Gamberoni, ElisaNewfarmer, Richard2012-03-192012-03-192009-07-01https://hdl.handle.net/10986/4350This paper is designed to help both the beneficiary governments and donors of aid-for-trade identify countries that are under-performing in trade and which are receiving less aid for trade than their global performance might otherwise suggest is necessary. The authors develop ten measures of trade performance and capacity (including trade-related infrastructure, institutions, and incentives) to assess potential demand, and then look at country allocations of aid for trade to see which are receiving below-average amounts in the supply of aid for trade - relative to their potential demand. As they design national development strategies, countries may wish to consider giving greater attention to trade and requesting that donors allocate more aid for trade. As part of the analysis, the paper provides a conceptual framework for selecting indicators of trade performance and its policy determinants that the World Trade Organization and its partners might monitor closely as part of the aid for trade initiative.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO TELECOMMUNICATIONAGGREGATE SUPPLYAIRAIR TRANSPORTAIRPORTSAPPLIED TARIFFAUTOMOTIVE SECTORAVERAGE PRODUCTIVITYBANK ACCOUNTSBILATERAL TRADEBORDER CROSSINGSBORDER PROTECTIONBRIDGECAPITAL MARKETCOMMODITIESCOMMODITYCOMMODITY EXPORTSCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECOMPETITIVENESSCONTRACT ENFORCEMENTCOST OF TRANSPORTCOUNTRY MARKETSCUSTOMSDEBTDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRYDEVELOPING ECONOMIESDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESECONOMIC COOPERATIONECONOMIC OUTLOOKECONOMIC SIZEEXCHANGE RATEEXPECTED VALUEEXPORT BASKETEXPORT GROWTHEXPORT INDUSTRIESEXPORT MARKETEXPORT MARKET SHAREEXPORT MARKETSEXPORT PERFORMANCEEXPORT PRICESEXPORT PROMOTIONEXPORT PROMOTION AGENCIESEXPORT SALESEXPORT TAXEXPORTERSEXPORTSEXTERNAL BARRIERSFINANCIAL MARKETSFOREIGN CURRENCYFOREIGN MARKETFREE TRADEFREE TRADE AGREEMENTFREE TRADE AREAFREIGHTFREIGHT COSTSGDPGDP PER CAPITAGEOGRAPHIC MARKETSGLOBAL COMPETITIVENESSGLOBAL ECONOMYGLOBAL EXPORTGLOBAL MARKETGLOBAL MARKETPLACEGLOBAL MARKETSGLOBAL TRADEGRAVITY EQUATIONGRAVITY MODELGROWTH RATEIMPORT MARKETSIMPORT TARIFFSIMPORTSINCOMEINFLATION RATEINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINFRASTRUCTURE COSTINTERMEDIATE INPUTSINTERNATIONAL ECONOMICSINTERNATIONAL PRODUCTIONINTERNATIONAL TRADEINVESTMENT CLIMATEITCLDCSLEGAL SYSTEMLEGAL SYSTEMSLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMACROECONOMIC INSTABILITYMARGINAL EFFECTSMARKET ACCESSMARKET DEMANDMARKET SHAREMARKET SHARESMARKET SIZEMEASURE OF TRADEMIDDLE INCOME COUNTRIESMIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIESMOBILE PHONEMOBILE PHONESNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNEW PRODUCTOPENNESSPER CAPITA INCOMEPORT INFRASTRUCTUREPORTFOLIOPOSITIVE EFFECTSPREFERENTIAL TARIFFPRICE INCENTIVESPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRODUCTIVITYPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC GOODQUALITY OF TRANSPORTRAILRAIL LINESRAILWAYSREAL GROWTH RATESREGRESSION ANALYSISREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTROADROADSSANITATIONSMALL COUNTRYSPECIALIZATIONTARIFF ESCALATIONTARIFF LINESTAXTELECOMMUNICATIONSTERMS OF TRADETRACK RECORDTRADE AGREEMENTTRADE BARRIERSTRADE CAPACITYTRADE CENTERTRADE COSTSTRADE DATATRADE FACILITATIONTRADE FLOWSTRADE INDICATORSTRADE LIBERALIZATIONTRADE PARTNERTRADE PATTERNSTRADE PERFORMANCETRADE POLICYTRADE REGIMETRADE REGIMESTRADE RESTRICTIONSTRADE VOLUMETRADE VOLUMESTRANSITTRANSPORTTRANSPORT COSTSTRUEUNDERDEVELOPED FINANCIAL SYSTEMSVOLATILITYVOLUME OF TRADEWORLD DEVELOPMENT INDICATORSWORLD ECONOMYWORLD MARKETWORLD MARKETSWORLD TRADEWORLD TRADE ORGANIZATIONWTOWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-4991
