Book Synopsis the challenge of reducing international trade and migration barriers by : Kym Anderson
Download or read book the challenge of reducing international trade and migration barriers written by Kym Anderson and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2008 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: While barriers to trade in most goods and some services including capital flows have been reduced considerably over the past two decades, many remain. Such policies harm most the economies imposing them, but the worst of the merchandise barriers (in agriculture and textiles) are particularly harmful to the world's poorest people, as are barriers to worker migration across borders. This paper focuses on how costly those anti-poor trade policies are, and examines possible strategies to reduce remaining distortions. Two opportunities in particular are addressed: completing the Doha Development Agenda process at the World Trade Organization (WTO), and freeing up the international movement of workers. A review of the economic benefits and adjustment costs associated with these opportunities provides the foundation to undertake benefit/cost analysis required to rank this set of opportunities against those aimed at addressing the world's other key challenges as part of the Copenhagen Consensus project. The paper concludes with key caveats and suggests that taking up these opportunities could generate huge social benefit/cost ratios that are considerably higher than the direct economic ones quantified in this study, even without factoring in their contribution to alleviating several of the other challenges identified by that project, including malnutrition, disease, poor education and air pollution.
Book Synopsis The Challenge of Reducing Subsidies and Trade Barriers by : Kym Anderson
Download or read book The Challenge of Reducing Subsidies and Trade Barriers written by Kym Anderson and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2004 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is one of 10 studies for the Copenhagen Consensus Project that sought to evaluate the most feasible opportunities to improve welfare globally and alleviate poverty in developing countries. Anderson argues that phasing out distortionary government subsidies and barriers to international trade will yield an extraordinarily high benefit-cost ratio. A survey is provided of recent estimates using global economywide simulation models of the benefits of doing that by way of the current Doha round of multilateral trade negotiations. Even if adjustment costs are several times as large as suggested by available estimates, the benefit-cost ratio from seizing this opportunity exceeds 20. That is much higher than the rewards from regional or bilateral trade agreements or from providing preferential access for least-developed countries' exports to high-income countries. Such reform would simultaneously contribute to alleviating several of the other key challenges reflected in the United Nation's Millennium Development Goals"--Abstract.

Book Synopsis Free Trade In The World Economy by : Herbert Giersch
Download or read book Free Trade In The World Economy written by Herbert Giersch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-04 with total page 633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International trade policy is facing a cross-roads. This is creating uncertainty, impairing world economic growth. Unless a policy of more open markets is pursued, protectionism may well turn into a self-perpetuating and cumulative process. This is why the 1986 Kiel Conference was devoted to Free Trade in the World Economy: Towards an Opening of Markets. We felt that such a conference would help to stimulate policy discussion preceding the Uruguay Round under the auspices of the GATT and the moves within the European Community towards completing a common internal market by 1992.

Book excerpt: This document contains background material on trade policy issues prepared by the staff of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Part 1 reviews recent developments in trade and represents a part of the ongoing work by IMF staff on trade policies. It emphasizes policy developments in the major trading nations as they relate to trade in industrial and agricultural products and reviews trade policies in developing countries. Part 2 focuses on nontariff measures that inhibit trade in both industrial and developing countries. It argues that action to liberalize these restraints is of the greatest importance in stimulating trade and economic growth and in strengthening the international trade system. Evidence is presented on the extent and prevalence of nontariff measures in world trade; the significant costs of these measures both for the countries imposing them and for their trading partners are analyzed; and the linkages between trade, finance, and structural adjustment are discussed.

Book excerpt: The Role of Trade in Ending Poverty looks at the complex relationships between economic growth, poverty reduction and trade, and examines the challenges that poor people face in benefiting from trade opportunities. Written jointly by the World Bank Group and the WTO, the publication examines how trade could make a greater contribution to ending poverty by increasing efforts to lower trade costs, improve the enabling environment, implement trade policy in conjunction with other areas of policy, better manage risks faced by the poor, and improve data used for policy-making.
Book Synopsis Developing Countries in the GATT Legal System by : Robert E. Hudec
Download or read book Developing Countries in the GATT Legal System written by Robert E. Hudec and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-15 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this reissued edition of the classic work Developing Countries in the GATT Legal System, Robert E. Hudec's clear insight on the situation of developing countries within the international trade system is once again made available. Hudec is regarded as one of the most prominent commentators on the evolution of the current international trade regime, and this long out-of-print book offers his analysis of the dynamics playing out between developed and developing nations. A significant contribution when the book was first published, this work continues to serve as a thoughtful and important guide to how current and future trade policy must seriously adapt to the demands of the developing world. This new edition includes a new introduction by J. Michael Finger that examines Hudec's work to understand how the GATT got into its current historical-institutional predicament and the lasting impact of his work on current research on international trade systems.

Book Synopsis Developed Country Trade Barriers and the Least Developed Countries by : Jon Haveman

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 2001 Doha Development Round ministerial declaration, countries committed themselves "to the objective of duty-free, quota-free market access for products originating from LDCs." In this light, this paper investigates the current tariff barriers put in place and preferences granted by the Triad countries regarding products from LDCs. It first investigates preferences in policy - the simple average tariffs faced by LDCs - and then looks at barriers in practice, analyzing the extent to which LDCs have been able to take advantage of the variety of preferences granted. It also explores the LDC tariff barriers against goods from other countries. It finds that Triad tariff barriers against LDC products have fallen dramatically and are especially low in the EU. However, barriers remain against certain products in which LDCs specialize, so that U.S. import-weighted tariffs for LDC goods are actually higher than U.S. import-weighted tariffs for goods of countries subject to MFN tariffs. Furthermore, the LDCs themselves tend to favor goods from the advanced industrial countries. These results indicate that there is still much room for tariff reductions for LDC goods, especially in the United States, and that such reductions must take account of LDC production capabilities.

Book Synopsis The Effects of Trade Barriers on Growth by : Farrokh Kahnamoui
Download or read book The Effects of Trade Barriers on Growth written by Farrokh Kahnamoui and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although many economists believe that there is a negative correlation between trade barriers and economic growth, the issue is far from resolved. There are other studies that have obtained mixed results on the effect of trade barriers on growth. Such results could be due to model misspecification, erroneous methodology or country and world specific conditions. This paper investigates the impact of trade barriers under certain country specific conditions to help determine if such mixed results are at least partially due to different conditions in different countries. The country specific conditions to be investigated are market size, availability of export credits and technological spillovers due to trade. Chapter 1 "The Case of Large vs. Small Economies", investigates whether market size has any impact on how trade barriers affect economic growth. The focus of this chapter is a theory proposed by Grabowski (1994). In his theory he states that for import substitution strategy to be successful the domestic economy should be large enough to generate and sustain demand for the protected sector. This chapter attempts to test this theory empirically. Chapter 2 "The Case of Export Credits", looks at the impact of trade barriers on economic growth in the presence of export credits. Since export credits are extended by the developed countries to the developing ones to promote exports from the former to the latter, this may change the way trade restrictions affect economic growth in developing countries. This chapter attempts to find out if this is in fact the case. Chapter 3 "Do Potential Technological Spillovers Matter for How Trade Restrictions Affect Economic Growth?" focuses on the impact of technological spillovers on economic growth due to trade. Certain factors that contribute to technological spillovers are considered and their impact on how trade barriers affect growth is investigated.
