    The effect of preferential trade agreements on monthly fruit exports to the European Union (2011)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-11-24
    Description: This study assesses the effect of preferential trade agreements on monthly exports of fresh grapes, pears, apples, oranges and mandarins to the European Union (EU) during 2001–2004, using a gravity model. Preference margins are calculated to include quotas and the entry price system, and the model recognises that countries may have a choice among preferential schemes. The econometric methodology controls for heterogeneity, endogeneity and zero-trade flows. The effect of EU preferential policies is found to vary by commodity. The Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) seems to increase exports to the EU of fresh grapes only, while exports to the EU of oranges are favoured by the Cotonou Agreement. Regional trade agreements appear effective in expanding EU-bound exports from eligible countries for all fruits except oranges.

    Is embedding entailed in consumer valuation of food safety characteristics? (2011)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-11-24
    Description: Consumers' preferences for food safety characteristics are investigated with a particular focus on the existence of an embedding effect. Embedding exists if consumer valuation of food safety is insensitive to scope. We conduct between-attribute external tests for embedding in two choice experiments concerning the value of food safety attributes in minced pork and chicken breasts. We find no evidence of embedding neither when using food safety attributes that are not close substitutes and which exhibit both private and public good characteristics, nor when using food safety attributes that are closer substitutes and which have primarily private good characteristics.

    Making the 'right' choice based on experiments: regulatory decisions for food and health (2011)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-11-24
    Description: This article shows how experiments revealing information about food quality and safety can contribute to regulatory debates on food and health. After detailing the motivations of regulation for the food sector, we underline the limits of theoretical welfare analysis. Despite challenges from behavioural economics, cost–benefit analysis using experimental results can complement theoretical analysis. In a brief review of laboratory and field experiments with food, we discuss their relative strengths and weaknesses and suggest an analytical approach of how to integrate experimental data into welfare analysis. An empirical application quantifies and compares the welfare impact of health information and a subsidy for fish.

    Intangible expenses: a solution to increase the French wine industry performance? (2011)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-11-24
    Description: This paper presents an empirical investigation of the link between intangible expenses of French wine companies and their financial performance. A flexible moment-based approach is used to analyse the impact of tangible and intangible expenses on the mean, variance and skewness of profit. Econometric evidence shows that a high level of intangible expenses has a positive impact on performance by increasing the expected profit and reducing variance risk. A lower level of intangible expenses reduces risk and mean of profit of corporations. This study provides insights on the use of intangible expenses as a risk management tool.

    Corporate social responsibility in the food sector (2011)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-11-24
    Description: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is of high relevance for food companies as this sector has a strong impact and a high dependence on the economy, the environment and on society. CSR's threats and opportunities are increasingly shifting from the single-firm level to food supply chains and food networks. This induces substantial challenges for the future due to firm heterogeneity and the associated diversity in CSR approaches.

    Experimental methods and the welfare evaluation of policy lotteries (2011)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-11-24
    Description: Policies impose lotteries of outcomes on individuals, since we never know exactly what the effects of the policy will be. In order to evaluate alternative policies, we need to make assumptions about individual preferences, even before social welfare functions are applied. There are two broad ways in which experimental methods are used to evaluate policy. One is to use experiments to estimate individual preferences, valuations and beliefs and use those estimates as priors in policy evaluation. The other is to use randomisation to infer the effects of policy. The strengths, weaknesses and complementarities of these approaches are reviewed.

    Discounting and risk adjusting non-marginal investment projects (2011)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-11-24
    Description: Standard cost–benefit analyses and asset pricing theories are based on the assumption that investment projects have marginal impacts on the consumption flows of stakeholders, so that social values and prices are not affected. This may not be true for large projects, such as those related to climate change or to the implementation of infrastructure projects in developing countries. In this paper, we explore qualitatively and quantitatively the error that is made when using the standard evaluation methods for non-marginal projects. In particular, we discuss the importance of adapting the discount rate and the risk premium to the size of the investment projects under consideration.

    Looking into the future of agriculture in a changing climate (2011)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-11-24
    Description: Looking into the future of agriculture raises three challenging questions: How can agriculture deal with an uncertain future? How do local vulnerabilities and global disparities respond to this uncertain future? How should we prioritise adaptation to overcome the resulting future risks? This paper analyses the broad question of how climate change science may provide some insights into these issues. The data provided for the analysis are the product of our new research on global impacts of climate change in agriculture. The questions are analysed across world regions to provide some thoughts on policy development.
