This publication is concerned with cotton subsidies in the context of the 2012 US farm bill. The author analyses advantages and disadvantages of proposed reforms, in particular whether the elimination of the direct and countercyclical payment programs along with a reform of the marketing loan rate reduce trade distortions more than the added distortions with the introduction of the “Stacked Income Protection Plan” (STAX).
