“…Switzerland can be seen as an eminent example for restrictive TRQs (Bureau et al, 2019), as described in section 3. Some previous studies have specifically analysed the effects of TRQs on domestic producer prices of agricultural products, such as Himics et al (2020) for Swiss beef imports, Soon and Thompson (2019) for South Korean rice imports and Schmitz (2018) for US sugar imports. However, as we discuss in the next subsection, few have examined the effects of TRQs, especially seasonal TRQs, on domestic producer prices intra-annual and disaggregated within the vegetable sector.…”

Causal estimation of the short-term effects of tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) on vegetable producer prices is hampered by the large variety and different growing seasons of vegetables and is therefore rarely performed. We quantify the effects of Swiss seasonal TRQs on domestic producer prices of a variety of vegetables based on a difference-in-differences estimation using a novel dataset of weekly producer prices for Switzerland and neighbouring countries. We find that TRQs increase prices of most vegetables by more than 20% above the prices in neighbouring countries during the main harvest time for most vegetables and even more than 50% for some vegetables. The effects are stronger for more perishable vegetables and for conventionally produced ones compared with organic vegetables. However, we do not find clear-cut effects of TRQs on the week-to-week price volatility of vegetables although the overall lower price volatility in Switzerland compared with neighbouring countries might be a result of the TRQ system in place.

“…Two indicators of freight transportation demand were used, GDP and US international trade volume (total US imports and exports or TRADE). The monthly GDP data were obtained from IHS Markit, a private analytics firm whose monthly GDP index has been used in prior recent studies (Hoda et al, 2020;Soon and Thompson, 2019). Finally, the import and export data were obtained from the US Census Bureau.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the long-term cointegrating relationship between ocean, rail, truck and air cargo freight rates, as well as the short-term dynamics between these four series. The authors also test the predictive ability of these freight rates on major economic indicators.Design/methodology/approachThe authors employ a vector error-correction model using 16 years of monthly time series data on freight rate data in the ocean, truck, rail and air cargo sectors to examine the interrelationship between these series as well as their interrelationship with major economic indicators.FindingsThe authors find that truck freight rates and as well as dry bulk freight rates have the strongest predictive power over other transportation freight rates as well as for the four major economic indicators used in this study. The authors find that dry bulk freight rates lead other freight rates in the short-run but lag other freight rates in the long run.Originality/valueWhile ocean freight rate time series have been examined in a large number of studies, little research has been done on the interrelationship between ocean freight rates and the freight rates of other modes of transportation. Through the use of data on five different freight rate series, the authors are able to assess which rates lead and which rates lag each other and thus assist future researchers and practitioners forecast freight rates. The authors are also one of the few studies to assess the predictive power of non-ocean freight rates on major economic indicators.
