Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT The term "employee welfare measures" refers to a wide range of services, amenities, and facilities that employers offer to their workers in order to provide them with a healthy, safe, and satisfying work environment. These measures typically fall into one of three categories: statutory, voluntary, or mutual. Statutory measures are legally mandated and ensure minimum working standards, such as health and safety regulations, maternity benefits, and working hours. Voluntary welfare refers to those benefits provided at the discretion of the employer, including wellness programs, flexible work hours, recreational activities, and employee assistance programs. Mutual welfare involves initiatives driven by employees, such as cooperative societies and social clubs, often supported by the organization. This study also investigates the impact of such welfare policies on individual employee performance and the overall success of the organization. Each of these plays a unique role in supporting employees' holistic development. In a competitive market, a strong welfare system not only increases job satisfaction and work-life balance but also positions the company as a preferred employer. Based on these findings, the study proposes practical, actionable solutions that can help organizations overcome challenges and maximize the benefits of their welfare efforts. Keywords: Employee welfare, workplace well-being, organizational performance, employee benefits, statutory welfare, voluntary welfare, mutual welfare, employee satisfaction, productivity, employee morale, employee retention, flexible work schedules.

Abstract: Employee welfare is a crucial component of organizational effectiveness, directly influencing productivity, job satisfaction, and overall quality of life. This study evaluates employee welfare measures and HR policies in NTPC townships, focusing on township infrastructure, maintenance services, sanitation, security, and complaint redressal mechanisms. A structured questionnaire was administered to 120 employees residing in NTPC townships, collecting data on various aspects of township facilities and employee satisfaction. The research employed descriptive statistics and a Chi-square goodness-of-fit test to analyze the uniformity of employee satisfaction across different service categories. The results indicate significant variations in satisfaction levels. While township roads (84.2%), security measures (81.7%), and water quality (79.2%) received high satisfaction ratings, civil complaint resolution (30.8%) and township building maintenance (21.7%) were the lowest-rated aspects. The Chi-square test (χ² = 70.56, df = 13, p = 0.000) confirmed a highly significant disparity, rejecting the null hypothesis that employee satisfaction is uniformly distributed across services. Sanitation services (60.8%) and horticulture maintenance (64.2%) received moderate approval, whereas weekly market arrangements (58.3%) showed notable dissatisfaction (34.2%). The study highlights key areas for improvement, including faster response times for maintenance complaints, stricter contractor supervision, enhanced waste management, structured building renovations, and improved security protocols. By addressing these concerns, NTPC can optimize township management, enhance employee well-being, and reinforce its commitment to sustainable workforce development.

Employees' play a key role in the existence and growth of any organisation, therefore their welfare is essential. During the past few years, both public sector and private sector organisations have been contributing towards the employee's benefits and also increase their efficiency. Employees' welfare facilities include housing facilities, free medical facilities, retirement benefits, children and adult educational benefits, welfare measures for the employee's families, loan facilities, etc. If the organisations do not bother about the employees benefit, but expect efficient and high performance from them, it is a mere waste. So there is utmost need for the employee's welfare in any type of organisation. Organizations have to provide welfare facilities to their employees to keep their motivation levels high. A comparative study was undertaken to know the satisfaction level of the employees on the enforceability of various welfare measures in both the public and private sector organizations. The study also throws light on impact of welfare measures on the employees' performance.

