“…Palma and Ward (2010) have studied the U.S. demand for cut flowers, potted flowering plants, and dry/artificial and outdoor flowers using simulation analysis to decompose demand into market penetration and buying frequency. Muhammad et al have analyzed the effects of different tariff regimes on the EU demand for imported cut flowers (Muhammad, 2009;Muhammad, Amponsah, and Dennis, 2010;Muhammad, D'Souza, and Amponsah, 2013).…”

This research applies an inverse, almost ideal demand model with seasonal adjustments to estimate price–quantity relationships among major cut flower species traded at the Dutch flower auctions. Trigonometric functions are used as a flexible and efficient alternative to standard seasonal dummies. The estimated price and scale flexibilities were all found to be statistically significant with signs as expected. The demand for all flower groups is inflexible, and most of them are quantity substitutes. Based on the estimated values for price and scale flexibilities, a potential for market timing seems to exist, i.e., flower producers may use easily available calendar information to predict prices and quantities.

“…A number of studies have explored the utilization of the preferential regimes and assessed the impacts of those regimes on agricultural or seafood trade flows (Guillotreau & Peridy, 2000;Asche, 2001;Brester, Marsh, & Smith, 2002;Panagariya, 2002;Bureau, Chakir, and Gallezot 2007;Muhammad, 2007 andAgostino, Demaria, and Trivieri 2010;Muhammad, Amponsah, and Dennis 2010;Serrano, and Pinilla 2014). Of them, Bureau, Chakir, and Gallezot (2007) provided evidence of the high utilization of the EU and the US GSP schemes in the agricultural, food, and fisheries sectors.…”

Shipping the good fish out? An empirical study on the EU seafood imports under the EU’s Generalized System of Preferences

Bauman (2004) explored the Alchian-Allen result of change in a per-unit tax or shipping fee in an n-good world. His approach was developed in this study to evaluate the impact of the EU Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) on the relative EU's demand for seafood quality. We first explored the theoretical Alchian-Allen result of change in ad valorem tariffs in an n-good world, and then tested this result in the empirical study. The theoretical analysis suggests that whether a reduced ad valorem tariff in an n-good case raises the relative demand for high-value goods depends not only on the substitutability between high-value and low-value goods but also on the substitutability between these similar goods with their weak substitutes. In the empirical sections, we first estimated the elasticities of the substitutions and then used these elasticities to evaluate the quality composition of the EU's seafood imports from the beneficiary countries. The empirical results in general confirm the occurrence of "shipping the good fish out" due to the reduced tariff rates under the EU's GSP arrangements.

“…This research contributes to a broader literature on the implications of free trade agreements and specific agricultural sectors (Lee, Seale, and Jierwiriyapant 1990; Muhammad, Amponsah, and Dennis 2010; Cardamone 2011; Muhammad, Countryman, and Heerman 2018). Muhammad, Countryman, and Heerman (2018) examined Japanese beef demand by source and the implications of tariff reforms in the Japan-Australia Economic Partnership Agreement.…”

“…Cardamone (2011) examined the impact of preferential trade agreements on monthly exports of specific fruits to the EU and found that agreement effects varied by commodity. Muhammad, Amponsah, and Dennis (2010) analyzed the impacts of preferential arrangements for developing countries on EU demand for imported cut flowers. Lee, Seale, and Jierwiriyapant (1990) examined Japanese import demand for citrus and how more liberal trade could impact U.S. citrus exports relative to exports from competing countries like Brazil and Israel.…”

Bilateral trade agreements between Japan and major wine-exporting countries have resulted in tariff eliminations in Japan. This raises questions about how tariffs affect the competitiveness of wine-exporting countries. The generalized dynamic Rotterdam model was used in estimating Japanese wine demand by source. Estimates were then used to project the impact of tariffs on imports of Australian, Chilean, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and U.S. wine. Tariff reductions primarily benefit affected countries, with limited adverse effects on competing countries. The elimination of tariffs on U.S. wine should offset any losses from competing trade agreements.
