“…The IIASA model was based on the same idea, only its authors disaggregated agricultural production into ten commodities, with one residual, "nonagriculture" commodity (Fisher, et al, 1988). The multiple commodity work of Horridge and Pearce (1988)-based on the Tyers and Anderson (1992) PE trade model)-as well as that of Peterson, Hertel and Stout (1994) and McDonald (1990) both based on USDA's SWOPSIM model (Roningen et al, 1991) -are similar in spirit.…”

This paper reviews the literature on applied general equilibrium analysis of agricultural and resource policies. It begins with an historical overview, followed by an assessment of the benefits of this methodology for examining sectoral policies. The chapter then turns to questions of disaggregation of commodities, households, regions and factors of production. Parameter specification and model closure are discussed, as well as problems of modeling policies which affect agriculture. There are also special sections on agriculture and the environment, product differentiation and imperfect competition and model validation. The paper closes with a discussion of future challenges to the field.

“…This is accomplished by specifying the constant coefficients for equations governing the production and consumption of products to match control values. Control data for crops, and livestock were taken from Roningen et al (1991) and Sullivan et al (1992). Forest demand and production are taken from the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) (1993,1995).…”

“…Forest demand and production are taken from the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) (1993,1995). Price and income elasticity estimates are adopted from the SWOPSIM model (Roningen et al 1991;Sullivan et al 1992), while the asymptotic consumption limits for final crop and livestock consumption are developed from econometric estimation of parameters from cross-sectional data drawn from United Nations FA0 (1993,1995) for the year 1975. Period-specific grawth factors for regional forests are taken from Avery and Burkhart (1983).…”

“…For more details on the structure, base values, and parameter estimatcs of SWOPSIM models, sec Roningen (}986) andRoningen and Dixit (1990).13 The supply and dcmand equations are specificd in constant elasticity form in the SWOPSIM framework. In the supply equations for animal products, the consumer priee of fecds is included rather than the produccr priee.…”

91Pick, D. and Krissoff, B., 1993. Will developing country debt forgiveness increase agricultu raI trade? Agric. Econ., 8: 91-105.Latin American countries are important customers in international agricultural trade. However, between 1981 and 1987, U.S. agricultural exports to thcsc countries declined by almost 50%. One explanation for the above decrease is the change in financial conditions facing many countries in this region. Outstanding debt in the Latin American countries continued to rise through the 1980's, reaching over $120 billion for Brazil and Mexico by 1987.ln this paper, we develop an import model which considers the cffect of the deht crisis on the ability of developing countries to purchase agricultural commodities in world markets. We estimate the model for four countries: Mexico, Brazil, Chile, and Venezuela.The estimated results are used in a simulation model to obtain the effects of a 50% debt forgiveness scenario. Results indicatc only a modest improvement in agrlcultural irnports of the four Latin American countries considered in this study. These four countrics wou Id expand agricultural imports by $400 million per annum given the debt reduction.
