Abstract
The main purposes of this study are to construct an empirical econometric model for measuring the supply and demand of persimmon product, to estimate the quantity of domestic supply, demand and import potential under WTO free trade import scheme, to estimate the impacts of trade competition on persimmon product, and finally to analyze and discuss the negotiation efficiency of the practical TRQ policies set up for persimmon importation in action. The empirical analyses revealed that the quantity of domestic import potential could fully fill the tariff quota requires under the within-quota rate (25%). As estimated, the practical TRQ administration policies for persimmon will increase the producer surplus among NT$ 742~807 million. Also, under the over-quota rate (among 144%~122%), the imported products would be difficult to enter the domestic market in the short run. Since the TRQ polices will be canceled on 2007, the market equilibrium price will fall to $108 and it could strongly reduce the total revenue of domestic producers, and therefore we should improve the marketing system. The results also imply that TRQ polices will truly help decreasing the impacts from trade liberalization, and it proves that the previous negotiations are successful in a sense to protect the domestic persimmon industry from serious import competition.
