Bilateral Harmonization of EC and U.S. Agricultural Policies
用一个国际贸易模型模拟欧盟和美国单边及同时调整农业政策的效果，发现虽然世界价格有时大幅变动，但交叉效应比自身效应小且有时模糊，从预算角度看合作是有利的。
Unilateral and simultaneous EC and U.S. agricultural policy changes are simulated with an international trade model. They are carried out involving three steps: (1) grains and feeds, (2) beef and dairy products, and (3) sugar. Both cross effects and own effects are examined on typical policy targets. Results suggest that while world prices are sometimes drastically altered, the magnitude of cross effects is small and sometimes ambiguous compared with own effects. Feed livestock linkages are dominant factors in the economic rationale behind the interactions between countries. The case for cooperation in this agricultural trade scenario is, however, supported by the evidence from at least a budget point of view.
