Book Synopsis The Political Economy of American Trade Policy by : Anne O. Krueger
Download or read book The Political Economy of American Trade Policy written by Anne O. Krueger and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the political and economic determinants of trade protection, this study provides a wealth of information on key American industries and documents the process of seeking and conferring protection. Eight analytical histories of the automobile, steel, semiconductor, lumber, wheat, and textile and apparel industries demonstrate that trade barriers rarely have unequivocal benefits and may be counterproductive. They show that criteria for awarding protection do not take into account the interests of consumers or other industries and that political influence and an organized lobby are major sources of protection. Based on these findings, a final essay suggests that current policy fails to consider adequately economic efficiency, the public good, and indirect negative effects. This volume will interest scholars in economics, business, and public policy who deal with trade issues.
Book Synopsis Economics and Political Economy of Trade Interventions in Response to Commodity Price Spikes by : T.M. Jayanthi Upamalika Thennakoon
Download or read book Economics and Political Economy of Trade Interventions in Response to Commodity Price Spikes written by T.M. Jayanthi Upamalika Thennakoon and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis analyses the economic effects and the political economy causes of actual and proposed trade policy interventions in response to agricultural commodity price spikes. It does so by employing a theoretical model of world trade that incorporates both import and export policies in a common framework. The thesis begins with an analysis of the economic effects of trade interventions by investigating terms of trade effects, welfare implications, and distributional impacts within countries. The international price effect of trade policy interventions of large (or sufficiently large group of small) food-importing countries in response to a price spike is to reinforce the initial exogenous price spike. Insofar as the policy reactions of importing countries trigger exporting countries to respond with trade policies, the price spike is further accentuated. The own-welfare effects also are accentuated. This thesis shows that if countries began with some trade restrictions, the national welfare effects are more complex. The welfare of countries that do not intervene in trade also is affected by interventions of other countries. The within-country distributional effects show that the effects on households' real income depend on initial proportions of their income from different productive factors and the initial proportions of their consumption expenditure on agricultural and non-agricultural tradables and on non-traded goods. The thesis then explains why countries alter their intervention in trade in response to a price spike despite their global economic cost, and analyses the implications for policy outcomes between food-importing and exporting countries. A political economy model is developed which predicts that government preferences for averting losses for domestic interest groups from a price spike lead to a change in trade distortions. In particular, trade interventions in response to a downward price spike are predicted as proposed by some developing country members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) for an agricultural Special Safeguard Mechanism. The model predicts that higher import tariffs are likely in a non-cooperative setting, and that higher export subsidies/lower export taxes will emerge in exporting countries in response to the raising of those tariffs. Another contribution of the thesis is to show that cooperative trade policies could lead to a more efficient outcome, and while self-enforcement of cooperation is unlikely in a one period game, in a repeated game setting and with possible involvement of the WTO an efficient outcome is possible. Drawing from the same political economy model to provide a political economy explanation for trade interventions in response to an upward price spike, the results show that the higher the concern for consumers, the higher will be the assistance received by them in the form of insulation from the international price spike. Similar to the results of the case of a downward price spike, the model predicts that cooperative trade policies are welfare improving for both importers and exporters even though the cooperation may not be self-enforcing in one period. An efficient trade policy outcome between food-importing and food-exporting countries can be achieved in a repeated game setting and with possible involvement of the WTO.

Book Synopsis The Political Economy of Trade Protection by : Anne O. Krueger
Download or read book The Political Economy of Trade Protection written by Anne O. Krueger and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This clear, concise summary of the in-depth analyses presented in The Political Economy of American Trade Policy examines the level, form, and evolution of American trade protection. In case studies of trade barriers imposed during the 1980s to help the steel, semiconductor, automobile, lumber, wheat, and textile and apparel industries, the contributors trace the evolution of efforts to obtain protection, protectionist measures, and their results. A chapter assessing the common themes that emerge from the studies concludes that the focus of current trade law is exclusively on the individual protection-seeking industries, with little regard for indirect effects on using industries or for consumers. Reform could usefully take these effects into account. This volume will interest policymakers, business executives, and anyone interested in trade policy formulation and practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of papers by former students and colleagues celebrates the profound impact that Jagdish Bhagwati has had on the field of international economics over the past three decades. Bhagwati, who is the Arthur Lehman Professor of Economics at Columbia University, has made pathbreaking contributions to the theory of international trade and commercial policy, including immiserizing growth, domestic distortions, economic development, and political economy. His success and influence as a teacher and mentor is widely recognized among students at both MIT and Columbia, and as founder of the Journal of International Economics, he has encouraged research on many questions of theoretical and policy relevance. The political economy of trade policy, Bhagwati's most recent area of interest, is the theme of this collection which addresses salient topics including market distortions, income distribution, and the political process of policy-making.

Book Synopsis Grounds for Agreement by : John M. Talbot
Download or read book Grounds for Agreement written by John M. Talbot and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2004-07-29 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the popularity of coffee and coffee shops has grown worldwide in recent years, so has another trend—globalization, which has greatly affected growers and distributors. This book analyzes changes in the structure of the coffee commodity chain since World War II. It follows the typical consumer dollar spent on coffee in the developed world and shows how this dollar is divided up among the coffee growers, processors, states, and transnational corporations involved in the chain. By tracing how this division of the coffee dollar has changed over time, Grounds for Agreement demonstrates that the politically regulated world market that prevailed from the 1960s through the 1980s was more fair for coffee growers than is the current, globalized market controlled by the corporations. Talbot explains why fair trade and organic coffees, by themselves, are not adequate to ensure fairness for all coffee growers and he argues that a return to a politically regulated market is the best way to solve the current crisis among coffee growers and producers.
Book Synopsis Lobbying and agricultural trade policy in the United States by : Kishore S. Gawande
Download or read book Lobbying and agricultural trade policy in the United States written by Kishore S. Gawande and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors study whether political campaign contributions influence agricultural protection in the United States in the manner suggested by the political economy model of Grossman and Helpman (1994). This is the first attempt to test this model using agricultural data. The authors test the model using a detailed cross-sectional data set of agricultural protection, subsidies, and political action committee (PAC) contributions in the late 1990s. The model is qualitatively affirmed by the data. They make a novel attempt to solve a puzzle about the model's quantitative implications, also found in recent studies. This solution makes the simple model consistent with the complicated decisionmaking process in real world government. The results imply the underpinnings of a political economy equilibrium that will be hard to dislodge.

Book Synopsis The Economics of Trade Protection by : Neil Vousden
Download or read book The Economics of Trade Protection written by Neil Vousden and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1990-08-31 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades there has been a gradual but fundamental change in the nature of trade protection. Even as international negotiation has succeeded in reducing tariffs to low levels, national governments have resorted to a range of increasingly intricate policies to protect their domestic industries from foreign competition. Direct quantitative restrictions on international trade have become particularly widespread. Such nontariff barriers often have very different effects from tariffs and require careful analysis in their own right. This book presents a systematic overview of the modern theory of trade protection. The material in the book divides naturally into four sections. The first section covers trade restrictions in competitive markets, the second trade restrictions and imperfect competition, the third the political economy of trade protection, and the fourth the theory of policy reform. The presentation makes extensive use of diagrams, with the more difficult mathematics included in six appendixes.
