Book excerpt: Extract: This report critically reviews econometrically estimated export demand equations, multiregion world trade models, including nonspatial and spatial price equilibrium models, and trade flow and market share models. Both single- and multiple-product models are treated.

The report ends with an appraisal of the state of the art and recommends directions for future research and modeling work on agricultural trade.
