Standards and Related Regulations in International Trade: A Modeling Approach

Mattias Ganslandt () and James Markusen

No 8346, NBER Working Papers from National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc

Abstract: Standards and technical regulations which govern the admissibility of imported goods into an economy raise costs of exporters entering new markets, and may have a particularly high impact on firms seeking to export from developing countries. Yet standards may also have a positive side, such as certifying product quality and safety for the consumer. This paper suggests approaches to modeling standards and technical regulations, with a particular concern that these approaches are at least potentially implementable in an applied general-equilibrium model with real data.
