The impact of increasing non-agricultural market access on EU demand for imported fish: implications for Lake Victoria chilled fillet exports
估计了欧盟对特定来源冷藏鱼片的进口需求函数,并预测扩大市场准入对非洲国家出口的影响,发现关税降至零时欧盟总进口增加4.1%,维多利亚湖冷藏鱼片进口增加2.2%。
Import demand functions for origin-specific chilled fish fillets to the EU using a Rotterdam-type production model are estimated. Results are used to project the impact of the EU expanding market access to non-African countries. The preference erosion argument suggests that the lower tariffs will erode the competitive position of African countries; however, when the total impact of prices is considered, expanding preferential access may result in increased imports from African countries. If tariffs are reduced to zero, the total EU imports are projected to increase by 4.1 per cent resulting in a 2.2 per cent increase in chilled fillet imports from Lake Victoria.
