Trade Implications of the Food Security Act of 1985
分析1985年美国《食品安全法案》如何通过降低贷款利率、营销贷款条款及出口补贴等措施提升农产品出口竞争力，并评估这些政策对贸易模式的影响。
One of the central themes of the Food Security Act of 1985 (FSA85) is to make the United States more competitive in exporting agricultural commodities. The means to achieve this objective include lower loan rates, marketing loan provisions, and export credits and subsidies. The comprehensive analysis of the FSA85 (Womack et. al.) has taken these programs into account in making estimates of U.S. prices, exports and other performance variables. The purpose of this paper is to focus attention on the foreign import demand and competitor supplies that underlie the U.S. export estimates and to evaluate the responsiveness of trade patterns to the changes in U.S. policies.