ABSTRACT Employee welfare practices play a vital role in ensuring the physical, mental, and social well-being of employees within an organization. This study aims to explore the various welfare measures adopted by companies and assess their impact on employee satisfaction, motivation, and overall productivity. With the increasing importance of human resources as a key asset, organizations today are focusing more on comprehensive welfare schemes that go beyond statutory requirements. These include health and safety measures, recreational facilities, work-life balance programs, and financial support initiatives. The research was conducted using both primary and secondary data collection methods, including surveys, interviews, and analysis of organizational reports. The study highlights that effective welfare practices not only improve employee morale but also reduce absenteeism, turnover rates, and workplace stress. It was also found that employees who feel cared for are more loyal and committed to their organizations. Overall, the study concludes that employee welfare is not merely a legal obligation but a strategic tool that can lead to sustainable business success. Organizations that invest in employee well-being are more likely to build a positive work culture and maintain a competitive edge in the market. KEYWORDS Employee Welfare, Welfare Measures, Organizational Productivity, Employee Satisfaction, Work-Life Balance, Occupational Health and Safety, Statutory Benefits, Non-Statutory Welfare, Human Resource Management ,Employee Engagement, Workplace Well-being ,Motivation, Employee Retention, Industrial Relations, Job Satisfaction.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines whether eliciting self-evaluations increases or decreases the propensity of a productive agent to retaliate against an employer for paying compensation that the agent perceives to be too low for the work performed. Specifically, I consider a setting in which a principal knows more about the agent’s production than even the agent can observe. In such a setting, an agent might perceive that s/he is being underpaid if the principal pays less than the agent believes s/he deserves, especially if the agent is overconfident about his/her own productive ability. Such an agent could take retaliatory actions against the principal that would be costly to both parties. Self-evaluations could mitigate such tendencies if they result in compensation that is more aligned with agent self-perceptions. Alternatively, self-evaluations could worsen such tendencies if they reinforce the perceived inequity of compensation that does not match agent self-perceptions. I present experimental evidence from comparing a control condition without self-evaluations to three different forms of self-evaluation reports, finding evidence consistent with the premise that self-evaluations increase retaliatory actions and lower welfare. My findings show a cost to self-evaluations that thus far has not been sufficiently considered in the literature.<br>text

Full textAbstract:
AbstractGlobal climate change poses a great threat to poultry production. Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are released through both natural and anthropogenic sources into the atmosphere. Though poultry production contributes little to the release of GHGs, the subsector has been shown to be greatly affected by climate change and global warming. Poultry production as a major subsector of agriculture has provided the teeming population with a supply of needed animal protein in terms of meat and egg production all over the world. It is yet a major global employer of labor. Though it occupies a vantage position in meeting human needs, it is being threatened by climate change, especially in Africa where necessary structure to tackle the menace is nonexistent. Broiler chickens that are reared mainly for chicken meat cannot tolerate the high ambient temperature that prevails mostly in the tropical environment. Chickens are homeotherms that homeostatically regulate core body temperature within a narrow range. Elevated ambient temperature above thermal comfort zone, such as envisaged in climate change scenarios, will trigger series of neuroendocrine modulations that are detrimental to the welfare and productivity in broiler chickens. Such birds are said to be undergoing heat stress (HS). Negative effects of HS include reduced feed consumption, growth rate, feed digestion and efficiency, immunity, welfare, and survivability. Various adaptive measures that could be harnessed by broiler farmers, ranging from housing, feeding, watering, stocking, breeding for thermo-tolerant strains, thermal conditioning, use of phytochemicals, and much more, are reviewed upon in this chapter.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe Covid-19 pandemic has directly affected the millions of migrant workers in Gulf countries, mostly employed as temporary labour in construction and allied sectors. The Gulf region historically has been the most favoured destination for such jobs. However, the pandemic crisis has halted construction projects in these countries as the drastic fall in oil prices has affected Gulf oil and non-oil economies severely. This has had an adverse effect on Indian migrant workers as they face the threat of unemployment, leading to their voluntary or forced return to India. For example, at the end of 2020, half a million Kerala emigrants, most of them in the Gulf, had lost their jobs abroad due to the pandemic, making their return inevitable given their temporary status in these countries. This chapter examines how India is prepared to handle the changing trends in Indo-Gulf migration corridor and the subsequent return emigration from the Gulf. The chapter highlights major sending-state perspectives, such as that of Kerala and others, and their responses towards Gulf returnees. Moreover, it provides insights by revisiting the existing economic and social security measures for returning migrants and their families within the framework of state welfare schemes, thereby examining rehabilitation and re-integration mechanisms for return migrants at the central and state levels in India.

Full textAbstract:
The Italian public-owned Academic Medical Centers (AMCs) are hospitals where the activities of scientific research, teaching, and patients care are fully integrated. AMCs have an enormous impact on society and country health. Recently, policymakers and practitioners give more and more great importance to the AMCs’ scientific activity for both welfare and national competitivity. The scientific production and its impact on the research community could be obviously affected by different factors related to the structural and operational characteristics of each AMC. Healthcare institutions could be different for the typology of services that they offer, their geolocation, the presence/absence of Emergency Departments, the number of employees, and so forth. In this sense, our study aims to investigate and determine which are the possible factors impacting the research productivity of AMCs. We develop a model to assess the academic value of AMCs by taking into account these factors and how they are related to healthcare performance, measured in terms of scientific production (e.g. scientific publications) and impact on the research field (e.g. citations). To face this issue, for each of the public AMCs we collect data about research productivity from bibliographic indexing databases (e.g. Web of Science, PubMed) and we retrieve structural information mainly from their official websites. This work has been partially financed by the research project “Leading Change in Academic Medical Centers”, funded by the competitive call for projects V:ALERE 2019. The project aims to provide evidence, advice, and remarks to help the agents of the public health system to address the many challenges that they face.

