Abstract

This paper uses a model of world agricultural trade to examine the effect of reform and trade liberalization by the republics of the former Soviet Union on their agricultural production, consumption, and trade. Reform involves the creation of a well-functioning and free-trading market economy. The main empirical requirement is computing measures of total support to agricultural producers and consumers (producer and consumer subsidy equivalents), which serve as the model's policy variables. The estimates indicate that reform would decrease the republics' aggregate of grain, but increase imports of soybean products.
