This paper tests two hypotheses regarding the impact of the U.S. Multifiber Arrangement restrictions on developing countries' exports of textiles and clothing to the United States: that the Multifibre Arrangement is a binding constraint on exporters; and that the arrangement encourages the growth of smaller exporters by restricting exports from major sellers. Pooled data on eight small Asian exporters over the period 1975-84 is used. Results strongly support the hypothesis that the Multifibre Arrangement has been a binding constraint. Although the arrangement appears to have diverted demand toward these smaller sellers, this effect is counteracted by slow growth in their own restraints. Copyright 1990 by MIT Press
