| Tiivistelmä: | Two hypotheses are tested regarding the impact of the USA Multifiber arrangement (MFA) restrictions on developing countries' exports of textiles and clothing to the United States; that the MFA is a binding constraint on the exporters; that the MFA encourages the growth of smaller exporters, by restricting exports from major sellers. Pooled data on eight small Asian exporters over the period 1975-1984 are used. Results strongly support the hypothesis that the MFA has been a binding constraint. Although the MFA appears to have diverted demand toward these smaller sellers, this effect is counteracted by slow growth in their own restraints. |
