Are WTO Tariff Negotiations Reciprocal? An Analysis of Tariff Liberalization
 |
| 概要： (Abstract) |
This paper presents new evidence on the alleged imbalance in the Uruguay Round agreement, focusing on the tariff component of the multilateral trade liberalization. I adopt the framework of Bagwell and Staiger (1999) and empirically examine the principle of reciprocity. The main finding is that deviations from reciprocity are quite small, and thus the Uruguay Round tariff liberalization is reciprocal. The economic significance of terms of trade losses is typically minor for developing countries, accounting for merely -0.15 percent of GDP. The evidence thus suggests that developing countries did not lose significantly from their tariff cuts, and the Uruguay Round has generated rather fair outcomes as far as tariff liberalization is concerned. |
