports as outputs and imports as inputs. This kind of approach in modeling trade functions using a production theory framework was introduced by Kohli (1978). Unlike the traditional approach, imports are considered to be intermediate inputs into the producing sector on one hand, and exports are regarded as nondomestic outputs produced by the nation’s private production sector. This approach has an advantage over the traditional approach in the sense that one can model only the private production sector of the economy, ignoring the complexities of modeling the consumer sector. Duality theory can be applied in order to derive the producer supply and demand functions conveniently based on the consistency with profit maximizing behavior. Diewert and Morrison’s (1989) model of producer behavior is based on the short run competitive profit maximization motive, holding capital as fixed. Producers take the wage rate as fixed and can hire as much labor as required at the going wage rate. So, the profit maximizing firms, operating under conditions of perfect competition, actually face the domestic and international price vectors and a vector of domestic primary factor stock, and they in fact, make the domestic as well as foreign demand and supply decisions. The technology is represented by a production possibility set from which a well-defined profit function or restricted profit function can be obtained. Since the translog restricted profit function implemented by Kohli (1978)

41

frequently fails to maintain theoretical curvature conditions, a special case of the Biquadratic Restricted Profit Function defined by Diewert and Wales (1987) has been used in this study. Kohli (1978) has modeled the substitution possibilities between Canadian imports, exports and domestic inputs or outputs with a similar approach followed by Burgess (1974a, 1974b) in regard to the treatment of imports. In the study, imports are considered to be inputs like labor and capital, and exports are considered to be an output of technology. Output consists of investment goods and consumption goods. The technology represented by a restricted profit function having labor and capital fixed in the short run, and prices of imports, exports, consumption goods and investment goods as exogenous, is somewhat similar to Samuelson’s (1953-4, 1958) GNP function. The import demand and export supply functions, along with the supply equations for consumption goods and investment goods and also the inverse demand functions of domestic factors are simultaneously derived from this GNP function. In the estimation process the symmetry and homogeneity restrictions are assumed to hold. The procedure can estimate import and export functions without assuming that outputs and domestic inputs can be aggregated, and at the same time it can focus on the substitution possibilities inherent in the production technology. Truett and Truett (1998) investigated the Korean demand for imports and the impacts of trade liberalization on domestic factor inputs using a translog cost function using a production theory approach. They also regarded imports as productive inputs. The advantage of looking at imports as factors of production is that the impact of changes in import prices (due to tariff and/or other trade restrictive policies) on domestic input demands, domestic output prices and on the quantity of imports demanded, can be observed for appropriate decision making. Of course, the impact will depend on whether the imports have a complementary relationship or substitute

42

relationship with domestic inputs. The model used by them assumes that aggregate output consists of two types of goods - consumption goods and investment goods whereas the inputs are classified into three types - labor, capital and imports. In the early studies where imports were treated as final goods, the demand for imports was taken to be a function of national income, the price of imports, and the price of domestic goods, with some exchange rate adjustments (Houthakker and Magee (1969) is an example). However, the idea of imports as a productive factor, as mentioned earlier, was subsequently adopted by Burgess (1974b, p.225). The importance of treating imports as a productive factor is that if they are a substitute for or have a complementary relationship with one or more domestic inputs, then trade policy may affect domestic factor income and its distribution. For example, when there is a substitute relationship between imports and domestic inputs, any reduction in import restriction will decrease the demand for domestic inputs in the short run. But, if they have a complementary relationship, the reduction in trade restriction will have positive impact on the demand for domestic inputs. In the Truett and Truett (1998) study, it is assumed that imports are combined with domestic inputs (labor and capital) by the producer having an objective of minimizing cost of producing a bundle of goods to be sold domestically or abroad. They used a translog cost function with its corresponding input share and revenue share equations and estimated the cross price elasticities of demand between different pairs of inputs and also the direct price elasticities of demand for them. The question of separability of outputs (i.e., consumption goods and investment goods) has been investigated to look at whether Korea’s demand for imports is affected by the composition of outputs or not.

43

Trutt and Truett (1998) followed the Zellner–efficient method (ZEF) (Zellner, 1962) in estimating the cost function, cost share and revenue share equations by iterating on the estimated covariance matrix until convergence is reached. It could be argued that both prices and quantities may be considered as endogenous and it is more appropriate to use an iterative three-stage least square method (I3SLS) with some instrumental variables. The procedure has a problem in selecting the instrument variable since there is no straightforward method of doing so and thus it becomes somewhat arbitrary. As a result, the estimates may be too sensitive to the instrumental variables chosen. This is the limitation of cost function approach. However, the results of this procedure are found to be similar to those of the maximum likelihood method in various studies. Truett and Truett (1998) focuses its attention on the hypothesis of input-output separability. This means that the marginal rate of transformation between various products is independent of the composition of inputs and the marginal rate of substitution between factor pairs is independent of the composition of outputs. So, a sufficient condition for this is that all the interacting terms are zero. It suggests that whenever there exists an input-output separability, changes in output mix will not affect the cost minimizing input mix. The study also gives estimates of different elasticities of interest such as direct and cross price elasticities of demand for inputs as well as the inverse price elasticities of output supply and the elasticity of input prices in response to output prices etc. The elasticities are expressed in estimated parameters and cost and revenue shares. Inverse Demand Analysis Huang (1988) has provided a framework for estimating a complete price dependent demand system i.e., an inverse demand system. An inverse demand system is one where prices are functions of quantities demanded and income. It is as important as the quantity dependent demand system. It explains price variations as functions of quantity variations and it has 44

analogous properties like the regular demand system. Agricultural economists (i.e., Fox, Houck, Waugh) have long before recognized that lags between production decision and commodities marketed may predetermine quantities with some price adjustments for market clearing. Therefore, quantities rather than prices are more appropriate instrumental or control variables for analysis of many types of agricultural policies and problems. An inverse demand system is also theoretically justified in the classical demand theory framework. It is indicated by Hicks (1956, p.83) that the Marshallian demand has two functions such as (1) it shows the amounts consumers will take at given prices, and (2) it shows the prices at which consumers will buy given quantities. Hence, the second function, “quantity into price” implies the inverse demand system. Applications of inverse demand systems are found in Huang (1983, 1988), Barten and Bettendorf (1989), and Moschini and Vissa (1992). From empirical standpoint, inverse demand and regular demand systems are not equivalent. In order to avoid statistical inconsistencies, the right-hand side variables in such systems should be ones not controlled by the decision maker. Usually, the consumer in most industrialized economies is a price taker and quantity adjuster for most goods and services purchased. In this case, a regular demand system is indicated. However, for certain other goods like fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh fish etc., supply is very inelastic in the short-run and the producers are eventually price takers. Price taking producers and price taking consumers are linked by a group of traders who select a price that is expected to clear the market. This means, for fixed quantities the wholesale traders practically offer prices that are low enough to induce consumers to buy the entire available quantities. Hence, the traders set prices as a function of quantities whereby causality goes from quantity to price. In such cases, inverse demand systems are indicated.

