| description |
This working paper summarizes the annual
estimates, for each of the world's main high-income
countries, of key distortion indicators defined in Anderson
et al. (2008), and provides some summary statistics for the
group's estimates. It begins with tables for the
countries of Western Europe, followed by Japan, the United
States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Shorter versions
for subsets of countries are reproduced also as Appendixes
in Anderson, Lattimore, Lloyd and MacLaren (2008), Gardner
(2008), Honma and Hayami (2008), and Josling (2008). Four
tables are provided for each country: (a) the nominal rate
of assistance to individual farm products covered in the
study and their weighted average, using as weights
production valued at undistorted prices; (b) the relative
rate of assistance to producers of agricultural (relative to
non-agricultural) tradable, again using as weights
production valued at undistorted prices, and the component
parts of the Relative Rate of Assistance (RRA) calculation;
(c) the weights themselves for individual covered farm
products and for the residual non-covered group of products,
shown as percentages and so they sum to 100 percent; and (d)
the trade status of each covered product each year. In the
case of the European Union (EU) countries of Western Europe,
the trade status is assumed to be that of the EU membership
in any given year, since the Nominal Rate of Assistance
(NRA) for each product is assumed to be the same for each EU
member (with the membership growing progressively from
initially 6 to 9 (from 1973), 12 (from 1986), and 15 (from
1995). The average NRAs for all covered products differ
across EU member countries though, because of their
different weights for each product in their national value
of agricultural production. |
