Abstract

Korea Protectionism
This paper develops a theoretical framework based on the Marshallian partial-equilibrium approach to measure the welfare effects of quantitative restrictions on exporting countries when their exports are quantitatively restricted by several importing countries simultaneously. The practical methodology developed here is applied to measure the costs of two major protectionist measures imposed by industrial countries on imports of nonrubber footwear. The OMAs are found not to be detrimental to Korea in the aggregate, mainly because of quota rents to Korean producers being derived from higher prices in the restricted markets. Countervailing duties significantly harmed the Brazilian economy. Reprinted by permission of Taylor and Francis Ltd.
