Análisis del impacto de la Barrera Zoosanitaria sobre el flujo de exportaciones ganaderas para la Provincia de Río Negro

Abstract

This work evaluates, from a quantitative perspective, the impact of the unification of the Patagonian Zoosanitary Barrier against Foot-and-Mouth Disease on exports of bovine meat products from Rio Negro, for the period between 2005 and 2017. For this purpose, the differences in differences model and a gravity model of foreign trade were used. The results of the analysis have shown that Río Negro has a differential performance in its exports compared to the rest of the provinces used as contrast, although no impact that can be attributed to the change in current regulations on coverage of the sanitary barrier are observed.
