We focus on standard-like non-tariff measures (NTMs) affecting cost of production and potentially enhancing domestic demand by increasing product quality or reducing negative externalities. The impact of NTMs on trade is ambiguous depending on the relative strength of the supply cost and demand enhancing effects. We apply the framework to the NTM database of Kee, Nicita, and Olarreaga (2009) and derive ad valorem equivalents for NTMs and other policy distortions. These equivalents are then used to compute TRIs. 10% of the NTM ad valorem equivalents at the 6-digit level of the Harmonized System are negative indicating a net trade-enhancing effect of these NTMs in those sectors. Consequently, TRIs computed without a protectionist presumption are smaller than their constrained counterparts not allowing for trade enhancements effects of NTMs. Accounting for externalities and anti-protective effects significantly reduces the measure of trade policy restrictiveness for most countries. 000142386 546__ $$aEnglish 000142386 650__ $$aInternational Relations/Trade 000142386 650__ $$aResearch Methods/Statistical Methods 000142386 6531_ $$aNon-tariff measures 000142386 6531_ $$aexternalities 000142386 6531_ $$aad valorem equivalents 000142386 6531_ $$atrade restrictiveness indices 000142386 700__ $$aBeghin, John C. 000142386 700__ $$aDisdier, Anne-Celia 000142386 700__ $$aMarette, Stephan 000142386 8564_ $$9c0093bac-181a-490c-8ff3-eee0a2beb018$$s715701$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/142386/files/IATRC_WP12-02_BeghinDisdierMarette_final.pdf 000142386 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/142386 000142386 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:142386$$pGLOBAL_SET 000142386 912__ $$nSubmitted by Linda Eells (lle@umn.edu) on 2013-01-08T21:28:13Z No. of bitstreams: 1 IATRC_WP12-02_BeghinDisdierMarette_final.pdf: 715701 bytes, checksum: 4fdcabdfd2e0107fefc5a256b5e48698 (MD5) 000142386 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2013-01-08T21:28:17Z (GMT).
