Multilateral Liberalisation of Services Trade
Staff research paper
Multilateral Liberalisation of Services Trade was released on 16 March 2000. Earlier versions of this paper were presented at the 28th Annual Conference of Economists at La Trobe University in September 1999, and at the World Services Congress in Atlanta and Australian National University in Canberra in November 1999.
This paper compares estimates of the gains from eliminating barriers to trade in services with those from eliminating post-Uruguay barriers remaining in the traditional areas of agriculture and manufacturing. It uses a model that incorporates a bilateral treatment of foreign direct investment, one of the key vehicles by which services are traded internationally.The model is a version of GTAP with foreign direct investment, known as FTAP.
