The Effects of the Services Directive on Intra-eu Trade and fdi

Abstract: Résumé L’hétérogénéité des politiques menées à l’échelle internationale crée des coûts additionnels pour les firmes de services réalisant des échanges ou des investissements dans d’autres pays. Les fournisseurs de services doivent en effet se conformer à divers types de règles sur chaque marché où ils opèrent. Ces réglementations engendrent des coûts fixes d’entrée, spécifiques à chaque marché à l’export. Dans ce cadre, nous développons un nouvel indicateur d’hétérogénéité bilatérale afin de l’utiliser comme p… Show more

“…The regulatory heterogeneity index shows that there is also a wide dispersion in the composition of the indices, and that such dispersion signifies a different dimension only weakly related to the dispersion of the overall STRI indices. The first study to develop regulatory heterogeneity indices analysed the impact of the European Union services directive (Kox and Lejour, 2006). It used the OECD Product Market Regulation (PMR) survey to calculate heterogeneity indices by establishing for each country pair and each measure whether or not the two countries had the same answer.…”

“…Political economy factors (generally not found in CGE models) also matter. Kox and Lejour (2006) project that the original 2004 EU Services Directive could have increased intra-EU services trade by 30 to 60 percent and direct investment in services by 18 percent to 36 percent. The revised directive that was adopted in 2006 is unlikely to have such effects given that key aspects of the initial proposal were removed, in particular acceptance of home country regulation.…”

“…There are a number of papers in the literature that focus on the effects of domestic regulation as well as the impacts of discriminatory policies -e.g., Kox and Lejour (2006) and Lejour, Rojas-Romagosa and Verweij (2008), as well as much of the Australia-based research covered above. Doing more to accurately characterize both types of measures and the likely impacts of reform is important for work in this area to be policy-relevant.…”

“…Les études analysant par exemple la directive européenne sur les services qui a été proposée initialement constatent que les échanges intracommunautaires de services pourraient s'accroître de 30 à 60 % une fois cette directive mise en oeuvre (par exemple : Kox et Lejour, 2006). Cette augmentation des échanges serait très supérieure à celle qui a fait suite à la création du marché intérieur en 1994.…”
