“…On the basis of the analysis, policy initiatives for food security should be aimed at increasing the economic access to food and nutrients by controlling domestic food prices though price or trade policies (Cioffi, Santeramo, & Vitale, 2011;Dal Bianco et al, 2016;Santeramo & Cioffi, 2012). A way to achieve this goal is to stimulate the economic growth by providing the poorest segments of society with economic opportunities.…”

“…The importance of understanding the trade effects of NTMs in agri‐food sector is attested by the large and increasing number of papers hosted in top journals (e.g. Hooker and Caswell, ; Wilson and Otsuki, ; Dawson, ; Sheldon, ; Olper and Raimondi, ; Cioffi et al ., ; Santeramo and Cioffi, ; Beckman and Arita, ). In particular, the number of studies on trade effects of NTMs has significantly increased since 2000 (14 studies available up to 2000, while 140 studies published up to 2017), an upward trend that is parallel to the upward trend in the number of implemented NTMs (from 1.09 million of NTMs notified in 2000, to 4.35 million in 2017).…”

The increasing policy interest and academic debates on non-tariff measures (NTMs) has stimulated a growing literature on how NTMs affect agri-food trade. The empirical literature provides contrasting and heterogeneous evidence, with some studies supporting the 'standards as catalysts' view, and others favouring the 'standards as barriers' explanation. To the extent that NTMs can influence trade, understanding the prevailing effect, and the motivations behind one effect or the other, is a pressing issue. We review a large body of empirical evidence on the effect of NTMs on agri-food trade and conduct a meta-analysis to disentangle potential determinants of heterogeneity in estimates. Our findings show the role played by the publication process and by study-specific assumptions. Some characteristics of the studies are correlated with positive significant estimates, others covary with negative significant estimates. Overall, we found that the effects of NTMs vary across types of NTM, proxies used for NTMs, and levels of detail of studies. The estimated effects are also influenced by methodological issues and publication processes.The importance of understanding the trade effects of NTMs in agri-food sector is attested by the large and increasing number of papers hosted in top journals (e.g.

“…That is, below a certain threshold, retailers are free to increase prices and hence margins, since consumers still perceive search costs as higher than the increased price (Ben Kaabia & Gil, ; Borenstein et al., ). Additional causes of APT have been debated, including substitutability between agricultural and other marketing inputs (Bettendorf & Verboven, ; McCorriston, Morgan, & Rayner, ), adjustment costs (Azzam, ; Chavas & Mehta, ), product perishability (Santeramo, ; Santeramo & von Cramon‐Taubadel, ; Ward, ), policy intervention (Brümmer, Von Cramon‐Taubadel, & Zorya, ; Cacchiarelli, Lass, & Sorrentino, ; Esposti & Listorti, ; Ihle, Brümmer, & Thompson, ; Kinnucan & Forker, ; Lee & Gómez, ; Santeramo & Cioffi, ), asymmetric information (Bailey & Brorsen, ), and inventory costs (Reagan & Weitzman, ). Tifaoui and von Cramon‐Taubadel () recently investigated the impact of the temporary sale price (TSP) on PT for butter in Germany, arguing that the “valleys” generated from TSP increase the speed and asymmetry of vertical PT.…”

Price transmission dynamics for quality‐certified food products: A comparison between conventional and organic fluid milk in Italy

et al. 2018

Despite the vast number of works investigating price transmission (PT) processes in diverse agrifood markets, very little has been said about quality-differentiated products. In this paper, we compare the conventional and organic fluid milk sectors in Italy to better understand the economic organization and functioning of one of the most important agrifoods in Italy. Using a unique dataset featuring processor and retail (scanner) prices for the two types of milk, we estimate Momentum-Threshold Autoregressive models to account for asymmetric price movements in both sectors, but the PT results are eventually symmetric. The Vector Error Correction Model estimations and Impulse Response Functions analysis provide significant insights into the differences between the two markets. [EconLit citations: Q130, Q110, C590]
