Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers contained in this volume deal with two central issues. The first is the positive question of the effects of the Multifibre Arrangement (MFA) on developing countries. The second is the normative question of how to phase out the MFA and integrate textiles and clothing trade in the normal GATT rules in the context of the current Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations. The major effects of the MFA considered are the direct, trade-restricting effects of the bilateral quotas, their effects on prices of textiles and clothing in restricted and unrestricted markets, and hence on national and global welfare; the effects on fiber trade; the various inefficiencies introduced by the MFA and its administration; and finally, the implications of the arrangement for growth in the developing economies. These effects are discussed at a general level in the first part of this report. The second part contains a discussion of the effects of the MFA on particular countries. In considering the options for reforming the MFA, it was recognized that the successive arrangements reflected the pressures placed on governments by powerful interest groups, and that these pressures had to be taken into account in formulating proposals for policy reform. In this context a wide range of reform proposals was considered.

This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Textiles and apparel trade has been governed by the Multi-Fiber Arrangement (MFA) for three decades. Trade restrictions have generated substantial welfare losses and price wedges in exporting and importing countries through trade distortions. Beginning in 1995, textiles and apparel trade underwent fundamental changes in tradeflows and patterns. The World Trade Organization's Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC) aimed to remove all MFA quotas by January 2005. This study established an equilibrium displacement model to investigate the impact on textile and cotton sectors of different countries and country-groups of removing the MFA quota. The model specifies the basic linkages of textile and cotton markets in the United States, China and four other country-groups. With different assumptions about U.S. textile supply elasticity, foreign cotton exporters' reaction and changes in the U.S. farm program payments, alternative scenarios are simulated to predict changes in domestic and import demand for textiles and apparel, import demand for U.S. cotton, domestic and import price of textiles and apparel, U.S. cotton price and adjusted world cotton price. Uniform distribution was imposed for selected parameters involved in the model to overcome the deficiency of equilibrium displacement models of assuming certainty of known related parameters. Results indicate increased import demand for U.S. cotton by China, higher U.S.cotton supply, more textile and apparel supply from China, decreased domestic demand for U.S. cotton, and lower U.S. domestic demand for textiles and apparel. However, prices of both textile and cotton markets experience both positive and negative changes under different scenarios. Holding other assumptions unchanged, when farm program payments increase, U.S. cotton price and adjusted world cotton price declined. When farm program payments are held constant, prices rise. The changes expected in U.S.cotton price are, in absolute value, greater than those of the adjusted world price.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Multi-Fibre Arrangement (MFA) is among the most important nontariff trade barriers facing developing countries today. Here the authors endeavor to fill several gaps in the literature on the MFA. Citing specific examples, they demonstrate how quota implementation begins with an initial regulatory system that becomes increasingly complex and discretionary as rules are changed and new ones added.
