COMMERCIAL POLICY VARIABILITY, BINDINGS, AND MARKET ACCESS Joseph F. Francois and Will Martin Protection unconstrained by rules often varies substantially over time. Rules-based disciplines, like OECD industrial tariff bindings negotiated under GATT since 1947 and new Uruguay Round bindings on agricultural and services trade and on developing country industrial tariffs, constrain this variability. We examine the theoretical effects of such constraints on the expected cost of protection and offer a formalization of the concept of “market access,” emphasizing both the first and second moments of the distribution of protection. As an illustration, we provide a stylized examination of Uruguay Round agricultural bindings.

Commercial Policy Uncertainty, the Expected Cost of Protection, and Market Access
Protection unconstrained by rules often varies substantially over time.

متن کاملDynamic Binding in Mobile Applications: A Middleware Approach
Service development and deployment face new challenges from the wide availability of Internet points of attachment, increasing deployment of wireless networks, and growing portabledevice market. To provision traditional Internet services to mobile clients, service providers must address the possibility of roaming during service sessions and the heterogeneity of access-terminal hardware and soft...
متن کاملModel Driven Service Oriented Systems
Introduction Nowdays research and market pay attention to new software architectures like service oriented ones (SOA). These paradigms are intrinsically distributed systems, many times they are composed of federations of systems non controlled by the same organization. This often implies heterogeneous architec-tures and a not standardized semantic of communications and operations. More specific...
متن کاملA Simulation Framework for Heterogeneous Agents
We introduce a generic simulation framework suitable for agent-based simulations featuring the support of heterogeneous agents, hierarchical scheduling and flexible specification of design parameters. One key aspect of this framework is the design specification: we use an XML-based format which is simple-structured yet still enables the design of flexible models. Another issue in agent-based si...
متن کاملDistributed Network Security
IP-based networks form the base of todays communication infrastructure. The interconnection of formerly isolated networks brings up severe security issues. The standard approach, to protect the own network from abuse, is the usage of filter mechanisms at the border to the foreign network. The raising complexity of protocols and the use of encryption techniques render most of these borderoriente...
