LONG-TERM HEDGING ANALYSIS FOR SOYBEANS, 1973-95

The study analyzed a two-year hedge for soybeans in three states trying to capture high prices. The differences in prices received over a 23 year period were not significant when compared to annual hedges or cash sales.Demand and Price Analysis, Marketing,

U.S. --MEXICO FOOD SYSTEMS AND THE TOMATO TRADE DISPUTE

Mexican produce exports into the U.S. increased considerably during the latter months of 1995 and the first nine months of 1996. Because of these increased imports, Florida tomato growers requested the executive branch of the U.S. government and Congress to put into effect seven trade protection measures to reduce or stop fresh tomato imports from Mexico. This study was carried out to determine if the United State Department of Commerce (USDOC) and the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) found valid and reliable indications that the tomato industry in the U.S. was materially injured by imports from Mexico.International Relations/Trade,

An economic analysis of the fresh winter tomato trade dispute between the United States and Mexico: A material injury determination for the United States tomato industry using the CADIC model

Traditionally, Mexico has had competitive and comparative advantages in its fruit and vegetable sectors. The main market for those products has been the U.S. Mexico\u27s export potential is increased further because the protection reached for the fruit and vegetable sectors under NAFTA. Mexican produce exports into the U.S. winter market had a considerable increase in the last months of 1995 and three quarters of 1996. Because of these sudden increases, Florida growers requested from the U.S. Administration, Congress and Senate to put into effect seven different trade protection measures in order to stop fresh tomato imports from Mexico. From such protection measures, the antidumping investigation against fresh tomato imports coming from Mexico into the U.S. was the hardest one faced by Mexican officials and Mexican tomato growers. This study was carried out in order to determine whether the United States Department of Commerce (USDOC) and the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) staff found valid and reliable indications that an industry in the U.S. was materially injured by imports from Mexico of fresh tomatoes that were sold in the U.S. market at less than fair value (LTFV). It can be concluded in this study, that U.S. antidumping laws have worked in a protectionist direction that have favored U.S. domestic producers and have gone against foreign producers, foreign exporters, U.S. consumers and U.S. importers. The previous fact may represent a serious problem for the U.S. in the future. With the U.S. being the world\u27s leader in dumping technology, many countries around the world are copying U.S. antidumping laws in drafting their own national dumping procedures. Therefore, during the coming years U.S. domestic products going abroad will face similar protection measures as the ones faced nowadays by foreign products coming into the U.S. market

The association of DNA Repair with breast cancer risk in women. A comparative observational study

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Previous studies have found a link between a low DNA repair capacity (DRC) level and increased cancer risk. Our aim was to assess the statistical association of DRC level and breast cancer (BC) using a case–control epidemiological study in a Hispanic community.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>We conducted a comparative observational study to assess the validity of DRC in detecting BC in 824 women throughout Puerto Rico. Over a 6-year period, we compared 285 women newly diagnosed with BC to 539 without BC. DRC levels were measured in lymphocytes by means of a host-cell reactivation assay. We assessed the sensitivity, specificity, and association using the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Multiple logistic regression-adjusted odds ratios were estimated with 95% confidence level to measure the strength of the association of DRC and BC after adjusting for all confounders simultaneously.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Compared to women without cancer, women with BC showed an average decrease of 60% in their DRC levels (<it>p</it> < 0.001). Validity of the association of DRC as a measure of BC risk showed a sensitivity of 83.2% and specificity of 77.6% (<it>p</it> < 0.0001).</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Our results support the usefulness of DRC level as a measure of BC risk. Additional studies in other populations are needed to further verify its usefulness.</p
