Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Technical trade barriers are increasingly important in the international trade of agricultural products. Designing technical trade measures that can satisfy the growing demand for food safety, product differentiation, environmental amenities, and product information at the lowest cost to the consumer and to the international trading system requires an understanding of the complex economics of regulatory import barriers. This report proposes a definition and classification scheme to frame discussion and evaluation of such measures. Open-economy models that complement the classification scheme are developed graphically to highlight the basic elements that affect the economic impacts of changes in technical trade barriers."--Publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Hillman's Technical Barriers to Agricultural Trade is both timely and important. It is timely because the GATT negotiations are proceeding slowly in the agricultural arena partly due to a lack of agreement on technical barriers to agricultural trade. The book is important since it highlights many of the nontariff barriers which exist and concludes that they are significant impediments to international agricultural trade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: December 2000 The application of product regulations and standards is becoming increasingly contentious as an implicit nontariff barrier to trade. This overview of the policy debate and methodological issues surrounding product standards and technical barriers to trade proposes concrete steps to move forward empirical analysis of regulations and trade. There has been increasing use of technical regulations as instruments of commercial policy in the context of multilateral, regional, and global trade. These nontariff barriers are of special concern to developing countries, which may bear additional costs in meeting mandatory standards. Many industrial and developing countries express frustration with regulations that vary across their export markets, require duplicative conformity procedures, and are continually revised to exclude imports. Maskus, Wilson, and Otsuki provide a comprehensive overview of the policy debate and methodological issues surrounding product standards and technical barriers to trade. They begin with a review of the policy context driving demand for empirical analysis of standards in trade, then provide an analytical overview of the role of standards and their relationship to trade. They then review methodological approaches that have been used to analyze standards and their impact on trade. Their main interest lies in advancing techniques that are practical and may be fruitfully extended to the empirical analysis of regulations and trade. They discuss concrete steps that could be taken to move forward a practical, policy-relevant program of empirical research. Such steps would include: * Administering firm-level surveys in developing countries. * Devising methods for assessing how much standards restrict trade. * Establishing econometric approaches that could be applied to survey and microeconomic data, to improve understanding of the role of standards in exports. This paper--a product of Trade, Development Research Group--is part of a larger effort in the group to study new issues in international trade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to quantify the welfare and foreign exchange costs that arise in developing countries as a result of the protectionist policies pursued by developed countries with respect to many agricultural products. A detailed analysis is presented for four key commodities: sugar, beef, wheat, and maize. For each commodity, the potential gains to developing countries from a complete removal of tariff and nontariff barriers in developed countries are analyzed within the framework of a comparative-static world market equilibrium model. The study considers fifty-eight developing countries as well as seventeen developed countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trade flows and trade policies need to be properly quantified to describe, compare, or follow the evolution of policies between sectors or countries or over time. This is essential to ensure that policy choices are made with an appropriate knowledge of the real conditions. This practical guide introduces the main techniques of trade and trade policy data analysis. It shows how to develop the main indexes used to analyze trade flows, tariff structures, and non-tariff measures. It presents the databases needed to construct these indexes as well as the challenges faced in collecting and processing these data, such as measurement errors or aggregation bias. Written by experts with practical experience in the field, A Practical Guide to Trade Policy Analysis has been developed to contribute to enhance developing countries' capacity to analyze and implement trade policy. It offers a hands-on introduction on how to estimate the distributional effects of trade policies on welfare, in particular on inequality and poverty. The guide is aimed at government experts engaged in trade negotiations, as well as students and researchers involved in trade-related study or research. An accompanying DVD contains data sets and program command files required for the exercises. Copublished by the WTO and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development