45

Huang (1988) develops an inverse demand system and applies it to estimate price flexibilities for thirteen U.S. aggregate food groups and one non-food sector for 1947 through 1983. The demand system is estimated using a constraint maximum likelihood method. The concept of distance function and its related substitution effect and scale flexibilities are used. The system explores the interdependent nature of food price variations in response to changes in quantity. The price flexibilities indicate the change in commodity price needed to induce consumers to absorb a marginal increase in the quantity of that commodity or others. The estimated scale flexibilities provide the response of a commodity price to a proportionate change in the quantity of all goods. They also give an important linkage between compensated and uncompensated flexibilities. In order to understand an inverse demand system, one may illustrate the price effects of a marginal change in quantities demanded considering Anderson’s (1980) suggestion that the “scale slope” of quantities demanded plays the same role as the income slope in ordinary demand system. Moschini and Vissa (1992) also presented an inverse demand system that can be estimated in a linear form. They explained how to derive an inverse demand system that resembles one of the most commonly used demand systems in applied demand analysis, i.e., the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) of Deaton and Muellbauer (1980) having its popularity for the availability of an approximate linear version. So, they named their system as the Linear Inverse Demand System (LIDS). In deriving an inverse demand system, one can start either from a direct utility function and exploit Wold’s identity yielding ordinary inverse demand system, or alternatively start from a distance (transformation) function and exploit Shephard’s theorem yielding compensated inverse demand system. They derived the system (LIDS) from a distance

46

function and showed that it has good approximation properties compared with inverse translog demand system (ITL) and nonlinear inverse demand system (NLIDS). Barten and Bettendorf (1989) used inverse demand system for price formulation of fish explaining why people pay for different types of fish the recorded prices. Gorman (1959) first established fish as a respectable, interesting and challenging subject in demand analysis. He started with the proposition that the price of fish depends in part on a function of its quantity consumed and income, and in part on the shadow prices of fundamental characteristics shared by all types of fish. Following Gorman, they related the price of each type of fish to its quantity demanded and to total real expenditure on fish. Their study refers to eight major types of fresh sea fish landed at Belgian fishery port. They assumed a weak separability of the total commodity bundle into these types of fish on one hand and other types on the other hand. So, only the quantities of these fish and their prices matter. They also assumed that collective consumer behavior for fresh sea fish could be interpreted as that of the rational representative consumer. Therefore, they expressed market demand by a system of Marshallian demand functions and deduced the inverse demand system. For the estimation purpose, they estimated a Rotterdam variant of inverse demand system. Differential Production Approach Washington and Kilmer (2002a, b) used a differential production approach to estimate import demand of whey with a comparison to Rotterdam model. The application of production theory to international trade is not a new concept. Previous studies using a production theory approach to international trade include Burgess (1974a) and (1974b), Kohli (1978) Diewert and Morrison (1989), and Truett and Truett (1998). Each of these studies recognized that most goods in international trade require further processing before final delivery to consumers. Even though a traded product is not physically altered, activities such as handling, storing, repackaging, 47

transportation, insurance, and retailing occur. Thus, a significant amount of domestic value is added when the final product reaches the consumer. Therefore, it seems more appropriate to view imported products as inputs rather than as final goods even if goods are not physically transformed. The production approach views imports as intermediary goods (inputs) and not as final goods entering the consumer’s utility function. Most of the imports arrive in a country in bulk and consumers rarely buy commodities in bulk or directly from exporting countries. Following the methodology of Laitinen and Theil (1978) and Theil (1980a, b), the model is derived from the differential approach to the theory of the firm where firms maximize profit in a two-stage procedure, i.e., in the first stage, determining the profit maximizing level of output to produce and in the second stage minimizing the cost of producing that profit maximizing level of output. According to Laitinen and Theil, and Davis and Jensen (1994), this procedure is consistent with a one-step or direct profit maximization procedure. The first stage provides the output supply equation and in the second stage, the conditional factor demand system is obtained. From the results of both stages, a system of unconditional derived demand equations is derived. The advantages of the production theory approach over the utility approach to import demand estimation have been discussed by Davis and Jensen (1994), Kohli (1991) and Washington and Kilmer (2002a, b). The striking points are the facts that (a) most imported agricultural commodities are inputs and not final goods, (b) specifying the first stage aggregates is more intuitive when using the production theory approach, (c) it is easier and more intuitive to estimate unconditional elasticities using production theory, (d) the estimated parameters using production theory will be structural parameters, and (e) viewing imports as intermediate goods not only has its merits in correctness, but it also leads to substantial simplifications theoretically.

48

For example, the demand for imports can be derived from production theory and there is no need to model final demand and as such it can avoid the difficulties that arise when we aggregate over individual consumers. Washington and Kilmer (2002a, b) articulated the system of equations for estimating such import demand in the following manner. In fact, the objective of a competitive firm in the first stage is to identify the profit-maximizing level of output by equating marginal cost with marginal revenue. This procedure yields the differential output supply equation N

d (log Q * ) = ϕ d (log p * ) + ∑ π j d (log w j )

(3-9)

j =1

where Q*, p* and wj represent the output, output price and the price of inputs respectively; ϕ and

π are the price elasticity of supply and the elasticity of supply with respect to input prices respectively. N is the total number of inputs used in production. In the second stage, the firm minimizes its input costs/expenditure. Here, the differential factor demand model is derived that will be used to estimate the system of source specific derived demand equations. This is specified as (Washington and Kilmer (2002a,b)) n

f i d (log x i ) = θ i* d (log X ) + ∑ π ij* d (log w j )

(3-10)

j =1

where f i is the factor share of imported good x from source country i in total input cost; xi and wi represent the quantity and price of inputs which include the price of each imported good from n

source country i; d (log X ) = ∑ f it d (log x t ) where d (log X ) is the Divisia volume input i =1

index; θ *i is the mean share of the ith input in the marginal cost of the firm; π *ij is the conditional

49

price coefficient between the ith and jth importing sources or inputs; n is the number of inputs in the system, n ∈ N. It is important to mention that the differential factor demand model is required to meet the following parameter restrictions in order for the model to conform to theoretical considerations:

∑π

* ij

= 0 (homogeneity), and

j

π ij* = π *ji (symmetry). The second stage procedure results in the conditional own price/cross price elasticity d (log x i ) π ij = = , d (log w j ) f i *

c ε xw

(3-11)

and the conditional Divisia volume input elasticity,

ε xX =

d (log xi ) θ i* = . d (log X ) f i

(3-12)

Using the relationship between the Divisia volume input index and output,

d (log X ) = γ d (log Q * ) , Equation 3-9 can be substituted into Equation 3-10 to yield the unconditional derived demand system (Washington and Kilmer (2002a,b)) n

j =1

f i d (log xi ) = θ i*γ [ϕ d (log p * ) + ∑ π j d (log w j )] + ∑ π ij* d (log w j ) .

