and Output
Autumn 1993Volume 18, Number 3

Author: Susan Hickok

Many developing countries are currently easing import tariffs and other barriers to trade. This article estimates the impact of these reforms on international trade flows and global output under alternative assumptions about the ability of developing countries to finance increased import purchases.

The author also considers how the trade policies of the United States and other industrialized countries may influence the trade and output effects of the reforms.
