Losses of tariff preferences and the export performance of less‐developed countries

“…Hufbauer (1970) employed per capita GDP as a 'catch-all' measure of a nation's technological sophistication. Goncalves and Richtering (1987) found high correlations between GDP growth rates and exports. Fetherston et al (1977), Arrto (1987), and Goodman and Ceyhun (1976) used unit labour costs as an explanatory variable, but, of course, this reflects wage rates as well as productivity.…”

“…There is extensive literature in international economics devoted to explanation of export performance or its dual, import penetration. In most of these cross-sectional studies (Fetherston et al, 1977;Goodman and Ceyhun, 1976;Goncalves and Richtering, 1987;Gruber et al, 1967;Hirsch, 1970;Hufbauer, 1970;Love, 1984), the dependent variable is a country's absolute exports, net exports, or export share in one year. A few studies (Helleiner, 1976;Khan, 1984;Pagoulatos and Sorenson, 1976;Sapir and Lundberg, 1984) have examined imports or import shares.…”

“…A few studies (Helleiner, 1976;Khan, 1984;Pagoulatos and Sorenson, 1976;Sapir and Lundberg, 1984) have examined imports or import shares. Others have attempted to explain the changes which occurred in these dependent variables over several years (Goncalves and Richtering, 1987;Goodman and Ceyhun, 1976;Hirsch, 1970;Kunst and Marin, 1989;Arize, 1990;Anderton, 1991;Riedel ef al., 1984;Ceglowski, 1989;Kirmani et al, 1984). We have been unable to find any research, however, which has tackled the more formidable task of explaining changes in supplier shares of highly disaggregated import markets from one year to the next.…”
