At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Fifty Years of Distortions in Worls Food Markets
1. Fifty Years of Distortions in
fy f
World Food Markets

University of Adelaide, World Bank and CEPR

Financial assistance from the World Bank Trust Funds, particularly from DfID, BNPP and the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center , plus in-knd
support from IFPRI, are gratefully acknowledged, as are the contributions of the country case study authors and the Washington- and Adelaide-based

2. Background
In 1958 the Haberler Report on Trends in International
Trade warned the GATT Contracting parties of the
threat of agricultural protection growth in rich countries
D. Gale Johnson, in his 1973 book on World Agriculture
in Disarray, despaired at the persistence of:
high agricultural protection in OECD countries,
anti-agric and anti-trade policies of developing countries, and
the tendency for both sets of countries to insulate their domestic
y
food market from international price fluctuations, thereby
exacerbating price volatility for the rest of the world
Disarray worsened for another dozen years, with agric
protection growth in Europe North America and Japan
Europe,
peaking in 1986, thanks to an agric export subsidy war
Meanwhile, some middle-income economies ‘overshot’,
going from taxing their farmers to protecting them from
import competition (e.g. Korea, Taiwan)
Raising concerns that other emerging economies may follow suit
3. Background (cont.)
However, since the mid-1980s some high-
income and developing countries (HICs and
DCs) have reformed somewhat
Mainly il t ll b t l
M i l unilaterally, but also partly in response to
tl i t
international pressures:
• the Uruguay Round,
g y ,
• WTO accession conditions,
• structural adjustment loan conditionality by IFIs
Has this i
H thi improved prospects for poorer
d t f
agrarian countries to export their way out of
poverty?
4. Three questions being addressed by
a World Bank research project
To what extent have developing economies moved
away from taxing agric. relative to other tradable
agric
sectors as they’ve grown?
and within the agric sector, what is happening to agric
protection from import competition in DCs, as compared with
DCs
HICs? And to agric support globally?
How has that affected global agric markets, economic
welfare and net farm incomes:
retrospectively (since the early 1980s)?
prospectively (ie, if remaining distortionary policies were
removed)?
What of the future, given the evolving domestic
politics, the Doha round struggles, and in view of the
recent hike in world food prices?
5. Analyses and elements of explanation
f policy t d up t th mid-1980s
for li trends to the id 1980
Anderson and Hayami (1986) on agric protection
growth in NE Asia compared with that in WE and US
Krueger, Schiff and Valdes (1988, 1991) on anti-agric
and anti-trade policies of 18 developing countries
Tyers and Anderson (1986, 1992) on the econ effects of
distortions to world food markets
Suggested the OECD countries’ agric policies depressed real
international food prices in early 1980s by 20%, but that
developing countries’ food policies almost fully offset that
(reducing the int l price depressing effect to just 1%)
int’l price-depressing
Together the domestic-market-insulating nature of those
anti-trade agric policies made international food prices >3 times
more volatile than they otherwise would have been in early ‘80s
y y
6. So empirical indicators need to show
what has happened in DCs and HICs to:
Anti- (or pro-)agricultural policy bias
intersectorally
Anti-trade bias within the agric sector
Import protection vs export taxation (or subsidies)
Dispersion of distortion rates across industries
within the agric sector
since welfare cost increases with dispersion
Insulation of the domestic market from
l f h d k f
volatility in the int’l agric marketplace
s ce the atte s exacerbated
since t e latter is e ace bated by t e former
the o e

Europe’s transition economies), plus a global overview book

time of causes, and of effects on inequality and poverty, of
chosen vs. alternative policies

10. Indicators estimated as part of the
World Bank research
We began with nominal rates of assistance
(NRAs) for major crop and livestock products
covering 70% of gross value of agric production at
undistorted prices in each of 75 focus countries
Also included are ‘guesstimates’ of NRAs for the
other 30%, plus non-product-specific assistance

apparent paradoxes:
China has remained close to self sufficient in
farm products over the past three decades
… yet was expected to experience rising import
dependence in food and fibre given its relatively
fibre,
low endowment of agric land per capita and rapid
industrialization
China’s commitments under WTO to cut agric
tariffs was expected to reduce agric self
sufficiency and add to farm household poverty
That hasn’t happened either. Instead, farm
household incomes have been rising in all deciles
and in all regions of that country

39. What have we learned?
Inter-sectoral anti-agricultural bias has declined
greatly,
greatly and their intra-agric sector anti-trade bias also
intra agric anti trade
has declined somewhat on average in DCs since 1980s
And pro-agric bias in HICs also has declined somewhat
But some reforming DCs have ‘overshot’, in the sense of
overshot
moving from RRA<0 to RRA>0 as their incomes rose
But, within agric, the dispersion across product NRAs is
still high in many countries, as it is across countries
countries
much resource misallocation within and between countries still
Also, trade measures continue to contribute to int’l food

