Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
If trade barriers are managed by inefficient institutions, trade
liberalization can lead to greater-than-expected gains. We examine
Chinese textile and clothing exports before and after the elimination
of externally imposed export quotas. Both the surge in export
volume and the decline in export prices following quota removal
are driven by net entry. This outcome is inconsistent with a model
in which quotas are allocated based on firm productivity, implying
misallocation of resources. Removing this misallocation accounts
for a substantial share of the overall gain in productivity associated
with quota removal.
