Norsk utenrikshandel, markedspotensial og handelshindre
Full text link-Dette notatet drøfter norsk eksport og virkninger av toll som
legges på norsk eksport til andre land. Notatet viser at uavhengig av toll er økonomisk størrelse og geografisk avstand viktige forklaringsvariable for norsk eksport. Derfor kan ofte betydningen av handelspolitikk overdrives. Analysen av virkningene av toll mot norsk eksport viser likevel at tollsatser bidrar til redusert eksport. Et disaggregert datasett viser klare og signifikante effekter av tollsatser i andre land. For enkelte land kan effekten av å fjerne toll være at eksporten øker med mer enn 20 prosent. Resultatene må likevel tolkes med forsiktighet: Ulike varer har ulik følsomhet for tollsatser
Tollnedtrapping for industrivarer i WTO - Virkninger for Norge
No full textNotatet diskuterer mulige virkninger av tollreduksjoner gjennom forhandlinger i WTO for eksport av norske industrivarer. Ulike forslag om tollreduksjoner, som bruken av den såkalte Girards formel diskuteres. Det vises at reduksjoner i tråd med Girards formel kan gi økt norsk eksport på i underkant av to prosent for et utvalg av land. Virkningene er ulikt fordelt over handelspartnere og sektorer. For land Norge har preferanseavtaler med gir tollreduksjoner gjennom WTO ingen økning i eksport. For andre land vil tollreduksjoner gi til dels betydelig effekt
Norway's trade with developing countries
Full text link-This paper presents some characteristics of Norway’s trade with
developing countries. Norwegian trade with low and low middle-income countries has
increased in recent years. Imports have increased more than exports. This is partly because
a large part of Norwegian exports is petroleum sold to other OECD countries. Norwegian
trade with the least developed countries, on the other hand, is stagnant and constitutes only
a minor share of Norwegian foreign trade. This pattern is similar to other OECD countries:
Developing countries increase their share in world trade while least developed countries are
marginalized. By adjusting for size and geographical position of Norwegian trade partners it
is found that Norwegian trade with developing countries is as expected as compared to other
OECD countries
ICT, growth and happiness
No full textThis paper reviews two strands of literature. The first is on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and growth. The increasing role of ICTs came together with stagnating growth rates in many countries. This has been denoted the Solow paradox. During the dot-com era from the mid-1990s, many believed that the paradox was solved. Growth rates increased and the internet became pervasive. The great recession has been followed by lower growth in Europe and in the United States and a return of the Solow paradox. Evidence indicates that the share of internet users in a population had a positive effect of growth in the 1990s, but that this effect vanished for developed countries after 2000. The second strand of literature is a heterogeneous research tradition that relates ICT not to income and growth, but to human well-being. That literature indicates positive (as well as some negative) effects of ICT and the internet on people’s happiness. Some new evidence indicate that the share of internet users in populations in a panel of countries is positively related to average happiness
Frihandelsavtalen mellom EU og Canada : Virkninger for Norge og norsk eksport av fisk
No full text-I 2016 er det ventet at ferdigforhandlet frihandelsavtale mellom EU og Canada vil tre i kraft. Avtalen innebærer at de fleste tollsatser mellom EU og Canada fjernes. Det tas også sikte på å redusere andre handelshindre.
Den samlede utenrikshandelen til EU og Canada representerer om lag 34 prosent av den totale verdenshandelen. Handelen mellom EU og Canada er mindre og representerer 0.25 prosent av verdens totale handel. Avtalen er likevel viktig og den er ventet å øke handelen mellom EU og Canada.
Avtalen får også virkninger for andre land. En virkning av frihandelsavtaler
er handelsvridning. Import fra tredjeland erstattes av import
fra avtalepartnerne. For Norge kan dette være av betydning siden Norge i utgangspunktet har frihandelsavtaler både med EU og Canada.
Norges handelspreferanser i EU og Canada blir mindre med frihandelsavtale mellom EU og Canada.I notatet beregnes slike virkninger for Norges eksport til EU og til Canada. Virkningene på norsk eksport avhenger av handelshindrene iutgangspunktet og av markedsandelen til henholdsvis EU i canadiske markeder og Canada i europeiske markeder. De samlede virkningene av frihandelsavtalen mellom EU og Canada beregnes å være små. Men for enkelte varer og varetyper kan virkningene være betydelige
Trade and development - a selective review
Full text link-This paper reviews parts of the recent literature on trade and growth.
The relationships between trade and growth have been extensively studied in recent
research. Many studies indicate that trade stimulates income and growth. The literature is
controversial and many studies are criticised for weaknesses in methodology. Despite the
methodological controversies, most evidence gives support for the view that trade stimulates
growth. It is argued that major deficiency in the literature is that it does not discriminate
between the impact of market access in other countries and the impact of liberal domestic
trade policies
Geography and growth - some empirical evidence
No full text-Income in the world does not distribute randomly in space. There are geographic clusters of rich and poor countries. Also growth rates tend to be spatially clustered. Spatial regression analyses indicate that geographical clustering may be an inherent ingredient in growth mechanisms: Growth in one country stimulates growth in surrounding countries. A simple exogenous growth model with technology diffusion through trade in capital goods can account for some, but not all of these empirical patterns of growth and income distribution
