- 요약This dissertation consists of three chapters. In the first chapter, we study factors that influence Chinese seafood trade patterns by estimating gravity-type models for the main product forms. The results indicate substantial variations in trade patterns across product categories. In particular, seafood in the live and fresh product forms are a separate group for which trade is significantly more influenced by distance and income level, while the size of the economy and regional locations significantly affects the trade of products in other forms. Particularly notable is the lower unit value of the products shipped to Africa.The second chapter investigates the determinants of the duration of food imports into China. An important tool to foster trade in many developing countries is to engage in only intermediate stages of production by processing imported inputs for re-exporting without paying tariffs. I show that imports under this trade regime are associated with shorter trade relationships than those involving ordinary imports, suggesting more opportunistic behavior with respect to sourcing for this group of importers. Trade duration is also found to be correlated with firm- and firm-product factors, including organizational structures, prior experience, and product categories. There are significant differences in trade duration by product groups, as well as factors affecting them, highlighting heterogeneous trade dynamics.In the third chapter, we quantify responses of food prices to demand shocks induced by government policies designed to combat the novel coronavirus, namely health emergency declarations and subsequent lockdowns. Using an event-study framework that controls for seasonality, we find that food prices in Chinese cities jump after policy announcements, with significant effects, up to 20% on a daily basis, for non-perishable products only. This suggests that residents stockpile non-perishable products for at-home consumption. We argue that fear of the virus is unlikely to be the main driver of our results. Lastly, we highlight heterogeneous effects associated with lockdown strictness and timing.
