Book Description
Recently, strategic protective trade policies are emerging. The strategic choices are a result of asymmetric information on demand parameters and a firm's cost structure. In this paper, we will suggest the optimal policy of eliciting private information from domestic firms. The policy is a contract of menus, comprising a tariff and a production subsidy (henceforth, subsidy). When one domestic firm and another foreign firm compete in a duopolistic domestic market, we consider unilateral intervention of the domestic government. The domestic firm privately holds information on the industrial cost structure. The main findings are as follows. First, the two policies can be equivalent conditionally. We will provide conditions for equivalence. Second, the domestic firm has an incentive to misreport the industrial cost structure to the government. Using a menu of a tariff and a subsidy (in combination with a lump-sum transfer), the government can screen the domestic firm's marginal cost. That is, the menu leads the domestic firm to disclose private information.

Book Description
In this paper, we analyze the following policy dilemma: strategic trade policy versus free trade when the domestic government is bound to intervene only after the domestic firm's strategic variable is chosen. This intervention allows the domestic firm to manipulate the domestic government and results in a socially inefficient choice of the strategic variable. However, commitment to free trade leads to forgoing the benefits from profit-shifting. Yet, from the social point of view, free trade may be optimal even under the assumption of symmetric information. Due to costly signaling, this result is reinforced in the case of asymmetric information.

Book Description
Trade flows and trade policies need to be properly quantified to describe, compare, or follow the evolution of policies between sectors or countries or over time. This is essential to ensure that policy choices are made with an appropriate knowledge of the real conditions. This practical guide introduces the main techniques of trade and trade policy data analysis. It shows how to develop the main indexes used to analyze trade flows, tariff structures, and non-tariff measures. It presents the databases needed to construct these indexes as well as the challenges faced in collecting and processing these data, such as measurement errors or aggregation bias. Written by experts with practical experience in the field, A Practical Guide to Trade Policy Analysis has been developed to contribute to enhance developing countries' capacity to analyze and implement trade policy. It offers a hands-on introduction on how to estimate the distributional effects of trade policies on welfare, in particular on inequality and poverty. The guide is aimed at government experts engaged in trade negotiations, as well as students and researchers involved in trade-related study or research. An accompanying DVD contains data sets and program command files required for the exercises. Copublished by the WTO and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development