46. What do these CGE results imply?
Economic welfare cost to world (to DCs) of global
distortions to goods markets has fallen by 58% (46%)
since early 1980s
and DCs gained disproportionately from reforms since early
1980s, and would again from completing the process (0.9% vs
0.6% for HICs)
Of that prospective gain to DCs, 5/6ths would be due to
agric policy reform, of which 2/3rds would come from
HIC policies
means DCs have a much bigger stake in WTO’s Doha round,
and esp. its agric negotiations, than previous analyses using
GTAP protection database suggest
• Why are DCs so reluctant to engage in DDA and commit?
DC farmers have gained since early 1980s, and would
be main gainers from completing the reform (5.6%
boost to ag value added vs 1.9% for nonag VA)

51. Are WTO bindings helping to prevent agric
protection growth in developing countries?
Most DCs have very high binding overhang in
agric (gap between WTO-bound and applied
tariff or domestic subsidy), following the Uruguay
Round Agreement on Agriculture
g g
China has little overhang on tariffs on average,
but plenty where it matters, and also lots of
p y
overhang in bindings of domestic farm subsidies
52. China’s
Chi ’ WTO commitments allow considerable
it t ll id bl
scope for agric protection growth
Out-of-quota tariffs are high (currently
prohibitive):
65% for grains
50% for sugar
g
40% for cotton
And China is allowed up to 8.5% product-
specific domestic support, plus another 8.5%
non-product-specific assistance (or more if
‘decoupled’ somewhat f
‘d l d’ h t from production)

54. If Chi chooses t k
China h to keep it RRA near
its
zero, will it push up int’l food prices?
China’s impact on int’l prices of food has
been less than for minerals and energy
because of low income elasticities of demand for
food and rising RRA over the past 3 decades
Now with China’s RAA close to zero, its
future agric import growth could accelerate
if it chooses not to follow Ja/Ko/Ta in
raising its NRAag continually over time
55.
56. Implications for WTO negotiations
Need large cuts to bound tariffs and subsidies so as to
reduce prospect of:
trend NRAag and RRA rising with incomes
continuing fluctuations around trend for product NRAs via
variable trade restrictions
Need to not only ban agric export subsidies but also
discipline agric export restrictions at WTO?
As a quid pro quo, abandon proposed ‘Special Products’
and ‘Special Safeguard Mechanism’ (which will add to ag
p g ( g
protection growth and to int’l food price volatility)?
and instead encourage DCs to pour more of their ag support into
ag R&D, rural education and infrastructure (via aid-for-trade?)
• C
Currently agric R&D is equiv. to just 0.3% NRA in DCs (1% in HICs)

Taking into account that the welfare cost of a distortion is
proportional to the square of its NRA or CTE
60. Variants of the Trade Restrictiveness Index
J. Anderson and P. Neary focused mostly on tariff equivalents
and import restrictiveness
As has the World Bank’s global monitoring report to date
Measured it from the viewpoints of welfare and trade reductions
(using estimated import demand elasticities for each product)
But an early Anderson/Bannister (1992) paper, and a chapter of
the Anderson/Neary 2005 book, look at PSEs and CSEs for
Mexican agric
algebra is complex, and requires domestic demand and supply
elasticities for each product
Lloyd (2008) simplifies the algebra, in part by being willing to
make assumptions about domestic demand and supply
elasticities
Enables the calculation of separate producer distortion index
and consumer distortion index for covered agric products (PDI
and CDI), and their combination (a welfare-reduction index,
WRI), all of which are >0
),
Also enables the calculation of a trade-reduction index (TRI)
61. Assumptions to make index calculations
possible with just NRAs and CTEs
For PDI (or CDI), assume price elasticities of domestic supply
(demand) are the same for each product, and cross-price
elasticities of supply (demand) are zero
l ti iti f l (d d)
For WRI and TRI, assume also that aggregate sectoral domestic
supply and demand elasticities (ignoring sign) are equal
All that s then needed are NRA and CTE estimates, and
that’s
production (consumption) valued at undistorted prices to serve
as weights to aggregate across parts of or the whole product
range
And,
And for TRI need to nominate the trade status of each industry
TRI,
While these elasticity assumptions are limiting, this at least takes
us some way towards what a formal PE or CGE model can do in
terms of capturing the welfare effect of a dispersed structure of
NRAs within the agricultural sector

Africa’s NRA is zero in 1985-89, but
that s
that’s when its WRI is at its highest
(because large increase in NRAm meant it
offset NRAx but added to WRI) )
This is also why Africa’s TRI spikes in the
1985-89 period (next slide)

decline for Asia (whereas it turns up again

68. What have we learned?
K/S/V’s inter-sectoral anti-agricultural bias has declined
greatly, and their intra-agric sector anti-trade bias also has
declined somewhat on average in DC since 1980s
some hat a e age
But some reforming DCs have ‘overshot’, in the sense of moving
from RRA<0 to RRA>0 as their incomes rose, rather than stopping
at neutral policies (RRA=0)
p ( )
Because on import side, agric protection growth continues
Domestic market insulation continues
Legally possible because of import tariff and export subsidy binding
overhang at WTO, and no discipline on export restrictions
WTO
Within agric, there is still much dispersion across product NRAs
in many countries
reflected in PDIs (and CDIs) being much higher than NRAs (and CTEs)
Next question: How far have these reforms reduced
the disarray in world agricultural markets?
