The various economic consequences of reduced trade barriers among North American countries for the food and beverage industries are examined using a industry-level calibration/simulation model which was originally developed by Smith and Venables(1988). The industry equilibrium in this model considers a situation where firms operate under increasing returns to scale and produce differentiated products, consumers have Dixit and Stiglitz(1977) type preferences and the trade equilibrium is characterized by intra-industry trade.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The various economic consequences of reduced trade barriers among North American countries for the food and beverage industries are examined using a industry-level calibration/simulation model which was originally developed by Smith and Venables(1988). The industry equilibrium in this model considers a situation where firms operate under increasing returns to scale and produce differentiated products, consumers have Dixit and Stiglitz(1977) type preferences and the trade equilibrium is characterized by intra-industry trade.
520 $a In this study, the model, which is constructed based on imperfect competition, treats NAFTA as a quantitative change of reductions in barriers to trade, and the size of the reduction is chosen so that the direct cost saving is equal to 3% of the total value of base level intra-North American trade.
520 $a The effects of this quantitative change vary from industry to industry, but, generally, they result in significantly increased import penetration in each North American country, so increasing competition, decreasing prices, and raising consumer surplus and national welfare. In the aggregated food and beverage industry, the largest gainer from NAFTA turn out to be the United States, whose total value of shipments increased about 1.8-2.3 billion dollars, and the biggest loser is Mexico. Mexico's total value of shipments decrease about 0.68-0.75 billion dollars which is 5.4-7.0% of total shipments of food and beverage products.
520 $a However, in terms of national welfare, all three countries get positive gains. The changed trade patterns of North American countries show that, indeed, the formation of the NAFTA generate substantial trade creation and small trade diversion. That is, the gains from trade creation outweigh any losses from trade diversion. Thus, the effects of NAFTA on the EC and rest of world turned out to be quite small.
520 $a The results can be interpreted as giving a wide degree of support for NAFTA. Especially, the pro-competitive effect of NAFTA implies that it could tame monopolists (oligopolists), it could allow firms to exploit economies of scale, and it could give consumers access to a cheaper and a wider choice of goods.
