MEASURING NON-TARIFF BARRIERS TO DIFFERENTIATED IMPORT PRODUCTS
"Trade policy analysts frequently use the price-gap method to measure non-tariff barriers (NTB). A very recent example is the tariffication of NTBs following the Uruguay Round. This paper discusses the limitations of applying the price-gap method to differentiated products and introduces a modified price-gap method. This modified price-gap method is a less frequently used generalization of the original one. Using the modified price-gap method to estimate the tariff equivalent of the Canadian cheese import quotas produces a substantially lower estimate than does the original method".