AbstractThe authors describe the plight of sex workers, a particularly disadvantaged community that is highly marginalized and vulnerable. Sex workers were hard hit by the pandemic. The authors examine the impact of COVID-19 on sex workers’ lives and livelihoods, their response to the crisis, and the strategies that they employed to battle the pandemic.During the lockdown, female sex workers lost their livelihoods which plunged them and their families into extreme poverty. Even when unlock measures were announced, the business of sex work did not return to normal. Sex work, by its very nature, demands physical proximity—not physical distancing. Consequently, sex workers had to innovate to find work to survive. Loss of livelihoods also brought forth hidden mental health problems. Gripped by anxiety and depression due to the uncertainty about when the pandemic would end, sex workers went into despair. Some even attempted suicide. Violence in the family increased significantly. For sex workers living with HIV, there was the added anxiety about the continuation of anti-retroviral therapy (ART). Community-based organizations (CBOs) took on the responsibility of providing drugs to sex workers by developing a unique supply chain. The CBO members collected the drugs from the health centers and deliver them to sex workers at a mutually convenient place, thereby ensuring confidentiality.The authors draw attention to sex workers who are invisible in most discourses. This vulnerable, marginalized community was seriously affected by the pandemic. Sex workers were victims but were also the first responders to the pandemic. Sex worker collectives formed to fight HIV, were by their very nature, well-equipped to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. The government’s announcement to provide rations to the poor was a welcome move, but it was not of much help to sex workers as they did not possess ration cards. The sex worker collectives valiantly fought this battle and won. The Supreme Court of India directed the states to provide sex workers with dry rations without insisting on any proof.The stories of the lives and resilience of sex workers, narrated in this chapter, are inspiring. The authors discuss the plight of female sex workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The community of sex workers was missing from all government policies and welfare schemes. The sudden lockdown robbed them of their livelihoods. Basic necessities like food and shelter became elusive. The authors relate the stories of the struggles of sex workers from different parts of the country.They discuss how despite uncertainty, stigma, and loss of livelihoods, sex workers emerged strong. The resilient spirit of sex workers should be celebrated. The stories of sex workers have a common thread of resilience, resourcefulness, grit, and determination in the face of unsurmountable challenges.

This research aims to study the engagement assessment index and analyze the factors influencing employee engagement in a state enterprise in Thailand. The study employs a quantitative research method, using a questionnaire as a data collection tool from a sample of 855 employees. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics, including Multiple Regression Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings revealed that the overall employee engagement score, measured by the Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS), indicates a need for improvement. The majority of employees fell into the 'Passive' group (37.80%), followed by the 'Detractor' group (33.60%), and the 'Promoter' group (28.70%). Further analysis indicated that engagement in terms of 'Say' was rated as excellent, 'Strive' as good, while 'Stay' required improvement. Factors such as organizational attitude, direct supervisors and executives, acceptance, career opportunities, welfare, and work environment positively influenced employee engagement.

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the world of work has been both devastating and far-reaching. In order to reduce the unemployment rate, it is necessary to increase motivation and incentives to look for a job, to improve readiness for work and help to find a suitable job, as well as to expand employment opportunities. Public employment services have become an important point for jobseekers, giving workers and employers access to a number of passive and active labour market support mechanisms. Active labour market policies are a key tool through which welfare states seek to improve the employment prospects of the unemployed. Ongoing monitoring and evaluation of the impact of active labour market policies and programs are needed to strengthen the effectiveness and efficiency of policies in responding to the needs of different groups. This study analyzes the data obtained from the survey of the unemployed with the aim of finding out how actively the unemployed cooperate with the state employment service and use services offered by it, as well as to reveal the possible shortcomings and shortcomings of this society, so that it is possible to eliminate them and increase the efficiency of this cooperation.

