“…Endnote a Many empirical studies (e.g., Sarker and Jayasinghe, 2007;Grant and Lambert, 2008;Lambert and McKoy, 2009;Sun and Reed, 2010;Ghazalian et al, 2011) reported increasing effects of several RTAs on international trade in agricultural products between member countries (i.e., trade creation effects), which often significantly exceed the decreasing effects of these RTAs on international trade in agricultural products between member countries and non-member countries (i.e., trade diversion effects). b Funk (2003) found that increases in import competition levels have reduced Research and Development (R&D) activities of manufacturing firms in the United States.…”

“…According to Leamer and Levinsohn (), the negative effect of the geographic distance on international trade flows is one of the clearest and most robust empirical findings in international economics. The empirical gravity literature on international trade in primary agricultural and processed food products generally focuses on investigating the implications of trade policy barriers (e.g., tariffs, nontariff barriers) and Preferential Trade Agreements (PTAs) for international trade (Ghazalian, Larue, & Gervais, ; Ghazalian, Tamini, Larue, & Gervais, ; Grant & Lambert, ; Haq, Meilke, & Cranfield, ; Koo, Kennedy, & Skripnitchenko, ; Lambert & McKoy, ; Olper & Raimondi, ; Sarker & Jayasinghe, ; Susanto, Rosson, & Adcock, ; Sun & Reed, ). This literature also reports substantial overall negative distance effects on primary agricultural and processed food trade.…”

The empirical trade literature regularly emphasizes the essential role of the geographic distance in determining the levels and patterns of international trade. This paper examines the diversities in the magnitude of the geographic distance effects on primary agricultural trade and on processed food trade between OECD countries. The empirical results from different specifications of the gravity model reveal the existence of significant variations in the magnitude of the distance effects on primary agricultural trade and on processed food trade over time and through economic, geo-economic, and socio-economic characteristics of the exporting and importing countries. These findings imply that disregarding the variations through the distance effect by relying on overall estimates would adversely affect the design of trade policies, and would limit the understanding of trade patterns.

“…In the EU market, developing countries have been responsible for 60% of the total import value of seafood products during the last decade (Table 1). At the same time, the seafood trade contributes substantially to the economies of developing countries in terms of foreign exchange earnings and labor employed (Panagariya 2002;Bostock, Greenhalgh, and Kleih 2004; Béné, Lawton, and Allison 2010;Ghazalian, Larue, and Gervais 2011). The duty-free access under the GSP-plus arrangement would be extended to include more seafood products from developing countries, which are currently outside the standard EU'S GSP arrangement.…”

Shipping the good fish out? An empirical study on the EU seafood imports under the EU’s Generalized System of Preferences

Bauman (2004) explored the Alchian-Allen result of change in a per-unit tax or shipping fee in an n-good world. His approach was developed in this study to evaluate the impact of the EU Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) on the relative EU's demand for seafood quality. We first explored the theoretical Alchian-Allen result of change in ad valorem tariffs in an n-good world, and then tested this result in the empirical study. The theoretical analysis suggests that whether a reduced ad valorem tariff in an n-good case raises the relative demand for high-value goods depends not only on the substitutability between high-value and low-value goods but also on the substitutability between these similar goods with their weak substitutes. In the empirical sections, we first estimated the elasticities of the substitutions and then used these elasticities to evaluate the quality composition of the EU's seafood imports from the beneficiary countries. The empirical results in general confirm the occurrence of "shipping the good fish out" due to the reduced tariff rates under the EU's GSP arrangements.
