Dezember 2022, 15:30 Uhr Registration link: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_3CM9J2SPT0OFW7UjyEGCcQ This presentation is based on a paper co-authored with Pao-Li Chang and Shenxi Song. Abstract: Reciprocity is a key principle governing the negotiations under the GATT/WTO agreement, which calls for a balance of concessions among the WTO members. In recent years, however, various politicians across the world have voiced concerns about their country's excessive obligations under the WTO and a lack of reciprocation by their trading partners. Our objective in this paper is to evaluate the degree to which the pattern of applied tariffs across WTO members deviates from a balanced-concession condition. To this end, we employ a quantitative trade model and use alternative definitions of reciprocity to measure the concessions received and given by each country from 1995 to 2011. We find that over time, concessions have become more unbalanced mostly due to an increase in trade imbalances.