Abstract Heat stress is a major occupational hazard in oilfield environments, particularly in high-temperature regions like Kuwait and the GCC. This study evaluates the effectiveness of advanced heat stress management strategies by integrating wearable technology, innovative personalized protective equipment (PPE), and structured work/rest cycles to enhance worker safety, comfort, and productivity. A controlled field study was conducted on 16 cementing department employees, comparing traditional heat stress practices with advanced intervention measures. The results demonstrated significant physiological and operational benefits. Workers utilizing cooling helmets, high-cooling fire-resistant vests, maintained an average core temperature 1.5–2°C lower than those wearing traditional PPE, confirmed through wearable arm monitors. Additionally, wearable monitors recorded a 10–15% reduction in heart rate spikes, indicating lower physiological stress and improved endurance. Post-implementation surveys revealed that 87.5% of participants experienced enhanced comfort, safety, and job satisfaction, while 100% reported a noticeable reduction in fatigue, dizziness, and dehydration. From a performance perspective, workers using advanced PPE completed tasks 5–10% faster, made 30% fewer errors in slurry mixing and density adjustments, and required 20% less start-up time after breaks. Behavioral changes, such as increased hydration awareness, further reinforced a stronger safety culture. Moreover, no heat-related incidents were recorded among workers using cooling PPE, whereas two cases of dizziness and dehydration were observed in the traditional PPE group. This study underscores the necessity of modernizing heat stress management practices through technology-driven solutions. By integrating real-time physiological monitoring, specialized PPE, and structured work protocols, these findings offer a scalable and sustainable model for mitigating heat stress in extreme work environments, ultimately improving worker welfare, productivity, and operational safety.

The world of work is changing. This change becomes obvious by various developments, such as individualization, flexibilization or dissolution of boundaries, which also shape the discourse about subjectification of work (Beck, 1986, Kleemann et al., 2019, Sennett, 2008). Changing work requirements and demands made by employees are closely entwined with changes in health burdens of working people (Eurofound and EU-OSHA, 2014, Eurofound and ILO, 2017, Kratzer et al., 2011, Mauno et al., 2019, Siegrist, 2019). While the numbers of workplace accidents decline, an increasing emergence of work-related diseases can be observed. Contemporaneously, long-term health maintenance and employability is gaining importance in Europe as access conditions to welfare state benefits is becoming increasingly restricted (Böhle and Lessenich, 2018, Vogel, 2018).The prevention of accidents and diseases at workplace is historically rooted in the welfare state and associated with certain traditions of thought (Dixon, 1999, Esping-Andersen, 1990, Moses, 2019). In Austria, workplace disease prevention is based on regulations of occupational health and safety (OHS) as well as statutory accident insurance (Püringer, 2014). Interpretation and communication of these regulations through legally mandated institutions strongly influence companies‘ OHS prevention measures. However, in the face of tertiarization processes and the subjectification of work and in view of the “4 Fs” of change at work – feminization, flexibilization, fragmentation and financialization – traditional prevention discourses and practices run the risk of excluding growing parts of the working population (Kangas, 2010, Rubery, 2015). This paper takes up the developments described above and carries them forward using the results of Marie Jelenko's dissertation (2021) on current prevention discourses. The focus is on Austria's central state mediating bodies, the Labor Inspectorate and the Workers' Compensation Board. Within the methodological framework of Grounded Theory, Jelenko conducted qualitative interviews, additionally including a large number of relevant documents in her analysis (Bogner et al., 2014, Strauss, 1994, Wolff, 2010). The findings reveal conservative as well as dynamic approaches to work-related disease prevention at the level of intermediary social policy agencies.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The potential future of open ocean aquaculture (OOA) lies in its ability to provide low-impact, sustainable seafood production offshore, offering a solution to meet the rising global seafood demand while addressing climate change and reducing the pressure on coastal areas. However, the development of OOA structures is costly, which emphasises the crucial importance of thorough concept evaluation during the design phase, where any risks associated with the new structure during its operation must be addressed. This involves not only ensuring structural reliability in challenging offshore environments but also ensuring that fish thrive in the enclosed space provided by the structure. A comprehensive, integrated evaluation of novel OOA concepts and design solutions may require special analysis tools and methods, which are found in neither today’s offshore engineering nor traditional coastal aquaculture technology. This paper presents methods for a comprehensive analysis of a novel, submersed, flexible enclosure system developed for open-ocean finfish aquaculture in New Zealand. Herein, the enclosure structure is simplified and generalised by considering it as a horizontal fabric cylinder with ends covered by nets. The structure has outer ring structures to stiffen the enclosure and help maintain its cross-sectional shape. A single-point-mooring (SPM) system with either catenary-like or taut moorings allows the structure to freely rotate with the flow while being submerged at depths below which wave actions are reduced. The performed analyses consisted of three major steps needed to evaluate the OOA structure from different perspectives. In step (i), a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling of steady flows through the structure with porous end covers was carried out to assess the internal flow reduction, which depends on the structure’s shape and solidity of the net. Here, a CFD approach based on measured hydrodynamic properties of net material was employed. This modelling is necessary for ensuring optimal flow conditions for fish contained within the structure. It also provides water-velocity data needed for predicting the dissolved oxygen (DO) transport. In step (ii), time-domain simulations of the moored OOA structure in dynamic environments with waves and varying currents were conducted. Here, extreme conditions were modelled to evaluate the reliability of the structure and its mooring system under possible design loads. To model the flexible enclosure, a new finite element model based on so-called rotation-free shell elements was developed within the framework of FhSim, which is the simulation software at SINTEF Ocean for modelling flexible marine structures in waves and currents. In step (iii), the FhSim model was used to predict the motion of the structure in a harmonic tidal current. Building upon the results from the steady-state CFD analysis, these transient simulations provided the basis for predicting the DO dynamics within the enclosure depending on water temperature and respiration rates of fish (considering Atlantic salmon as an example). This helped identify when the dissolved oxygen levels within the enclosure may drop and how long it may take for them to recover during the tidal transitions, which is important for fish welfare. It was observed that the motion of the structure connected to an SPM mooring system may have a large impact on internal oxygen levels, offering insights for optimising the mooring design. Overall, the proposed methodology represents an integrated solution for concept evaluation during the design phase of OOA structures, potentially enabling the optimisation of new designs to handle offshore environmental loads while promoting fish welfare.

