Trade Related Investment Measures and Development Strategy
评估了发展中国家常用的与贸易有关的投资措施（如本地含量要求、最低出口要求），认为这些措施只有在次优条件下才有经济合理性，且不能脱离投资激励或国内市场保护等更广泛的扭曲来孤立评价。
Trade related investment measures (TRIMs) refer to a set of conditions which are often applied to multinational enterprises. The most common TRIMS are local content requirements, minimum export requirements and local equity requirements. This article evaluates the use of these and other instruments in developing countries. It argues that the only sound economic case which can be made for these instruments is on second best grounds. This follows because their incidence is invariably correlated with other distortions, either in the form of investment incentives or a sheltered domestic market. In evaluating the role of TRIMs, one cannot isolate them from this wider set of measures. Copyright 1992 by WWZ and Helbing & Lichtenhahn Verlag AG
