Risk Assessment of Food Supply - Head Work
by Author(s): Tetsuji Tanaka with Nobuhiro Hosoe and Huanguang Qiu
Description
This book addresses the issue of agricultural trade liberalisation by Japan, factors behind the world food price spikes in 2008 and their impacts on the least developed economies, using computable general equilibrium models. The book gives the reader insights into the probabilistic benefits and risks of agricultural free trade by Japan that past literature has not answered. Furthermore, the reader will be given a better understanding about the size of the impacts of various factors behind the 2008 food price hikes, such as biofuel, the rise in oil price, severe poor harvests in Australia, and their effects on impoverished countries.
This book will be indispensable, not only for students, academics and policy makers who are involved in the fields of agriculture, development, and food security, but also for people learning CGE modelling, as it provides readers with plenty of information on the structure and applications of the models.
