Domestic Farm Policy and the Gains from Trade

Andrew Schmitz, Dale Sigurdson and Otto Doering

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1986, vol. 68, issue 4, 820-827

Abstract: This paper assesses the extent to which the gains from agricultural trade are influenced by both U.S. domestic policy and tariff and nontariff trade barriers. It shows theoretically that the volume of trade can be substantial but the gains nonexistent. Empirical results, along with rent-seeking arguments, support the no-gains-from-trade hypothesis.
