The German Economy and EU Industrial Tariff Reductions: Partial and CGE Analyses of a Stillborn Millennium Round
Joseph F. Francois, Hans H. Glismann and Dean Spinanger
Abstract: The Millennium Round of MTNs, which was stillborn in
Seattle, was supposed to have initiated wide-sweeping changes to the
world's trading system. This paper deals with the impact on the German
economy of some changes that might have been forthcoming from proposed
liberalization strategies. It examines sectoral and global strategies with
partial and general equilibrium methods. It underlines the advantages of
more global strategies, but not only because the gains are significantly
larger. The paper concludes that Germany in its own interests should throw
its weight in the EU behind wide-sweeping liberalization and that
developing countries stand to gain more from global liberalization.
