Abstract: | Trade barriers, though generally considered welfare- reducing. are globally ubiquitous. In light of the enormous clash between what is and what ought to be, researchers have begun addressing the question of why countries so constantly pursue such apparently counterproductive policies. Early formalization emphasizes the divergence between private and social interests in the formulation of trade policies. Empirical work applied a rational cost-benefit approach to political organizing and identified characteristics, such as the degree of industry concentration, trade dependence and so on. |
