Export subsidies have been an important element of U.S. agricultural policy. After the aport boom of the early 1970's. their importance declined until the emergence of the Export Enhancement Program (EEP) in 1985. The EEP will retain its importance over the next few years. During certain time periods, s ecific commodity markets provide opportunities for an EEP to l L effective.Here we analyze the barley EEP for 1986187 and 1987188. The barley EEP was urobably more effective than the wheat EEP in boosting exports. ~esearchers should continue to conduct additional empirically-based studies of other commodities, especially high-valuedproduck, to provide more information for poli~ymak~rs.
