The Political Economy of Agricultural Pricing Policy: Latin America by Anne O. Krueger,Maurice W. Schiff,Alberto Valdés Pdf

This new series of comparative studies from the World Bank examines how policies have affected agriculture in eighteen developing countries. It considers the impact of both direct policies toward agriculture and of general development policies on incentives confronting agricultural producers and on agriculture's contribution to development. It is shown that general policies can have effects even more powerful than direct policies on incentives. Price discrimination is estimated against agriculture in individual countries, how it has changed over time, and the political-economic factors that guided the evolution. The authors evaluate the effects of this price discrimination on such key macroeconomic variables as foreign exchange earnings, agricultural output, and income distribution. A full range of country experience is drawn upon to give insight into the motivations of policymakers, the economic and political factors determining agricultural interventions, and the attempts to reform unsuccessful policies.

Government Intervention in Latin American Agriculture, 1982-87 by Donna H. Roberts Pdf

This study examines the pattern of government intervention in the agricultural markets of the six largest economies in Latin America during 1982-87. Producer and consumer subsidy equivalents (PSE/CSE's) are used to summarize the effects of a wide range of commodity, sector, and economy-wide policies that can be compared across commodities, across countries, and across time. Six chapters provide background material on the economy and policies of each country along with documented subsidy equivalent estimates. During 1982-87, Latin American policymakers abandoned the statist approach to development, but adhered to import-substitution strategies, which required some government intervention. In addition to commodity specific and/or sectoral policies, economy-wide measures -- particularly exchange rate policies -- had a decided effect on transfers to and from the agricultural sector in all six countries.

The Political Economy of Agrarian Change in Latin America by Matilda Baraibar Norberg Pdf

This book makes an original contribution to the discussion about agro-food exporting countries’ governmental policy. It presents a historicized and internationally contextualized exploration of the political economy of agrarian change in three Latin American countries: Argentina, Praguay, and Uruguay. By comparatively examining how these states have acted in a context of global driven market forces and historically formed institutions, the monograph illuminates the differing capacities of state autonomy under the present era of globalized agriculture.

Structural Adjustment and the Agricultural Sector in Latin America and the Caribbean by John Weeks Pdf

As a result of the regional debt crisis, most governments of Latin America in the 1980s entered into a process of profound policy change, from an import substitution oriented strategy to a focus upon export-promotion, with an emphasis upon market liberalisation. According to mainstream economic theory, the effect of this shift would be to favour agriculture. This book, with contributors from Latin America and Europe, surveys the results on agriculture of a decade of policy change, and to produce new and unexpected insights.

Trade, Exchange Rate, and Agricultural Pricing Policies in Argentina by Adolfo Sturzenegger,Wylian Otrera,Beatriz Mosquera Pdf

From the twentieth century until World War II, Argentina was a leading exporter of agricultural goods. In the early 1980s, agriculture accounted for roughly 57 percent of the country's total exports. During the period covered by this study (1961 to 1985), Argentina's trade policy, which was carried out through export taxes on the main agricultural and agroindustrial products and through industrial protection, was designed to discriminate against most exports vis-a-vis imports. This study examines the impact of trade and exchange rate policies on wheat, corn, sorghum, soybeans, sunflower seeds and beef production. One of its prinicipal findings is that direct price intervention substantially reduced producer prices and that industrial protection policies and overvaluation of the real exchange rate taxed agriculture even more than direct interventions. The study also explores the political factors underlying the establishment of policies that had these negative effects. The main conclusion is that external events, such as the Great Depression and World War II led to a fall in export prices and to higher import prices. Policies were established in the post war period to maintain the protection to import-substitutes and the taxation of agriculture. Export taxes were seen as a way of keeping domestic food prices low and of improving fiscal equilibrium by producing larger tax revenues.

The Economic Development of Latin America in the Twentieth Century by André A. Hofman Pdf

Hofman, a researcher with the Chile-based Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, uses growth accounting methods and previously unavailable long-term series data to assess the economic performance of the region during the century from a comparative and historical perspective. In particular he compares Latin American economies to those of advanced capitalist economies, to newly industrialized economies, and to Spain and Portugal because of the historical ties. He looks at the reasons for the poor or negative growth during the 1980s and the apparent recovery in the 1990s and at such problems as debt, income inequality, high inflation, cyclical instability, and political and policy instability.
