Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origin of the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers program can be traced back to a 2000 Department of Labor report recommending that a separate program be enacted "to assist agricultural producers and workers affected adversely by imports" if the objective is to assist them to remain in their current occupations. The report described the existing trade adjustment assistance (TAA) programs that provided (1) limited technical assistance to help business firms (including some that produced agricultural and food products) regain economic competitiveness or to shift into producing other goods, and (2) training assistance to workers (including those employed by some agricultural firms) to facilitate their transition into other occupations. It noted that the provision of direct financial assistance (such as income supplements) to farmers, or efforts to financially enable them to continue producing the commodity adversely affected by imports rather than help them adjust to employment in other sectors, would be inconsistent with the objectives of the then-existing TAA programs--Publisher's web site.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for Farmers program, first established by the Reform Act in 2002, assists farmers adversely affected by import competition through cash benefits and technical assistance. The Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 re-authorized and modified the program. The program has been mostly underused, with petitions filed for only 0.8% of all the state-level field commodities for which price data is available. In Chapter 2, I address this puzzle of low program participation by using the rare events logistic regression method and find that access to information and farmers' incentives to file petitions, rather than factors from eligibility criteria, determine the program participation. Most notable changes in the Recovery Act of 2009 are the easing of eligibility criteria and the use of decoupled instead of coupled cash payments. In Chapter 3, using an inclusive model that allows for different policy settings-coupled and decoupled payments and different eligibility criteria-I find that the new seemingly "decoupled" TAA program, as well as the original "coupled" TAA program, distort prices and optimal outputs, and increase farmers' welfare.

Book excerpt: "Agricultural imports-including imports of fruit, vegetables, seafood, and other commodities that directly compete with U.S. products-have more than doubled over the last decade, according to data from USDA. The department's TAA for Farmers program provides technical and financial assistance to producers of commodities certified by USDA as eligible for assistance. The Trade and Globalization Adjustment Assistance Act of 2009 reauthorized and amended the program and directed GAO to prepare and submit a report on the operation and effectiveness of the amendments. In particular, GAO examined (1) the commodities and producers USDA approved for assistance and the type and amount of assistance it provided, and (2) the approach USDA is taking to evaluate the program's effectiveness and limitations, if any, in this approach. GAO analyzed USDA data and documents; interviewed USDA officials, their academic partners, producer groups, and commodity experts; and conducted fieldwork in two states to meet with producer groups for certified commodities."
