Interdependence of\nTrade Policies in General Equilibrium
If governments are\nbanned from using certain trade policy instrum ents\, they may resort to other\ninstruments to compensate for their lost policy space. Using a multi-industry\ngeneral-equilibrium Ricardian trade model the authors find that: (i)\nRestricting export subsidies/taxes leads to trade liberalization\, but\nrestricting import tariffs in isolation ha s no such effect\; (ii) If export\nsubsidies are already restricted\, nego tiated tariff cuts in a subset of\nindustries lead to unilateral cuts in o ther industries\; and (iii) A free trade\nagreement that precludes the use of trade taxes may lead to the adoption of\nwasteful trade barriers by we lfare-maximizing governments. Fitting our model to\ntrade data for 40 majo r countries\, we show that these effects are\nquantitatively significant.
