| description |
Notwithstanding the tariffication
component of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture,
import tariffs on farm products continue to provide an
incomplete indication of the extent to which agricultural
producer and consumer incentives are distorted in national
markets. Especially in developing countries,
non-agricultural policies indirectly impact agricultural and
food markets. Empirical analysis aimed at monitoring
distortions to agricultural incentives thus need to examine
both agricultural and non-agricultural policy measures
including import or export taxes, subsidies and quantitative
restrictions, plus domestic taxes or subsidies on farm
outputs or inputs and consumer subsidies for food staples.
This paper addresses the practical methodological issues
that need to be faced when attempting to undertake such a
measurement task in developing countries. The approach is
illustrated in two ways: by presenting estimates of nominal
and relative rates of assistance to farmers in China for the
period 1981 to 2005; and by summarizing estimates from an
economy-wide computable general equilibrium model of the
effects on agricultural versus non-agricultural markets of
the project's measured distortions globally as of 2004. |
