Abstract: MAcMaps (Market Access Maps) for GTAP is a bilateral measure of market access which has been constructed to integrate the major instruments of protection (ad valorem and specific duties, prohibitions, tariff quotas, anti-dumping duties) at the most detailed level (tariff lines), as well as all discriminatory regimes, before aggregating in GTAP nomenclature using a procedure that minimizes the endogeneity bias while accounting for the importance of products in international trade. Source information is derived from TRAINS (UNCTAD) source files, AMAD, country sources (official journals, circulars and customs web sites), and notifications to the WTO regarding anti-dumping regimes. These files are combined with trade data from the COMTRADE (UNSD) database. The reference year is 1999.
