| Summary: | This working paper summarizes annual
estimates of covered product Nominal Rate of Assistance
(NRAs), for each of the focus economies of Europe's
transition economies, their key distortion indicators
defined in Anderson et al. (2008), and provides some summary
statistics for the region's estimates. Four tables are
provided for each country: (a) the NRA to individual farm
products covered in the study and their weighted average,
using as weights production valued at undistorted prices;
(b) the RRA to producers of agricultural tradable, again
using as weights production valued at undistorted prices,
and the component parts of the 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. The NRA in
the case of a product having just its output price distorted
by government policies is the percentage by which the
domestic producer price exceeds the price that would prevail
under free markets, that is, the border price appropriately
adjusted to account for differences in product quality,
transport costs, processing costs, etc. A negative value
indicates the domestic price is below that comparable border price. |
