Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting

Kansas State University

The main accomplishments of the work completed during this reporting period are listed below.

China has become an increasingly important importer of corn and other agricultural commodities. This motivated us to study the extent to which China’s policies directed to protect their domestic markets have a diversification objective. In an article in Agricultural Economics, we find that China’s policies, in particular their administration of the tariff-rate-quotas for imported grains committed before the WTO, have helped China to diversify suppliers. This is an interesting finding as China’s demand could stimulate more production form South America and Eastern Europe, which in turn could help to diversify exporters. Such diversification has contrasting effects for U.S. producers. On the one hand, China’s reorientation of their supply source will contribute to erode market shares. On the other, a more diversified set of suppliers may reduce concerns in importing countries about the exposure to foreign shocks, which over time, could reduce the rationale for obstructing market access to U.S. corn exports.

On the area of risk management programs and trade policy, our research has help to understand how the government-supported risk management programs affect farm production and crop supply. For example, the U.S. federal crop insurance has expanded rapidly for the last several decades and one of his recent projects focuses on the impacts of crop insurance on crop supply. These policies have directly bearing on trade as their distortionary effects and compliance with the WTO framework remain underexplored. More work on this area is expected in the current reporting period.

On the area of climate instability and agricultural prices, our findings suggest that increased volatility could be offset with increases in the ratio of imports to total consumption or in the stock-to-use ratio at the beginning of the crop marketing year. The fact that both imports and stocks help to stabilize domestic prices suggests that their uses should hinge on a careful cost-benefit analysis, including the risk of facing world production more variable than domestic production and the costs of carrying maize inventories over time.

Description
International trade is vital to the prosperity of U.S. agriculture and accounts for 20% of U.S. farm income. To contribute toward
securing and creating opportunities for U.S. agriculture and food products to enter into and remain competitive in foreign
markets, this project seeks to significantly enhance our understanding of the impacts of sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS)
measures and technical barriers to trade (TBT) affecting the U.S and global agricultural trade. Specific objectives are: (i) to
create an inventory of SPS and TBT measures affecting the U.S. and global agricultural trade using a targeted approach of
exporters' revealed concerns; (ii) Develop a state-of-the-art econometric framework to provide new quantitative estimates of
the impact of revealed SPS and TBT specific trade concerns on the U.S. and global agricultural trade. (iii) Develop a discretetime
model to provide novel evidence on the extent to which SPS and TBT measures impact the duration and hazard rate of
U.S. and competing suppliers' agricultural trade. 2018-2019 project accomplishments include
a. Completed comprehensive TBT database over the 1995-2018 timeframe.
b. Completed model and estimation framework to determine impacts of SPS and TBT measures on trade flows
c. Completed comprehensive policy report outlining the results of this project
d. Preparation of journal articles and book chapters
e. This project has supported current Ph.D. student Khadija Rouchdi

Accomplishments

What was accomplished under these goals?

Impact Statement

International markets account for a considerable portion of U.S. agricultural products sales thus our project serves U.S. producers and agribusiness by providing them updated and relevant information and analysis related to the impacts of domestic and international polices on trade.

In the short term, our project outputs enhance the knowledge of U.S. agricultural producers and agribusiness regarding the potential impact of policies or regulations on marketing their products. In the medium term, U.S. producers and agribusiness could identify the potential markets and make more adequate investment decisions based on the knowledge provided from our outputs. Enhancing the knowledge of policy impacts on trade could also help producers and investors reduce the uncertainties and risk of counting on a single/dominant market and make a more comprehensive and long-term investment plan. In the long term, our study could benefit the society from developing a stronger agricultural sector through the improvement in the decision process and related financial condition of U.S. agricultural producers and agribusiness. Consumers will benefit from acquiring low-cost and diverse agricultural products when producers and agribusiness gain more knowledge in allocating resources more effectively.

In 2019/20, our focus is on the impacts of U.S. and foreign policies, regulations, market structures, and productivity on U.S. food and agricultural trade, the economy, and the environment. The data used in those activities are primarily obtained from USDA or public accessed websites. We highlight two of our studies below.

