Resumen
Descripción
This study uses a stochastic simulation approach based on a partial equilibrium structural
econometric model of the world fiber market to examine the effects of a removal of
U.S. cotton programs on the world market. The effects on world cotton prices and African
export earnings were analyzed. The results suggest that on average an elimination
of U.S. cotton programs would lead to a marginal increase in the world cotton prices
thus resulting in minimal gain for cotton exporting countries in Africa.
