Rules of Origin as export subsidies †
Rules of Origin as export subsidies †
This chapter estimates the effect of NAFTA’s rules of origin (ROO) on Mexican access to the US market, treating ROO as politically-determined. Econometric estimates of bilateral disaggrated trade, with tariff preference and endogenous ROO as determinants, suggest that the creation of a captive market for upstream US intermediate-good producers is indeed one of the political determinants of NAFTA.
Keywords: rules of origin, endogenous protection, political economy, free trade agreements, regionalism
