Quantitative Methods for Assessing the Effects of Non-Tariff Measures and Trade Facilitation

Edited by Philippa Dee and Michael Ferrantino

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: As tariffs have fallen worldwide, the increasing importance of non-tariff policies for further trade liberalization has become widely recognized. The methods for assessing the potential effects of such liberalization have lagged significantly behind those available for analyzing tariffs. This book is the first volume that comprehensively addresses this gap. It has been designed to be useful for both economists and policymakers, especially for those involved in communicating ideas and results between economists and policymakers.
