作者在本文中指出，增加贸易环境的透明度可以是对传统的关税和非关税壁垒自由化的重要补充。我们对透明度的定义基于交易成本分析。作者关注透明度的两个方面：可预测性（降低不确定性成本）和简化（降低信息成本）。作者以亚太经合组织（APEC）成员经济体为案例研究，从广泛的来源构建了该地区的进口商和出口商透明度指数。我们的引力模型结果表明，提高APEC贸易相关透明度可以通过将APEC内部贸易额提高1480亿美元或该地区基线贸易额的7.5%来获得显着利益。
The authors show in this paper that increasing the transparency of the trading environment can be an important complement to traditional liberalization of tariff and non-tariff barriers. Our definition of transparency is grounded in a transaction cost analysis. The authors focus on two dimensions of transparency: predictability (reducing the cost of uncertainty) and simplification (reducing information costs). Using the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) member economies as a case study, the authors construct indices of importer and exporter transparency for the region from a wide range of sources. Our results from a gravity model suggest that improving trade-related transparency in APEC could hold significant benefits by raising intra-APEC trade by proximately USD 148 billion or 7.5 pecent of baseline trade in the region.
