Thesis (Ph.D.)--Georgetown University, 2010.

The dissertation studies two Non-tariffs Barriers to International Trade (NTBs) as they relate to trade liberalizations. Chapter 1 develops a theoretical model to explain the observed heterogeneity in the adoption of antidumping laws by small developing countries in an environment of multilateral tariff reduction. The analysis is based on a three-stage game of trade policy determination with imperfect competition in differentiated products where the potential lobby for protection is reflected in the government's objective function and where tariffs may be bound due to multilateral trade agreements. This framework implies that the implementation of this administrative protection device is the government's best response when multilateral bound tariffs reach a sufficiently low threshold. The heterogeneity in the adoption decision is explained by the relative size of the domestic market, the degree of product differentiation, and political economy motives.

520 $a The dissertation studies two Non-tariffs Barriers to International Trade (NTBs) as they relate to trade liberalizations. Chapter 1 develops a theoretical model to explain the observed heterogeneity in the adoption of antidumping laws by small developing countries in an environment of multilateral tariff reduction. The analysis is based on a three-stage game of trade policy determination with imperfect competition in differentiated products where the potential lobby for protection is reflected in the government's objective function and where tariffs may be bound due to multilateral trade agreements. This framework implies that the implementation of this administrative protection device is the government's best response when multilateral bound tariffs reach a sufficiently low threshold. The heterogeneity in the adoption decision is explained by the relative size of the domestic market, the degree of product differentiation, and political economy motives.
520 $a In chapter 2, I develop a new World Bank database of European standards for electronic products to study the impact of harmonization of product standards on European Union imports. We employ a gravity model to conclude that European Union standards for electronic products that are harmonized to international standards have a positive and significant effect on trade.
520 $a Chapter 3 further investigates this finding by decomposing the effect that harmonization entails into the intensive and extensive margins of trade. Using a highly detailed dataset that links U.S. international trade transactions to U.S. firms and a new industry-level database of EU product standards, I find that harmonization increases U.S. exports to the EU and that this increase is due to more U.S. firms entering the EU market -the extensive margin of trade. New entrants to the EU region are drawn mainly from the most productive set of firms already exporting to less stringent markets before harmonization -The extensive margin of trade composition. I also find that harmonization decreases export sales at existing exporters -the intensive margin of trade. These findings are consistent with a model featuring the role of product standards heterogeneity across market destinations and productivity heterogeneity across firms.
