Abstract

Our paper sheds light on Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) cooperation among trading countries. We contribute to the existing literature a data-driven analysis on the effectiveness of various forms (in monetary value, duration, and diversification) of SPS related technical assistance received by 33 countries from 1993 to 2015. The World Trade Organization's (WTO's) SPS Agreement encourages biosecurity for countries through technical assistance, to safeguard human health and productivity from contamination by biological hazards (pests, pathogens, or invasive species). Our panel model finds that WTO's SPS program encourages simultaneously agricultural trade and biosecurity. We implement a Multiple Indicator Solution (MIS) to correct bias from the endogenous technical assistance. The effectiveness of technical assistance depends on geography and the level of development among the heterogeneous countries referred to in our data. This investment in biosecurity benefits both donors and recipients of technical assistance. Based on our results donors should be encouraged to invest in countries with below average resources and abilities.
世界贸易组织是否为进出口商的生物安全和贸易提供了便利?
我们的论文揭示了贸易国之间的动植物卫生检疫(SPS)合作。我们以数据为导向,分析了 33 个国家在 1993 年至 2015 年期间接受的各种形式(货币价值、持续时间和多样化)的 SPS 相关技术援助的有效性,为现有文献做出了贡献。世界贸易组织(WTO)的《卫生和植物检疫措施协议》鼓励各国通过技术援助实现生物安全,以保障人类健康和生产力免受生物危害(害虫、病原体或入侵物种)的污染。我们的面板模型发现,世贸组织的 SPS 计划同时鼓励农业贸易和生物安全。我们采用多指标解决方案(MIS)来纠正内生技术援助带来的偏差。技术援助的有效性取决于我们数据中提到的不同国家的地理位置和发展水平。对生物安全的投资对技术援助的捐助者和受援者都有好处。根据我们的研究结果,应鼓励援助国对资源和能力低于平均水平的国家进行投资。
