Abstract: | Border procedures around the globe can act as barriers hindering international trade.
Another impact of these procedures relates to their economic resource costs. In this
thesis, using a microeconomic framework of international trade, the potential
economic gains are estimated for reductions in trade administration costs related to
trade in the three Latin American trade blocs as well as for the increase in import and
export trades that are stimulated as a consequence of the reduction in trade
administration costs. Excess economic cost of the current trade administration
procedures is measured in the studied blocs with respect to two benchmark levels of
trade administration costs, namely those for Chile and Singapore. International trade
policy history and trade facilitation journey of the regions are reported. Our results
suggest that improving the trade administration cost levels to match those of the
reference countries will enable CAN, CARICOM and MERCOSUR to enjoy
substantial economic resource savings, corresponding to a significant amount of their
gross domestic product. Given the current trade environment of the studied nations,
relevant policy and reform options are suggested. The key policy recommendation is
to improve the electronic single window system for trade administration and in
particular, the interconnectivity of information flows between the member countries
of the blocs. Maintaining the port infrastructure is also critical for the delivery of
efficient services for the movement of goods. ÖZ:
Dünya genelinde sınır işlemleri, uluslararası ticareti zorlayan engeller olarak işlev
görebilir. Bu işlemlerin bir başka etkisi ise ekonomik kaynak maliyetlerine ilişkindir.
Bu tezde, uluslararası ticaretin mikroekonomik bir taslağını kullanarak, üç Latin
Amerika ticaret bloğundaki ticaret ile ilgili maliyetlerindeki azalmalar ve ticaret
idaresi maliyetlerindeki azalmaların sonucu olarak artan ithalat ve ihracat ticaretleri ve
potansiyel ekonomik kazançlar hesap edilmektedir. Şu anki ticaret idaresi
prosedürlerinin fazla ekonomik maliyeti, ticaret idaresi maliyetlerinin iki referans
düzeyi olan Şili ve Singapur'a göre ölçülmektedir. Uluslararası ticaret politikası tarihi
ve bölgelerin ticareti kolaylaştırma yolculuğu tezde yer bulmaktadır. Sonuçlarımız,
ticaret idaresi maliyet seviyelerini referans ülkelerle eşleştirmenin, CAN, CARICOM
ve MERCOSUR'un gayri safi yurt içi hasılaya oranlı önemli ekonomik kaynak
tasarrufları sağlayacağını göstermektedir. İncelenen ülkelerin mevcut ticaret ortamı
göz önüne alındığında, ilgili politika ve reform seçenekleri önerilmektedir. Ana
politika önerisi, ticaret idaresi için elektronik tek pencere sistemi ve özellikle, blok üye
ülkeleri arasındaki bilgi akışlarının bağlantısını geliştirmektir. Liman altyapısını
geliştirkmek de, malların hareketi için etkili hizmetler sunma açısından kritik öneme
sahiptir |
