Big hits in export growth
The international diffusion of food innovations and the nutrition transition
INTRODUCTION: There is a lack of quantitative evidence on the role of food innovations-new food ingredients and processing techniques-in the nutrition transition. OBJECTIVE: Document the distribution of food innovations across 67 high-income (HIC) and middle-income (MIC) countries between 1970 and 2010, and its association with the nutritional composition of food supply. METHODS: We used all available data on food patents, as compiled by the Euro…
Do standards improve the quality of traded products
We examine whether standards raise the quality of traded products. Matching a panel of French firm–product–destination export data with a data set on sanitary and phytosanitary measures and technical barriers to trade, we find that such quality standards enforced on products by destination countries: (i) favour the export probability of high‐quality firms provided that their productivity is high enough, (ii) raise the export sales of high‐product…
Economic drivers of public procurement‐related protection
Public procurement represents a substantial share of gross domestic product (GDP) in many countries and is notoriously home‐biased as a result of often opaque practices. However, little is known about the determinants of restrictions on public procurement policies. To explore this issue, we map information from the Global Trade Alert (GTA) database on regulatory obstacles to public procurement alongside international trade flows at the country pa…
Can foods produced with new plant engineering techniques succeed in the marketplace? A case study of apples
We present a model for research and development (R&D) investment in food innovations based on new plant engineering techniques (NPETs) and traditional hybridization methods. The framework combines uncertain and costly food innovation with consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for the new food. The framework is applied with elicited WTP of French and US consumers for new improved apples. NPETs may be socially beneficial under full information and wh…

The Economics and Potential Protectionism of Food Safety Standards and Inspections
We formally investigate the effects of an inspection system influencing safety of foreign and domestic food products in the domestic market. Consumers purchase domestic and imported food and value safety. Potential protectionism à la Fisher and Serra (2000) can arise: inspection frequency imposed on foreign producers set by a domestic social planner would be higher than the corresponding policy set by a global social planner treating all producer…
Welfare costs and benefits of non-tariff measures in trade
This paper provides a systematic welfare-based approach to analyze the impact of non-tariff measures (NTMs) on trade and welfare in the presence of market imperfections. It focuses on standard-like measures such as technical barriers and sanitary and phytosanitary regulations. The approach overcomes the shortcomings of the mainstream approach based on the analysis of foregone trade caused by trade costs. The latter ignores market imperfections, a…

Tariff Liberalization and Trade Integration of Emerging Countries
This paper investigates how tariff liberalization has affected exporting at the product‐destination level in emerging countries. We use a highly disaggregated (six‐digit level of the harmonized system— HS —classification) bilateral measure of market access to compare tariffs applied in 1996 and 2006, which includes the timing of the U ruguay Round and episodes of bilateral liberalization. Our econometric estimations consider impacts of tariff cut…
Trade restrictiveness indices in the presence of externalities
We extend the trade restrictiveness index approach to the case of market imperfections and domestic regulations addressing them. We focus on standard‐like non‐tariff measures (NTMs) affecting cost of production and potentially enhancing demand by reducing negative externalities. We apply the framework to the database of Kee et al. and derive ad valorem equivalents (AVEs) for technical measures. About 39% of the product lines affected by NTMs exhi…

North-South Standards Harmonization and International Trade
Recent years have seen a surge in economic integration agreements (EIAs) and the development of non-tariff measures (NTMs). As a consequence, a growing number of EIAs include provisions on NTMs. However, little attention has been given in the literature to the effects of NTM liberalization in the context of EIAs. In this paper, we focus on provisions for technical regulations and analyze whether the North-South harmonization of technical barriers…

The Puzzling Persistence of the Distance Effect on Bilateral Trade
One of the best-established empirical results in international economics is that bilateral trade decreases with distance. Although well known, this result has not been systematically analyzed before. We examine 1,467 distance effects estimated in 103 papers. Information collected on each estimate allows us to test hypotheses about the causes of variation in the estimates. Our most interesting finding is that the estimated negative impact of dista…

La qualité du cadre juridique constitue-t-elle une barrière au commerce
Cet article examine les implications de la qualité du cadre juridique sur le commerce. L’échantillon retenu porte sur les échanges entre les pays européens au cours de la période 1995-1999. Durant cette période, les pays en transition d’Europe de l’Est ont substitué à l’ancien contrôle juridique administré des systèmes légaux répondant aux critères de l’économie de marché. Cependant, malgré les efforts entrepris, la qualité de leur cadre juridiqu…

How do consumers in developed countries value the environment and workers’ social rights in developing countries
Effets frontières et commerce régional
Plusieurs études ont récemment montré l'importance des frontières dans les flux commerciaux internationaux. La présence des frontières maintient les échanges entre pays à un niveau inférieur aux échanges domestiques. Notre étude, basée sur la méthode dite "des effets frontières", porte sur l'intégration régionale de la zone Balkanique au cours de la période 1993-97. Les résultats obtenus suggèrent la présence d'un biais domestique important au se…
