A Practical Guide to Trade Policy Analysis
Author: Marc Bacchetta
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789287038128
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
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

Trade Crash

ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
Trade Crash is a multi-media Primer written for the general public, not for economic or legal scholars. As a combination of text and video links, it is a "BookVid." It provides an overview of the history of trade wars, the evolution of the global trading system, the fissures in this system caused by the aggressive trade policies of the Trump Administration and the fractures in this system caused by the Global Slowdown resulting from the Coronavirus (also referred to as "CV-19" or "Covid-19") Pandemic. To put this in its proper perspective, we have asked an old friend and colleague, Andy Hendry, to write the following Prologue. It is entitled "How Globalization Failed Us and How Can it be Saved?" Andy's career has encompassed senior positions in international trade, including metal, high tech and personal product manufacturing and distribution. He is uniquely qualified to comment on the supply chain disruptions that have plagued the international trading system.

Globalization and America's Trade Agreements
Author: William Krist
Publisher: Woodrow Wilson Center Press / Johns Hopkins University Press
ISBN: 9781421411682
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Globalization and America's Trade Agreements reviews the theoretical framework as well as provides a historic context of impact of the United States’ complex trade agreements of the past 25 years. William Krist analyzes the issues in the recent rounds of GATT/WTO negotiations and in numerous U.S. free trade agreements and discusses how economists have approached trade policy and how historical experience has affected economic theory. He assesses the effect of trade deals on the U.S. economy, the role of foreign policy in trade negotiations, how trade can affect the economies of developing countries, and how environmental and labor concerns affect trade agreements. Trade has been an essential driver of global growth. Krist shows how trade policy has contributed to that growth and outlines what must be done to ensure it can continue to promote our national objectives. This book will serve as a valuable guide for those unfamiliar with trade policy and provides a challenging critique of trade policy for those already knowledgeable in the field.
