Domestic Farm Policy and the Gains from Trade

Year: 1986

Type: article

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.
