摘要

贸易政策在促进帝国内部贸易中的作用是什么?我们在两次世界大战之间印度的背景下讨论这个问题，印度的贸易政策被指责损害了英国的出口利益。我们量化了贸易政策对印度进口价值和构成的影响，使用了来自42个国家的114个商品类别的贸易政策和进口的新分类数据。我们发现，尽管印度的保护主义降低了进口总额，但它大大提高了从英国的进口。尽管英国出口商面临着不断上升的关税壁垒，但从其他国家转移的贸易确保了印度的贸易政策总体上对他们有利。

Deliberate Surrender? the Impact of Interwar Indian Protection

Abstract What is the role of trade policy in promoting intra-Empire trade? We address the question in the context of interwar India, whose trade policies have been accused of harming British export interests. We quantify the impact of trade policy on the value and composition of Indian imports, using novel disaggregated data on both trade policies and imports for 114 commodity categories coming from 42 countries. We find that even though Indian protection lowered total imports, it substantially boosted imports from the UK. Despite the rising tariff barriers facing British exporters, trade diversion from other countries ensured that Indian trade policy benefited them overall.
