A Theoretical Model to Study Comparative Advantage
According to Bruno (1967), Chenery (1972) and Pearson (1974), under free trade the input demand of domestic resource cost (DRC) for j production to earn one unit of foreign currency is:
DRCj = domestic resource costs input for j production / net foreign currency earning
Domestic Resource Cost (DRC) DRCj = s=2FsjVs j / (Uj – Mj - rj) DRCj is the domestic resource costs input for j production, Fsj is the quantity of sth input factor for j production, Vs is the opportunity cost of sth input factor, Uj is the output value of j production calculated by border price, Mj is the value of tradable input factors for j production, calculated by C.I.F price, Rj is the factor costs of direct foreign investments, calculated by opportunity costs, S is the number of input factors, as foreign currency is taken
as the first one, then S is numbered from 2 to m,
Adjusted Domestic Resource Cost (A_DRC)
But if we take environment into account, DRC can be calculated as:A_DRCj = (s=2FsjVs j -Ej) / (Uj – Mj - rj) where Ej is the Externality, if the externality is positive then Ej ›
0; if the externality is negative then Ej ‹ 0; if there is no externality then Ej = 0.
If we divide DRCj by the shadow foreign exchange rate (Vj), then we get Domestic Resource Costs Coefficient of j production (DRCCj), i.e, DRCCj = DRCj/ Vj
As DRCCj is a coefficient without units, we can use it to evaluate the comparative advantage of j production. If DRCCj ‹ 1, then there is comparative advantage in the production of j products, the smaller DRCCj is, the larger comparative advantage; if DRCCj › 1, then the production of j products is disadvantaged, the larger the worse; if DRCCj = 0, then it is indifferent to produce j or not.
Comparative Static Analysis DRCC=DRC/ ( NV*EX ) LN(DRCC)=LN(DRC)-LN(NV)-LN(EX) dDRCC(t)/dt/DRCC(t)=dDRC(t)/dt/
DRC(t) - dNV(t)/dt/dNV(t) -dEX(t)/dt/EX(t)
Net Social Profitability (NSP) NSPj = (Uj – mj – rj)*vj - s=2fsjvs Uj is the output value of j production, calculated by border
price mj is the value of all tradable intermediate inputs,
calculated by CIF price, Rj is the costs from direct foreign investments, calculated
by opportunity costs, vj is the shadow foreign exchange Therefore, NSP means then benefit from one production when
factor allocation is efficient. If NSP>0, then production is efficient; if NSP<0, then production is not efficient.
Adjusted Net Social Profitability (A_NSP) NSPj = (Uj – mj – rj)*vj - s=2fsjvs + Ej
where Ej is the Externality, if the externality is positive then Ej › 0; if the externality is negative then Ej ‹ 0; if there is no externality then Ej = 0.
China's WTO Accession Negotiations on Agriculture On July 1986, China formally submitted an application
to the GATT for resumption of its contracting status. On January 1st, 1995, the WTO was established, replacing the GATT. Starting from November 1995, China's GATT-resumption negotiations are now taken up as WTO accession negotiations. The negotiations have now reached its final stage. It is expected that China will be admitted into the organization eminently. China's WTO talks on agriculture mainly concern market access affairs, such as tariff reduction and tariff quota of agricultural products. As negotiated, China is expected to partially open the agricultural products market after becoming a member of WTO.
Tariff Reduction of Agricultural Products In 1992 and 1993, China introduced a voluntary
reduction of import tariff. On October 1st, 1997, the country further reduced the tariff by 26% on 4878 tariff lines. The arithmetic level of tariffs was subsequently adjusted to 17%. The arithmetic average of tariff was also reduced from 46.6% to 21.2%. In the WTO negotiations, China was given a five-year transitional period, within which the tariff will be progressively reduced. China's tariff on agricultural products will decrease from the current level of 21.25% to 17% in year 2004.
TRQ Administration in China The negotiations allow China to apply Tariff Rate Quota
administration on key agricultural products such as wheat, rice, corn, cotton, soybean, and sugar.
In essence, China's WTO-negotiations on agriculture are concentrated on market access of agricultural products, i.e., issues such as tariff and tariff quota of agricultural products; or the opening of the agricultural products market. The latter concerns the interest of the people and the state, as well as the economic development of the country The reform of China's agriculture and trade policy is expected to take place concurrently with the rest of the economic reform. It is however not likely that trade in agricultural products will be fully liberalized within a short period of time.

Food Demand Model The model assumes that people's
income will be spent on the consumption of husbandry products (beef, pork, mutton, poultry and milk), grain (wheat and rice), other food and non-food products. The model assumes that consumption differs in cities urban and rural areas