(3-13)

Now, dividing through Equation 3-13 by f i and using Equations 3-11 and 3-12, one can get the unconditional derived demand elasticities, the elasticity of input demand with respect to output price

ε xp =

d (log x i ) d (log p * )

(3-14)

and the unconditional own price/cross price elasticity of input demand

50

ε xw =

d (log x i ) c = γ ε xX π j + ε xw . d (log w j )

(3-15)

Lastly, the unconditional elasticity of derived demand with respect to the price of an input contained in N but not in n can be found as

ε xw =

d (log xi ) = γ ε xX π j . d (log w j )

(3-16)

Summary of Literature Review

It has been seen that Consumer Demand system deals with the allocation of a given total budget over a set of commodities taking into account the effects of price variation. This is used as a tool by the demand analyst to describe and predict empirical consumer behavior. The demand system is derived from the theory of utility maximization. The differential approach to consumer theory as proposed by Barten (1964) and Theil (1965) is an approximation of these demand equations. Regarding the functional specification, four alternative approaches have been derived, with well-known demand systems as an illustration. These are the Barten (1964) and Theil's (1965) the Rotterdam model, Deaton and Muellbauer's (1980) the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) model, Keller and Van Driel’s (1985) the Dutch Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) model, and Neves’s (1994) AIDS income-variant the Netherlands National Bureau of Research (NBR) model. Consumer demand allocation models have widely been used in import demand studies by various researchers such as Lee, Seale, and Jierwiriyapant (1990), Seale, Sparks, and Buxton (1992), Lee, Brown, and Seale (1992), and Satyanarayana, Wilson, and Johnson (1999) and many more. In these studies, imports are considered to be final goods entering directly into the consumer’s utility function. Even though Satyanarayana, Wilson, and Johnson (1999) use a consumer demand theory model, they recognize that production theory could be used to estimate

51

the derived demand for malt; however, critical data was not available. As the nature of international trade is such that traded goods are either used in production processes or go through a number of domestic channels before reaching the consumer, the production processes and domestic channels generate some value added to the product by the time it reaches the final consumer. Therefore, it is more appropriate to view imported goods as inputs even if no transformation takes place (Kohli, 1978; Diewert & Morrison, 1989, and Truett and Truett, 1998). The other advantage of using an input demand model in import demand studies is related to how traded goods are typically reported. Most traded commodities are typically reported in bulk quantities and values at dockside. In fact, consumers almost never purchase commodities in such quantities or at the port/dockside. So, with the assumption that importing decisions are made by a profit-maximizing or cost-minimizing firm is more consistent with the way how trade data is typically reported (Washington and Kilmer, 2002a, b). This study intends to use Laitinen (1980) and Theil’s (1980a, b) differential input demand model along with three other input demand models which are the firm’s version of the AIDS, CBS and NBR on the consumer side. Of course, the ultimate choice of model specification has to be made depending on empirical grounds.

CHAPTER 4 THEORETICAL AND EMPIRICAL MODEL In this study, a production theory approach has been followed in estimating import demand for tomatoes into the United States and the European Union. Liu, Kilmer and Lee (2007) have a similar study on import demand with an emphasis on choice of appropriate functional forms. The procedure and models used by them have been followed in this study. This study uses Laitinen (1980) and Theil’s (1980 a, b) differential input demand model (Rotterdam) along with three additional input demand models which are the firm’s version of the AIDS, CBS and NBR on the consumer side. The choice of appropriate model amongst different specifications for the input demand allocation models ultimately depends on empirical grounds. This study examines the empirical performance of four similar input demand allocation models in an econometric analysis of the import market for tomatoes into the U.S. and the EU. The synthetic model developed by Barten (1993) has been used to compare the empirical results of these four models. In case of EU import market analysis the Synthetic model itself has been tried as a fifth model. Hence, the theoretical models for this study comprise the differential input demand model and the firm’s version of the AIDS model, CBS model, NBR model and Barten’s (1993) synthetic model. Theoretical Models

Differential Input Demand Model The differential input demand model (Laitinen (1980); Theil, (1980 a, b)) is based on the firm’s version of the fundamental matrix equation of consumer demand. The approach begins with the traditional production optimization problem of choosing a bundle of inputs that will Min C = ∑ pi x i

(4-1)

Subject to z = h(x )

where, C is total cost; pi and xi are the price and quantity for the i th input; z is output which is held constant; and x is a vector of n input quantities. The first order conditions are solved for the input demand equations xi = xi ( p1..... pn , z ) . The derivation of the differential input demand model (Laitinen (1980); Theil (1980 a, b)) is an approximation of this set of input demand equations resulting in the differential input demand system as represented by

f i d ln xi = θ i d ln X − ∑ π ij d ln p j

(4-2)

j

where f i = pi xi / C is the share of total cost from input i ; d ln xi is the change in the i th input;

θ i = ∂ ( pi xi / ∂z ) /(∂C / ∂z ) is ith input’s share in marginal cost, d ln X = ∑ f i d ln xi is the Divisia i

volume index; and π ij is the Slutsky coefficient. Equation 4-2 is the i th differential demand th

equation of the firm and it indicates that changes in the decision to purchase the i input depend upon the changes in the total amount of inputs obtained and changes in input prices. Given the data with sufficient variability in input prices and quantities, variables can be constructed for f i d ln xi , d ln X and d ln p j and the coefficients for θ i and π ij can be estimated.

The restrictions on the above input demand Equation 4-2 are adding-up:

The Production AIDS model Unlike the consumer AIDS model having expenditure as a function of utility and prices for a consumer as in Deaton and Muellbauer (1980), the production AIDS model has cost specified as a function of output and prices of inputs for a firm as (Liu, Kilmer and Lee(2007))

ln c(p, z ) = (1 − z ) ln a (p ) + z ln b(p ) where ln a(p ) = a 0 + ∑ a j ln p j + j

(4-8)

1 ∑∑ γ ij* ln pi ln p j 2 i j

β

and ln b(p ) = ln a(p ) + β 0 Π p j j ; j

c is the total cost, p is a vector of n input prices , and z is output that is held constant. When

there is no production, z = 0 and Equation 4-8 becomes ln c(p, z ) = ln a (p )

(4-9)

which is the firm’s fixed cost. The consumer AIDS model in differential form (Barten, 1993) can be written as follows to represent the production AIDS model (Liu, Kilmer and Lee (2007)) df i = β i d ln X + ∑ γ ij d ln p j .

(4-10)

j

This model is similar to the differential input demand model (Equation 4-2) on the right-hand side; however, the dependent variables are different on the left-hand side. The production AIDS

55

model explains the change in input i’s share (marginal share) of total cost, while the differential input demand model concerns with the change in input quantity. Following Lee, Brown, and Seale's (1994) version of the consumer AIDS model, the production AIDS model can be formulated as (Liu, Kilmer and Lee (2007)) f i d ln xi = ( β i + f i )d ln X − ∑ (γ ij − f i Δ ij + f i f j ) d ln p j

(4-11)

j

where Δ ij is Kronecher's delta equal to unity if i = j and zero otherwise. It can be noticed that the AIDS model (Equation 4-11) and the differential input demand (Equation 4-2) have the same dependent variable. Hence, this will allow the use of Barten's (1993) synthetic model to empirically test for the appropriate functional form. The restrictions on the production AIDS model are adding-up:

Also, the curvature condition is ( x ′π x) ≥ 0 where the π matrix is composed of the elements

The Production CBS Model Keller and van Driel (1985) developed the Dutch Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) consumer demand model based on Working’s Engel model. The production CBS model in differential form is written as (Liu, Kilmer and Lee (2007)) f i (d ln xi − d ln X ) = β i d ln X − ∑ π ij d ln p j .

(4-17)

j

Following Lee, Brown, and Seale's (1994) version of the consumer CBS model and rearranging Equation 4-17, the production CBS model can be formulated as (Liu, Kilmer and Lee (2007)) f i d ln xi = ( β i + f i )d ln X − ∑ π ij d ln p j

(4-18)

j

which is another representation of the production CBS model and with this formulation, Barten's (1993) synthetic model can be used to empirically test for the appropriate functional form. This model has the production AIDS model’s volume coefficients β i (Equation 4-11) and the differential input demand model’s price coefficients π ij (Equation 4-2). It shares the adding-up, homogeneity and symmetry conditions with these two models. The constraints on the production CBS model are adding-up:

The Production NBR Model Neves (1994) developed the consumer NBR as a consumer allocation model. On the producer side, the production NBR model written in differential form is (Liu, Kilmer and Lee (2007)) df i + f i d ln X = θ i d ln X − ∑ γ ij d ln p j .

