Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Economists have influenced the trade policy agenda for establishing multilateral trade rules, disciplines, and procedures, and for negotiating most-favored nation and preferential reductions in trade barriers and subsidies, in addition to affecting the agenda for unilateral policy reform. These roles are considered in turn, before focusing on the economists' contribution through quantifying the extent and effects of existing trade distortions and alternative reform initiatives. Many trade distortions remain, however, so the author looks at where trade economists' efforts in agenda-setting need to be focused in the years ahead. "--Cover verso.

Download or read book A Greener Fast Track written by John J. Audley and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John J. Audley provides the following specific policy proposals for U.S. negotiators: (1) Include the environment or sustainable development in overall trade policy objectives. This involves clarifying the role of the World Trade Organization and United Nations bodies such as UNCTAD, UNEP, and the UNDP in dealing with trade, environment, and development-related issues, including conciliation procedures and dispute settlement, and making proceedings more transparent and accountable to the public. (2) Pursue explicit environment negotiation objectives. U.S. negotiators should seek to develop internationally agreed-upon rules and related multilateral agreements that will ensure reasonable national environmental and human health policies without disadvantaging U.S. companies competing in foreign markets. Possible approaches include providing behavioral incentives to promote compliance, offering a range of remedies, and designing programs to strengthen other countries' capacities to develop and implement their own high standards for environmental and human health protection. (3) Secure congressional support for internalizing environmental considerations throughout negotiations. Federal regulatory agencies with technical expertise in environmental quality issues should be included in the trade policy-making process and should devote sufficient resources to such involvement. Moreover, environmental reviews should be elevated in trade policy development. A broader strategy to promote environmental protection in a global society: As ambitious as these proposals are, Congress, the administration, and the interested public should not expect fast track procedures alone to bridge the gap between the potential benefits of trade and investment liberalization and environmental and development challenges. A more comprehensive strategy is needed to strengthen the capacity of U.S. trading partners to set and implement their own standards for human health and environmental protection. Audley urges President Bush and Congress to engage in a public debate on the merits of a broader environmental agenda and avoid a rush to secure a fast track vote.

Download or read book A Practical Guide to Trade Policy Analysis written by Marc Bacchetta and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trade flows and trade policies need to be properly quantified to describe, compare, or follow the evolution of policies between sectors or countries or over time. This is essential to ensure that policy choices are made with an appropriate knowledge of the real conditions. This practical guide introduces the main techniques of trade and trade policy data analysis. It shows how to develop the main indexes used to analyze trade flows, tariff structures, and non-tariff measures. It presents the databases needed to construct these indexes as well as the challenges faced in collecting and processing these data, such as measurement errors or aggregation bias. Written by experts with practical experience in the field, A Practical Guide to Trade Policy Analysis has been developed to contribute to enhance developing countries' capacity to analyze and implement trade policy. It offers a hands-on introduction on how to estimate the distributional effects of trade policies on welfare, in particular on inequality and poverty. The guide is aimed at government experts engaged in trade negotiations, as well as students and researchers involved in trade-related study or research. An accompanying DVD contains data sets and program command files required for the exercises. Copublished by the WTO and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 108th Congress completed a full trade agenda with the passage of legislation on a broad spectrum of issues. The 109th Congress is expected to face a trade agenda that will be at least as extensive, covering a wide range of issues, from extension of presidential trade promotion (fast track) authority to consideration of more free trade agreements and oversight of the World Trade Organization (WTO) trade negotiations. In some respects these issues are distinct, each with its own policy and economic implications. In other respects the issues are interrelated. They have emerged from common sets of domestic political, foreign policy, and economic factors and affect or are affected by the concerns of Members of Congress, of other policymakers and of many interest groups. These issues and how policymakers deal with them will define overall U.S. trade policy. Several sets of issues will likely come before the 109th Congress. The Bush Administration is expected to request a two-year extension of its trade promotion authority. This extension would be granted unless one House of the Congress passes a joint resolution of disapproval. The Congress will probably also debate U.S. participation in the WTO as it considers congressional resolutions to withdraw from ...

Download or read book Introduction to Trade Policy written by Aluisio Lima-Campos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Trade Policy provides a comprehensive overview of the rules and regulations that govern trade flow. It discusses the trade policy formulation process of major international economic players, and analyzes existing trade policy tools that countries may resort to in order to take advantage of the benefits of international trade and to protect themselves against its dangers, as well as their implications for trade policy, law and negotiations. In Section I, the book explores the ways in which interest groups interact with government and legislators to shape trade policies. By developing an analytical view of trade policy formulation systems in the U.S., European Union, the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), Canada, Mexico and Australia, the book will help the reader to gain a better understanding of these countries’ trade policy developments and also to apply such learning to the analysis of the trade policy formulation of any other countries. Section II goes on to explain how trade policy tools are used by governments to achieve trade and other policy objectives, while Section III analyses trade in services and the multilateral trade rules on Intellectual Property. Finally, Section IV uses hypothetical case studies in simulation exercises to illustrate trade policy decision-making and trade agreement negotiations in a bilateral, plurilateral and multilateral setting. This is the ideal introduction to international trade policy formulation for students and professionals in the areas of law, politics, economics and public policy who are seeking to develop a global view of international trade, gain insights into trade negotiations and understand the motivations behind the policies and actions of governments regarding international trade issues. This book is also the ideal companion to any traditional legal casebook on international trade or on international economic law.
Download or read book Failure to Adjust written by Edward Alden and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Updated edition with a new foreword on the Trump administration's trade policy* The vast benefits promised by the supporters of globalization, and by their own government, have never materialized for many Americans. In Failure to Adjust Edward Alden provides a compelling history of the last four decades of US economic and trade policies that have left too many Americans unable to adapt to or compete in the current global marketplace. He tells the story of what went wrong and how to correct the course. Originally published on the eve of the 2016 presidential election, Alden’s book captured the zeitgeist that would propel Donald J. Trump to the presidency. In a new introduction to the paperback edition, Alden addresses the economic challenges now facing the Trump administration, and warns that economic disruption will continue to be among the most pressing issues facing the United States. If the failure to adjust continues, Alden predicts, the political disruptions of the future will be larger still.
