TL;DR: The Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) as discussed by the authors makes baseline projections each year for the U.S. agricultural sector and international commodity markets, assuming average weather patterns worldwide, existing policy and policy commitments under existing trade agreements, but do not make conjectures on likely reforms such as the European Union's (EU) Agenda 2000 or the forthcoming round of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Abstract: The Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) prepares baseline projections each year for the U.S. agricultural sector and international commodity markets. FAPRI projections assume average weather patterns worldwide, existing policy and policy commitments under existing trade agreements, but do not make conjectures on likely reforms such as the European Union’s (EU) “Agenda 2000” or the forthcoming round of the World Trade Organization (WTO).

TL;DR: In this article, the development by the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) of a new model of Mexico's livestock and poultry sectors, including beef and cattle, swine and pork, and broilers, is described.
Abstract: Many economic and demographic trends along with increased free trade agreements are projected to increase Mexico's prominence in the world markets for meat products in the next decade. This report documents the development by the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) of a new model of Mexico's livestock and poultry sectors, including beef and cattle, swine and pork, and broilers. Improvements in the new model include functional form equations, more equations for each commodity, and the use of both live animal and meat trade equations.

TL;DR: This article developed a generic conceptual approach to modeling the livestock sector that provides consistent rules of specification and better coverage of variables, which departs significantly from existing models and is applied to modelling the swinepork sector of Japan and then used to analyze the impact of removing Japan's gate price policy and variable levy for pork imports.
Abstract: Many livestock sector models have limited coverage of relevant variables and are somewhat ad hoc in their structure in the choice of what should be specified as behavioral equations. This study develops a generic conceptual approach to modeling the livestock sector that provides consistent rules of specification and better coverage of variables. The new approach departs significantly from existing models. This approach is applied to modeling the swine-pork sector of Japan and then used to analyze the impact of removing Japan's gate price policy and variable levy for pork imports.