Full textAbstract:
The global pet care market is booming, with pet owners increasingly seeking ways to understand and improve the well-being of their animal companions. This demand extends beyond domestic pets to working animals, such as those in law enforcement and the military, and even to livestock in the agriculture industry. Accurate and timely diagnosis of health issues is crucial in all these sectors, but traditional methods often rely on subjective observations and infrequent veterinary visits. This paper introduces a novel Internet of Things (IoT) platform designed to bridge this gap by providing continuous, objective monitoring of animal behavior and activity.Our platform employs a non-invasive, wearable device equipped with an array of sensors that capture physiological and movement data. This data is then processed using advanced machine learning algorithms to classify the animal's activity into predefined categories, such as resting, playing, eating, or exploring. By analyzing patterns and deviations in these activities, we construct a comprehensive "Activity Level Indicator" (ALI). This index provides a clear and quantifiable measure of the animal's overall well-being, categorizing them as normal, hyperactive, or lethargic.Furthermore, the collected data is visualized through an intuitive dashboard accessible to pet owners, trainers, and veterinarians. This dashboard provides valuable insights into the animal's daily routines, activity levels, and potential anomalies. For pet owners, this translates to a deeper understanding of their pet's needs and early detection of potential health concerns. For trainers, the platform offers data-driven feedback to optimize training programs and monitor progress. Veterinarians can leverage the platform to access objective data, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning, and enabling remote monitoring of patients.This paper details the development and validation of the IoT platform, including the sensor technology, machine learning models, and dashboard design. We present results from a pilot study demonstrating the platform's effectiveness in accurately classifying animal activities and identifying deviations from normal behavior patterns. The potential applications and implications of this technology are discussed, highlighting its contribution to improving animal welfare across various domains, from enhancing the bond between pets and owners to revolutionizing animal healthcare in veterinary practice and the agriculture industry.

Full textAbstract:
This paper argues that welfare programs are linked with the destruction of social capital, as measured by interpersonal trust in laboratory games. The paper employs experimental data for representative samples of individuals in four Latin American capital cities (Bogota, Lima, Montevideo, and San Jose), finding that participation in welfare programs damage trust. This result is robust to the inclusion of individual risk measures and a broad array of controls. The findings also support the notion that low take-up rates may be due to stigma linked with trust and social capital, rather than transaction costs.

