Abstract

We investigate the historical effects of non-reciprocal preferential trade agreements (NRPTAs) on food exports and food availability per capita in 112 countries in the Global South to address concerns about their potential non-trade effects. Our empirical analyses use FAO Food Balance Sheet data for the years 1961–2013, covering 14 food categories and 91 product groups. We assess the link between NRPTA intensity - measured at the country level as the annaul sum of NRPTAs a country has in place - and the two outcomes using fixed effects dummy variable regressions. Our findings show that NRPTA intensity has a positive effect on food export performance and on food availability per capita, with heterogeneities across least developed, transition, and developing country groups, and its export effects do not jeopardize food insecurity.

非互惠贸易优惠如何影响全球南部国家的粮食出口和人均粮食供应？

我们调查了非互惠性优惠贸易协定（NRPTAs）对全球南方 112 个国家的粮食出口和人均粮食供应的历史影响，以消除对其潜在非贸易影响的担忧。我们的实证分析使用了粮农组织 1961-2013 年的粮食平衡表数据，涵盖 14 个粮食类别和 91 个产品组。我们使用固定效应虚拟变量回归法评估了非自由贸易协定强度（在国家层面上以一国已实施的非自由贸易协定的总和来衡量）与两种结果之间的联系。我们的研究结果表明，《非农产品贸易协定》强度对粮食出口绩效和人均粮食供应具有积极影响，在最不发达国家、转型期国家和发展中国家组别中存在异质性，其出口效应不会危及粮食不安全。

期刊介绍： Global Food Security plays a vital role in addressing food security challenges from local to global levels. To secure food systems, it emphasizes multifaceted actions considering technological, biophysical, institutional, economic, social, and political factors. The goal is to foster food systems that meet nutritional needs, preserve the environment, support livelihoods, tackle climate change, and diminish inequalities. This journal serves as a platform for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to access and engage with recent, diverse research and perspectives on achieving sustainable food security globally. It aspires to be an internationally recognized resource presenting cutting-edge insights in an accessible manner to a broad audience.