(4-24)

j

Following Lee, Brown, and Seale's (1994) version of the consumer NBR model, the differential production NBR model has been written as (Liu, Kilmer and Lee (2007)) f i d ln xi = θ i d ln X − ∑ (γ ij − f i Δ ij + f i f j ) d ln p j .

(4-25)

j

This model has the volume coefficient θi as in the differential input demand model (Equation 42) and the price coefficients γ ij as in the production AIDS model (Equation 4-11). The constraints are adding-up:

The Synthetic Input Demand Model A synthetic model that contains all of the four input demand models was developed by Barten (1993). This synthetic system is employed to assess and compare the empirical performance of each of the four conditional demand systems. Following Lee, Brown, and Seale's (1994) version of Barten’s (1993) synthetic model, Barten's synthetic production model can be written as follows (Liu, Kilmer and Lee (2007)) f i d ln xi = (d i + δ 1 f i ) d ln X − ∑ (eij − δ 2 f i (Δ ij − f j )) d ln p j

(4-31)

j

where d i = δ 1 β i + (1 − δ 1 )θ i and eij = δ 2 γ ij + (1 − δ 2 )π ij . It is good to notice that Equation 4-31 becomes the differential input demand model when δ 1 = δ 2 =0, the production CBS model when δ 1 =1 and δ 2 =0, the production AIDS model when δ 1 = δ 2 =1, and the production NBR model when δ 1 =0 and δ 2 =1. The demand restrictions on Equation 4-31 are adding-up:

and the curvature condition is ( x ′π x) ≥ 0 when the elements of the π matrix are defined as

Equation 4-31 also results in own-price and compensated cross-price elasticities as

ε xp =

eij − δ 2 f i (Δ ij − f j ) d ln xi =− d ln p j fi

(4-35)

and the Divisia volume elasticity as

ε xx =

(4-36) Empirical Models

In order to obtain estimable forms of the five demand systems, all variables must have dates attached. The standard practice of replacing the cost shares by their two-period moving average (Barten, 1993) has been followed as −

f it = ( f it + f it −1 ) / 2 .

(4-37)

This study uses annual data and the log differentials are measured as annual differences of the logarithmic value for time t and t-1. The differential input demand model (Equation 4-2) is transformed into f it Dxit = θ i DX t − ∑ π ij Dp jt + ε it

where d i , δ1 , δ 2 ,and eij are the parameters to be estimated. Data Section

The tomato data has been collected from various sources. Some of them are published and some of them are on-line websites. The main source for tomato import data is the United Nations (U.N.) Statistics Division–Commodity Trade Statistics Database (UN-COMTRADE) website. The International Agricultural Trade and Policy Center (IATPC) at the University of Florida has made necessary arrangements for the availability of this data. The U.S. tomato data are collected mostly from the website maintained by the USDA. Some data are also collected from the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Statistics (UN-FAOSTAT) website. The data set for this research have been completed for the period 1963 – 2005. In doing so, the U.N. commodity specification SITC Rev.1 with commodity code 0544 for fresh tomatoes has been used. At present the EU has 27 members. This study is confined to EU–15. Because data for 12 new members (Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia officially included on May 1, 2004, and Bulgaria and Romania included

61

on January 1, 2007) are not available for the entire period under consideration. Therefore, they are not included in this research as part of the EU dataset. Hence, the EU means EU-15 in this study. In order to get the EU member country’s data as well as that of the EU as a whole, data for tomato imports has been collected from 1963-2005 irrespective of the country’s inclusion in the EU. The data on the value (in U.S. dollar) of imports include cost, insurance and freight. The price data have been derived by dividing the values by quantity (in kilograms) imported. For a continuous time series data for the period under research (1963-2005), a few steps have been taken. First, since Belgium and Luxembourg were Customs Union until 1998, data for Belgium and Luxembourg have been added together for the years from 1999 through 2005 to represent a continuous series for Belgium and Luxembourg. Second, the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) data for 1963-1990 has been added to Germany data for 1991-2005 to make the Germany data series a continuous one. Third, the data for the United States of America (USA) has been constituted by adding USA before 1981 (with code 841) data to USA (code 842) data for 1981 through 2005. As the Customs area of the United States (U.S.) also includes the territory of U.S. Virgin Islands, the trade data of U.S. Virgin Islands before 1981 was also included in the USA data. Moreover, most of their trade occurred within the EU member countries. In this study, intra-trade among the EU members has been subtracted from total import trade figure of each member in order for arriving at the actual trade involvement of them with the outside world. Then, all the EU member countries’ trades have been added together to get EU import trade data. All these manipulations have been done through a mathematical programming in TSP (Time Series Processor) software. Thus, two sets of working data have been created – one for the EU-

62

15 as a whole with different participating partner countries and rest of the world (ROW) and the other for the U.S. with different participating partner countries and ROW. In selecting separate participating partner countries in the working dataset, their shares in total import trade during the period under study have been taken into consideration. For EU-15, about 95% of import trade has been covered by separate partners and remaining trade has been placed under ROW. It should be mentioned here that Bulgaria and Romania are in the list of separate partners according to their contribution shares even though subsequently they have become EU members. In the same way, about 99.5% of total U.S. import trade is covered by separate partners and remaining goes to ROW. Thus, for the U.S. import the partner/source countries are Mexico, Canada, EU-15, Dominican Republic and ROW and those for the EU-15 are Morocco, Romania, Bulgaria, Israel, Albania, Turkey, USA and ROW. The U.S. is kept as a separate partner in the working dataset for particular interest even if its share in EU-15 import is very small (only 0.12%). All programs relating above mentioned data manipulation are provided in Appendix C. However, in the working dataset as created there remain some zeros in quantity and value columns for a few partner countries for few years indicating no import taking place during those years. In order to deal with this situation, the zero quantity is replaced by 1 being a small number compared to millions as Wooldridge (2000) indicated a similar procedure. For the corresponding number in the value column that ultimately is transformed into price (since price = value/quantity), a separate regression procedure is followed. Theoretically, corresponding to very low quantity, price should be very high. Keeping this in mind, an ordinary least square (OLS) regression is done on price with quantity and time trend (years) as independent variables along with a constant term. Then, zero value (price) is replaced by the highest price for the country of

63

origin in question plus twice the standard deviation of the dependent variable plus inflation as the coefficient of the trend (years) variable with appropriate adjustment. The price regression models for the U.S. and the EU-15 are provided in Appendix A and Appendix B respectively.

