Assessing the Benefits to Developing Countries of Liberalization in Services Trade

No 10181, NBER Working Papers from National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc

Abstract: This paper discusses the potential impacts of services trade liberalization on developing countries and reviews existing quantitative studies. Its purpose is to distill themes from current literature rather than to advocate specific policy changes. The picture emerging is one of valiant attempts to quantify in the presence of formidable analytical and data problems yielding only a clouded image of likely impacts on trade, consumption, production, and welfare.
