Impediments to Trade in Services: Measurements and Policy Implications - Routledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia
Tony Warren
This book contains studies measuring impediments to trade and investment in a variety of sectors, including telecommunications, finance, shipping, education and air transport.
Publisher Marketing: The economic impact of barriers to world trade and investment in services has been thought impossible to measure. As a consequence, significant global policy initiatives such as the General Agreement on Trade in Services have been concluded in an information void. This book challenges the view that impediments to services trade cannot be quantified, detailing how these barriers can be measured and their significance estimated. It contains studies measuring impediments to trade and investment in a variety of sectors, including telecommunications, finance, shipping, education and air transport.
