Their estimates include calculations of the economic benefits, trade changes, employment effects, and exchange-rate effects of alternative tariff-cutting proposals under consideration in the negotiations. They present similar estimates for the effects of lowering nontariff barriers to agricultural trade and barriers to trade affecting government procurement, and estimate the impact that liberalization in the Tokyo Round could have on the exports of the developing countries. The results provide a basis for assessing the economic effect of future trade liberalization generally and thus constitute a guid to the effects to be expected under specific alternative outcomes of the Tokyo Round itself in view of the negotiating positions of the principal parties. The estimates suggest that much is to be gained and little lost from thoroughgoing liberalization: the economic benefits of lower prices, investment stimulus, and greater economies of scale are likely to be substantial, whereas the labor adjustment costs and trade balance disruptions are likely to be slight. - - - Erstausgabe, EA 1.