1. a) The Impact of US Sugar Prices on the Financial Performance of US Sugar-Using Firms

What is the issue?

US sugar policy protects domestic sugar producers from world sugar prices because the world sugar market consists of heavily subsidized sugar from countries such as India and Brazil. The world sugar market is often considered the most distorted commodity market because nearly all sugar-exporting countries subsidize their sugar industries. Due to the mechanics of the US sugar program, and the fact that the world sugar market consists of mostly subsidized sugar, US raw and refined wholesale prices for sugar are typically higher than world raw and wholesale sugar prices. For instance, from 2000 to 2017, US raw sugar prices have been, on average, 10 cents per pound higher than world sugar prices. Critics argue that the US sugar policy sustains a relatively small number of jobs in the sugar industry, while causing economic losses to sugar-using industries because US raw and wholesale prices are artificially higher than raw and wholesale world prices. The goal of this paper is to investigate if the higher US price of sugar (compared to the world price of sugar) negatively impacts the financial performance of sugar-using firms.

What has the team done to address the problem?

The team applied a regression analysis to examine the effect of the US sugar program on the financial performance of publicly traded food manufacturers who use sugar as a primary input. We used a standard financial accounting model and included the US-to-world sugar price ratio as an explanatory variable. The null hypothesis we test is that the US-to-world sugar price ratio does not affect sugar-using firm financial performance. Unexpectantly, the regression results provide statistical evidence that as the US sugar price increases relative to the world sugar price, sugar-using firm financial performance improves. This is likely a result of sugar-using firms passing higher sugar costs on to consumers. An ex post analysis indicates that the statistical tests have adequate power. Findings provide guidelines for future analyses investigating the relationship between the US sugar program and sugar-using firm financial performance.

What are the impacts of the team’s research?

The findings have been cited by the American Sugar Alliance in their press release, titled “New Report Finds No Evidence that U.S. Sugar Program Harms Profitability of Sugar-Using Companies.” This study has also been featured by various popular press outlets as it provides a new evidence to a long-debated issue related to the potential impact of U.S. sugar program on sugar-using companies. Dr. DeLong, in her interview, indicated that “The U.S. sugar program buffers domestic sugar producers against heavily subsidized foreign sugar, but sugar-using firms claim that this program maintains artificially high domestic prices and therefore decreases profits. The data show that when all other conditions remain the same, there is no evidence to support these claims.” The results have also been published in Agricultural and Food Economics.

1. b) COVID-19 and Cotton Demand in China: Implications for U.S. Exports

What is the issue?

The COVID-19 outbreak has substantially reduced global spending on apparel and other cotton products. As the leading global market for cotton imports and leading exporter of clothing and apparel, China’s demand for cotton from exporting countries, such as U.S., has been adversely affected by this pandemic, and potentially influences U.S. cotton exports.

What has the team done to address the problem?

We examined Chinese demand for imported cotton by product form (raw cotton and yarn) and by source (e.g., U.S., India), as well as the dynamic price relationships across countries. Using year-to-date trade, demand estimates, and price forecasts, we assessed the impact of COVID-19 on Chinese imports and the countries supplying this market.

What are the impacts of the team’s research?

Based on our analysis, the most severe impacts of COVID-19 on Chinese cotton imports are either behind us, or the latter half of 2020 could potentially be just as bad as the early part of the year. The outcome depends on the impact of manufactured-product prices on imports. This research has increased understanding of the potential impact of the pandemic to U.S. and Tennessee agriculture. With the signing of the U.S.-China Phase One Trade Agreement in January 2020 and retaliatory tariff exemptions by the Chinese government in March 2020, the expectations for U.S. cotton exports to China in 2020 were significantly higher than the level in 2019. Our results suggest that Chinese imports of U.S. cotton in 2020 will fall well short of this

goal. This study has been accepted by Agribusiness: An International Journal.
