A note on the effects of graduation under the US GSP on Africa
研究了1984年美国贸易法中的国家毕业条款将香港、韩国、新加坡和台湾从普惠制中移除后，对非洲最贫困国家的影响，发现此举对增加非洲受惠国的普惠制收益作用甚微。
The Trade and Tariff Act of 1984 includes a new measure, country graduation, designed to shift a greater share of the benefits of the US Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) from the more advanced developing countries to poorer beneficiary countries. This note presents estimates of the effects of graduating Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan on the poorest countries of Africa. Our results show that the removal of these four countries will do little to increase the GSP benefits of the African beneficiary countries.
