Book excerpt: This paper examines the process of Sri Lanka's trade liberalization and its impact on exports and imports. The primary objective of the study is to estimate impact of trade liberalization on exports and imports of Sri Lanka. Secondary data is used to estimate effects of trade liberalization on exports and imports for the period from 1970 to 2011. In estimating impacts of trade liberalization on export and import sectors total time period is divided into two sub periods of before trade liberalization i.e. (1970-1977) and after trade liberalization i.e. (1977-2011). The study mainly employs simple and multiple regression models to disentangle trade effects. The main empirical results suggest that total exports and imports have grown at a higher rate during the closed economic era than in the open economic era. Further, the study finds that trade liberalization has increased imports by more than exports in Sri Lanka.

This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1950s Sri Lanka was in the third place in Asia after Japan and Malaysia in terms of per capita GDP. South Korea, Thailand and Indonesia were behind Sri Lanka. However, all these countries have surpassed Sri Lanka very long ago. Many reasons could be attributed for this economic failure. Frequent economic policy changes, extensive welfarism and sporadic insurrections had negative impact on the economy during the pre liberalization regime. However, after the introduction of economic liberalization in 1977 many positive changes occurred on the economy. Firstly, Sri Lanka started to achieve higher rate of economic growth. Secondly, the GDP composition has changed to some extent. Thirdly, unemployment situation has improved after the introduction of liberalization. Fourthly, the rate of investment increased significantly. Finally, the export structure changed significantly from plantation cum agricultural goods to industrial exports, dominantly garment and textiles. The eruption of civil war in 1983 had negative impact on the economy. If there was no war in Sri Lanka the impact of liberalization would have been a different scenario.

This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trade liberalization is assumed to be the driving force of economic development of the developing countries. China and Sri Lanka have gradually opened their economies to foreign trade with the expectation of eliminating poverty which is the main cause of food insecurity. Though both countries possess some similar characteristics, they are different in size in the world market. Sri Lanka is regarded as a small economy while China is known as a large economy which has economic power to influence on world market. Hence, the main purpose of this study is to investigate whether trade liberalization has differently influenced on food security of China and Sri Lanka. The study employed time series multiple regression technique to investigate the effect of trade liberalization on food security of the two countries for the 1980-2009 period. The findings of the study supports the statement that trade liberalization and has not significantly influenced on food security of China. However, it is found a negative and weak relationship between trade liberalization and food security with regards to Sri Lanka. The key variable significantly influenced on the food security of two countries is the real GDP level and it shows a strong positive association with food security during the study period. The changes of imported food prices have been a key influential factor in determining food security of Sri Lanka but were not a significant factor to influence to the food security of China.

This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the performance and impact of the India–Sri Lanka free trade agreement over the past decade and suggests the way forward. India became an important source of imports for Sri Lanka immediately after the implementation of the free trade agreement. Bilateral trade between the countries increased steadily thereafter, with Sri Lankan commodities finding a large market in India. The composition of trade also changed with an increased number of new goods being traded. The book computes indices and suggests scope for deepening economic cooperation between the two countries by pruning the negative lists for trade in goods, identifying potential investment, and suggesting policies for expanding cooperation in services.
