The coefficient of trade utilization : back to the Baldwin Envelope

Neary, J. Peter ; Anderson, James E. (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1989-04)

We define a distance function appropriate to the quantitative evaluation of trade reform, the coefficient of trade utilization. It is the natural measure for quota reform, and has theoretical and practical advantages over ...
Domestic distortions and international trade

Anderson, James E. ; Neary, J. Peter (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1992-12-15)

In this paper, we investigate techniques for measuring the trade policy equivalent of domestic distortions, using a distance function approach. Our measure, the Trade Restrictiveness Index, is shown to equal the uniform ...
Measuring the restrictiveness of trade policy

Anderson, James E. ; Neary, J. Peter (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1993-03-31)
The mercantilist index of trade policy

Anderson, James E. ; Neary, J. Peter (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2001-07-11)

We introduce an index of trade policy restrictiveness defined as the uniform tariff which maintains the same trade volume as a given tariff/quota structure. Our index overcomes the problems of the trade-weighted average ...
A new approach to evaluating trade policy

Anderson, James E. ; Neary, J. Peter (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1991-11-25)

This paper introduces a new measure, the Trade Restrictiveness Index, which measures the restrictiveness of a system of trade protection. The index is a general equilibrium application of the distance function and answers ...
A new approach to evaluating trade reform

Anderson, James E. ; Neary, J. Peter (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1988-07)

Dual methods are awkward to use for quota reform analysis. This paper develops a distance function concept (Deaton (1979)) relevant to trade distortions: the Distorted Trade Distance Function. It has the great advantage ...
Welfare versus market access : the implications of tariff structure for tariff reform

Anderson, James E. ; Neary, J. Peter (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 2004-09)

We show that the effects of tariff changes on welfare and import volume can be fully characterised by their effects on the generalised mean and variance of the tariff distribution. Using these tools, we derive new results ...
