Progress 04/15/22 to 04/14/23
Outputs Target Audience:Presented research results at academic conferences, seminars, and research workshops with significant involvement of policymakers (USDA ERS, NBER, AAEA, ASSA, IATRC). Changes/Problems:PI (Dr. Steinbach) moved institutions (UConn -> NDSU), new PI (Khederlarian) took over. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?One-on-one work to mentor graduate students and postdocs working on this project. Graduate students and postdocs participated in several workshops and conferences. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Results were disseminated through presentations at conferences, workshops, and seminars, and through a dedicated project webpage. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?
Nothing Reported
Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
We achieved the following objectives during the reporting period: Assemble a complete dataset of international trade disputes targeting U.S. agricultural exports from 1990 to 2018. (complete) We prepared a time-consistent monthly dataset of U.S. foreign trade carefully disaggregated by specific products at the customs-district level. (complete) We developed a novel statistical approach based on machine learning techniques to create credible trade flow counterfactuals and measure the impact of agricultural trade disputes more precisely. (completed)

Progress 04/15/20 to 04/14/21
Outputs Target Audience:Presented research results at academic conferences and research workshops involving policymakers (ERS, NBER). Changes/Problems:COVID-19 had a significant impact on this project. We planned to hire a Post Doc for the funding cycle. Due to immigration limitations, we were not able to get the candidate into the U.S. to work on the project. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?
Nothing Reported
How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Conference and academic workshop participations. Cooperation with ERS. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?A Postdoctoral Researcher was hired for the next funding period. We will work on objectives (3) and (4): Develop a novel statistical approach based on machine learning techniques to create credible trade flowcounterfactuals and measure the impact of agricultural trade disputes more precisely. Evaluate the impact of trade disputes on U.S. agricultural trade and explore differences in the trade impact according to dispute characteristics, product specificities, and timing of trade measures.
Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
We achieved objectives (1) and (2) Assemble a complete dataset of international trade disputes targeting U.S. agricultural exports over the period 1990 to 2018. Prepare a time-consistent monthly dataset of U.S. foreign trade carefully disaggregated by specific product at the customs-district level.
