Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1989, President George Bush was President of the United States the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) forum was established to promote economic integration around the Pacific Rim and to sustain economic growth. APEC currently has 21 members: Australia; Brunei Darussalam; Canada; Chile; Hong Kong, China; Indonesia; Japan; Republic of Korea; Malaysia; Mexico; New Zealand; Papua New Guinea; Peru; Republic of the Philippines; Russia; Singapore; Chinese Taipei; Thailand; USA; Vietnam. The United States, recognising the value of top-level meetings to advance the work of creating a Pacific community, invited member economies' leaders to Blake Island, Washington, to meet informally to discuss major issues in the APEC region. This gathering of economic leaders has become the single most important institution in the Asia Pacific region. It brings top level attention to APEC's vision of free trade and investment as well as providing a forum for leaders to meet on a regular basis both as a group and bilaterally to discuss current issues and resolve disputes. The economic health of the APEC region is vitally important to America's continued prosperity. Economic growth across the APEC region waned this year, largely in response to the slowing US economy and the weakening global demand for many of the Asian members' exports (particularly electronics). Many members have lowered their 2001 growth projections in light of poor performance during the first half of the year, although most will still post positive results. This compelling book about APEC and its background, goals and problems, provides the reader with the necessary information on the crucial role that it plays. A revived Asia-Pacific region means more exports from and investments by U.S. companies, more jobs for Americans and more U.S. economic growth.

Book excerpt: This publication presents two papers that address both trade facilitation and trade liberalization. The first paper, "Achieving the APEC Shanghai Objective: A Methodology to Benchmark and Quantify Trade Facilitation Efforts in Financial Terms", addresses several aspects of trade facilitation. First, it defines trade facilitation for the scope of benchmarking, quantifying, and translating into financial terms the efforts of trade facilitation in APEC. In this context, it addresses the challenge of matching available data to the complexity of what trade facilitation really means in practice and 'takes stock' of available proxies for trade facilitation effort. Then, it briefly discusses the path-breaking methodology of Wilson, Mann and Otsuki (2002) which considers how to create indicators of the different types of trade facilitation effort that are consistent and comparable among the APEC economies. The second paper, "Measuring the Impact of APEC Trade Facilitation: A Gravity Analysis", quantifies the benefits of trade facilitation against tariff reduction. In order to estimate the effect of trade facilitation on trade costs in APEC economies, the authors use the methodology of Wilson, Mann and Otsuki, but implement this methodology using data taken from survey results in APEC in 2002 and the Knowledge-Based Economy (KBE) indicators contained in the 2003 APEC Economic Outlook Report. Using these data, the chapter measures the net trade creation effect of trade facilitation among APEC economies using a gravity-model-based regression analysis. It is notable that similar results to the Wilson, Mann and Otsuki data are obtained, despite very different sources of raw inputs to the constructed trade facilitations indicators.

Download or read book Quantitative Methods For Assessing The Effects Of Non tariff Measures And Trade Facilitation written by Michael J Ferrantino and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2005-04-26 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As tariffs have fallen worldwide, the increasing importance of non-tariff policies for further trade liberalization has become widely recognized. The methods for assessing the potential effects of such liberalization have lagged significantly behind those available for analyzing tariffs. This book is the first volume that comprehensively addresses this gap. It has been designed to be useful for both economists and policymakers, especially for those involved in communicating ideas and results between economists and policymakers.This indispensable book contains cutting-edge discussions of the full range of methodologies used in this area, including business surveys, summary statistics such as effective rates of protection and price gaps, time-series and panel econometrics, and simulation methods such as computable general equilibrium. It covers the entire spectrum of policies under discussion in current trade negotiations, including trade facilitation, services policies, quantitative measures, customs procedures, standards, movement of natural persons, and anti-dumping.Some prominent contributors to this book are Bijit Bora (World Trade Organization), John Wilson, Tsunehiro Otsuki and Vlad Manole (World Bank), Catherine Mann (Institute of International Economics), Alan Deardorff and Robert Stern (University of Michigan), Joe Francois (Erasmus University), Dean Spinanger (University of Kiel), Antoni Estevadeordal and Kati Suominen (Inter-American Development Bank), Thomas Prusa (Rutgers University), Thomas Hertel and Terrie Walmsley (Purdue University), Scott Bradford (Brigham Young University), Judith Dean, Robert Feinberg, Soamiely Andriamananjara and Marinos Tsigas (US International Trade Commission).
