ESTIMATES OF THE EFFECTS OF CANADIAN TARIFF ON FRESH PEACH IMPORTS FROM THE UNITED-STATES Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • A spatial equilibrium single period model of the CanadianUnited States fresh peach trade was constructed to evaluate the effect of the Canadian tariff on United States fresh peach exports to Canada, Canadian production, consumption and prices. The model consisted of fifteen United States and two Canadian producing regions, thirtyfive United States and six Canadian consuming cities. Using historical trade patterns some but not all United States producing regions were permitted to ship to Canada and there were no Canadian shipments to the United States. Comparisons of the nontariff with the tariff solution vectors of production, trade, consumption and prices indicated that the tariff had only marginal effects on Canadian fresh peach imports from the United States and that Canadian consumption quantities and prices were only moderately affected. Un modle du march aux pches au Canada et aux EtatsUnis fut construit pendant une seule priode afin d' valuer les effets du tarif Canadien sur les exportations de pches Amricaines au Canada, la production Canadienne, la consommation et les prix au dtail. Le, modle fut compos de 15 rgions de production Amricaines et de deux rgions Canadiennes, ainsi que 35 villes de consommation d' Amrique et six villes de Canada. En utilisant des donnes commerciales et historiques, quelquesunes, mais pas toutes les rgions de production, avaient le droit d' exporter au Canada, et il n' y avait pas d' exportation aux EtatsUnis. Nous nous sommes servis de ce modle pour comparer les importations Canadiennes en franchise, la production, la consommation et les prix rsultants d' autres prix o les tarifs s' appliquaient. Les rsultats ont montr que le tarif Canadien affectait peine les importations de pches fraches des EtatsUnis et que la consommation Canadienne et les niveaux de prix ne subissaient qu' une lgre modification. 1987 by the Canadian Agricultural Economics Society
