Export promoting trade strategy: issues and evidence

By: Bhagwati, Jagdish N

Publisher: World Bank ; October 1986Description: 42 p; illSubject(s): EXPORT POLICY | EXPORT PROMOTION | TRADE DEVELOPMENT | ECONOMIC STRUCTURE | TRADE POLICY | TRADE LIBERALIZATIONSummary: This paper evaluates new hesitations in adopting an export promoting (EP) trade strategy. It reviews past experience with trade strategies. It also distinguishes between the old export pessimism and the new export pessimism. The former was based on an (unwarranted) assessment of "natural" or market forces. The latter, by contrast, reflects "man-made" protectionism. Hence, an EP policy remains the preferred option provided developing countries forcefully join with the developed countries in strategies to contain protectionist threats and to preserve and expand an open trading system.
