Bown, Chad P.2012-03-192012-03-192010-05-01https://hdl.handle.net/10986/3787This paper examines the role of the public sector in providing additional information to exporters in developing countries as they seek to monitor and keep open their access to foreign markets by using the rules of the WTO system. It highlights new information generation and dissemination initiatives undertaken by the WTO Secretariat, Global Trade Alert, and the World Bank in response to the global economic crisis of 2008-2009. Given trends in the imposition of new crisis-era trade barriers that these initiatives have identified, the paper describes ways in which the new sources of rich and detailed data may be used to further assist developing country exporters that may lack the capacity to sufficiently monitor their trading interests by relying solely on private resources.CC BY 3.0 IGOAGGREGATE DEMANDAGREEMENT ON SAFEGUARDSAGREEMENT ON SUBSIDIESANTIDUMPINGANTIDUMPING DATABASEANTIDUMPING FILINGSANTIDUMPING MEASURESAPPLIED TARIFFBENCHMARKBILATERAL IMPORTSBORDER MEASURESCHANGES IN TRADECONSUMERSCOUNTERVAILING DUTIESCOUNTERVAILING MEASURESCUSTOMSDEVALUATIONDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRYDEVELOPING COUNTRY EXPORTSDEVELOPING ECONOMIESDISPUTE RESOLUTIONDISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESSDISPUTE SETTLEMENTDISPUTE SETTLEMENT PROCESSDISPUTE SETTLEMENT SYSTEMDOMESTIC INDUSTRIESDOMESTIC INDUSTRYECONOMETRIC ANALYSISECONOMIC CRISISECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC DOWNTURNECONOMIC IMPLICATIONSECONOMIC INFORMATIONECONOMIC POLICYECONOMIC THEORYEQUILIBRIUMEXPECTED VALUEEXPORT CREDITEXPORT FINANCINGEXPORT MARKETEXPORT SUBSIDYEXPORT TAXESEXPORTERSEXPORTING COUNTRIESEXPORTING COUNTRYEXPORTSEXTERNAL TARIFFFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL SERVICESFIRM PERFORMANCEFISCAL POLICIESFOREIGN COUNTRIESFOREIGN COUNTRYFOREIGN EXPORTERSFOREIGN FIRMSFOREIGN GOVERNMENTFOREIGN MARKETFOREIGN MARKETSFOREIGN SOURCESFOREIGN SUBSIDIESFOREIGN SUPPLIERSFOREIGN TRADEFULL DISCLOSUREGLOBAL ECONOMYGLOBAL TRADEIMPORT BANSIMPORT DATAIMPORT DUTYIMPORT LICENSINGIMPORT QUOTASIMPORT RESTRICTIONIMPORT RESTRICTIONSIMPORT STATISTICSINFORMED DECISIONINSTITUTIONAL INFRASTRUCTUREINSURANCEINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTIONINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC LAWINTERNATIONAL ECONOMICSINTERNATIONAL GOVERNANCEINTERNATIONAL MARKETINTERNATIONAL TRADEINTERNATIONAL TRADE STATISTICSINTERNATIONAL TRADINGINTERNATIONAL TRADING ENVIRONMENTINTERNATIONAL TRADING SYSTEMJURISDICTIONSLEGAL ASSISTANCEMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSMACROECONOMIC CRISISMACROECONOMIC FACTORSMARKET ACCESSMARKET ACCESS OPPORTUNITIESMARKET CONDITIONSMARKET INTERESTSMORTGAGEMULTILATERAL AGREEMENTSMULTILATERAL NEGOTIATIONSNATIONAL TRADE POLICYNATIONAL TREATMENTNON-TARIFF BARRIERSOPENNESSPOLICY RESEARCHPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLITICAL REASONSPOSITIVE EXTERNALITIESPRIVATE LAWPROFIT MARGINSPROTECTIONISMPROTECTIONISTPUBLIC ASSISTANCEPUBLIC GOODRECESSIONSAFEGUARD MEASURESSTATE TRADINGSUNSET PROVISIONSSUNSET REVIEWSTARIFF BARRIERSTARIFF LINETARIFF LINESTARIFF RATETARIFF RATE QUOTASTECHNICAL BARRIERTRADE AGREEMENTSTRADE ALERTTRADE ASSOCIATIONSTRADE BARRIERTRADE BARRIERSTRADE DATATRADE FINANCETRADE FLOW DATATRADE FLOWSTRADE MEASURESTRADE POLICIESTRADE POLICYTRADE POLICY REVIEWTRADE PROTECTIONTRADE REMEDIESTRADE REMEDYTRADE REMEDY LAWSTRADE RESTRICTIONSTRANSPARENCYUNEMPLOYMENTVOLATILITYWORLD ECONOMYWORLD TRADEWORLD TRADE ORGANIZATIONWORLD TRADING SYSTEMWTOWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-5301