Full textAbstract:
Two recent papers by prominent antitrust scholars argue that a revived antitrust movement can help reverse the dramatic rise in economic inequality and the erosion of political democracy in the United States. Both papers rely on the legislative history of the key antitrust statutes to support their case. Not surprisingly, their recommendations have been met with alarm in some quarters and with skepticism in others. Such proposals by antitrust reformers are often contrasted with the Consumer Welfare Standard that pervades antitrust policy today. The Consumer Welfare Standard suffers from several defects: (1) It employs a narrow, unworkable measure of welfare; (2) It excludes important sources of welfare based on the assumption that antitrust seeks only to maximize wealth; (3) It assumes a constant and equal individual marginal utility of money; and (4) It is often combined with extraneous ideological goals. Even with these defects, however, if applied consistent with its theoretical underpinnings, the consideration of the transfer of labor rents resulting from a merger or dominant firm conduct is supported by the Consumer Welfare Standard. Moreover, even when only consumers (and not producers) are deemed relevant, the welfare of labor still should consistently be considered part of consumer welfare. In contrast, fostering political democracy—a prominent traditional antitrust goal that was jettisoned by the Chicago School—falls outside the Consumer Welfare Standard in any of its constructs. To undergird such important broader goals requires that the Consumer Welfare Standard be replaced with the General Welfare Standard. The General Welfare Standard consists of modern welfare economics modified to accommodate objective analyses of human welfare and purged of inconsistencies.

Full textAbstract:
This paper proposes a new method for ex ante analysis of the poverty impacts arising from policy reforms. Three innovations underlie this approach. The first is the estimation of a global demand system using a combination of micro-data from household surveys, and macro-data from the International Comparisons Project. Estimation is undertaken in a manner that reconciles these two sources of information, explicitly recognizing that per capita national demands are an aggregation of the disaggregated, individual household demands. The second innovation relates to a methodology for post-estimation calibration of the global demand system, giving rise to country specific demand systems and an associated expenditure function which, when aggregated across the expenditure distribution, reproduce observed per capita budget shares exactly. The third innovation is use of the calibrated expenditure function to calculate the change in the head-count of poverty, poverty gap and squared poverty gap arising from policy reforms, where the poverty measures are derived using a unique poverty level of utility, rather than an income or expenditure-based measure. We employ these techniques with a demand system for food, other non-durables and services estimated using a combination of 1996 ICP data set and national expenditure distribution data. Calibration is demonstrated for three countries for which household survey expenditure data are utilized during estimation; namely, Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand. To illustrate the usefulness of these calibrated models for policy analysis, we assess the impacts of an assumed five percent food price rise as might be realized in the wake of a multilateral trade agreement. Results illustrate the important role of subsistence expenditures at low per capita income levels, but of discretionary expenditure at higher per capita income levels. The welfare analysis underscores the relatively large impact of the price hike on poorer households, while a modified Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty measure shows that the five percent price rise has a differential effect on poverty across the three focus countries, although it increases the incidence and intensity of poverty in all three cases.

