Targeting of U.S. Agricultural Export Subsidies: A Theoretical Analysis

The United States has proposed that all direct and most indirect agricultural export subsidies be eliminated by the year 2000. Prospects for success depend on major agricultural exporters reaching a consensus that elimination of the subsidies would be mutually beneficial. The report illustrates a methodology that can be refined to show whether the United States has the power to influence other exporters, especially the European Community (EC).
