Abstract

The recent breakup of the Soviet Union has brought hope and opportunity to many Americans. It has also brought the possibility of new competition to some US agricultural and resource-based industries. Recent concern in the western regions of the United States and Canada has centered on the increased possibility of salmon exports from the Russia Far East to traditional Western markets fueled, in a large part, from Russia- Japanese joint ventures. A dynamic econometric model of the world salmon markets was utilized to simulate future Russian salmon export scenarios. It was found that the Alaska pink salmon industry may suffer devastating consequences from increased Russian exports of pink salmon while the sockeye industry will suffer somewhat less from increased Russian exports of sockeye salmon. © 1994 by John Wiley & sons, Inc.
