DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This paper reviews the characteristics of international trade in services and of the World Trade Organization’s General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) framework, which was established to regulate it. Further liberalization of services trade in developing countries, as currently envisaged in the context of the WTO Doha Development Agenda, holds a number of potential benefits, such as underpinning the liberalization of goods trade, but it is also being resisted due to its potential adjustment costs. Two implications for IMF activities are examined: coherence among the three principal international economic institutions and sequencing with macroeconomic stabilization and regulatory reforms.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Australia's Trade Policies analyses the evolution and current content of these policies. A historical chapter explains why Australia adopted a policy of protecting manufacturing activities from import competition, and why this strategy was retained after other high-income countries reduced their trade barriers during the 1950s and 1960s. Australia began to change policy in 1973, but embarked on substantial trade liberalisation only in the 1980s. The book analyses the costs of protection and the political economy of policy reform. Individual chapters focus on primary industries, the manufacturing sector and trade in services. Going beyond the normal limits of trade theory. Chapters also deal with capital flows (and multinational enterprises) and the relationship between trade liberalisation and macroeconomic policy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →He finds that, in spite of US comparative advantage in service activities, service firms' export participation lags manufacturing firms. Jensen evaluates the impediments to services trade and finds evidence that there is considerable room for liberalization-especially among the large, fast-growing developing economies. The policy recommendations coming out of this path-breaking study are quite clear. The United States should not fear trade in services. It should be pushing aggressively for services trade liberalization. Because other advanced economies have similar comparative advantage in service, the United States should make common cause with the European Union and other advanced economies to encourage the large, fast-growing developing economies to liberalize their service sectors through multilateral negotiations in the General Agreement on Trade in Services and the Government Procurement Agreement.
