Internationalisation of Economic Policy Programme Research Paper 2002 / 01 Protection by Tariff Barriers and International Transport Costs
نویسنده
چکیده
Using estimates of protection in the EU market against US exports, this paper illustrates the relative importance of natural and policy sources of protection and the measurement errors induced in the measurement of effective protection by omitting transactions costs. It also considers protection in the EU 'domestic' and export market, and the implications of the elimination of tariff barriers only on relative rates of protection in 'domestic' and export markets.

We show that this gives a motive for a monopolist to license its te...

The size and shape of price barriers would be higher if NTBs, applied by the count...
