This paper reviews a bulk of the empirical studies on import demand estimates for Japan which findings are mixed and inconclusive. This review article contributes to the literature in at least two ways: 1. provide a detailed review on the papers which have studied the import demand behavior for Japan, and 2. discuss the issues of import demand framework with reference to Japan, in particular, the determinants of demand for imports. This is a survey paper, which reviews the studies that investigated Japan's import demand behavior in aggregate levels, particularly. This paper concludes that the results of Japan's import demand depend on the model specification and the estimation technique. This paper also reviews the issues, which are related to the candidate determinants of aggregate imp...

EPA and NHTSA, on behalf of the Department of Transportation, are issuing this joint proposal to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy for light-duty vehicles for model years 2017-2025. This proposal extends the National Program beyond the greenhouse gas and corporate average fuel economy standards set for model years 2012-2016. On May 21, 2010, President Obama issued a Presidential Memorandum requesting that NHTSA and EPA develop through notice and comment rulemaking a coordinated National Program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of light-duty vehicles for model years 2017- 2025. This proposal, consistent with the President's request, responds to the country's critical need to address global climate change and to reduce oil consumption. NHTSA is proposing C...

Several studies in the literature have tried to assess the impact of real depreciation of the Canadian dollar on the Canadian trade balance. They have either relied on the trade data between Canada and the rest of the world or between Canada and her major trading partners. In this paper we consider the trade between Canada and her major trading partner, the U.S. However, unlike previous research, we disaggregate the trade data between the two countries by commodity. We use export and import data over the period 1962-2004 from 152 commodities and the bounds testing approach to cointegration and error-correction modeling and show that real depreciation of the Canadian dollar has short-run effects on the trade balance of two-thirds of the industries. However, only in 50% of the industries,...

We compare samples of textiles and garments producers across groups of countries to find that, in general, productivity is far lower in Sub-Saharan Africa than it is in India. Indian manufacturers in turn are significantly less productive than their counterparts in Morocco, while producers in some SSA countries do match or exceed the Indian standard. The paper assesses the importance of geography as a possible factor in these gaps compared to such possible causes as trade policy and the quality of public institutions. It turns out that both institutions and trade policy are strong influences on country productivity averages. However, geography is also as powerful an influence in as far as it affects access to export markets and to input supplies.

Does the experience vary across countries and, if so, why? A vast literature deals with these issues, including a number of comprehensive surveys from which this paper draws, and where the interested reader is advised to go for more details.1 For the purposes of this article, I will review the evidence so far on the four main ways in which trade is linked with inequality and poverty (economic growth, family income, the labor market, and fiscal effects) and attempt to draw some lessons for policy. A study for India found that trade liberalization has indeed increased labor demand elasticity and has done so more in states with more labor market flexibility. 12 A study in Mexico found that tariff declines were associated with increased income uncertainty.13 A more uncertain product demand...
