Abstract
This dissertation focuses on improving the gravity model and applied agricultural trade literature. To do so, I employ different methods used in applied econometrics. The objective is to provide a more robust analytical framework to achieve insightful findings that can help
future researchers or policymakers.
Given the recent changes in the supply and demand of dairy products, many opportunities arise for exporting and importing countries. The first chapter focuses on estimating the effects of domestic subsidies on bilateral trade using interval data and dynamic data
approaches.
Given the complex nature of international trade, the second chapter uses mean and distributional methods to look into the differential effects of trade policies, i.e., non-tariff measures, and frictions, i.e., distance, in agricultural trade.
Given the recent issues related to the subsidies, the third chapter estimates aggregate producer support estimates on aggregate agricultural trade. This study also offers counterfactual simulations to observe how potential policy changes, i.e., reduction in domestic
subsidies, can affect international trade.
