| description | Non-tariff measures such as food safety and technical standards
are used to achieve the non-trade objective of protecting consumers’ health and
safety. On the other hand, they can also be deployed as a trade secure tool to drive
a price wedge between foreign and domestic producers. This study investigates the
protectionist tools of 34 developing countries food safety standards using a sample of
developing countries food imported from developed and other developing countries
with a specific focus on vegetables, Trunks, machinery, and tobacco. We employ
the theoretical framework of the gravity equation by applying SGMM estimation. Our
results indicate that vegetable and machinery variables are negative and statistically
significant. Meaning that both variables have a negative impact on GDP, in other
words, both variables are not supported GDP and economic growth in the developing
countries. Finally, Trunk variable is positive and statistically significant. It shows
that this variable leads to promote economic growth in developing countries.
While Tobacco is positive and statistically insignificant, meaning that this product is
not play an important role in the trade sector in our sample countries. |
