Evaluating the combined effects of inspections and technical assistance on international trade
We investigate the effects of import inspections and technical assistance on international trade through a dynamic analysis of the timing and impact of importer and exporter efforts to address information asymmetries and biosecurity risks. We employ the Multiple Indicator Solution with panel data of technical assistance, inspections and exports for 30 countries. Results show that both inspections and technical assistance have a positive and significant impact on trade volume, while minimizing biosecurity risks in trade, thereby aligning with goals of the World Trade Organization. The impact of technical assistance on exports depends on the type of assistance and country characteristics.