CHAPTER 5 EMPIRICAL RESULTS Results for U.S. Tomato Import Demand Analysis

The U.S. import demand analysis has been performed on the data set with four separate partners and ROW. The extent of their involvement and the empirical results are discussed below. Descriptive Statistics

Table 5-1 shows the cost share, quantity share and the average prices of imports from the five sources of origin for 1964, the sample mean, and 2005. The largest cost share was for the import of tomatoes from Mexico and the lowest was for imports from the Dominican Republic. The cost share for imports from Mexico actually decreased from 98.78% in 1964 to 72.70% in 2005 whereas the decrease for imports from ROW was from 0.38% in 1964 to 0.25% in 2005. During the same period the cost share for imports from Canada, EU-15 and Dominican Republic increased from 0.79% to 24.40%, from 0.0% to 2,52% and from 0.05% to 0.13% respectively. The average prices for imports from Mexico and Dominican Republic are the same, but the average import price for EU-15 tomatoes is higher than other countries and increased over time. Model Results

For the U.S. import demand analysis, the differential production version of all the five models i.e., AIDS, CBS, NBR, differential input demand (DID) and Synthetic were estimated with first order autocorrelation AR(1), homogeneity and symmetry imposed. As all of these models satisfy adding-up conditions, only four equations have been estimated excluding the ROW equation as indicated in Barten (1969). The parameters for the omitted equation are established from the estimates of other equations using the adding-up conditions. The models were estimated by the iterative seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) method that is performed

65

using the well known least square procedure (LSQ) in the Time Series Processor (TSP) (Hall and Cummins, 1998). All models are found to have significant autocorrelation based on t-statistics (Table 5-2). A likelihood ratio test is done comparing the log likelihood values of the first four models to that of the Synthetic model in order to choose an appropriate model for the given data. Table 5-2 shows the test result whereby the NBR model qualifies as a model to be used. So, only results from the production NBR as corrected for autocorrelation (TSP website) have been reported for further discussion. The model has been provided in Appendix A. The coefficient estimates (γij) for production NBR (Equation 4-25), the demand parameters θi and πij and the conditional demand elasticity estimates (Equation 4-29 and Equation 4-30) calculated at sample mean cost share are shown in Table 5-3 and Table 5-4. The property of the Slutsky matrix to be positive semi-definite one is validated as all the eigen values are positive except one which is zero. The eigen values for the production NBR Slutsky matrix are 1.20646D-17, 0.000940, 0.008208, 0.038217, and 0.10139. This is an indication that the import firms are operating optimally. Divisia Elasticities: The Divisia import volume elasticities for Canada, Dominican

Republic, Mexico, EU-15 and ROW are 0.172136, 0.173076, 1.06388, 1.24252 and -1.68288 respectively (Table 5-4). The Divisia import elasticities for Mexico, EU-15 and ROW are significant and more than unity in absolute value terms whereas those for Canada and Dominican Republic are not significant and less than unity. This means that if total imports of tomatoes into the U.S. increases by 1%, other things remaining the same, imports from Canada or Dominican Republic would not change and imports from Mexico and EU-15 would increase by more than 1%; however, the import from ROW (with a negative Divisia import elasticity) would cause a decline by more than 1%. The reason for this may be the trivial share of ROW (only 0.37%) in

66

the U.S. total tomato import. So, when there is an increased volume of imports into the U.S., the prominent partners with larger shares capture the opportunity and the insignificant players aggregated in ROW loose their market share in competition. Conditional Own-Price Elasticities: The conditional own-price elasticities for Canada,

Dominican Republic, Mexico, EU-15 and ROW are -0.804941, -0.736886, -0.081015, -0.878641 and -0.520927 respectively. All of them are statistically significant but inelastic. These conditional elasticities indicate that the U.S. import demand for tomatoes from Mexico is the most inelastic meaning the least responsive to price change followed by ROW. The import demand for EU-15, Canada and the Dominican Republic tomatoes are more elastic, but still inelastic. Among them the EU-15 has the least inelastic demand and the most responsive to price change. This means that with a change in price the U.S. import demand for EU-15 tomatoes would change the most. For example, with a 1% decrease in an import price (ceterius paribus), the increases in the U.S. import demand for tomatoes would be 0.88% for EU-15 tomatoes; 0.80% for Canadian tomatoes, 0.74% for Dominican Republic tomatoes, 0.52% for ROW. The responsiveness of the U.S. import quantity would be almost the same (i.e., almost “no change”) for Mexican tomatoes if their prices change. Conditional Cross-Price Elasticities: It is noticeable from Table 5-4 that among the

conditional cross-price demand parameters fourteen (7 pairs) are statistically significant and different from zero. They are between (1) Canada and Mexico, (2) Canada and EU-15, (3) Dominican Republic and Mexico, (4) Dominican Republic and EU-15, (5) Dominican Republic and ROW, (6) Mexico and EU-15, and (7) Mexico and ROW. All of these conditional crossprice elasticity estimates are positive (implying input substitutes) except one involving ROW, i.e., between Dominican Republic and ROW. Results indicate that (1) if price of Mexican

67

tomatoes increases by 1%, the U.S. import demand for Canadian tomatoes will increase by 0.76%. On the other hand, if the price of Canadian tomatoes increases by 1%, the U.S. import demand for Mexican tomatoes will increase by 0.04% only. (2) If the price of EU-15 tomatoes is increased by 1%, the U.S. import demand for Canadian tomatoes would increase by 0.10%; however, if Canadian tomato price is increased by 1%, import demand for EU-15 tomato would increase by 0.12%. (3) A 1% price increase in Mexican tomatoes will cause a 1.20% increase in the U.S. import demand for Dominican Republic tomatoes whereas a 1% increase in the price of Dominican Republic tomatoes will have 0.003% impact on the import demand for Mexican tomatoes. (4) If the price of EU-15 tomatoes is increased by 1%, import demand for Dominican Republic tomatoes would increase by 0.27%; on the other hand, if price of Dominican Republic tomatoes is increased by 1%, the import demand for EU-15 tomatoes would increase by 0.02%. (5) The conditional cross-price elasticities between Dominican Republic and ROW are negative indicating complementary relation which is not expected. Most of the conditional cross-price elasticities related to ROW are negative. The conditional cross-price elasticities show that if the price of ROW tomatoes increases by 1%, the U.S. import demand for Dominican Republic tomatoes would decline by 0.80% and if price of Dominican Republic tomatoes increases by 1%, the import demand for ROW tomatoes would decline by 0.17%. (6) The conditional cross-price elasticities between Mexico and EU-15 show that if the price of EU-15 tomatoes is increased by 1%, the U.S. import demand for Mexican tomatoes would increase by 0.03%, but if the price of Mexican tomatoes is increased by 1%, the import demand for EU-15 tomatoes would increase by 0.73%. (7) Finally, the conditional cross-price elasticities suggest that if the price of ROW increases by 1%, the U.S. import demand for Mexican tomatoes would increase by only 0.01%;

68

on the contrary, if the price of Mexican tomatoes increases by 1%, the import demand for ROW tomatoes would increase by 0.92%. The Divisia volume elasticities and the conditional own-price elasticities for the U.S. analysis are calculated from 1995 to 2005 and the results are presented in Table 5-5 and Table 56 respectively. Even though there is no variable in the model directly related to any sort of structural change, it is to some extent accounted for through potential changes in the Divisia volume index coefficient that enters directly in elasticity calculation. If the Divisia volume elasticity and the conditional own-price elasticity change over time, this indicates that structural change is occurring recognizing that the precise nature of this structural change is not known. Therefore, these two elasticities are calculated over a period of 11 years with an initial sample size of 32 years (1964-1995) and each time adding one more year forward with a block of 32 years and subtracting the first year from the previous block. In the top part of both the Tables 5-5 and 5-6, elasticities are calculated letting both estimated parameters (numerator θi and πij) and mean factor cost shares (denominator MFi) change along with the sample; but in the bottom part of the tables, the denominator (MFi) is held constant at the initial sample block for the years 1964 to 1995 (2,33). The model for this simulation is provided in Appendix A. In the top part of both the tables elasticities show changes over time, but these changes may be due to structural influences (θi and πij) or mean cost share influences (MFi) or both. On the other hand, in the bottom part of Tables 5-5 and 5-6, the changes are due to (θi and πij) representing the structural changes more precisely. Thus, Table 5-5 (bottom part) shows that Divisia elasticities for Canada increase for a while and then decline, implying that Canada ultimately is losing shares of any increases in the U.S. imports. The Dominican Republic has a difficulty in capturing the U.S. import market. The

