区域贸易协定对粮食安全的影响--以ASEAN自由贸易协定为例
Impacts of Regional Trade Agreements(RTAs) on Food Security: A Case of ASEAN Free Trade Agreement
摘要:
歧视性贸易自由化政策在世界经济体中越来越普遍。各国有动力加入区域贸易协定,以实现更快的经济增长,从而减轻贫困。在发展中经济体,如东南亚国家联盟(东盟)大多数成员国,相当大一部分人因粮食无保障而遭受贫困。收入水平低和农业部门生产率低,加剧了这些人粮食无保障的严重性。预计歧视性贸易自由化政策将减少贫困和加强粮食安全。本文的目的是研究东盟自由贸易协定(AFTA)对其成员国粮食安全的影响。利用面板数据的多元回归分析方法,利用区域贸易协定虚拟变量,分析贸易自由化对粮食安全的影响。研究结果支持东盟自由贸易区对其成员国的粮食安全产生了积极影响。东盟自由贸易区成立后,成员国人均每日膳食能量供应水平随着时间的推移略有增加。
英文摘要:
Discriminatory trade liberalization policies are becoming more popular among world economies. Countries are motivated to enter for regional trade agreements to capture faster economic growth for alleviating poverty. In developing economies like most of the member countries of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), a sizeable portion of people are suffering from poverty by exposing them to food insecurity. Low level of income and low productivity of agricultural sector have augmented the severity of food insecurity of those people. Discriminatory trade liberalization policies are expected to reduce poverty and strengthen the food security. The objective of this paper is to examine the effect of ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (AFTA) on food security of its member countries. The multiple regression analysis in panel data was employed to disentangle the impacts of trade liberalization on food securit y with use of regional trade agreement dummy variable. The finding of the study supports that AFTA has influenced positively on food security of its member nations. After the formation of AFTA, the level of per-capita daily dietary energy supply of the member countries has been increased moderately over time.
