Abstract

IMPACT (International Model for Policy Analysis of Agricultural Commodities and Trade) is a global agricultural sector partial equilibrium model developed in the early 1990s at the International Food Policy Research Institute in response to the lack of a long-term vision and consensus about the actions that are necessary to feed the world in the future, reduce poverty, and protect the natural resource base. IMPACT models crop and livestock commodities, including cereals, soybeans, roots and tubers, meats, milk, eggs, oilseeds, oilcakes/meals, sugar/sweeteners, and fruits and vegetables. It is specified as a set of 115 country and regional sub-­models, within each of which supply, demand, and prices for agricultural commodities are determined. The model links the various countries and regions through international trade using a series of linear and nonlinear equations to approximate the underlying production and demand functions. World agricultural commodity prices are determined annually at levels that clear international markets. Growth in crop production in each country is determined by crop and input prices, the rate of productivity growth, investment in irrigation, and water availability. Demand is a function of prices, income, and population growth. IMPACT generates projections for crop area, yield, production, demand for food, feed and other uses, prices, and trade; and for livestock numbers, yield, production, demand, prices, and trade.

At the same time, linkage would yield cooperation in trade policies in a smaller fraction of those cases than the absence of linkage would yield. As Limão (2005) notes, increased environmental cooperation would come at the expense of cooperation in trade policies. He also shows, however, that if trade and environmental policies do not have independent effects on the payoffs of governments, then linkage can sustain more cooperation in both spheres than in the absence of linkage.
