Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) scheme is a voluntary trade measure implemented by developed countries that provide an advantageous, or "preferential", tariff treatment to imports from developing countries. The scheme is expected to contribute to developing countries' export growth particularly in the manufacturing sector. Five decades since its inception, the GSP scheme stands at a crossroads. The effectiveness of tariff incentives as a tool to foster exports has eroded over time as trade liberalization processes proceed at multilateral, regional, and unilateral levels, and as the relevance of tariffs to overall trade costs declines. The question arises as to whether the relevance and effectiveness of tariff preferences remain valid today. Focusing on the GSP schemes of the Quad economies (Canada, European Union, Japan, and the United States of America), which accounted for nearly 50 per cent of global imports in the period between 2004 and 2018, the study provides an objective assessment of tariff advantages offered under the GSP by quantifying the economic "value" of preferential treatment and the obstacles to the realization of its full potential. While sharing the same objective of providing preferential market access to imports from developing countries, the GSP schemes of different countries are non-homogeneous sets of national measures. Each GSP scheme is designed according to the granting country's national interests. Across GSP schemes, there is no threshold or minimum requirement in terms of product/country coverage and the level of tariff advantages. Hence, the objective of the study is not to bring value judgment as to which scheme is better or worse relative to others but to take stock of the state of tariff preferences offered under the four representative schemes.

Book excerpt: Industrial countries maintain special tariff preferences, namely the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), for imports from developing countries. Critics have highlighted the underachieving nature of such preferences, but developing countries continue to place the GSP at the heart of their agenda in multilateral negotiations. What effect do such preferences have on a recipient's own trade policies? Özden and Reinhardt develop and test a simple theoretical model of a small country's trade policy choice, using a dataset of 154 developing countries from 1976 through 2000. They find that countries removed from the GSP adopt more liberal trade policies than those remaining eligible. The results, corrected for endogeneity and robust to numerous alternative measures of trade policy, suggest that developing countries may be best served by full integration into the reciprocity-based world trade regime rather than continued GSP-style special preferences. This paper--a product of Trade, Development Research Group--is part of a larger effort in the group to study global trade regimes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) provides duty-free tariff treatment to certain products imported from designated developing countries. The United States, the European Union, and other developed countries implemented such programs in the in the 1970s to promote economic growth in developing countries by stimulating their exports. The U.S. program (as established by Title V of the Trade Act of 1974) was last reauthorized through December 31, 2006 in section 4101 of the Trade Act of 2002 (P.L. 107-210). Congress may consider legislation (H.R. 6142) under suspension of the rules to, among other things, renew the preference for two years. H.R. 5070 seeks to renew the preference for one year and H.R. 6076 and its companion bill S. 3904 would renew GSP for two years. S. 191 seeks to extend AGOA-type benefits to certain Asian and Pacific least-developed countries, including an extension of GSP for these countries alone. In previous years that the GSP was set to expire, its subsequent renewal was generally considered noncontroversial. Even when the preference was allowed to lapse, as it has at several times in its history, it was widely expected that Congress would retroactively renew the preference. However, this year, due to the present impasse in multilateral trade talks in the World Trade Organization Doha Development Agenda (DDA) and congressional concerns regarding the inclusion of certain more advanced developing countries such as India and Brazil in the program, renewal of the preference seems more tenuous. This report presents a brief history, economic rationale, and legal background leading to the establishment of the GSP; a brief comparison of GSP programs worldwide, especially as they compare to the U.S. program; the U.S. implementation of the GSP and the present debate surrounding its renewal; an analysis of the U.S. program's effectiveness and the positions of various stakeholders; and possible implications of the expiration of the U.S. program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) was established to promote the exports of low-income countries to industrialized countries in order to support their economic growth and development. However, the design of these schemes is rather complex and the effects of GSP have been found to be controversial. In our empirical analysis, based on an extensive dataset covering most of world trade, we find that GSP tends to foster developing countries' exports in the short-run, but hampers them in the long-run. Also, GSP granting countries are able to promote their own exports initially, while in the long-run their exports decrease. Taken together, GSP does not seem to be a suitable instrument to promote sustainable economic growth and development of low-income countries.
