Open economies work better! did Africa's protectionist policies cause its marginalization in world trade
What Are OECD Trade Preferences Worth to Sub-Saharan Africa
A problem which has complicated multilateral trade negotiations like GATT's Uruguay Round is that OECD countries have adopted important departures from the most-favored-nation (MFN) principle in their trade regimes. Recently these departures have taken the form of regional trade preferences, such as the Canada-United States Free Trade Arrangement, NAFTA, the Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Arrangement or European Community and EFTA preferences f…

Tariff valuation bases and trade among developing countries: Do developing countries discriminate against their own trade
When establishing the value of imports for tariff assessment, most countries apply duties to a cost‐insurance‐freight (c.i.f.) value of the traded good. One effect of using a c.i.f. valuation base is to place a disproportionate burden on countries that have relatively higher freight and insurance costs. Using matched tariff and transport cost information for six Latin American countries this study examines the influence of alternative valuation p…

A note on the functioning of international commodity price stabilisation agreements in periods of fluctuating monetary exchange rates
A belief held by many government officials and development economists is that sizeable and irregular commodity price fluctuations have important detrimental effects on both exporting and importing countries. Given the nature of these adverse effects attempts have been made to negotiate international price stabilisation agreements under which some central authority would make market interventions to offset the random price fluctuations. However, t…

On the Relation Between Income Levels, Industrialization and the Future Composition of Developing Country Exports
Monopoly power, barriers to competition and the pattern of price differentials in international trade
A comparative analysis of the incidence of tariffs and transportation costs on India's exports
Over the last decade, economists have conducted numerous studies concerning trade barriers posed by national tariffs. In spite of this interest, few comprehensive analyses of transport barriers have been attempted. This seems surprising since transport costs, like tariffs, influence the magnitudes of trade flows, and types of goods exchanged internationally. Recent changes in United States import statistics permit estimation of the incidence of i…
An Analysis of the Effect of Production Process Changes on Effective Protection Estimates
OVER the course of the last decade, economists have made increased use of the effective protection framework when analyzing the impact of various restrictions to international trade. A key feature of this measure is that it estimates the protection for value added in a production process rather than for product price.' Thus, while the nominal rate of protection relates solely to the final output, the effective rate accounts for the joint influenc…
