“…The third and fourth columns report Heckman and PPML estimates, respectively. Country fixed effects are included to account for unobserved heterogeneity: they proxy average country-specific frictions in trading with other trading partners (Cardamome, 2011). Estimates with fixed effects are a valid tool to consider "multilateral resistance" (Baier and Bergstrand, 2007;Subramanian and Wei, 2007), and to eliminate problems arising from incorrect deflation of trade (Baldwin and Taglioni, 2006).…”

“…The inclusion in the model of the distance between the two countries was to determine the impact of transportation costs. This study includes export capacity, which is the indicator used to present the ability to satisfy private quality standards faced by exporting countries in selling commodities to specific destinations (Cardamone, 2011). The TDCA, AGOA and SADC represent trade agreements (PTAs/FTAs) between South Africa and the European Union, the USA and the SADC.…”

The paper assesses the factors influencing South Africa's agricultural export growth to its cardinal destinations between 2001 and 2014. A gravity model was used to present investigation of trade flows that has been validated as a suitable tool in determining export growth. The findings indicate that an improvement in South Africa's and importer's GDP causes an increase in agricultural exports. Distance and political stability have been shown to have no influence on the growth of agricultural exports to its trading partners. The importer's population and the export capacity showed a positive relationship on the growth of South Africa's agricultural exports to its trading partners. Trading agreements, which include AGOA and the TDCA with the EU, show a positive impact on increase in export performance. Therefore, the results suggest that South Africa should focus on countries with a growing population and GDP to improve agricultural export growth and market diversification.

“…7 7 An OLS estimator for instrumental variables is employed even in those cases where the gravity specification is estimated using a variant of the Poisson family (Cardamone, 2011; Xiong and Beghin, 2012). Following Emlinger et al (2008), we employ the following instruments: the share of agro‐food imports in the importing country, the share of agro‐food exports in the exporting country, the membership of the exporting and importing countries to the same PTA (EU, NAFTA, Mercosur, Andean Pact, Caricom, etc.)…”

With significant improvements in its theoretical underpinnings, the gravity model has gained renewed interest in the agro-food trade literature. Notwithstanding, there is a dearth of literature examining the relative trade restrictiveness of tariff barriers across a broad range of agro-food sectors. This represents an important research gap, which this study sets out to fill. Furthermore, this research reconciles the application of zeroinflated models with a sectorally disaggregated analysis. More specifically, employing a fully specified gravity equation, a Poisson estimator and variants of the Poisson model (Negative Binomial, Zero-Inflated Poisson, and Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial) provide statistically significant and theoretically consistent estimates, while allowing for the inclusion of zero-trade values. A panel data model with fixed effects is also employed to improve the estimation of the parameters of interest. Estimation results reveal that in the vast majority of sectors examined, import tariffs are found to be statistically significant, whereas export refunds exhibit a statistically smaller role due to the nonsystematic nature of their application in world food markets. Model simulations of tariff barrier eliminations reveal limited trade gains, although there is encouraging evidence of "low" and "lower middle" per capita income country trade gains in wheat, red meat, dairy, sugar, and (particularly) rice markets.JEL classifications: C13, F13, F14, F17, Q17, Q18
