- 研究成果概要
- The research utilized the non-tariff measures (NTMs) data compiled by United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), which has become available recently to researchers. The aim of the research is to assess the differences in the NTMs among countries and how this may impact international trade and regional integration efforts. In terms of comparing various NTMs applied in different countries, we took the automotive industry as an illustrative industry. The automotive industry is an important industry for the Japanese economy, especially in terms of exports. The result suggests that compared to other goods, automotive goods exported from Japan tend to face more regulatory burdens around the world and in East Asia. In addition to examining NTMs at the industry level, we also looked at the potential costs associated with regional integration efforts currently ongoing in East Asian region: ASEAN economic community (AEC), Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), and Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). The main question we explored is to calculate the degree of difficulties in achieving regulatory harmonization in various regional integration efforts, given the current regulatory regimes in member countries, then identify the base country where the potential cost of adjustment is the lowest.
