      abstract = {This report provides summaries of the papers and  discussions at
the third Consortium on Trade Research held  in Washington, D.C.,
June 23-24, 1981. The cochairmen of  the consortium were
T. Kelley White, Economic Research  Service (ERS), George E.
Rossmiller, Foreign Agricultural  Service (FAS), and Vernon
Sorenson, Michigan State  University.
The Consortium focused on world demand for  agricultural imports
and the policies and conditions in  low-income, middle-income,
and centrally planned countries  that influence import demand.
An overview paper by Dewain  Rahe and Cheryl Christensen assessed
future global  prospects for agricultural trade. Peter Timmer's
paper  investigated conceptual and empirical problems in  analyzing
import demand. Three of the papers discussed the  demand
for food and agricultural products in the Soviet  Union and
China. Three additional papers focused on factors  affecting
import demand in low- and middle-income  countries. A final set
of papers examined the role of  bilateral agreements and stockholding
policies in  agricultural trade.},
