An Equilibrium Analysis of U.S. Sugar Poticy

Author

  • Gordon Gemmill

Abstract

U.S. sugar policy is examined in an international context by means of a spatial equilibrium model of the world sugar economy in which various trade barriers are imposed. The Sugar Act, which expired in 1974, is found to have had only a minor influence on U.S. price and a small net cost to the nation. International free trade would cause greater adjustment in the European Economic Community than in the United States. Discrimination in trade against Cuba continues to impose large costs on that country. A cartel of cane-sugar exporters would be very unlikely to succeed.
