MANAGED TRADE WITH IMPERFECT INFORMATION

Gal Hochman and Ella Segev

International Economic Review, 2010, vol. 51, issue 1, 187-211

Abstract: This article illustrates the importance of imperfect information in self-enforcing trade agreements. It shows that expected welfare is higher with current period uncertainty, and "a high level" of uncertainty may "even" undermine the need for a safeguard clause. These results were derived by extending the seminal paper by Bagwell and Staiger ("The American Economic Review" 80 (1990), 779-95) to account for current period uncertainty.
