An Integrated Tariff Analysis System: Software and Database

Commission, Productivity, "An Integrated Tariff Analysis System: Software and Database" (November 2004). Productivity Commission Staff Working Paper. Available at SSRN:

Abstract:

Productivity Commission staff working paper, An Integrated Tariff Analysis System (ITAS), was released in November 2005. This paper was developed by Commission staff to assist researchers in analysing proposals to reduce tariffs in non-agricultural markets. ITAS incorporates a framework to address data limitations that otherwise pose serious obstacles to analysing possible tariff reduction scenarios.

This paper provides an overview of the structure of ITAS by: describing the raw data on tariffs and explaining how these data are converted into a form suitable for multi-country analysis of tariffs; outlining several formulas and explaining how they are used to calculate final tariff rates from initial rates; describing the resulting tariff data created by ITAS and the data summaries available; and outlining some ways in which ITAS could be extended.

The views expressed in this paper are those of the staff involved and do not necessarily reflect the those of the Productivity Commission.