69

Divisia elasticities for the Dominican Republic show that this country is having increasing problems keeping its share of any increases in the U.S. imports of fresh tomatoes. Mexico holds a more or less stable position with little evidence of structural adjustments; EU-15 has a little improvement in capturing the U.S. import market; and the ROW has some insignificant mixed impact of gaining and losing. Table 5-6 (bottom part) shows the conditional own-price elasticity changes over time as a result of structural influences. The U.S. imports from Canada indicate some variation in price sensitiveness due to structural adjustments; the Dominican Republic is becoming more price sensitive; Mexico is becoming less price sensitive although it was already highly insensitive to price changes; EU-15 is highly sensitive to price changes and getting slightly more sensitive; and the ROW is, in fact, less sensitive to price changes. Conditional price elasticities do not always behave as one might expect when underlying structural changes are occurring. For example, conditional own-price elasticities in the U.S. import demand analysis for Canadian fresh tomatoes for the years 2003, 2004 and 2005 are not of the right sign (positive instead of negative). So, it seems more appropriate to look at the change in the share of each partner country when the total import volume changes over time in order for getting some idea about structural change. Moreover, import volume is an important variable in the model. Thus, the shares of each participating country have been calculated over the same period (i.e., 1995-2005) with the U.S. total import increases of 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% using the Divisia elasticities at the bottom part of Table 5-5. The variations/ fluctuations in each partner’s market share of the U.S. import market over the time are the result of structural change since the underlying variable values are kept fixed in the simulations. These are shown in Figure 5-1 through Figure 5-3 and the related data are given in Appendix C.

70

Figure 5-1 shows the situations for Canada and Dominican Republic. Canada is losing its relative shares of the growth in the U.S. import over time, but the losses are numerically quite small. Dominican Republic was stable for a while at the beginning of the period and then lost a small portion of its share in the U.S. import market and sustained the loss for the rest of the period under consideration. For the most part the share changes were extremely small. In Figure 5-2, Mexico holds a very stable share in the U.S. fresh tomato import market throughout the entire period with a little increase in its share toward the ending years. The case of EU-15 is interesting because the shares have generally risen over the study period, as seen in the left portion of Figure 5-2. Finally, Figure 5-3 indicates that the ROW is steadily losing its small share of the U.S. import market for fresh tomatoes, but not by a magnitude leading to any particular concern. Summary for U.S. Analysis

From the above discussion and the conditional price elasticities in Table 5-4, it is clear that the U.S. import demand for Mexican tomatoes is the most stable one meaning that it does not change much with the change in its own price or the changes in other partners’ prices. It implies that the U.S. consumers prefer Mexican tomatoes. In other words, Mexico faces no close competitors in the U.S. import market for fresh tomatoes. Results show that there is almost a sharp competition between Canada and EU-15 while the Dominican Republic is not competitive with EU-15. The market shares of different partners do not vary much indicating very little structural change reflected through the estimated parameters measured across time.

The EU-15 analysis was ultimately done with a data set created for six partner countries and the ROW. The empirical data status and model results are described below in detail.

71

Descriptive Statistics

The cost shares, quantity shares and the average prices of imports from all the seven sources of origin for 1964, sample mean and 2005 are displayed in Table 5-7. Among the separate countries, the largest import cost share was for the imports from Morocco and the smallest was for imports from Turkey. ROW ranked second in terms of cost share. The cost share for the imports from Morocco decreased from 84.12% in 1964 to 63.94% in 2005 and the import cost shares for the imports from Albania, Bulgaria and Romania also decreased during the same time period. On the other hand, import cost shares for the imports from Israel, Turkey and ROW showed considerable increase during that time. The average prices for the imports from Bulgaria and Romania are almost the same and those for Albania, Morocco, Turkey and ROW are similar. Model Results

In order to analyze EU-15 import demand, all of the five differential production models were estimated in the same way as they were estimated for the U.S. import demand analysis. The AIDS and CBS were estimated with first order autocorrelation (AR1) whereas the other three models had no significant autocorrelation (Table 5-8). Symmetry and homogeneity conditions were imposed in all of them. The likelihood ratio (LR) test (Table 5-8) shows that DID would be the most appropriate model followed by the CBS model. So, DID was applied to estimate the conditional demand parameters and demand elasticity estimates (Equation 4-6 and Equation 4-7). But, four out of eight conditional own-price elasticities were of the wrong sign (not negative) which is clearly unacceptable according to economic theory. Also the signs of the eigen values of the Slutsky matrix were not correct. The first three eigen values came out negative instead of positive.

72

Different trials were given with different years and with a different number of participating partner countries even though in the original working data there were eight participating partners including the ROW. However, all the conditional own-price elasticities were not found to be negative. Then the CBS model was tried, but the results were of the same kind. So, with the given data neither the DID nor CBS was working. Therefore, as a second choice the AIDS and NBR were applied. For these two models all the conditional own-price demand elasticities are found to be negative except the one related to the U.S. Finally, given that the U.S. import share is very small (0.12%), the U.S. data were merged with ROW making seven partner countries involved in EU-15 imports of fresh tomatoes. At this stage, the AIDS, NBR and the Synthetic model itself were estimated and all the own-price demand coefficients were found to be negative. However, they were not statistically significant in the Synthetic model; but they were all significant except one related to the ROW in both AIDS and NBR. These two models are almost equally likely for estimation purposes in case of the given data. Of course, DID and CBS were also estimated again with seven partner countries, but no fruitful results were found. The production NBR model has been selected between them on the grounds that it generates the larger likelihood value, it has a closer LR test statistics for acceptance (Table 5-8), eigen values are either zero or positive except one which is –0.0065308 , and conditional own-price elasticities are negative while most of the conditional cross price elasticities are positive (Table 5-10). However, the data is not rich enough to give theoretically precise results. Therefore, the estimates found will likely deviate from the correct estimates; however, the estimates are an approximation of the correct estimates and will be interpreted. The model is provided in Appendix B.

73

The estimates for the coefficients (γij) of production NBR (Equation 4-25), the demand parameters θi and πij and the demand elasticity estimates (Equation 4-29 and Equation 4-30) as calculated at sample mean cost shares are shown in Table 5-9 and Table 5-10. The property that the Slutsky matrix be positive semi-definite is not validated as all the eigen values are positive or zero except one that is -0.0065308. The eigen values for the production NBR Slutsky matrix are 0.0065308, 9.47247D-18, 0.021110, 0.026703, 0.043189, 0.071218 and 0.13542. The 0.0065308 eigen value is problematic, but is very close to zero. Divisia Elasticities: The Divisia import volume elasticities for Albania, Bulgaria, Israel,

Morocco, Romania, Turkey and ROW are -1.08036, 0.58081, 0.33524, 1.09925, 0.18365, 0.74704, and 2.44395 respectively. The Divisia import volume elasticities for Albania and Morocco are statistically significant and more than unity in absolute value terms. The Divisia import volume elasticity for ROW is also more than unity, but not statistically significant. All other Divisia import elasticities are insignificant and less than unity. This means that if total tomato import into the EU-15 is increased by 1%, other things being equal, the import from Albania (with negative volume elasticity) would decrease by 1.08% and imports from Bulgaria, Israel, Morocco, Romania, Turkey and ROW would increase by 0%, 0%, 1.10%, 0%, 0% and0% respectively. So, in terms of import volume increase, Morocco captures the opportunity as a prominent partner. Conditional Own-Price Elasticities: The conditional own-price elasticities for Albania,

