Bringing the Copenhagen global climate change negotiations to conclusion

Whalley, John; Walsh, Sean - 2008

In this paper we discuss the global negotiations now underway and aimed at achieving new climate change mitigation and other arrangements after 2012 (the end of the Kyoto commitment period). These were initiated in Bali in December 2007 and are scheduled to conclude by the end of 2009 in...

BRICSAM and the non-WTO

Antkiewicz, Agata; Whalley, John - 2005

We discuss recent regional trade and economic partnership agreements involving the large population rapidly growing economies (Brazil, Russia, China, India, South Africa, ASEAN, Mexico) who (with the exception of Mexico) are also outside of the OECD. Perhaps 50 out of 300 that exist worldwide...

Trade retaliation in a monetary-trade model

Whalley, John; Yu, Jun; Zhang, Shunming - 2009

. We calibrate such a model to China's trade with the rest of the world and explore two country tariff games using 2005 …

On the arbitrariness of consumption

Whalley, John; Zhang, Shunming - 2009

We discuss a simple model of choices of joint consumption by a working couple who place maintenance of their marriage (relationship) above all else. Any proposal made by one partner seeking to provide maximal utility to the other so as to preserve the marriage, in the case where preferences of...

Trade liberalization in a joint spatial inter-temporal trade model

Huang, Hui; Whalley, John; Zhang, Shunming - 2005

) existence can also be an issue. Here we use numerical simulation methods. We first consider world with service trade autarky in … removing period by period budget constraints for domestic consumers. In such a world, if nonzero tariffs apply to spatial trade … ongoing tariff negotiations. We then expand the model to capture a more complex world where costly intermediation services can …

Trade model with an optimal exchange rate motivated by current discussion of a Chinese Renminbi float

Huang, Hui; Wang, Yi; Wang, Yiming; Whalley, John; … - 2005

We combine a model of combined inter-spatial and inter-temporal trade between countries recently – used by Huang, Whalley and Zhang (2004) to analyze the merits of trade liberalization in services when goods trade is restricted – with a model of foreign exchange rationing due to Clarete and...

Pitfalls in the use of ad valorem equivalent representations of the trade impacts of domestic policies

Whalley, John - 2005

Numerical simulation exercises to analyze the impacts of potential changes in non-tariff policies commonly use ad valorem equivalent tariff treatment even though estimated impacts using explicit model representation and ad valorem equivalent treatments will differ. The difficulty for modellers...
