An epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in a FMD-free country with large exports of livestock and livestock products would result in profound economic damage. This could be reduced by rapid and efficient control of the disease spread. The objectives of this study were to estimate the economic impact of a hypothetical FMD outbreak in Denmark based on changes to the economic assumptions of th...

Temporal index decomposition analysis and spatial index decomposition analysis were applied to understand the driving forces of the emissions embodied in China's exports and net exports during 2002-2011, respectively. The accumulated emissions embodied in exports accounted for approximately 30% of the total emissions in China; although the contribution of the sectoral total emissions intensity ...

Exports have become an increasingly important source of revenue for both national and regional firms in the United States. U.S. exports are rising rapidly, especially from the Midwest. As a result, national and district firms must be ever more attentive to changes in U.S. export markets. One such change is the rapid growth of U.S. export markets in the developing nations of East Asia and Latin ...

Agricultural phosphorus (P) use is intricately linked to food security and water quality. Globalization of agricultural systems and changing diets clearly alter these relationships, yet their specific influence on non-renewable P reserves is less certain. We assessed P fertilizer used for production of food crops, livestock and biofuels in the US agricultural system, explicitly comparing the do...

Uutilizing unit root and cointegration techniques, we find out of 96 countries only 8 show unidirectional or bidirectional causality from exports to GDP with positive relationship between the two variables. Causality from GDP to Exports with positive relationship between the two variables is found for only 9 countries.

Assessment of export opportunities for softwood products from the North has been hampered by a lack of information describing foreign sales from the region. This article describes the value and volume of softwood products exported from the northern United States for 1980 through 1985. Roundwood productsmostly spruce logs from Maine and Vermont -are the largest northern softwood export. Canada, ...

India was largely insulated from the world trading system for more than four decades after independence in 1947. Pursuit of an inward-oriented development strategy, rationalized both by a wary, almost hostile, attitude towards foreign trade, technology and investment, and by pessimism about export markets, inevitably led to India becoming marginalized in world trade. During the period of rapid ...

This paper uses a static and dynamic gravity model of trade to investigate the link between German development aid and exports from Germany to the recipient countries. The findings indicate that in the long run German aid is associated with an increase in exports of goods that is larger than the aid flow, with a point estimate of 140 percent of the aid given. In addition, the evolution of the e...

This paper evaluates the real-time performance of the growth rate of the DSE-ECRI Indian leading index for exports for predicting cyclical downturns and upturns in the growth rate of Indian exports. The index comprises the 36-country real effective exchange rate and leading indices of India’s 17 major trading partners. Leading indices of India’s major trading partners were developed at the Econ...
