Crucial Materials? How Export Restrictions Upstream Boost Manufacturing Exports Downstream

Eva Wichmann

No 181, FIW Working Paper series from FIW

Abstract: This paper shows both theoretically and empirically how raw material rich countries use export restrictions upstream to give manufacturing sectors downstream a competitive advantage. For young and relatively small industries this can be seen as a type of infant industry protection that takes advantage of the global value chain. Estimating a fixed effect model, I provide evidence that export restrictions on industrial raw materials upstream help promote manufacturing exports downstream.
