Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protection is a persistent feature of economic policy in developed and developing countries alike. However, it is now widely accepted that high protection holds back economic growth. Why is protection so pervasive when it is widely recognised to be against the national interest of the countries which impose it? This contradiction is the focus of this important volume, first published in 1986. Economists from the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia have written about their countries and draw conclusions on the causes of protection from statistical analysis and from interindustry structure.

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.
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.

This book was released on 2000-11-06 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late nineteenth century, the United States underwent an extremely rapid industrial expansion that moved the nation into the front ranks of the world economy. At the same time, the nation maintained democratic institutions as the primary means of allocating political offices and power. The combination of robust democratic institutions and rapid industrialization is rare and this book explains how development and democracy coexisted in the United States during industrialization. Most literature focuses on either electoral politics or purely economic analyses of industrialization. This book synthesizes politics and economics by stressing the Republican party's role as a developmental agent in national politics, the primacy of the three great developmental policies (the gold standard, the protective tariff, and the national market) in state and local politics, and the impact of uneven regional development on the construction of national political coalitions in Congress and presidential elections.

Book excerpt: This study introduces a dynamic theory of access and policy influence under authoritarianism, which argues that domestic interest groups facing foreign competition in authoritarian states are able to lobby for protection via both formal and informal channels of access to trade policymakers. In addition, these channels of access themselves change as the decision makers, the processes and the institutions of trade policymaking evolve over time, leading to the shifting abilities and strategies of certain domestic interest groups in providing incentives for relevant policymakers to set policies that are in favor of the interest groups. I test the theory by examining the domestic sources of trade protection across manufacturing industries in China, a single party authoritarian state, during its transition from a centrally-planned system to a market-oriented economy over the past six decades. Using three original, large-scale datasets and a variety of statistical models, I find that the percentage of state ownership and the geographical distribution of firms, two measures of an industry's access to trade policymakers, are significant predictors of industry-level protection in China. In addition, the domestic sources of protection change as institutional arrangements change: the 1998 administrative reform significantly reduced the influence of the state sector on China's negotiated tariffs in the WTO, while geographical distribution did not become important until after the Party delegated its trade policy decision-making power to the state bureaucracy upon joining the WTO. These findings are further supported by comparative case studies and interviews with government officials, firm managers, trade lawyers and scholars in China and the United States over a 12-month period. The empirical chapters demonstrated that the theory successfully explains the changing political economy of trade protection: the structure of protection in China's manufacturing sector, both across industries and over time, reflects not only the distribution of winners and losers from free trade and the cost of lobbying but also, more importantly, groups' differential and changing access to trade policymakers. These findings suggest that domestic groups in nondemocratic regimes have a greater impact on trade policies than is often recognized by conventional wisdom. In addition to enriching our understanding of interest group lobbying and trade policymaking in China, this study also contributes to existing work on the political economy of trade protection in China by (1) explicitly incorporating changes in the actors, institutions and processes of trade policymaking over time, (2) providing the micro-foundations of how interest groups lobby and influence trade policy outcomes in authoritarian states, and (3) accounting for both statutory (de jure) and administered (de facto) protection.
