Abstract

Using farm‐level panel data, we directly estimate the impacts of the Korea–Chile Free Trade Agreements (FTA) on the revenue of the firms in South Korea that faced greater imports—agricultural producers as the FTA induced greater imports of fruits and vegetables from Chile to South Korea. As expected, we find the negative effect of the increased imports on the total crop revenue and profit of the farms. We model and examine the differential impacts and find that the negative effects are greater for high‐revenue farms. We document the evidence of the lack of immediate adjustment as a response to the negative shocks from the trade agreement. À l'aide de données de panel au niveau des exploitations agricoles, nous estimons directement les impacts de l'Accord de libre‐échange (ALE) entre la Corée et le Chili sur les revenus des entreprises sud‐coréennes ayant fait face à une augmentation des importations ‐ en particulier les producteurs agricoles, puisque l'ALE a entraîné une hausse des importations de fruits et légumes du Chili vers la Corée du Sud. Comme prévu, nous constatons un effet négatif de cette augmentation des importations sur le revenu total des cultures et sur les profits des exploitations agricoles. Nous modélisons et examinons les impacts différenciés, et observons que les effets négatifs sont plus prononcés pour les exploitations à revenus élevés. Nous mettons en évidence l'absence d'ajustement immédiat en réponse aux chocs négatifs causés par l'accord commercial.
