Competition law enforcement can be traced to export performance and is complementary to trade reforms. Pro-competition market regulation that reduces restrictions and promotes competition, where it is viable, is an important determinant for trade. The elimination of barriers to entry and rivalry, and a level playing field in upstream sectors contributes to export competitiveness in downstream manufacturing sectors. In some sectors, effective competition policy can directly lower trade costs.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOTARIFFSGROWTH RATESTRADE VOLUMESMARKET STRUCTURESMALL ECONOMIESWORLD TRADE ORGANIZATIONTARIFF PROTECTIONPRODUCT MARKETBARRIEREXPORT SECTORSGLOBAL MARKETSSALESINCOMEREGULATORY STANDARDSLAW ENFORCEMENTMARGINAL COSTEXPORT PERFORMANCEEMERGING ECONOMIESIMPACT OF TRADESERVICES MARKETSEXPORTSDOMESTIC MARKETDEVELOPING COUNTRIESTRADE FLOWSEXPORTERSDEVELOPING ECONOMIESANTITRUST LAWINTERNATIONAL BUSINESSMARKET SIZERETAIL MARKETANTITRUST POLICYTRADE REFORMSPRICINGHOME MARKETMERGERSPRODUCTION STRUCTURESPRICEINPUTSTRADE PERFORMANCEEXPORT RATIOSMARKET ACCESSRETAILTRADE AGREEMENTSCOMMUNICATIONSTRADE PATTERNSPUBLIC POLICYINFLUENCEINTERNATIONAL COMPETITIVENESSMARKET CONCENTRATIONDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSEXPORT GROWTHTELECOMMUNICATIONSEXPORT INTENSITYREGULATORY BARRIERSNATIONAL COMPETITIONPRODUCTSPRODUCTIVITYBARRIERS TO ENTRYMARKETINGMARKETSNET EXPORTSWTOCARTELDOMESTIC COMPETITORSACCESSTRADE POLICYINTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONPRODUCTEXPORT MARKETTRADE POLICIESLIBERALIZATIONECONOMIC RESEARCHNATURAL MONOPOLIESINVESTMENT RESTRICTIONSKNOWLEDGE SPILLOVERSINDIVIDUAL FIRMDOMESTIC MARKETSINTERNATIONAL TRADEREGIONALISMBARRIERSTRADE COSTSCOMPETITION POLICYMARKET REGULATIONSMALL COUNTRIESVALUECOMPETITIVENESSFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTWORLD ECONOMYEXPORT SHARESAGRICULTURECOMPETITION LAWDECISION MAKINGANTITRUST AUTHORITIESSHARESFOREIGN COMPETITORSMARKETTRADE LIBERALIZATIONTOTAL SALESMARKET COMPETITIONOUTPUTMARKET STRUCTURESCOMPARATIVE ECONOMICSENFORCEMENTANTITRUST ENFORCEMENTMANUFACTURING INDUSTRIESTRADECOMPETITION LAW ENFORCEMENTFOREIGN COMPETITIONGOODSTHEORYMARKET SHAREBILATERAL TRADEINVESTMENTDOMESTIC COMPETITIONSHAREINVESTMENT CLIMATEMONOPOLIESTARIFFSUPPLYMARKET POWERPRODUCT MARKETSINVESTMENTSWORLD TRADECOMMUNICATIONTRANSITION ECONOMIESTRANSPORT COSTSPRICE CONTROLSINTERNATIONAL MARKETSPRICESCOMPETITIONBriefWorld Bank10.1596/23658
