No 275196, Queen's Institute for Economic Research Discussion Papers from Queen's University - Department of Economics

Abstract: The paper examined the consequences of a 50 percent cut of tariff and non-tariff trade barriers within an applied general equilibrium model of the Canadian economy. The large welfare gains are explained in terms of scale economics and the procompetitive effects of import competition. Some sensitivity results are also reported.
