Farm policy instruments impact international trade and economic welfare. A new study analyzed data from 1960 to 2004 to determine the effects of different policies on global trade. The research shows that border taxes have the biggest influence on trade and welfare, but reductions in export taxes also play a significant role in agricultural policy reforms since the 1980s.
