DOWNLOAD EBOOKInterest in U.S. trade policy has been stimulated in recent years by the massive American trade deficit, by the belief that intervention by foreign governments in international markets has given other countries a competitive edge over the United States, and by concern about the increase in protectionism among industrial countries. In turn, major analytical developments in international economics have revolutionized trade theory, broadening its scope both by introducing in a more formal manner such concepts as imperfect competition, increasing returns, product differentiation, and learning effects and by including the study of political and economic factors that shape trade policy decisions. This collection of papers—the result of a conference held by the NBER—applies these "new" trade theories to existing world cases and also presents complementary empirical studies that are grounded in more traditional trade theories. The volume is divided into four parts. The papers in part 1 consider the problem of imperfect competition, empirically assessing the economic effect of various trade policies introduced in industries in which the "new" trade theory seems to apply. Those in part 2 isolate the effects of protection from the influences of the many economic changes that accompany actual periods of protection and also examine how the effects from exogenous changes in economic conditions vary with the form of protection. Part 3 provides new empirical evidence on the effect of foreign production by a country's firms on the home country's exports. Finally, in part 4, two key bilateral issues are analyzed: recent U.S.-Japanese trade tensions and the incident involving the threat of the imposition of countervailing duties by the United States on Canadian softwood lumber.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book surveys recent theories of the structure of trade in the light of recent advances in applied econometrics. Unlike most existing literature, Imperfect Competition and International Commodity Trade concentrates on the major exports of developing rather than industrialized countries and a general theoretical framework is developed for commodity trade, its empirical validity is tested, and alternative trade policies are assessed. This study will be of particular significance to international trade economists, researchers in trade theory and relations, and econometricians.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Traditional tools of analysis that focus on particular commodities or sectors, a particular time frame, and aggregate diverse socioeconomic groups are ill-suited to analyze the consequences of the economic reforms of the last ten years. This volume shows the greater power and relevance of applied general equilibrium methods." "Through discussion of several major policy issues - agricultural and food policy, economies of scale in production and the associated market imperfections, macrostabilization programs, and modeling intertemporal tradeoffs - the contributors present work representative of the major trends in applied general equilibrium modeling of developing-country issues. Policy analysis using a rich variety of static, recursive, and intertemporal dynamic models is illustrated with problems from a number of developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The countries studied range widely in their institutional features, stages of development, and economic size."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
