This book was released on 2002-05-23 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International experts from law, economics and political science provide in-depth analysis of international trade issues. Attorneys, economists and political scientists adopt a common viewpoint, entitled 'transcending the ostensible'. This approach directs particular attention to the possibility that WTO legal institutions, like other international legal institutions, will function in unexpected ways due to the political and economic conditions of the international environment in which they have been created, and in which they operate. A range of trade problems are considered here. Topics include the constitutional dimensions of international trade law, adding subjects and restructuring existing subjects to international trade law, the legal relations between developed and developing countries, and the operation of the WTO dispute settlement procedure. This will be an essential volume for professionals and academics involved with international trade policy.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays of this book are contributions to the empirical Literature in International Trade and Public Economics. They deal with the relationship between the structure and quality of the public sector and the process of economic integration. Two of the essays add to the empirical determinants of trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) and to the numerous applications of the theory of government decentralization. Decentralization tends to discourage inward FDI and domestic trade and to increase imports and exports. A third essay focuses on the effect of governments' intangible assets - such as consumer perceptions about countries and products from these countries - on FDI. A country's nation brand is shown to have a significant and large positive effect on investment flows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (cont.) This implies that, with trade opening, predictions about factor content of trade can be reversed if the elites' factor endowments differ from that of the economy. A capitalist elite will distort capital-intensive sectors less than others, which may more than compensate for the scarcity of that factor, and make the country a net exporter of capital-intensive goods. Also, when opening to international capital markets, the direction of capital flows can be reverted. The elites will distort capital-intensive sectors less, which may more than compensate for the abundance of capital, and drive its return above that on the rest world. The third essay provides econometric evidence that the model in the first essay is consistent with the data. Using a panel of 92 countries and 17 years, I show that non-democratic regimes that trade more experience more expropriation, while this is not the case for democratic regimes. The results are robust to different econometric specifications and different sets of controls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this PhD thesis is to to empirically assess the impact of different institutional frameworks on cross-border trade and direct investment. The thesis consists of three substantive essays. In the first essay, I analyze the repercussions of institutional uncertainty on international trade. The results imply that institutional uncertainty has a significant and robust negative impact on trade volumes. The second and the third chapters of the thesis focus on particular types of contracts among sovereign nations that govern their economic relations: preferential trade agreements and bilateral investment treaties. The objective of the second essay is to test the hypothesis that a preferential trade agreements increases the bilateral investment of its members and I find a strong and robust effect (for developed and developing countries alike). Based on the results of the second chapter, I test in a third essay whether a bilateral investment treaty between a developing and a developed country influences the partners’ trade flows, but the empirical effect of bilateral investment treaties on trade collapses once strict exogeneity is accounted for.

Part 2 puts a stronger emphasis on dynamic economics.

Download or read book Essays on Institutional and Macroeconomic Aspects of International Trade written by David J. Kuenzel and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overarching theme of this dissertation is the analysis of institutional and macroeconomic factors that shape and interact with international trade. Chapters 1, 2 and 4 of this dissertation examine how institutional arrangements impact trade policy decisions and bilateral trade flows, while chapter 3 analyzes how the structural composition of trade affects macroeconomic development. Chapters 1 and 2 focus on the emergence of trade disputes in the World Trade Organization (WTO). Starting out in chapter 1 with a thorough stylized facts analysis of the usage pattern of the WTO dispute settlement mechanism, chapter 2 develops and empirically tests a model of members' selection into WTO disputes which can account for a number of key discoveries in the data. In particular, I extend the standard WTO theory by incorporating a link between endogenous trade policy formation and agreement violation and dispute filing decisions. I show that countries are more likely to engage in trade disputes as complainants or defendants when they have a small ``tariff overhang'', which represents the difference between bound tariffs (by WTO negotiations) and the actually applied tariffs. Chapter 3 considers the question whether the structure of a nation's trade flows has a clear-cut effect on economic growth. In the growth determinants literature, numerous alternative candidate regressors have been motivated by alternative theories but not one trade regressor has been robustly related to growth. Instead of relying on aggregate trade measures as previous studies, chapter 3 proposes a structured approach and examines the diversity of sectoral exports as a potential growth determinant. Controlling for model uncertainty and endogeneity, chapter 3 shows that export diversity serves as a crucial growth determinant for low income countries, an effect that weakens with the level of development. Chapter 4 examines to what extent underlying differences in the design of preferential trade agreements (PTAs) are responsible for the observed heterogeneity in PTA effects on bilateral trade flows. Controlling in the estimation framework for multilateral resistance terms and bilateral heterogeneity to reduce omitted variable and endogeneity biases, chapter 4 shows that PTAs focusing on goods trade liberalization and the legal enforceability of agreement provisions are most successful in raising trade flows. Moreover, countries' efforts to harmonize product standards and other regulations decrease bilateral trade flows, at least initially. The results also show that the underlying agreement dimension effects mostly operate through the intensive margin of trade.
Download or read book Trends in World Trade written by Alan S. Alexandroff and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the critical issues facing the global trading system today. As the title suggests, Trends in World Trade honors one of the world's great trade policy experts -- Sylvia Ostry. Sylvia is recognized as one of the quintessential trade and investment experts whose career spans public and academic service in Canada. The issues addressed represent central questions in the development of the international economy. This book covers, among other things, institutional concerns such as the adequacy of World Trade Organization governance and its growing judicialization. Trends in World Trade examines the consequences for the global economy of China's admittance to the WTO. It also examines the consequences of continuing system friction -- one of Sylvia Ostry's many contributions to our understanding of global trade relations. The contributors tackle global trade challenges from transparency to the matter of coherence, and from agricultural subsidies to the challenges of global investment. This volume also looks at the impact of international trade, finance and investment on states and their societies. Students of trade, trade experts, practitioners, and trade officials will find this volume a must-read for a better understanding of the trends in the global trade regime. This book is part of the Studies on Globalization and Society Series, edited by Raj Bhala, Rice Distinguished Professor, The University of Kansas School of Law.
