Is Mercosur promoting trade? Insights from Argentinean wine exports

As a consequence of the rapid and significative decrease in domestic demand, to avoid structural surplus traditional wine producing countries have been forced to export a growing share of their wine production. This article empirically investigates Argentinean trade policy on the wine sector over the last years, in order to understand its effect on export flows. An expanded gravity model was estimated through a Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood estimator, in order to account for heteroskedasticity. The data used refer to Argentinean exports of bottled wine to all main world importers during the period 1997-2010, and account for more than 90% of total trade flows. Our results show that Mercosur membership has promoted Argentinean wine exports to other Latin American countries, but may as a whole have been counter-productive. A more open trade policy could increase Argentinean bottled wine exports by more than 5.8%. In addition, given the rise in wine imports and consumption in countries with high tariff barriers, such as China, the small number of free trade agreements could penalize Argentinean exports even more in the future.

“…The frequency of zero bilateral trade flow observations generally prevails for bilateral trade flow datasets at disaggregated commodity or subindustrial levels and for bilateral trade flow datasets that include several distant and small developing countries (e.g., Ghazalian et al., ; Haq et al., ; Jayasinghe, Beghin, & Moschini, ;). Zero bilateral trade flow observations occur when some country pairs simply do not trade.…”

On the Magnitude of the Geographic Distance Effect on Primary Agricultural and Processed Food Trade

The empirical trade literature regularly emphasizes the essential role of the geographic distance in determining the levels and patterns of international trade. This paper examines the diversities in the magnitude of the geographic distance effects on primary agricultural trade and on processed food trade between OECD countries. The empirical results from different specifications of the gravity model reveal the existence of significant variations in the magnitude of the distance effects on primary agricultural trade and on processed food trade over time and through economic, geo-economic, and socio-economic characteristics of the exporting and importing countries. These findings imply that disregarding the variations through the distance effect by relying on overall estimates would adversely affect the design of trade policies, and would limit the understanding of trade patterns.

“…Disdier, Fontagné, and Mimouni (2008) find diverse impacts of NTMs on the imports of different countries. SPS measures impose less trade costs on the US exports of corn than distance and tariffs do according to the study by Jayasinghe, Beghin, and Moschini (2010). Winchester et al (2012) also address the impeding effect of NTMs on agricultural trade by defining the heterogeneity index measuring the diverse regulations between the exporter and the importer.…”

This study sheds light on particular issues of poultry imports to the EU during the 1996-2014 period. First, we analyze the mechanisms of EU market protection through the evolution of tariffs and non-tariff measures (NTMs), both descriptively and econometrically. Second, we estimate bilateral ad valorem equivalents (AVEs) of different types of NTMs imposed on the imports of poultry to the EU. These AVEs hint towards the diverse impact of NTMs on various exporters based on their production compatibilities with EU standards. Third, we analyze the quality impact of NTMs, which are also differentiated by the exporting countries.
