英文文献摘要：
We investigate the factors behind the growing U.S. trade deficit in consumer-oriented agricultural products by using reliable panel data and an empirical trade model derived from international trade theory. The results indicate that per capita income in the United States appears to be the most important determinant for the growing U.S. trade deficit. An increase in per capita income and trade liberalization in foreign countries would improve U.S. trade balance. U.S. foreign direct investment abroad in food manufactures, a strong U.S. dollar and NAFTA are found to have negative effects on U.S. trade balance.

我们使用可靠的面板数据和从国际贸易理论推导出的实证贸易模型，调查了美国消费导向型农产品贸易赤字不断增长背后的因素。结果表明，美国的人均收入似乎是美国贸易赤字增长的最重要决定因素。人均收入的增加和外国贸易自由化将改善美国的贸易平衡。研究发现，美国对食品制造业的海外直接投资、强势美元和北美自由贸易协定对美国的贸易平衡有负面影响。
