DESCRIPTION:Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs&nbsp\;Trade\, Development 
 and Political Economy presentsInterdependence of\nTrade Policies in Genera
 l EquilibriumIf governments are\nbanned from using certain trade policy in
 struments\, they may resort to other\ninstruments to compensate for their 
 lost policy space. Using a multi-industry\ngeneral-equilibrium Ricardian t
 rade model the authors find that: (i)\nRestricting export subsidies/taxes 
 leads to trade liberalization\, but\nrestricting import tariffs in isolati
 on has no such effect\; (ii) If export\nsubsidies are already restricted\,
  negotiated tariff cuts in a subset of\nindustries lead to unilateral cuts
  in other industries\; and (iii) A free trade\nagreement that precludes th
 e use of trade taxes may lead to the adoption of\nwasteful trade barriers 
 by welfare-maximizing governments. Fitting our model to\ntrade data for 40
  major countries\, we show that these effects are\nquantitatively signific
