- Song , Yoo Cheul & Park, Ji Hyun (1999): Analysis on the Tariff Cut Formula in the WTO's Negotiation on Agriculture
As Korea needs to propose in the negotiation of tariff reduction a device by which exceptional measures on sensitive sectors can be allowed, it is important to establish some application method of tariff cut in advance. As no specific form of tariff reduction has yet been established, this study tries to apply to agriculture different tariff cut methods proposed in the course of GATT/WTO negotiation and to analyze the merits and shortcomings of each form of tariff reduction. In this way, it will lay a strong foundation for designing a negotiation scheme that will give Korea a favorable position in future tariff negotiation. ... It is desirable for Korea to actively take initiatives in next negotiation by developing and proposing its own tariff reduction scheme that would probably result in the adoption of a form of tariff cut favorable to Korea.

It suggests that decades of unilateral tariff cutting in Asia?... Using spatial econometrics, I show that tariffs on parts and components, a crucial locational determinant for Japanese firms, converged across countries following a contagion pattern. Tariffs followed those of competing countries if the latter were lower, if FDI jealousy was high, and when competing countries were at a similar level of development.

Indeed, the last successfully concluded multilateral trade negotiations led to substantial tariff concessions on the part of most developed economies. ... Have substantial tariff concessions subsequently been replaced by the use of alternative forms of import protection? In this paper we empirically investigate the relationship between negotiated external tariff cuts and the subsequent use of antidumping actions by the EU. Evidence is found for larger Uruguay Round tariff cuts increasing the probability of subsequent antidumping investigations.
RePEc:not:notgep:14/05 Save to MyIDEAS - Pierre-Louis Vézina (2014): Race-to-the-bottom Tariff Cutting
Unilateral tariff liberalization accounts for the lion's share of trade liberalization since the 1980s and has accompanied the most successful trade-led development model of the past 50 years, “Factory Asia”. ... This paper provides empirical evidence for seven Asian emerging economies from 1988 to 2006 consistent with a tariff race to the bottom driven by a competition for foreign direct investment (FDI). ... First, it is shown that tariffs on parts and components, intermediates and capital goods, crucial locational determinants for assembly firms, are correlated in competitive space, i.e. across countries at a similar level of development, but not across all countries. Second, it is shown that the tariff correlation in competitive space is significantly higher for inputs than consumer goods.

The purpose of study is to analyze both theoretical approaches and practical implicationsof unilateral tariff preference schemes. ... The article analyses modern theoretical and practical approaches to the non-reciprocal trade liberalization; also we examined current situation with tariff regulation in Ukraine-EU commodity trade. ... The provided analysis allowed us to substantiate that unilateral tariff reduction or elimination under these schemes could lead either to trade creation or trade diversion, depending firstly form the presence of market power of beneficiary country. The obtained results could be used for further estimation of impact of non-reciprocal reduction of tariffs by EU governments on Ukrainian export flows.

In order to analyze the Ukraine-EU trade arrangement in the context of modern theory of non-reciprocal trade agreements we provide brief examination of some theoretical approaches and practical implications of unilateral tariff preference schemes and examine current situation with tariff regulation in Ukraine-EU commodity trade. We found that unilateral tariff reduction or elimination under these schemes could lead either to trade creation or trade diversion, depending firstly form the presence of market power of beneficiary country. The obtained results could be used for further estimation of impact of non-reciprocal reduction of tariffs by EU governments on Ukrainian export flows
RePEc:pra:mprapa:70493 Save to MyIDEAS - Estelle, Gozlan & Ramos, Maria Priscila (2007): Selective Tariff Cuts for Environmentally Preferable Products
Current negotiations at the WTO’s Committee on Trade and Environment have made it conceivable that WTO members agree on selective tariff cuts for certain Environmentally Preferable Products, in an attempt to combine gains from trade and from cleaner production/consumption. ... Using a simple partial equilibrium model with two substitutable goods ('green' and conventional), we analyze the rationale for large trading countries to negotiate tariff cuts upon environmental characteristics of the production process. The extent and distribution of environmental and terms-of-trade effects are compared for three policy scenarios: free trade, selective tariff cuts for the 'green' product, domestic environmental policy. We show that if consumers in the importing country value the 'green’ product, selective tariff cuts result in lower pollution levels in both countries, due to substitution in consumption patterns.

This paper seeks to investigate US net potential benefits of merchandise imports from Mexico under tariff reductions. ... The results suggest that the magnitudes of US net potential benefits of tariff cuts on merchandise imports from Mexico are conditional upon periods of duration of unemployment, discount rates, price elasticities of supply and demand, and existing tariff situations (high or low). Hence, the findings of the paper suggest that the US potential benefits and costs of merchandise imports from Mexico under tariff cuts should be weighed quite carefully.
