Rent seeking in North-South agricultural trade
研究了发展中国家在乌拉圭回合谈判中未系统游说发达国家农业自由化的原因，发现部分发展中国家农业生产者从发达国家农业扭曲中获益并游说维持现状，以木薯和糖贸易为例。
Until the Uruguay Round of the GATT negotiations, LDCs have not lobbied systematically for DC agricultural trade liberalization either individually or as a group, despite the strong probability that such liberalization would increase LDC income. The paper reviews previous hypotheses for this behaviour and identifies another explanation. DC agricultural distortions sometimes result in income transfers to a group of LDC agricultural producers who lobby both at home and abroad for the continuation of the DC distortions. Examples from cassava and sugar trade are discussed.
