The Bitter Taste of Brazil's Temporary Import Ban on Robusta Coffee
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Brazil, a leading Robusta coffee producer and exporter, faced a significant drought in 2016–2017, which drastically reduced production and depleted stocks. Consequently, Brazil temporarily permitted the import of one million 60‐kg bags of Robusta coffee in the spring 2017. An import ban was imposed shortly afterward due to lobbying by domestic

Price Premiums for Single‐Name and Compound‐Name Geographical Indications in Swiss Cheese Trade
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Geographical indications (GIs) have become increasingly important in agri‐food markets, especially in Europe. For Swiss cheese imports and exports, we analyze whether GIs are associated with higher trade prices. We find that price premiums can be obtained for both exports and imports. However, this is only the case for cheeses with single name

The serviceability of normal-use, non-domestic buildings in earthquakes
Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2006 This paper reports on an empirical study of whether it is necessary to carry out design checks on the serviceability of normal-use non-domestic buildings in earthquakes in New Zealand. It is found that at the relevant hazard level, i.e. at a return period of 25 years, the highest intensity anywhere in New Zealand is Modified Mercalli VII (MM7). At that
