Using 2008 LSMS data for Côte d'Ivoire, we study the welfare implications of the price increase of key imported staple food-rice-and consider the consumption smoothing effect of locally produced food and cash crop varieties. While middle income urban households are adversely affected by rising rice prices, relatively poor rural households benefit. Availability of local staple alternatives leads to further income redistribution from net consumers toward net producers of staples. By contrast, the ability to generate income from tropical cash crops not only improves the welfare of rural households, but helps smooth the consumption of urban households. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

International audience ; This paper examines the relationship between antidumping filings and macroeconomic factors in the US and the EU. A highly dispersed distribution of the number of openings of antidumping proceduresis confirmed with an over-dispersion test, which leads us to estimate a negative binomial rather than a Poisson model. Results of this estimation suggest that a real appreciation of the filing country"s currency significantly increases the number of openings of antidumping inquiries both in the US and the EU. Fluctuations in the level of economic activity also influence antidumping filings in the US significantly: as one would expect, real GDP growth is negatively related to filings. However, we could not establish such a relationship in the EU. Lastly, increases in the import penetration rate appear to significantly increase antidumping filings in the US. Surprisingly, this relationship turns out to be the inverse in Europe. The particular time period selected assess the damage from dumping has a significant impact on our findings.

http://www.bepress.com/gej/vol6/iss3/5 ; International audience ; This paper aims at extending some recent publications about the relationship between antidumping filings and macroeconomic factors by comparing the United States (US) and the European Union (EU), two major users of antidumping procedures. Results of our estimations confirm that the exchange rate exerts a similar influence in the two countries. Fluctuations in the real GDP influence antidumping filings only in the US. On the contrary, the evolution of industrial production does not play an important role in the US, while its impact is important in Europe. The reinforcement of international competition appears to significantly increase antidumping filings in the US while this relationship turns out not to be significant in Europe. Finally, some of the most important differences between the US and the EU seem to be explainable by the differences of rules and practices implemented by the regulatory authorities.
