Due to its geographical location advantage, the length of the seacoasts, and the fact that a large part of the population and industry is located on the shores, Turkey has the potential to meet its resource needs. The geostrategic location of Turkey dictates the utilization of this productive resource. Freight transport on sea routes, which are the veins of the economy, has a special importance for Turkey with its 8,333 km of coastline and 180 ports. With its strategic location in the Mediterranean, Aegean and Black Sea regions, Turkey serve as a commercial bridge between Asia, Africa and Europe. Our ports in the Marmara Sea, our inland sea, also make an important contribution to trade. In conclusion, the Turkish economy benefits so much from the maritime transport on the cargo carried by sea. The economic contribution of maritime transport to Turkey is not only with its maritime economic value, but it also actually contributes directly to the entire trade and economy of Turkey. Therefore, it is necessary to achieve the economic value of maritime transport, which keeps the economy dynamic and will continue to do so, especially with more national contributions.","PeriodicalId":14394,"journal":{"name":"International Political Economy: Trade Policy eJournal","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83783512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chaudhuri","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3906479","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3906479","url":null,"abstract":"India has one of the most advanced pharmaceutical industries among developing countries. Yet India is critically dependent on China for supplies of bulk drugs and drug intermediates with China accounting for about two-thirds of the total imports. In the early 1990s, China was relatively a minor source of bulk drugs imports for India. Imports increased since then and sharply accelerated after the early 2000s. By the mid-1990s, India was able to successfully develop a pharmaceutical industry. The policies that India pursued till then significantly influenced the transformation. The mid-1990s however saw the beginning of a series of policy changes in India in the pharmaceutical industry. Unlike China where the government intervened strongly, the role of the government was consciously diminished in India. As a result, India became increasingly dependent on bulk drugs supplied from China. India’s critical dependence on China for bulk drug supplies was flagged from time to time in different circles. The government has been slow in responding to the situation but has now announced major schemes for promoting local production of bulk drugs, drug intermediates and key starting materials. These are expected to have a major impact. But the paper argues that these deal with only a part of the problem and suggests the other policy steps that need to be taken.","PeriodicalId":14394,"journal":{"name":"International Political Economy: Trade Policy eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81950193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We explore the theme of disruption along the trifecta of AI-related technological, economic, and legal change. We observe that the increasing adoption of AI leads to political, economic, and social pressures across jurisdictions and levels of governance. Policy makers and stakeholders engage in different governance venues to debate regulatory design choices: whether to regulate, why to regulate, when to regulate, whom or what to regulate, how to regulate, and who should regulate? We argue that IEL is increasingly shaping and influencing the regulatory discourse around AI and vice versa. In this context, we explore the extent to which IEL is being reconfigured and examine the need for further reconfiguration. We conclude by bringing the contributions we assembled in this volume into conversation with one another and identify topics that warrant further research.","PeriodicalId":14394,"journal":{"name":"International Political Economy: Trade Policy eJournal","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73999022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ce nouvel accord remplace l’Accord de libre-échange nord-américain (ALÉNA), mais il reproduit les trois mêmes mécanismes de règlement des différends que son prédécesseur, avec certaines modifications notables, surtout en matière de travail, d’environnement et d’investissement. L’ALÉNA prévoyait un mécanisme général de règlement des différends, mais aussi un mécanisme spécial d’examen des droits antidumping ou compensateurs par des groupes spéciaux binationaux, ainsi qu’un mécanisme de règlement des différends entre investisseur et État (RDIE) dans son célèbre chapitre 11. La première partie examine les améliorations apportées au mécanisme général de règlement des différends. La deuxième partie étudie le maintien du mécanisme des groupes spéciaux binationaux en matière de dumping et de subventionnement. La troisième partie met en lumière le relâchement du mécanisme de RDIE dans l’ACÉUM. L’article conclut qu’une continuité s’observe entre l’ACÉUM et l’ALÉNA en matière de règlement des différends, en ce qui concerne le mécanisme général et le mécanisme spécial pour le dumping et le subventionnement, alors qu’une rupture nette s’opère en matière d’investissement avec le mécanisme de RDIE.","PeriodicalId":14394,"journal":{"name":"International Political Economy: Trade Policy eJournal","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86528082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As legislative tax changes we consider (i) all changes, (ii) personal income tax changes, (iii) business tax changes, (iv) indirect tax changes in Germany and the UK, (v) spillovers of US tax changes into Germany and the UK, and (vi) asymmetric reactions after tax hikes and cuts. Generally, we find that after a reduction in aggregated tax liabilities, imports and exports in the US and Germany react quite similarly: imports tend to rise; exports do not change much. Consequently—and fostered by growing output—the net-exports-to-GDP ratio decreases. We find no clear net effect in the UK. Instead, UK imports only increase after cuts to indirect taxes. However, employing normal variations of the tax changes as a yardstick, the economic magnitude of the estimated effects on the trade variables is not particularly large. Thus, there remain doubts as to whether tax policy is an effective in-strument for addressing trade imbalances.","PeriodicalId":14394,"journal":{"name":"International Political Economy: Trade Policy eJournal","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85301743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our analysis uses a two-step process, starting with a Bayesian dynamic latent factor model (BDFM) to simultaneously estimate the four dynamic factors, followed by the application of Bayesian model averaging to identify the variables that explain the shares of volatility. Our key findings are: (i) international factors are the most important in explaining fluctuations in international trade, suggesting that the interconnections between economies, and policies/shocks at the regional and global level, tend to be more important than country-level factors (ii) regional integration, particularly when the agreement goes beyond trade in goods, is positively related to the share of the regional factor, and inversely related to the importance of the global factor. Furthermore, the regional factor is more important in the case of economically large trade blocks. Overall, our analysis illustrates the usefulness of applying a BDFM model to study the co-movements of international trade series.","PeriodicalId":14394,"journal":{"name":"International Political Economy: Trade Policy eJournal","volume":"103 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82799658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
