Grinols, Earl L. Da Silva, Peri Agostinho, Jr 2015-09-25T22:47:22Z 2015-09-25T22:47:22Z 10000-01-01 2005 2005 The third essay investigates the role played by domestic importers and foreign exporters in improving preferential access to the domestic market. To this end, the framework used in this essay extends the protection for sale analysis to explicitly model the role of domestic importers and foreign exporters in the determination of preferential trade treatment. The predictions of the model are tested using data on preferential trade between the United States and Latin American countries. The results suggest that Latin American exporters and US importers' lobbying efforts have a significant, and important role in determining the extent of preferential access granted by the United States. More interestingly, these findings also show that U.S. importers capture a very substantial share of the rents generated by tariff preferences. Made available in DSpace on 2015-09-25T22:47:22Z (GMT).
