Abstract

Purpose This study aims to estimate and compare the effect of EU and US GSP schemes on the cotton and textile sectors of Pakistan. Design/methodology/approach The analysis used data from 2003 to 2014 for all the 14 categories of cotton and textile products at two-digit using HS commodity classification. Effects of the EU and US GSPs are estimated using a gravity trade model. Findings Both the concessions are statistically significant determinants of wadding and nonwoven special yarn, articles of apparel-knitted, articles of apparel-not-knitted and made-up textiles sectors. In the rest of the sectors, the results are a mix. Among these, EU GSP is a statistically significant determinant of wool and animal hair and manmade filaments yarn exports, while the US GSP is important for the exports of cotton yarn and woven fabrics, manmade staple fibers, carpets, impregnated fiber and knitted or crocheted fabrics. Originality/value The research contributes in two major ways. First, it estimates the effects of EU and US GSPs on the textile sector of Pakistan while controlling for the effect of tariffs. Second, the study tests joint hypotheses about the role of EU and US GSPs in the cotton and textile products exports of Pakistan.

欧盟和美国的普惠制对巴基斯坦的棉花和纺织品出口有影响吗?

本研究旨在估计和比较欧盟和美国普惠制对巴基斯坦棉花和纺织部门的影响。设计/方法/方法分析使用2003年至2014年的数据，使用HS商品分类，对所有14类棉花和纺织产品进行两位数的分析。使用重力贸易模型估计欧盟和美国普惠制的影响。研究结果表明，这两种优惠都是棉和非织造特种纱、服装针织制品、服装非针织制品和纺织制成品的统计显著决定因素。其他行业的结果则是喜忧参半。其中，欧盟的普惠制对羊毛、动物毛及人造长丝的出口有显著的统计影响，而美国的普惠制则对棉纱及梭织织物、人造短纤维、地毯、浸渍纤维及针织或钩编织物的出口有重要影响。原创性/价值这项研究的贡献主要体现在两个方面。首先，它估算了欧盟和美国普惠制对巴基斯坦纺织行业的影响，同时控制了关税的影响。其次，本研究检验了欧盟和美国普惠制在巴基斯坦棉花和纺织品出口中的作用的联合假设。

期刊介绍： The Journal of International Trade Law and Policy is a peer reviewed interdisciplinary journal with a focus upon the nexus of international economic policy and international economic law. It is receptive, but not limited, to the methods of economics, law, and the social sciences. As scholars tend to read individual articles of particular interest to them, rather than an entire issue, authors are not required to write with full accessibility to readers from all disciplines within the purview of the Journal. However, interdisciplinary communication should be fostered where possible. Thus economists can utilize quantitative methods (including econometrics and statistics), while legal scholars and political scientists can invoke specialized techniques and theories. Appendices are encouraged for more technical material. Submissions should contribute to understanding international economic policy and the institutional/legal architecture in which it is implemented. Submissions can be conceptual (theoretical) and/or empirical and/or doctrinal in content. Topics of interest to the Journal are expected to evolve over time but include: -All aspects of international trade law and policy -All aspects of international investment law and policy -All aspects of international development law and policy -All aspects of international financial law and policy -Relationship between economic policy and law and other societal concerns, including the human rights, environment, health, development, and national security
