A chapter in Nontariff Measures with Market Imperfections: Trade and Welfare Implications, 2013, pp 15-41 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: This chapter uses a welfare-based conceptual framework for the assessment of costs and benefits associated with nontariff measures in the presence of market imperfections such as asymmetric information and environmental or health externalities. The framework allows for evidence-based comparative assessments of alternative regulatory approaches addressing these imperfections. The conceptual work is illustrated with an empirical case study of labeling internationally traded fish products.
