Summary |
A widely accepted principle in international economics is that economic distortions have to be addressed with domestic policies rather than with external policies. In practice, however, there are numerous departures from this fundamental theorem. The adoption of protective trade policies has been rationalized as a tool to generate government revenue, preserve domestic firms' home market position, facilitate foreign market access, promote domestic saving, and as an instrument to maintain an appreciated exchange rate. Successful trade reform requires the dismantling of protection in concert with liberalization of exchange controls and rationalization of resource allocation through correction of price distortions |