Hertel, Thomas, David Hummels, Maros Ivanic, and Roman Keeney. How Confident Can We Be in CGE-Based Assessments of Free Trade Agreements? GTAP Working Paper, 2003. http://dx.doi.org/10.21642/gtap.wp26.
Full textAbstract:
With the proliferation of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) over the past decade, demand for quantitative analysis of their likely impacts has surged. The main quantitative tool for performing such analysis is Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) modeling. Yet these models have been widely criticized for performing poorly (Kehoe, 2002) and having weak econometric foundations (McKitrick, 1998; Jorgenson, 1984). FTA results have been shown to be particularly sensitive to the trade elasticities, with small trade elasticities generating large terms of trade effects and relatively modest efficiency gains, whereas large trade elasticities lead to the opposite result. Critics are understandably wary of results being determined largely by the authors’ choice of trade elasticities. Where do these trade elasticities come from? CGE modelers typically draw these elasticities from econometric work that uses time series price variation to identify an elasticity of substitution between domestic goods and composite imports (Alaouze, 1977; Alaouze, et al., 1977; Stern et al., 1976; Gallaway, McDaniel and Rivera, 2003). This approach has three problems: the use of point estimates as “truth”, the magnitude of the point estimates, and estimating the relevant elasticity. First, modelers take point estimates drawn from the econometric literature, while ignoring the precision of these estimates. As we will make clear below, the confidence one has in various CGE conclusions depends critically on the size of the confidence interval around parameter estimates. Standard “robustness checks” such as systematically raising or lowering the substitution parameters does not properly address this problem because it ignores information about which parameters we know with some precision and which we do not. A second problem with most existing studies derives from the use of import price series to identify home vs. foreign substitution, for example, tends to systematically understate the true elasticity. This is because these estimates take price variation as exogenous when estimating the import demand functions, and ignore quality variation. When quality is high, import demand and prices will be jointly high. This biases estimated elasticities toward zero. A related point is that the fixed-weight import price series used by most authors are theoretically inappropriate for estimating the elasticities of interest. CGE modelers generally examine a nested utility structure, with domestic production substitution for a CES composite import bundle. The appropriate price series is then the corresponding CES price index among foreign varieties. Constructing such an index requires knowledge of the elasticity of substitution among foreign varieties (see below). By using a fixed-weight import price series, previous estimates place too much weight on high foreign prices, and too small a weight on low foreign prices. In other words, they overstate the degree of price variation that exists, relative to a CES price index. Reconciling small trade volume movements with large import price series movements requires a small elasticity of substitution. This problem, and that of unmeasured quality variation, helps explain why typical estimated elasticities are very small. The third problem with the existing literature is that estimates taken from other researchers’ studies typically employ different levels of aggregation, and exploit different sources of price variation, from what policy modelers have in mind. Employment of elasticities in experiments ill-matched to their original estimation can be problematic. For example, estimates may be calculated at a higher or lower level of aggregation than the level of analysis than the modeler wants to examine. Estimating substitutability across sources for paddy rice gives one a quite different answer than estimates that look at agriculture as a whole. When analyzing Free Trade Agreements, the principle policy experiment is a change in relative prices among foreign suppliers caused by lowering tariffs within the FTA. Understanding the substitution this will induce across those suppliers is critical to gauging the FTA’s real effects. Using home v. foreign elasticities rather than elasticities of substitution among imports supplied from different countries may be quite misleading. Moreover, these “sourcing” elasticities are critical for constructing composite import price series to appropriate estimate home v. foreign substitutability. In summary, the history of estimating the substitution elasticities governing trade flows in CGE models has been checkered at best. Clearly there is a need for improved econometric estimation of these trade elasticities that is well-integrated into the CGE modeling framework. This paper provides such estimation and integration, and has several significant merits. First, we choose our experiment carefully. Our CGE analysis focuses on the prospective Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA) currently under negotiation. This is one of the most important FTAs currently “in play” in international negotiations. It also fits nicely with the source data used to estimate the trade elasticities, which is largely based on imports into North and South America. Our assessment is done in a perfectly competitive, comparative static setting in order to emphasize the role of the trade elasticities in determining the conventional gains/losses from such an FTA. This type of model is still widely used by government agencies for the evaluation of such agreements. Extensions to incorporate imperfect competition are straightforward, but involve the introduction of additional parameters (markups, extent of unexploited scale economies) as well as structural assumptions (entry/no-entry, nature of inter-firm rivalry) that introduce further uncertainty. Since our focus is on the effects of a PTA we estimate elasticities of substitution across multiple foreign supply sources. We do not use cross-exporter variation in prices or tariffs alone. Exporter price series exhibit a high degree of multicolinearity, and in any case, would be subject to unmeasured quality variation as described previously. Similarly, tariff variation by itself is typically unhelpful because by their very nature, Most Favored Nation (MFN) tariffs are non-discriminatory in nature, affecting all suppliers in the same way. Tariff preferences, where they exist, are often difficult to measure – sometimes being confounded by quantitative barriers, restrictive rules of origin, and other restrictions. Instead we employ a unique methodology and data set drawing on not only tariffs, but also bilateral transportation costs for goods traded internationally (Hummels, 1999). Transportation costs vary much more widely than do tariffs, allowing much more precise estimation of the trade elasticities that are central to CGE analysis of FTAs. We have highly disaggregated commodity trade flow data, and are therefore able to provide estimates that precisely match the commodity aggregation scheme employed in the subsequent CGE model. We follow the GTAP Version 5.0 aggregation scheme which includes 42 merchandise trade commodities covering food products, natural resources and manufactured goods. With the exception of two primary commodities that are not traded, we are able to estimate trade elasticities for all merchandise commodities that are significantly different form zero at the 95% confidence level. Rather than producing point estimates of the resulting welfare, export and employment effects, we report confidence intervals instead. These are based on repeated solution of the model, drawing from a distribution of trade elasticity estimates constructed based on the econometrically estimated standard errors. There is now a long history of CGE studies based on SSA: Systematic Sensitivity Analysis (Harrison and Vinod, 1992; Wigle, 1991; Pagon and Shannon, 1987) Ho
