In this paper, we develop the additional compliance requirement indicator (ACRI) to quantify the extra regulatory requirements that an exporter may face when serving the foreign country's market. The higher the value of ACRI, the greater the difference between the sets of technical measures in the destination and origin countries. Employing the ACRI, we estimate the impact on trade of regulatory burdens via product-level bilateral gravity equations. We find a significant negative impact of regulatory burdens on bilateral trade for a full sample, but the estimated trade effects vary across sectors and depend on the development levels of the trading countries.

监管负担对国际贸易的影响

在本文中，我们开发了额外的合规要求指标（ACRI），以量化出口商在服务国外市场时可能面临的额外监管要求。ACRI的值越高，目的国和来源国的一系列技术措施之间的差异就越大。使用ACRI，我们通过产品级双边重力方程估算对监管负担贸易的影响。完整样本我们发现监管负担对双边贸易产生了重大负面影响，但估计的贸易影响因行业而异，并取决于贸易国家的发展水平。
