  2. ECONOMIC VALUATIONOF TRADABLE GOODS & SERVICES

  3. Tradable CommoditiesClassification of a Project’s Inputs and Outputs A good or service is considered tradable when an increase in demand (or supply) by a project does not affect the amount demanded by domestic consumers • An increase in demand for an IMPORTABLE commodity results in an increase in demand for imports • An increase in demand for an EXPORTABLE commodity results in a reduction in exports • An increase in supply of a tradable commodity by a project will cause either a reduction in imports or an increase in exports An Importable commodity includes imported goods and domestically produced goods that are close substitutes for imported goods An Exportable commodity includes exported goods and close substitutes for exported goods

  4. Measuring the Economic Values of Tradable Goods: Four Cases • Economic value of importable good production • Economic cost of importable input • Economic cost of exportable input • Economic value of export production

  5. Price S Domestic Supply Distorted World Supply Price Pm Em* PCIF* (1+Tm) + Fm D Domestic Demand Quantity per year so do Q Q so do Imports = Q - Q Em= Market Exchange Rate FM = Domestic Freight to Market Tm = Rate of Import Tariff PCIF = Price of imports at entry point to country, including international freight and insurance charges expressed in units of foreign currency Importable Good

  6. Price S domestic S w/ project Em * PCIF* (1+Tm) + Fm S world D domestic Qs0 Qs1 Qd0 Quantity Project Supplies More of an Importable Good Project reduces quantity imported. No change in domestic consumption.

  7. Estimating The Economic Prices of Tradable Goods 1. Adjust for commodity - specific trade distortions • Financial prices for the commodities demanded (or supplied) by a project must be adjusted for commodity-specific distortions and costs that drive a wedge between their international prices and their domestic market prices • Taxes and Subsidies are transfers between consumers, producers, and the government. Therefore, they are not part of the real resources consumed or produced by a project. 2. Value the foreign exchange at the economic (shadow) exchange rate (Ee) • Multiply the CIF and FOB prices at the border by the economic price of foreign exchange (Ee). • Alternatively, add a foreign exchange premium [(Ee/Em) - 1], or [(Ee/OER) - 1], per unit of foreign exchange demanded (or supplied) by a project. 3. Adjust for handling and transportation costs • The economic costs of handling and transportation that are necessary to move commodities to or from the point of entry must be included. • In the case of imported commodities, these costs should be added to the CIF price. • In the case of exported commodities, these costs should be subtracted from the FOB price.

  8. Visayas Communal Irrigation Project Basic Facts • The National Irrigation Administration (Philippine National Agency) proposes to rehabilitate 55 damaged communal irrigation systems and to build 25 new systems in Visayas. • The project’s additional components include water protection and erosion control, the strengthening of irrigation association, and the development of agricultural extension services. • The goal of the project is to alleviate poverty, while improving environmental sustainability of the region. • The life of project is 20 years. • The economic benefits arise from the increased production of rice and corn, which must otherwise be imported. • The foreign exchange premium is 24.6%. • The project is expected to cost approximately 480.910 million pesos (US$19.78 million). • The project will be financed with US$15.1 million loan from the International Fund for Agricultural Development, and remaining funding would be provided by the Philippine government.

For Economic Exchange Rate) + Economic Cost of Local Freight from Port to Market - Economic Cost of Local Freight from Project to Market Economic Cost of Imported Input = CIF (adj. For Economic Exchange Rate) + Economic Cost of Freight from Port to Project Economic Cost of Exportable Input = FOB (adj. For Economic Exchange Rate) + Economic Cost of Local Freight from Export Producer to Project - Economic Cost of Local Freight from Export Producer to Port Economic Value of Exportable Production = FOB (adj. For Economic Exchange Rate) - Economic Cost of Local Freight from Project to Port
