摘要:
自由贸易协定(FTAs)的主要特征之一是某些产品不包括在关税减让中。但是,为什么某些产品在自由贸易协定中得到的保护比其他产品更多?在本文中,我们使用分类的农产品数据和政治经济学分析框架来研究中国自由贸易协定中关税削减带来的产品排除的决定因素。考虑到现任政府的政治成本,我们的结果表明,与贸易创造相关的产品和具有政治敏感性的产品更有可能被排除在自由贸易协定的关税减让范围之外。此外,我们表明,中国政府倾向于通过其谈判能力来实现各种目标,即从大型贸易伙伴那里寻求更多的经济利益,并向小型贸易伙伴做出更多的让步。
Abstract
One of the main features of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) is that certain products are excluded from tariff concessions. But why do some products receive more protection than others in FTAs? In this paper, we use disaggregated agricultural product data and a political economy analytical framework to examine the determinants of product exclusions from tariff reductions in China’s FTAs. Taking into account the political costs of the incumbent government, our results show that products associated with trade creation and politically sensitive products are more likely to be excluded from tariff concessions in FTAs. Furthermore, we show that the Chinese government tends to use its negotiating power to achieve various objectives by seeking more economic benefits from large trading partners and making more concessions to small ones.
