“…Price showed as a factor that has a strong influence on the amount of imports, seen in response to the amount of red chilli imports toward changes in elastic price ratio value both short and long term, with the value of -1.027 and -2.95. This result was accordance with the research conducted by Fuller et al (1992) which concludes that the import of a commodity was also affected by the import price and the domestic price of the commodity. The import management policy had undergone several changes.…”

Red chilli is one of basic commodities in Indonesia, in household consumption and raw material of industry even though the price of red chilli not only often fluctuates but also contributing to inflation. Policies taken by the government against the red chilli was with the application of the reference price, as the management of importation, for stabilizing the price of red chilli. This study aims to see the effectiveness of the reference price policy in influencing red chilli deals through red chilli import management and determine the factors that affect the red chilli deals in the effort to stabilize the price, using two stage least square (TSLS) simultaneous model with secondary data from Desember 2010- September 2016. In this study, red chili supply models in Indonesia consisted of five equations, four structural equations, and one identity equation. The structural equation consisted of red chili production, red chili import, red chili export, and red chili prices while the identity equation namely red chili supply. The results showed that reference price application had not been effective because it was not able to manage the importation properly, caused red chilli prices were still fluctuating. Implementation of reference prices did not significantly affect imports and prices, it indicated that the reference price policy was ineffective. This policy should be pursued by strengthening the development of production and to encourage red chilli farmers interest to increase the amount of production for continuity the supply side.

“…Sometimes, researchers tend to use the relative price of imports, ratio of import price to domestic price, when multicollinearity exists (Doroodian, Koshal, and Al-Muhanna, 1994;Abbott and Seddighi, 1996;Sanos and Montanes, 2002;Agbola and Damoense, 2005). However, other researchers have used import and domestic prices as separate variables in estimating import demand functions (Fuller, Gutierrez, and Capps 1992;Fuller, Bello, and Capps, 1992;King, 1993;Peridy, Guillotreau, and Bernard, 2000;Fischer, 2004). Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is generally used as a measure of income, however, many researchers have pointed out that consumption expenditure might represent a better proxy of income than GDP (King, 1993;Periday, Guillotreau, and Bernard, 2000).…”

“…The choice between the two forms is an important issue as there will be both statistical and economic implications. Many researchers have adopted the use of the log linear form of the import equation in their empirical work (Fuller, Gutierrez, and Capps, 1992;Periday, Guillotreau, and Bernard, 2000;Doroodian, Koshal, and Al-Muhanna, 1994;Abbott and Seddighi, 1996;Fischer, 2004;Agbola and Damoense, 2005). The small country assumption is invoked, hence, Egypt is a price taker and import supply elasticities are assumed infinite.…”

“…The small country assumption is invoked, hence, Egypt is a price taker and import supply elasticities are assumed infinite. Consequently, import price may be treated as exogenous and a single equation import demand can be specified (Fuller, Gutierrez, and Capps, 1992;Fuller, Bello, and Capps, 1992). The per-capita import demand equation for fish products in Egypt can be specified in general terms as follows:…”

This paper examined the determinants of fish products import demand in Egypt between 1980 and 2007. Exogenous variables were selected based on demand theory and the traditional import demand functions. Quantitative estimates were based on OLS as well as cointegration and error correction models. The results confirmed the existence of long-run equilibrium relationship between fish import demand, consumption expenditure, exchange rate, and prices of imported and domestically produced fish, on per-capita basis. The estimated import demand functions fit the data well. Estimated coefficients had the correct signs in the short and the long-run functions. The results showed that in the long-run imported fish products were inelastic with respect to its own price, price of locally produced fish, real exchange rate, and consumption expenditure. Cointegration results showed that the long-run import elasticities of demand with respect to import price, locally produced fish price, real exchange rate, and consumption expenditure were-0.39, 0.36,-0.29, and 0.82, respectively. The dominant determinant of fish products import demand in the short and long-run is consumption expenditure meaning that economic growth would lead to higher import demand. Results of the estimated short-run equation indicated that any deviation from long-run equilibrium in per-capita fish import demand is completely corrected the following year. Measures to support fish sector in the area of production, transportation, and marketing could lead to reduction in fish prices and in imports and dampen the increase in import demand that is driven by economic growth.

A spatial, intertemporal equilibrium model of the North American dry onion economy is constructed to analyze the impact of liberalized U.S.-Mexico trade. In a free-trade environment, exports of Mexican onions to the U.S. are projected to increase about 50%, while Mexico's share of the U.S. market increases from 8.7 to 12.8%. Farm-level prices in the U.S. are projected to decline 8.9%, while production declines 2.4%. The effect of free trade on U.S. producers is disproportional across regions. Northwest storage onion producers experience the greatest decline in production; however, analysis suggests that improved storage methods may offset a portion of the unfavorable impacts of liberalized trade on these producers. In spite of the unfavorable impact of free trade on U.S. dry onion producers, the industry would not be economically devastated.
