The development of first generation biofuels, based on existing agricultural crops such as corn and sugarcane, has strengthened the linkage between agricultural commodity markets and energy markets. This paper analyzes the implications of U.S. domestic and trade policies for ethanol in the face of fluctuations in petroleum prices and the domestic supply of feedstock (corn). The current U.S. policy mix involves a prohibitive tariff on imported ethanol, a fixed subsidy for blending ethanol with gasoline, and a blending or consumption mandate. Under this closed economy case, as the likelihood that the mandate is binding increases the variability of ethanol use declines, the impact of oil price variations on corn prices is reduced, and the impa...
