我调查的福利影响，贸易自由化利用自然政策实验在塞浦路斯经济。1993年的一项法律放宽了对二手车的进口限制，允许日本二手车进口到该国。这导致了消费者购买从新车到二手汽车的巨大转变，以及整个市场的大幅扩张。从结构性需求系统计算的福利收益在政策改变后的四年期间内平均为每个购买者每年2000美元。研究结果表明，旧商品贸易自由化有可能带来巨大收益。
I investigate the welfare effects of trade liberalization by exploiting a natural policy experiment in the economy of Cyprus. A 1993 law relaxed import restrictions on used vehicles and enabled the importation of second-hand Japanese automobiles into the country. This led to a dramatic shift of consumer purchases from new to used cars and a substantial expansion of the overall market. Welfare gains computed from a structural demand system average $2000 per purchaser per year over a four-year period after the policy change. The findings are suggestive of the potential for substantial gains from liberalizing trade in used goods.
