Using a reduced-form, gravity-based econometric model for monthly trade, the researchers estimate the effects of COVID-19 incidence rates, policy restrictions imposed by governments to curb the outbreak, and the de facto reduction in human mobility/lockdown effect on global agricultural trade through the end of 2020. The researchers find that while agricultural trade remained quite stable through the pandemic, the sector as a whole did not go unscathed. First, the researchers estimate that COVID-19 reduced agricultural trade by the approximate range of 5 to 10 percent at the aggregate sector level;a quantified impact two to three times smaller in magnitude than our estimated impact on trade occurring in the non-agricultural sector. Second, the researchers find sharp differences across individual commodities. In particular, the researchers find that non-food items (hides and skins, ethanol, cotton, and other commodities), meat products including seafood, and higher value agri-food products were most severely impacted by the pandemic;however, the COVID- 19 trade effect for the majority of food and bulk agricultural commodity sectors were found to be insignificant, or in a few cases, positive. Finally, the researchers also examine the effects across low vs high income countries, the changing dynamics of the pandemic's effect on trade flows, and the effects along the extensive product margins of trade.","PeriodicalId":224369,"journal":{"name":"Working Paper Series - National Bureau of Economic Research (Massachusetts)|2021.