Bulgaria, Israel, Morocco, Romania, Turkey and ROW are -1.07609, -0.72700, -0.83100, 0.13009, -0.65609, -0.96215, and -0.89697 respectively (Table 5-10). All of them are statistically significant except the one associated with ROW. These conditional elasticities show that EU-15 import demand for Albanian tomatoes is elastic and the others are inelastic even though the

74

import demand for Turkish tomatoes is almost unitary elastic. Among the partners, the inelasticity is the most (i.e., the least responsive to price change) for the import demand for tomatoes from Morocco. Conditional own-price elasticities indicate that for a 1% decrease in the import prices, ceterius paribus, the increases in EU-15 import demand for tomatoes would be 1.08% for Albanian tomatoes, 0.73% for Bulgarian tomatoes, 0.83% for Israeli an tomatoes, 0.13% for Morocco tomatoes, 0.66% for Romanian tomatoes, 0.96% for Turkish tomatoes, and 0.90% for ROW tomatoes. So, EU-15 import quantity from Albania would increase the most followed by Turkey, ROW, Israel, Bulgaria and Romania if their prices decrease. The import quantity from Morocco would not change much with the change in price. Conditional Cross-Price Elasticities: Among the conditional cross-price demand

parameters, only five were statistically significant (different from zero). They are between (1) Albania and Morocco, (2) Bulgaria and Morocco, (3) Bulgaria and ROW, (4) Morocco and Turkey, and (5) Turkey and ROW (Table 5-10). All of the corresponding conditional cross-price elasticities are positive (input substitute relation) excepting the ones related to ROW, which indicate a complementary relationship. (1) The conditional cross-price elasticity estimates between Albania and Morocco are significant indicating that if the price of Morocco tomatoes is increased by 1%, the EU-15 import demand for Albanian tomatoes would increase by 0.64%; on the other hand, if the price of Albanian tomatoes increases by 1%, the EU-15 demand for Morocco tomatoes would not change much (only increases by 0.02%). (2) The conditional crossprice elasticity between Bulgaria and Morocco is significant, but the same between Morocco and Bulgaria is not. These conditional elasticities show that if the price of Morocco tomatoes is increased by 1%, the EU-15 import demand for Bulgarian tomatoes would increase by almost 1% whereas if the price of Bulgarian tomatoes is increased by 1%, the demand for Morocco

75

tomato would not change. (3) The conditional cross-price elasticities between Bulgaria and ROW are significant and negative (input complement). If the price of ROW tomatoes increases by 1%, the import demand for Bulgarian tomatoes would decrease by 0.54%, but when the price of Bulgarian tomatoes is increased by 1%, the import demand for ROW tomatoes would decrease by 0.38% (4) The conditional cross-price elasticities between Morocco and Turkey are also significant and positive. If the price of Turkish tomatoes is increased by 1%, the EU-15 demand for Morocco tomato would increase by 0.03%; on the other hand, if the price of Morocco tomatoes is increased by 1%, the EU-15 demand from Turkey would increase by 1.27% (elasticity is more than unity). (5) The conditional cross-price elasticies between Turkey and ROW show complementary relations. It means a 1% increase in the price of ROW tomatoes would result 0.85% reduction in the EU-15 import demand for Turkish tomatoes whereas a 1% increase in the price of Turkish tomatoes would result 0.29% reduction in import demand for ROW tomatoes. (6) The conditional cross-price elasticities between Israel and ROW are significant and positive that means a 1% increase in ROW tomato price would increase EU-15 import demand for Israeli tomato by 0.74% whereas a 1% increase in the price of Israeli tomatoes would increase EU-15 import demand for ROW tomatoes by 0.64%. (7) The conditional cross-price elasticities between Romania and Turkey are also significant indicating that if the price of Turkish tomatoes is increased by 1%, the EU-15 demand for Romanian tomatoes would increase by 0.09%; on the contrary, if the price of Romanian tomatoes is increased by 1%, the import demand for Turkish tomatoes would increase by 0.36%. In the same way as the U.S. analysis, the Divisia volume elasticities and the conditional own-price elasticities for the EU-15 analysis are calculated from 1995 to 2005 and the results are presented in Table 5-11 and Table 5-12 respectively. Even though there is no variable in the

76

model related directly to any sort of structural change, underlying structural change could be accounted for in the Divisia volume index coefficient and in the elasticities. Similarly, conditional own-price elasticities are derived from the own-price coefficients that could change over time. Therefore, these two elasticities are calculated over a period of 11 years with an initial sample size of 32 years (1964-1995) and then for each adjustment period one year forward is added and the earliest year among the 32 years is dropped. This way the sample size is kept fixed. In the top parts of both the Tables 5-11 and 5-12, elasticities are calculated letting both estimated parameters (numerator θi and πij) and mean factor cost shares (denominator MFi) change along with the sample; but in the bottom part the denominator (MFi) is held constant at the initial sample block for the years 1964 to 1995 (2,33) and the resulting changes are only attributable to changes in the parameters θi and πij representing the structural impacts. The model for the above simulation is provided in Appendix B. Table 5-11 shows the changes in the Divisia volume elasticities over time. The top part of the table indicates that these changes may be structural or due to changes in mean cost shares or both. The bottom part explains the changes as a result of changes in the parameters, thus capturing potential structural change more precisely. The table indicates that Albania is losing in the EU-15 import volume in anyway even if the loss is not as bad as it was at the beginning. Bulgaria has some loss and gain in between with an ultimate loss at the end; Israel shows some losses in the middle of the period under consideration but gains at the end while Morocco has a somewhat stable position indicating very little structural impact; Romania has some ups and downs in the EU-15 import volume; Turkey was gaining at the beginning with a sudden drop in between and again gaining a little toward the end of the period; and the ROW is somehow experiencing steady loss in the EU-15 import volume until the end of the period.

77

Table 5-12 (bottom part) tells the same story about structural impact in terms of own-price sensitiveness. Albania is getting less price sensitive while Bulgaria is getting more price sensitive; Israel is becoming less price sensitive; Morocco is becoming less price sensitive during the more recent years; and Romania is becoming more price sensitive while Turkey is getting less price sensitive. The ROW has mixed impacts even though it becomes less price sensitive near the end of the study period. As conditional price elasticities do not always behave the way they theoretically should ( as in case of conditional own-price elasticities for the EU-15 import demand for Israeli tomatoes for the years 2003, 2004 and 2005), it is better to look at the changes in shares of each partner country when the total import volume changes over time in order to explain the impact of structural changes. So, the shares of each participating country have been calculated over the same period (i.e., 1995-2005) with the EU-15 total import increases of 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% using the Divisia elasticities at the bottom part of Table 5-11. The variations/ fluctuations in each partner’s market share of the EU-15 import market over the time are actually the result of structural changes. These are shown in Figure 5-4 through Figure 5-7 and the related data are provided in Appendix C. In Figure 5-4, the stories for Albania and Bulgaria are almost the same. Both experience losses (Albania having negative Divisia elasticities) in relative shares of the growth in the EU-15 imports over time. Even if the losses in share toward the end period are not as bad as the earlier years, they are, in any case, going to lose EU-15 import market share unless they do something to reverse the situation. Figure 5-5 explains the impact of some structural influence on Israel’s market share in EU-15 tomato import market. Although at the beginning it experienced little stability and losses, it really picked up increasing shares toward the ending part of the period as a

