Second, the reduction of ATIGA tariffs tends to introduce price control measures in particular. Third, when ATIGA tariffs decrease, the pre-shipment inspection, nonautomatic licensing, and finance measures are more likely to be eliminated for products in which Vietnam has high export competitiveness. Fourth, both ATIGA tariffs and ASEAN+1 free trade agreement tariffs have significant effects on the introduction of NTMs in Vietnam.

Consistent with evidence during the trade war, tariff pass-through is also complete for tariff reductions induced by the WTO accession.

In order to do so, we employ Indonesian manufacturing surveys from 2002 to 2010 and compute the share of imported inputs among total inputs at the firm-product level. With this dataset, we examine the effect of preferential tariffs for ASEAN countries—that is, ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) tariffs. Our findings can be summarized as follows: First, we found that a reduction in AFTA tariffs in Indonesia encouraged plants to raise their share of foreign inputs. Second, such an effect of AFTA tariffs was observed only for indigenous plants, or those whose primary sales market is the domestic market. Third, we found that the more productive plants experienced a greater impact of AFTA tariffs on foreign inputs.

New evidence of tariff-driven FDI reveals that the tariff decrease shocks (<i>TDS</i>) (significant tariff decreases) lower the number of existing subsidiaries rather than the average FDI volume for the existing subsidiaries. In addition, more productive firms investing in developing countries lower the number of existing subsidiaries to a greater extent in response to <i>TDS</i>, implying that productive MNEs reallocate resources into selective core subsidiaries when a significant tariff decrease occurs.</p>","PeriodicalId":46525,"journal":{"name":"Developing Economies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80333520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To investigate this hypothesis, we examine how US tariffs on goods from China affect Taiwan's exports to the US. More directly, we also explore how China's exports to the US change Taiwanese exports to the US. On the import side, decline of China's export to the US may boost Taiwan's export while increasing its demand on Chinese intermediate inputs.
