“…Various studies have made estimates of the price-raising effects of binding quotas (Hamilton, 1986;Khanna and Kumar, 1990;Majmudar, 1990). Erzan et al's (1990) analysis showed the price differential to be significant between restricted and non-restricted products.'…”

“…For textiles, the quotas for each country are determined under the Multi-Fiber Arrangement (MFA), which are then allocated to firms by their governments. In Hong Kong, the firms are permitted to trade these quotas on a secondary market (Hamilton, 1986).

How costly is protectionism? This paper begins from a U.S. perspective, examining the costs to both the U.S. and other countries from U.S. protectionism. It emphasizes that substantial costs are imposed on foreign countries by U.S. protectionism. These costs result from the highly selective nature of protection in particular industries and against particular exporting countries. No discussion of the costs of protection would be complete without mentioning the increasing levels of investment by foreign firms within the U.S. economy. The paper next moves to a more global policy perspective. The emerging free trade areas in Europe, North America, and Asia raise the prospect of gains from trade within each region but also the possibility of global costs from protectionist actions across the regions.

Recent U.S. textile and apparel imports were examined at a detailed product level to assess factors explaining the level of non-tariff trade barriers ( N T B s ) . Determinants of N T B s at the micro level were consistentwith prior studies utilizing more aggregated data. Import penetration, per unit import cost, import quantity chatzge, import valae, and prodact type were significant variables in explaining the variability of import controls.
