Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of the market price support on trade of refined sugar. We use a balanced panel of bilateral trade data are on exports of refined sugar among 22 countries over the period 1995-2007. We employ the theoretical motivated gravity model and spatial econometric techniques to account for spatial interdependence among trade flows. Results suggest that ignoring the spatial dependence in the cross sectional change the magnitude and statistical significance of the estimated parameters. Our results also indicate the benefit of the reduction in the market price support to increase trade of refined sugar.
