Abstract: | In this study, we determined the effect of total compliance costs on the current value of imports for 9 West African countries. As a result, we managed to measure the estimated change in value of import after administrative reform and more importantly the total efficiency gained due to administrative reform using partial equilibrium framework and price elasticity of demand equation.
It showed that countries that have higher total compliance cost, take longer to import and have a more price elastic demand to import such as Cameroon and Nigeria, would benefit more from administrative reform.
Next, we calculated the total efficiency gained on their current value of GDP. We understood that total efficiency gained on the value of GDP is about 1% of most of these countries. And the total efficiency gained on their value of import is between 2%-5%. Lastly we measure the total value of efficiency gained as a percentage of Development AID received. ÖZ:
Bu çalışmada, toplam uyum maliyeti etkisi ithalat 8 Batı Afrika ülkeleri için geçerli değerini belirler. Sonuç olarak, idari reform ve daha da önemlisi toplam verimliliği nedeniyle idari reform kısmi denge çerçeve ve fiyat talep esnekliğini kullanarak kazandı sonra ithalat değeri tahmini değişikliğini ölçmek başardık. Daha yüksek toplam uyumlu ülkelerin mal ve almak için uzun zaman alır ve Kamerun ve Nijerya, yarar öyle aynı derecede daha idari reform da daha fazla fiyat elastik olduğunu gösterdi. Daha sonra geçerli GSYİH değerlerine kazandı toplam verimliliği hesaplanır. Biz toplam verimliliği GSYİH değerini elde bu ülkelerin çoğunda yaklaşık % 1 anlaşılmaktadır. Ve onların değerini alma kazandı toplam verimliliği % % 2-5 arasında. Son olarak verimlilik geliştirme alınan yardım yüzdesi olarak kazanılan toplam değerini ölçmek. |
