“…Second, trade liberalization often involves multilateral negotiations (e.g., WTO negotiations), suggesting the need to present the arguments in the context of "many nations." This would extend the previous research on the relative efficiency of agricultural policy instruments (e.g., Wallace;Gardner, 1983Gardner, , 1987DeGorter and Meilke;Bullock;Moschini and Skokai;Alston, Carter and Smith;Gisser;Bullock, Salhofer and Kola). Finally, while previous theoretical work on trade liberalization has often focused on infinitesimal changes in policy instruments (e.g., Vousden;Neary, 1992, 1996;Neary;Turunen-Red andWoodland, 1991, 2000), it would be useful to extend such an analysis to cover the more realistic case of discrete changes in government policy.l…”

“…Canada and Europe have also implemented production quotas (e.g., in the dairy sector). As a result, government pricing policy and trade policy have distorted agricultural markets (e.g., Wallace;Gardner, 1983Gardner, , 1987De Gorter and Meilke;Alston and Ilurd;Bullock;Moschini and Sckokai;Salhofer). Starting in the 1990s, there has been a general move toward reductions in the role of price support programs in agriculture and a greater reliance on markets.…”

This article analyzes the efficiency of partial market liberalization and policy reform with an application to the European dairy sector. In a second best world, partial moves toward market liberalization are not always efficiency improving. We develop a general equilibrium model to investigate the efficiency implications of discrete changes in government policy. The analysis covers price and quantity instruments used in both domestic and trade policy. We derive simple conditions under which partial market liberalization is efficiency improving. We apply the approach to agricultural policy reform in the European dairy sector and identify market liberalization scenarios that are "not" efficiency improving.

Os produtores familiares foram prejudicados pelas políticas de substituição de importações e de modernização da agricultura, sofrendo com elevadas transferências de renda para fora do setor. Uma forma de ressarci-los seria implementando uma política de estabilização de renda que asseguraria rentabilidade estável aos produtores. O objetivo deste artigo é determinar os benefícios de uma política de estabilização de renda implementada na agricultura familiar para agricultores e consumidores de arroz, feijão, milho e mandioca, e os custos para agricultores comerciais nesses mercados. Utilizou-se o modelo de Newbery e Stiglitz, que considera a redução do risco com a política de estabilização de renda. A política implicaria aumento de receita para produtores familiares. Os benefícios de transferência superariam os de eficiência para produtores familiares e consumidores. Os benefícios para a agricultura familiar superariam os custos da agricultura comercial com a política nos mercados de feijão, mandioca e milho, e os benefícios totais superariam os custos totais nos mercados de feijão e milho, ao contrário ocorreria nos mercados de arroz e mandioca, embora neste fosse pequena a diferença. Conclui-se que a implementação da política seria viável nos mercados onde a participação da agricultura familiar fosse maior que a da comercial e naqueles importadores.

“…First, from a social welfare perspective, there is substantive interest in the efficacy of government policy toward policy goals. Considerable effort in agricultural economics has been devoted to this theme, with key contributions (e.g., Gardner, 1983;Chambers, 1985) emanating from Wallace (1962). Second, despite this effort in agricultural economics, the literature on organic farming development remains mostly isolated and somewhat disenfranchised.…”
