The Indian Demand for Imported Fresh Apples: Effects of Tariff Reductions

Abstract: We estimated the impact of the Indian tariff on the demand for imported fresh apples from theUnited States. A 1% decrease in the tariff would increase the quantities demanded by 3.83%. If India eliminates the tariff on all imported fresh apples, total consumer welfare in terms of the imported fresh apple market will increase by $120 million yearly, 57% of the value of all fresh apples imported by India in 2015. This study adds evidence on the effects of tariff reduction on trade volume and welfare of consumers… Show more

“…Yang & Koo (1994) extended the AIDS model to estimate source-differentiated demand systems without all of the restrictions of the Armington system. Several studies have used this model to estimate price elasticities of demand for imported commodities from different exporting countries (Henneberry & Hwang, 2007;Tshikala & Fonsah, 2012;He, 2019;Mnatsakanyan & Lopez, 2019;Lee et al, 2020;Ning et al, 2021;Zhang et al, 2021). We also used the source-differentiated AIDS model to estimate the own-price, cross-price, and income elasticities of imported melons in China from Vietnam, Myanmar, and ROW.…”

“…Taking the China-ASEAN FTA as an example, Qin (2005) divided the industrial development levels of member countries in the FTA into four gradations, pointing out that countries with higher industrial levels would transfer their inferior industries to countries with lower levels, so as to optimise their industrial layout [4] . After the establishment of the China-ASEAN FTA, tariff barriers have been removed and the exchange of goods and the flow of factors within the region has become freer, which has had an accelerating effect on the transfer of industries within the region [5] .…”

“…Pourmokhtar et al (2018) used the RSDAIDS model to investigate the effects of economic and non-economic factors such as meat prices, costs, and animal disease outbreaks on meat demand from different sources in Iran. Lee et al (2020) used RSDAIDS model in India to estimate the effect of tariffs on fresh apples from the United States. As far as the authors know, this is the first application of RSDAIDS in the analysis of Qatar's food import demand.…”
