Reis, José GuilhermeTaglioni, Daria2014-04-162014-04-162013-03https://hdl.handle.net/10986/17863This paper reviews Pakistan's recent trade performance, its trade policy and trade costs. Different dimensions of trade performance growth and orientation, diversification and sophistication are assessed, complemented by an in-depth analysis of export dynamics in the period 2001-10 using firm-level data. An econometric exercise is also performed to identify the impact of tariffs, exchange rates, fixed costs to export, foreign demand, and preferential trade policy on the ability of firms to increase their exports. The analysis of Pakistan's trade policy includes tariffs, effective protection and trade restrictiveness estimates, as well as an assessment of the role of preferential trade agreements in the context of regional integration. Finally, the main characteristics of trade facilitation and logistics are analyzed, covering the capacity, performance, quality of services and degree of integration of the logistics system.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGGREGATE CONSUMPTIONAGGREGATE IMPORTSAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTSANTI-DUMPING MEASURESAPPARELAPPAREL INDUSTRIESAPPLIED TARIFFAVERAGE TARIFFAVERAGE TARIFFSAVERAGE TRADEBALANCE OF PAYMENTSBALANCE OF PAYMENTS CRISISBARRIERS TO TRADEBILATERAL AGREEMENTBILATERAL AGREEMENTSBILATERAL IMPORTSBILATERAL INVESTMENT AGREEMENTSBILATERAL INVESTMENT TREATIESBILATERAL TRADEBILATERAL TRADE AGREEMENTSBILATERAL TRADE NEGOTIATIONSBORDER TRADEBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTCAPITAL GOODSCAPITAL-ABUNDANT COUNTRIESCOLLECTED TARIFFCOMPETITIVENESS OF FIRMSCONCESSIONSCURRENCYCUSTOMSCUSTOMS DUTIESCUSTOMS DUTYCUSTOMS PROCEDURESDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDOMESTIC INDUSTRIESDOMESTIC INDUSTRYDOMESTIC MARKETDOMESTIC PRODUCERSDOMESTIC TAXESDOUBLE TAXATIONDOUBLE TAXATION TREATIESDUMPINGDUTY DRAWBACKECONOMIC CRISISECONOMIC INTEGRATIONEQUILIBRIUMEXCHANGE RATE POLICYEXCHANGE RATESEXCISE DUTIESEXPORT BASKETEXPORT BASKETSEXPORT BIASEXPORT DIVERSIFICATIONEXPORT DYNAMICSEXPORT DYNAMISMEXPORT GROWTHEXPORT MARKETEXPORT MARKETSEXPORT OPPORTUNITIESEXPORT PERFORMANCEEXPORT PRICESEXPORT SECTOREXPORT SHAREEXPORT SHARESEXPORT SUBSIDYEXPORT TAXESEXPORT VALUEEXPORT VOLUMESEXPORTERSEXPORTSFINAL GOODSFIXED CAPITAL FORMATIONFOREIGN COMPANIESFOREIGN COMPETITORSFOREIGN FIRMSFOREIGN INVESTMENTFOREIGN INVESTORSFOREIGN MARKETSFOREIGN OWNERSHIPFOREIGN TRADEFREE TRADEFREE TRADE AGREEMENTFREE TRADE AGREEMENTSFREE ZONESFULL LIBERALIZATIONGLOBAL ECONOMYGLOBAL TRADEGRAVITY MODELHIGH TARIFFSHIGH TRADE BARRIERSIMPORT BANSIMPORT PROCEDURESIMPORT REGIMEIMPORT RESTRICTIONSIMPORT SUBSTITUTIONIMPORT TARIFFINDUSTRIAL POLICYINDUSTRIAL SECTORINFANT INDUSTRYINTERMEDIATE INPUTSINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINVESTMENT POLICYINVESTMENT PROTECTIONINVESTMENT RESTRICTIONSINVESTMENT TREATIESLIBERALIZATION AGENDALOBBYINGMARKET ACCESSMARKET DISTORTIONSMARKET SHARESMOST FAVORED NATIONMULTINATIONAL FIRMSMUTUAL RECOGNITIONMUTUAL RECOGNITION ARRANGEMENTSNON-TARIFF BARRIERSNORMAL TRADE RELATIONSOPENNESSPOLICY PRIORITIESPOLICY RESEARCHPREFERENTIAL MARKET ACCESSPREFERENTIAL TARIFFPREFERENTIAL TRADEPREFERENTIAL TRADE AGREEMENTPREFERENTIAL TRADE AGREEMENTSPREFERENTIAL TRADE POLICYPREFERENTIAL TREATMENTPRODUCT DIFFERENTIATIONPROTECTION MEASURESPROTECTION RATESPROTECTIONISMPROTECTIONISTPROTECTIONIST POLICIESQUANTITATIVE RESTRICTIONSRATES OF PROTECTIONREAL EXCHANGE RATERECIPROCITYREGIONAL INTEGRATIONREGIONAL TRADERESTRICTION INDEXSAFEGUARD MEASURESSKILLED LABORSPECIALIZATIONSTRATEGIC TRADE POLICYTARIFF BARRIERSTARIFF CHANGESTARIFF ESCALATIONTARIFF EXEMPTIONSTARIFF LEVELSTARIFF POLICIESTARIFF POLICYTARIFF PROTECTIONTARIFF RATESTARIFF REDUCTIONTARIFF REDUCTIONSTARIFF REFORMTARIFF REVENUETARIFF REVENUESTARIFF SCHEDULETARIFF STRUCTURETAX CONCESSIONSTECHNICAL BARRIERSTECHNOLOGY TRANSFERTERMS OF TRADETRADE AGENDATRADE AGREEMENTTRADE ALERTTRADE COSTSTRADE CREATIONTRADE DIVERSIONTRADE DIVERSION COSTSTRADE EFFECTSTRADE FACILITATIONTRADE FLOWSTRADE IMPEDIMENTSTRADE IN SERVICESTRADE INDICATORSTRADE INTEGRATIONTRADE LIBERALIZATIONTRADE MORETRADE NEGOTIATIONSTRADE OPENNESSTRADE PARTNERTRADE PARTNERSTRADE PATTERNSTRADE PERFORMANCETRADE POLICIESTRADE POLICYTRADE POLICY FRAMEWORKTRADE POLICY REFORMTRADE REGIMETRADE REGIMESTRADE RELATIONSTRADE RELATIONSHIPSTRADE RESTRICTIONTRADE RESTRICTIONSTRADE ROUTESTRADE STRATEGYUNILATERAL TRADEUNILATERAL TRADE LIBERALIZATIONWELFARE GAINSWORLD PRICESWORLD TRADEWORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION10.1596/17863
