The revised regulations would help us more effectively promote species conservation, help us continue to fulfill our responsibilities under the Treaty, and help those affected by CITE...

- South Africa's Manufactured International Trade in the Post-Sanctions Epoch: Patterns and Potentials
We identify those sectors of the South African economy in which the country exhibits a comparative advantage. This is accomplished through the development of an index of Regional Revealed Comparative Advantage, based in the work of Richardson and Zhang (2001). South Africa's comparative advantage is associated with products servicing producers and high in capital intensity.

An important contribution of this paper is a demonstration of a high degree of compatibility of projected shifts in competitiveness patterns developed utilizing (solely...

This study provides new evidence regarding the effects of patent protection on international trade in developing countries also known as "emerging market economies ". It employs a gravity model of bilateral trade flows and estimates the effects of increased protection on a cross-section of 69x68 countries. It improves on previous studies in two respects. First, we estimate the gravity model for two different kinds of aggregates: total non-fuel trade and high technology trade. Second, it addresses the problem of zero trade flows between countries by adopting a bivariate distributed probit regression model. Third, to measure the strength of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) regimes, we make use of a fine tuned index on national IPRs systems developed by Park and Ginarte (1996). Our resu...
