摘要:When NAFTA became fully implemented for sugar in 2008, Mexico became the leading sugarexporter into the United States, accounting for nearly 70% of U.S. imports in 2013. A partialequilibrium trade model was developed to estimate the welfare implications of NAFTA for U.S.and Mexican sugar markets from 2008 to 2013. While the net effect of NAFTA on U.S. welfareand Mexican sugar producers was positive, U.S. sugar producers suffered significant losses. Thenet Mexican welfare effect of NAFTA was significantly positive in 2011, negative in 2008, andslightly positive in 2009–2010 and 2012–2013.
