THE BENEFITS TO THE ACP COUNTRIES OF THE EEC‐ACP EXPORT EARNINGS STABILISATION SCHEME
研究了洛美协定中的Stabex计划对非洲、加勒比和太平洋国家经济的潜在影响,利用出口依赖度等数据构建受益指数,发现该计划并未特别惠及最不发达国家或较先进经济体,但为未来改进方向提供了指导。
This paper examines the potential impact of the ‘Stabex’ scheme of the Lomé Convention on the economies of the individual African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries which it is intended to benefit. Data on these countries' export dependence, on the nature of their exports, and on the markets for their exports are used to derive an index of potential benefit from a ‘Stabex’‐type scheme to the export sector and to the economy of each beneficiary . Such analysis provides no evidence that ‘Stabex’ is likely to be of most benefit to the relatively more advanced ACP economies, and lends little support to the view that it especially benefits the least prosperous, but guidelines are provided as to the direction the scheme might take in the future to improve the potential benefit to the ACP States .
