Book Some Economic Effects of the Free Trade Agreement Between Tunisia and the European Union

Download or read book Some Economic Effects of the Free Trade Agreement Between Tunisia and the European Union written by Alan V. Deardorff and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We use a specially constructed version of the Michigan Brown-Deardorff-Stern (BDS) Computational General Equilibrium (CGE) Model of World production and Trade to estimate the potential economic effects on the Tunisian economy that may result from the free trade agreement (FTA) between Tunisia and the European Union (EU) that was concluded in July 1995. We find that the static welfare benefits for Tunisia of the FTA range from slightly negative to somewhat positive, depending on what is assumed about intersectoral capital mobility in Tunisia.

Book EU Tunisia DCFTA  Good Intentions Not Enough   Shift Needed from Deep to Deliberate  Comprehensive to Coherent and from Free to Fair Trade

Download or read book EU Tunisia DCFTA Good Intentions Not Enough Shift Needed from Deep to Deliberate Comprehensive to Coherent and from Free to Fair Trade written by Bettina Rudloff and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The European Union has been negotiating a new free trade agreement (DCFTA) with Tunisia since 2016, seeking to expand mutual market access for all goods, and also services and investments. But great obstacles remain to be overcome. The EU hesitates to grant concessions on agriculture that would make a deal attractive to Tunis, while overall resistance exists within Tunisian civil society, business and politics. A shrewd agreement could promote economic modernisation and growth, to strengthen and stabilise Tunisia's young democracy. That is obviously also in the EU's interest. But substantial progress cannot be expected until after elections to the European Parliament and parliamentary and presidential elections in Tunisia in late 2019. The intervening period should be used to generate a broader consensus in Tunisia and to enable Tunis to create a negotiating strategy of its own. (author's abstract)

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Country Report for Tunisia presents the main results of the broader ex-post evaluation of the impact of trade chapters of the Euro-Mediterranean Association Agreements with six partners (Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia; presented in its entirety in the associated Regional Report) while distilling from it the findings and implications particularly relevant in the context of the Association Agreement between the European Union and Tunisia. The purpose of the evaluation was to assess the achievement of the main objectives of the trade chapters of the Euro-Mediterranean Association Agreements as well as of the supplementary trade-related protocols or agreements complementing the FTAs. The evaluation assessed the extent to which the objectives of the Euro-Med FTAs have been reached in terms of the following criteria listed in the EU's Better Regulation guidelines and toolbox: effectiveness, efficiency, coherence and relevance.

Book Scale Economies  Horizontal Product Differentiation and the FTA Between Tunisia and the EU

Download or read book Scale Economies Horizontal Product Differentiation and the FTA Between Tunisia and the EU written by Rim Chatti and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tunisia was the first country south of the Mediterranean to conclude a free trade agreement with the European Union in 1995. The agreement is expected to promote growth and employment through efficient reallocation of resources and scale economies exploitation. The aim of this paper is to provide some general equilibrium estimates of the agreement impact on scale economies exploitation as well as on pro-competitive and varieties effects. Simulation results show that welfare gains under monopolistic competition would be greater than those that would be achieved under perfect competition. The expansion of firm's average size and the increase of the number of available varieties are behind such results, despite the adverse terms of trade change. At the sectoral level, the models predict that mechanical and electrical machineries, chemicals and textile, apparel and leather are the goods for which Tunisia has a comparative advantage.

Book Development by Free Trade

Download or read book Development by Free Trade written by Gisela Baumgratz and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One year ago the negotiations between Tunisia and the European Union about a deep and comprehensive free trade agreement (DCFTA) had started in Tunis. Experts from both sides of the Mediterranean accepted to contribute to this book in order to foster the public debate in the North-African countries by informing actors of the civil society about the risks of this new generation of free trade agreements of the EU for the respective countries and their population. In fact, by analyzing the impact of the structural adjustment programs of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund in Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria since the late 1980s followed up by the EU's free trade policy, the authors seriously doubt about the positive effects on development and prosperity promised by the promotors of free trade. They underline, on the contrary, that it is the EU which profits from the asymmetric power-relations in order to pursue its economic and especially its security interests related to "illegal migration".

Book The Liberalization of Tunisian Agriculture and the European Union

Download or read book The Liberalization of Tunisian Agriculture and the European Union written by Mohamed Abdelasset Chemingui and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 2000, Tunisia and the European Union are to begin negotiations on the liberalization of agricultural trade between them under the terms of a partnership agreement signed in 1995. The political attachment of Tunisia to Europe will provide an opportunity for it to leave behind the agricultural policy pursued hitherto, a policy aimed essentially at achieving self-sufficiency in food production. This has proved to be costly for the country since it has led to poor resource allocation. The issue is therefore one of how to reform Tunisian agriculture at the least possible cost, especially for rural households, and to determine to what extent Europe can be of help in the move to a more dynamic agricultural system. The present paper analyzes various prospective scenarios for Tunisian agriculture to the 2010 horizon, using dynamic general equilibrium modelling. The outcome is that in the absence of reciprocal concessions from the European Union, possibly in the form of a lifting of tariff quotas, Tunisia would have little incentive to reduce either its assistance to the agricultural sector or its protective barriers against outside pressure. Tunisian agriculture would in this case continue to show lacklustre performance, but the welfare of rural households would be more or less preserved. Conversely, increased access to the European market for export products for which Tunisia has a competitive edge would greatly facilitate the transition and help improve resource reallocation. Some of the gains made could then be redistributed to rural communities in order to offset marginal losses. By granting the same trade privileges to its other partners, Tunisia would however maximize its growth potential and reduce still further its losses in the agricultural sector. The European Union would lose in terms of outlets for its exports but would gain overall in terms of the economic development of Tunisia.
