This paper explores the link between trade liberalization and firms’ performance in Egypt combining macro and micro data. Using the Economic Census of Egypt 2013, we examine the association between tariffs and non-tariffs measures (NTM) imposed on intermediate input sand total factor productivity (TFP). In a first step TFP is estimated as the residual of a Cobb-Douglas/Translog production function and in thesecond, TFP is regressed on weighted tariffs and NTM imposed on intermediate inputs. Egyptian input-output tables are used to construct the weights. Our main findings show a positive and significant association between imported inputs and value-added and a significantly negative relationship between tariffs and TFP.

贸易政策和投入自由化:对埃及企业生产力的影响

本文结合宏观和微观数据探讨了埃及贸易自由化与企业绩效之间的联系。使用埃及 2013 年经济普查,我们研究了关税与对中间投入品和全要素生产率 (TFP) 征收的非关税措施 (NTM) 之间的关联。在第一步中,TFP 被估计为 Cobb-Douglas/Translog 生产函数的残差,在第二步中,TFP 根据加权关税和对中间投入强加的 NTM 进行回归。埃及投入产出表用于构建权重。我们的主要发现表明,进口投入与附加值之间存在显着的正相关关系,而关税与 TFP 之间存在显着的负相关关系。
