1 The Empirical Landscape of Trade Policy Chad P. Bown and Meredith A. Crowley World Bank & CEPR and Cambridge May 2015 CPB & MAC (WB, CEPR & Cambridge ) The Empirical Landscape of Trade Policy May / 44
2 What do we know about trade policy in the 21st Century? Three broad themes 1. Heterogeneity in the form and restrictiveness of border barriers across countries and industrial sectors. 2. History repeats itself Border restrictions on imports target the same class of problem (macroeconomic difficulty, adjustment to entry of new countries, etc.) or the same industries. 3. Local preferences over domestic policy sometimes clash with commitments to free/freer trade. Substitution of domestic policy measures for border barriers to restrict trade versus the optimal choice of local policies to satisfy local preferences. CPB & MAC (WB, CEPR & Cambridge ) The Empirical Landscape of Trade Policy May / 44
3 Outline of our chapter Document the extensive heterogeneity in ad valorem import tariffs. Applied MFN rates across countries and products (cross-sectional). WTO tariff binding rates across countries and products(cross-sectional). Inter-temporal variation in applied rates on products. Cross-sectional variation due to Preferential Trade Agreements. Document the usage of other border barriers. Specific tariffs. Temporary tariff barriers (antidumping, safeguards, etc). Quotas (quotas, price undertakings, VERs). Describe the challenges that behind the border (domestic) policies pose to the world trading system. Case study discussions of policy conflicts (domestic subsidies, consumer policies, supply-side policies). CPB & MAC (WB, CEPR & Cambridge ) The Empirical Landscape of Trade Policy May / 44

19 Roadmap of the talk Theme 1: Heterogeneity 1. Heterogeneity in the restrictiveness of border barriers Cross-sectional variation across countries and sectors. Inter-temporal variation in border barriers. Preferential Trade Agreements. CPB & MAC (WB, CEPR & Cambridge ) The Empirical Landscape of Trade Policy May / 44
20 Preferential Trade Agreements Various forms of preferential trading arrangements in existence Reciprocal Preferential Trade Agreements (PTAs) - free trade agreements, customs unions, and the Enabling Clause Unilateral preferences (GSP, AGOA, EBA, etc.) Other forms of preferential arrangements (plurilaterals, critical mass agreements, etc.) CPB & MAC (WB, CEPR & Cambridge ) The Empirical Landscape of Trade Policy May / 44
21 Preferential Trade Agreements Stylized facts from WTO (2011) study on PTAs Share of intra-pta trade in world trade has nearly doubled from 18 percent in 1990 to 35 percent in 2008 (including intra-eu trade raises this: from 28 percent in 1990 to 51 percent in 2008) However, in a study of PTAs involving 85 countries and 90 percent of world trade in 2007, 66 percent of tariff lines with MFN tariff peaks (MFN rates 15 percent) have not been reduced at all through PTAs Between 49 percent (including intra-eu trade) and 65 percent (excluding intra-eu trade) of world trade takes place between countries that are not part of a common PTA. Excluding (including) intra-eu flows, only 16 percent (30 percent) of global trade is eligible for any preferential tariffs; less than 2 percent (4 percent) of global trade is eligible to receive preferences with margins above 10 percentage points. Excluding (including) intra-eu trade, 84 percent (70 percent) of world merchandise trade still takes place on an MFN basis.

40 Case study: consumer labeling for canned tuna How should the world trading system approach domestic regulations that serve local societal objectives, but have a negative impact on trade? In 2008, Mexico complained to the WTO about a US law that created a private, voluntary label for canned tuna. If various documentary evidence were produced, tuna could be marketed in the US as dolphin-safe. The US law prohibited the use of other third-party labeling schemes with weaker dophin protection. Mexico objected that the US law was discriminatory and excessively trade-restricting. The WTO AB concluded that the measure satisfied a legitimate regulatory objective but lacked even-handedness.

41 Summary A large empirical literature has used MFN tariffs to study numerous questions, but we still do not know why there is cross-country heterogeneity in trade policy (both in restrictiveness and in form of instrument). The broad patters of changes into new policy tools could be used to help us understand the role of policy in longer term analysis of development, product cycles and changing locations of production. Domestic policy is not simply a substitute for import tariffs as the focus is often a legitimate social goal, but conflicts seem likely to rise as economies become more integrated. How should the world trading system address this? CPB & MAC (WB, CEPR & Cambridge ) The Empirical Landscape of Trade Policy May / 44
