Global value chain integration and non-tariff measures
研究了国内增加值在总贸易中的占比如何影响非关税措施的实施，发现进口中更高的国内增加值会降低政策制定者设置贸易限制性非关税措施的动机，效果与关税类似。
This paper investigates the degree to which domestic value added embodied in gross trade determines the formation of non-tariff measures (NTMs) imposed at the border and regulatory differences in technical regulation. We apply a recently developed political economy model of trade policies and global value chains to indicators of NTM restrictiveness. Our results demonstrate that higher domestic value added content in imports lowers policy makers’ incentives to impose trade restrictive NTM policies in a similar way as tariffs. These effects are heterogeneous with respect to sectors and income group of the policy-imposing country.
