Impactos da facilitação de comércio sobre as exportações mundiais de produtos manufaturados

Abstract

This paper investigates if there are effects of reducing trade’s bureaucratization on worldwide and bilateral exports of manufactured products. This analysis considered its period as the year following the creation of the Trade Facilitation Agreement in 2013, until its implementation in 2017. For this purpose, this study used some descriptive statistics and

realized an econometric analysis with the gravitational model and the Poisson Pseudo- Maximum Likelihood method. Two trade facilitation indicators were used in this work: the first

is called border compliance and the second is documentary compliance. The results suggests, for this last indicator, what was expected: the shorter the time spent on documents, the greater the volume of manufactured goods exported in that bilateral relationship. Besides, it was observed that the impact of trade facilitation resulted in a higher export volume of manufactured goods to emerging countries. In general, the importance of continuous studies and monitoring trade facilitation is highlighted, so that international transactions take place in an efficient and harmonized manner.