78

result of some structural impact. On the other hand, Morocco has a stable and steady growth (with a slight decrease at the end) in its market share in EU-15 fresh tomato import market, but showing little sign of structural influence. In Figure 5-6, Romania’s situation is somewhat stable with little loss and gain over time. So, structural factor may not be in effect for this variation in its share in EU-15 import market. Turkey faced some stability and a little growth in market share at the beginning and then a sharp drop that may be due to structural adjustment even though toward the end of the period there appears to be some recovery. Finally, Figure 5-7 shows that from a stable situation ROW started experiencing a sharp drop in market share until the terminal year of the time period when it picked up some gain again. This kind of disruption reflects potential structural changes. Summary for EU-15 Analysis

The above discussion and Table 5-10 summarize that the EU-15 import demand for Morocco tomatoes is the most stable one. It means, the import quantity from Morocco does not change much with the change in its own price or the prices of the other partner countries. This implies that Morocco faces no close competitors and it is a prominent partner with the EU-15. However, there exists some competition between Israel and ROW. As the EU-15 import market grows over time, Albania is going to lose its share under any situation; Bulgaria’s position is somehow stable even though losing its share; Israel was losing initially, but toward the recent time it is picking up its share; and Morocco’s case is more stable showing no indication of structural effect. Turkey shows a stable condition at the beginning and then some drops and pick ups, but towards the end period it is gaining its share.

CHAPTER 6 CONCLUSIONS Observations

In order to have a good demand analysis empirical data is very important. The empirical data used in this research do not behave equally well for the U.S. import demand analysis and the EU-15 analysis. In case of the U.S., the results are as per expectation according to economic theory from the appropriate model at first instance (NBR as qualified by LR test). However, the scenario is not the same for the EU-15 import demand analysis. The empirical data was not giving a theoretically convinced results from the model that seemed appropriate by the LR test (the DID). So, a different specification of model had to be chosen (NBR), as a second line of choice, in order to analyze the given data set with a little manipulation (merging the U.S. data with ROW). Hence, it is the data, not always the models that cause problems in generating theoretically acceptable results. Summary

Divisia volume elasticities show that when the U.S. total import volume is increased by 1%, fresh tomato imports from each of Mexico and the EU-15 would increase by more than 1%, but imports from ROW would decrease by more than 1%. Conditional own-price elasticities indicate that the U.S. demands for fresh tomatoes from all of the five sources under study are inelastic. Inelasticity is the most for the demand for Mexican tomatoes (-0.08) and the least for EU-15 tomatoes (-0.88). Among the significant conditional cross-price elasticities only the ones between Dominican Republic and ROW and vice versa are negative indicating a complementary relation. All others (six pairs) show a substitute relationship as expected. The conditional crossprice elasticities suggest that the U.S. demand for Mexican tomatoes remains almost the same when other countries individually change their price in either direction. On the other hand, when

96

Mexico increases/decreases its price by (say) 1%, the increase/decrease in quantity of import from Canada, Dominican Republic, EU-15 and ROW would be 0.76%, 1.20%, 0.73%, and 0.92% respectively. So, Mexico is competitive with others, but others are not competitive with Mexico. Conditional cross-price elasticities also show that Canada and EU-15 are competitive with one another (0.10 against 0.12). None of these source specific import demands seem to be influenced by structural changes even as Canada is gradually losing its market share while EU15 is gaining its share. For EU-15 import demand, the only two significant (and more than unity) Divisia volume elasticities indicate that with a 1% increase in total import volume EU-15 demand for Morocco fresh tomatoes would increase by more than 1%, but the import demand for Albanian tomatoes would decrease by more than 1%. All of the conditional own-price elasticities are significant except the one related to ROW. Only the conditional own-price elasticity of the demand for Albanian tomatoes is elastic (-1.08). Among the conditional inelastic demands, Morocco has the most inelasticity (-0.13) and Turkey has the least inelasticity (almost unitary elastic). Of thirteen significant conditional cross-price elasticities, four relating Bulgaria, Turkey and ROW show a complementary relationship; others show a substitute relationship. The conditional cross-price elasticities suggest that Morocco is competitive with others, but others are not competitive with Morocco. If Morocco increases its price by 1%, Eu-15 import demand for Albanian tomatoes increases by 0.64%, demand for Bulgarian tomatoes increases by 1% and that for Turkey increases by 1.27%, but if others increase their price individually by 1%, demand for Morocco tomatoes almost does not change. Conditional cross-price elasticities also show some competition between Israel and ROW. There exists some structural influence on import demands for fresh tomatoes into the EU-15 especially for Albania, Israel, Turkey and ROW.

Conclusions

Given the continuous changes in international as well as domestic trade policies and trade liberalization/globalization, the potentiality of exporting countries/producers to achieve a larger share in international trade is of greater interest. It has been found that for the U.S. import demand of fresh tomatoes the prominent supplier is Mexico facing no close competitor. Canada and EU-15 compete closely with each other for the U.S. imports of fresh tomatoes. Hence, the two products seem to be homogeneous. On the other hand, Mexican fresh tomatoes have heterogeneous characteristics compared with other partners’. The U.S. consumers have either some preferential tastes for Mexican tomatoes, or Mexico has some especial strategies, technologies and product qualities that make it a prominent one in the U.S. import market. Canada is losing its share in the U.S. imports while EU-15 is gaining. However, no significant symptom of structural change impact has been found in case of the U.S. import market for fresh tomatoes. Similarly, for the EU-15 import demand for fresh tomatoes Morocco is the major supplier with no close competitor. Israel and ROW are somehow competing with each other for EU-15 imports indicating some homogeneous tendency in their products. However, Morocco seems to enjoy some preferential treatment in the EU-15 fresh tomato import market that characterizes its product as heterogeneous to others’. Albania, Bulgaria and ROW are losing their share in EU-15 imports. Some structural impacts have been found with respect to EU-15 import demand for tomatoes from Albania, Bulgaria, Israel, Turkey and ROW. One interesting finding is that some small exporters like Israel and Turkey are increasingly penetrating into the EU-15 import market in recent years.

98

Implications

As the U.S. fresh tomato import market is dominated by Mexico and it has no competitor, it is necessary for the other countries to figure out some measures that will make their competition with Mexico closer in order to get a larger share in the U.S. import market. Canada also needs to look into its overall situation and find out the causes of losing share of the U.S. fresh tomato import market to the EU-15 In the same way, Morocco holds the dominating position in the EU-15 import market and other partners except Bulgaria and Romania (have become EU members subsequently) have to do something that will make them closer competitors to Morocco. Albania’s losing situation is very delicate and needs immediate attention. Israel and Turkey should explore further to keep on increasing their market shares. Since the main suppliers for the U.S. and EU-15 fresh tomato markets are Mexico and Morocco respectively, in case of any calamities, diseases or disruption in their supply, there could be significant impacts on these two markets. Unless other countries succeed in becoming more competitive with these two prominent suppliers, the U.S. and the EU-15 import markets will remain at some risk. Thus, the import demand analysis of this research will help the participating countries determine the level of competitiveness among other competitors and then make appropriate decision thereby to ensure their own gains from trade. It is also expected to help the policy makers to undertake changes/adjustments in policies and implement them effectively.
