1 Aid for Trade: Ensuring That the Most Needy Get It Richard Newfarmer International Growth Centre Paris, March 28, 2011 This presentation is based on Elisa Gamberoni and Richard Newfarmer Aid for Trade: Matching Potential Demand with Supply World Bank Policy Research Paper 4991 and Elisa Gamberoni and Richard Newfarmer, Aid for Trade: Do the Most Needy Get It? draft 2011
2 Key questions: Which countries might have a potential demand for aid for trade, either because of poor trade performance or because of capacity constraints that hamper trade? Is the supply of aid for trade going to countries that have a potential demand for it? Which countries are receiving below average aid for trade relative to their potential demand? Corollary: Which indicators seem most useful for monitoring aid for trade because of their predictive effects on trade performance?
3 Why do we care about aid for trade? Globalization risky? What do you mean?
4 Google map to our logic. Which countries have greatest need potential demand? Trade performance 5 Indicators Capacity : Infrastructure, Institutions, incentives Which indicators predict trade level? 5 Indicators Measuring potential demand -- rankings by quintile Indicator Total Country (highest) = 10 : Country (lowest) = 50 Does supply of aid go to countries with the higest demand? Aid for Trade / GDP demand Income p.c., aid effectiveness Which countries have less aid for trade than they might demand?
5 Caveats Paper does not analyze why a country might receive less aid for trade It might not need it It might have higher priorities It might not use it well The effort here is not to provide answers for individual countries -- but to provide the big picture and to provoke questions at the national level on competitiveness and aid for trade stategy
6 Potential demand arises from poor trade performance and weak trade capacity Trade performance Several ways to measure.. 1. Growth rate of exports of goods and services
7 Trade performance varies but 29 low income countries figure in the bottom two quintiles Bosnia Zambia Rwanda Vietnam Mozambique Cambodia Lao PDR Guinea-Bissau Cape Verde Myanmar Burundi Azerbaijan Grenada Ethiopia Armenia Lesotho India Bhutan Bangladesh Mali Georgia Haiti Nicaragua Uganda Angola Congo, DR. Mauritania Ghana Moldova Burkina Faso Bolivia Nepal Pakistan Tanzania Côte d'ivoire Sri Lanka Tajikistan Congo, Rep.

8 Potential demand arises from poor trade performance and weak trade capacity Trade performance Several ways to measure.. 1. Growth rate of exports of goods and services 2. Change in global market share

Change in global market share 3. Change in competitiveness in existing markets 4. Growth rates of export markets product and geographic markets
11 Sources of export growth: competitiveness or demand growth? Gaining competitiveness in slow growing markets Competitiveness effect Gaining competitiveness in fast growing markets + - Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Benin, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Chad, Comoros, Djibouti, Ghana, Haiti, India, Kenya, Kiribati, Laos, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Rwanda, Samoa, Sierra Leone, Solomon Is, Sri Lanka, Tajikistan, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Viet Nam. ++ Angola, Armenia, Cape Verde, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Georgia, Myanmar.

15 Besides trade performance, potential demand should include trade capacity Objective: Find capacity indicators that predict trade levels How? Literature: Infrastructure, Institutions, Incentives But many measures of each of these how can we select? So we analyzed bilateral trade levels using a gravity model to find out which were most powerful of predictors trade levels
16 What capacity indicators influence bilateral trade? A gravity model permits us to hold other factors constant Controls? GDP of home country GDP of partner Distance FTA, WTO membership Trade = 200 U K Trade = 50 S Capacity indicators? Infrastructure Institutions Incentives Trade = 100 T
17 Besides trade performance, potential demand should include trade capacity Objective: Find indicators that predict trade levels Infrastructure 1. Quality of infrastructure and information technology LPI (2) Institutions 2. Quality of customs LPI (3) 3. Time to export Doing Business Incentives 4. Peak tariffs (# of lines 3x average tariff level) 5. Tariff overall restrictiveness index - OTRI

23 Does potential demand match supply? Aid for trade (GDP) is determined by potential demand, p.c. income, and aid effectiveness Supply of aid for trade /GDP BIH GEO ARM NIC VUT SLB Good news: positive correlation Other news: many countries underserved VNM LBR MOZ IND DMA MNG TMP STP MRT LCA BOL AZE LAO CAF CMR KGZ BEN KHM HTI TON CPV ZMB COG COM LKA MDA PNGTJK SEN KEN BTN GNB GRD HND GIN AGO SDN KIR BFA YEM LSO GMB GHA ETH RWA NPL BDI PAK MLI MWI UZB BGD TZA DJI MDG CIVNGA SLE NER UGA ZAR MDV ERI GNQ GUY TGO TCD Potential demand for aid for trade Source: Authors calculation based on 2006 cross section regression
24 Conclusions Aid for trade potential demand outstrips current supply While trade performance of developing countries as a group has been strong, many countries are performing below average and many countries are vulnerable to a slowing global economy Particular at risk are those with poor trade performance slow growth, declining market shares, and concentrated exports and those with poor infrastructure, institutions and export incentives While aid for trade supply is broadly correlated with potential demand, still, several countries that have the highest potential demand are receiving less- than- average levels of aid for trade.
25 Conclusions A corollary about indicators Several indicators of trade performance are readily available from the World Trade Indicators, the International Trade Center, and the WTO s Trade Profiles Indicators of trade capacity also are available, and several are strong predictors of future trade performance Infrastructure -- Logistics Performance Index (used here), the Limao- Venables index, and the communication index Trade-related institutions -- customs component of the LPI and the time to export index of the Doing Business. Incentives to exports include the tariff peak index and the OTRI But indicator gaps still remain, particularly on NTBs, implementation of FTAs, and services restrictions. The international community has to invest more in filling these gaps.
