从集装箱的采用到协调的贸易自由化，贸易成本的降低推动了现代全球化。在本文中，我们分析了区块链的应用，以降低生产和协调沿着供应链的可信信息的交易成本。消费者、生产者和政府越来越多地要求获得有关贸易商品的质量、特征和来源的信息。部分由于错误和欺诈的风险，在分散的各方之间产生和维护这些信息的成本很高。最近的努力试图通过应用新技术来克服这些成本，如无纸贸易单据。我们的重点是区块链技术如何通过管理商品移动时的分散动态信息分类账，为供应链形成一个新的分散经济基础设施。在研究政策之前，我们概述了区块链供应链的潜在经济后果。有效采用面临一系列政策挑战，包括监管承认和跨司法管辖区的互操作性。我们建议在亚太地区建立一个高级别政策论坛，以协调开放标准和监管兼容性等问题。
From the adoption of the shipping container to coordinated trade liberalization, reductions in trade costs have propelled modern globalization. In this paper, we analyse the application of blockchain to reduce the trade costs of producing and coordinating trusted information along supply chains. Consumers, producers, and governments increasingly demand information about the quality, characteristics, and provenance of traded goods. Partially due to the risks of error and fraud, this information is costly to produce and to maintain between dispersed parties. Recent efforts have sought to overcome these costs-such as paperless trade agendas-through the application of new technologies. Our focus is on how blockchain technology can form a new decentralized economic infrastructure for supply chains by governing decentralized dynamic ledgers of information about goods as they move. We outline the potential economic consequences of blockchain supply chains before examining policy. Effective adoption faces a range of policy challenges including regulatory recognition and interoperability across jurisdictions. We propose a high-level policy forum in the Asia-Pacific region to coordinate issues such as open standards and regulatory compatibility.
