European Integration and Manufactures Import Demand: An Empirical Investigation of Ten European Countries

GERMAN ECONOMIC REVIEW, Issue 3 2002
Ray Barrell
This paper studies import demand in ten European countries over the period 1970,95, and our objective is to investigate whether the process of European integration has affected imports. We provide evidence for parametric change in traditional import demand equations, suggesting that important variables or structural factors are missing from the long-run equations. We present equations based on new trade theory, where effects of technology and foreign direct investment are present. Once we include these there is little evidence that the creation of the Single Market has directly increased aggregated imports in European countries. [source]

Food Import Demand in the Czech Republic

JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS, Issue 1 2000
Karel Janda
This paper provides an overview of Czech food import demand in the transition period of the 1990s. It provides econometric estimates of own- and cross-price elasticities as well as group expenditure elasticities of Czech import demand for sixteen lower level and four upper level food groups. Based on the Hausman test for endogeneity, which supported the hypothesis that Czech import prices were exogenously determined outside of the Czech economy, we estimated five demand models as direct-demand systems of the AIDS type. The econometric estimation of elasticities used bimonthly data from March 1993 to August 1997. [source]

The impact of multiple volatilities on import demand for U.S. commodities: the case of soybeans

AGRIBUSINESS : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL, Issue 2 2010
Qiang Zhang
The focus of this study is the effects of exchange rate, commodity price, and ocean freight cost risks on import demand with forward-futures markets. The case of U.S. and Brazilian soybeans is analyzed empirically using monthly data. A two-way error component two-stage least squares procedure for panel data is used for the analysis. Risk for these three effects is measured by the moving average of the standard deviation. Major soybean importers are sensitive to exchange rate risk. Importing countries in general are not sensitive to soybean price and ocean shipping cost risks for Brazilian or U.S. soybeans. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. [source]

Wheat demand in Japanese flour milling industry: a production theory approach

AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS, Issue 2 2001
Won W. Koo
Abstract A production approach based on the translog cost function is used to analyze import demand for wheat differentiated by class and country of origin in the Japanese wheat flour milling industry. Results indicate that US wheat faces strong competition in the Japanese wheat market, but its multiple classes and end-use characteristics enable the US to preserve the largest market share in Japan.

ESTIMATING IMPORT AND EXPORT DEMAND ELASTICITIES FOR MAURITIUS AND SOUTH AFRICA

AUSTRALIAN ECONOMIC PAPERS, Issue 3 2010
SEEMA NARAYAN
In this paper, we re-estimate the import and the export demand functions for Mauritius and South Africa using time series data. We use the bounds tests for cointegration and find evidence of a long-run relationship between import demand, income and prices for both countries. Our long run elasticities reveal that domestic income and relative prices have significant effects on the import demand for both countries, with income being the most important determinant. Furthermore, we find that while South Africa's export demand is not responsive to relative prices or income; for Mauritius income is statistically significant. [source]
