Trade in Services and the Global Economy

Chapter 2 in Gains from Global Linkages, 1997, pp 29-56 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The special characteristics of services influence their mode of delivery and the manner in which they are measured and identified in international trade. The discussion in Chapter 1 has revealed that the provision of most services demands close proximity, in terms of both time and space, between the provider and the consumer. The need for such direct interaction between production and consumption implies that in most circumstances the delivery of services across countries cannot be completed without the movement of persons. In such cases the service provider, or the consumer, ‘carries the border with him or her’.
