      abstract = {A possible Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership  (TTIP) agreement will further integrate agricultural  markets between the United States and the European Union.  The elimination of tariffs and cooperation on Sanitary and  Phytosanitary measures will promote cross-Atlantic trade.  We empirically estimate the impacts of tariffs and Maximum  Residue Limits (MRLs) on trade in plant products between  the two partners. Furthermore, we simulate trade expansions  under plausible negotiation outcomes. We find that a TTIP  agreement promotes cross-Atlantic trade in plant products,  in both directions, by over 60% if tariffs are removed and  MRLs are mutually recognized or harmonized to Codex  levels.},
