instance, the Chinese trade elasticity is 6:9, and this happens because in China, large and open sectors are relatively more elastic than in the US. The same is true of Chile, Turkey, or In recent years there has been debate over whether the global trade slowdown and related fall in trade-to-income elasticity was structural or cyclical. This column estimates the standard import equation for 38 advanced and developing economies using an import intensity-adjusted measure of aggregate demand. Thus, a trade elasticity of 5 implies optimal tariffs of 20 % around the world. In turn, it takes import tariffs to be as high as 50 % to get back to the welfare levels observed under free trade. This range gets even larger once we move from a one-sector to a multi-sector model. trade balance. But given China’s recent experience, it is dangerous to expect that even these new elasticity estimates will be stable over the medium term. Not only has the structure of trade changed rapidly in China, it is also likely that trade composition itself will be affected by the changes in the exchange rate. II. and the trade balance. However, given China’s recent experience, it is dangerous to expect that even these new elasticity estimates will be stable over the medium term. The structure of trade has changed rapidly in China, and it is also likely that trade composition itself will be affected by changes in the exchange rate. on the domestic price index - i.e the trade elasticity is low. The Chinese trade elasticity is 6:60, the lowest in the sample. This happens because in China, large and open sectors are relatively more elastic than in the US. The same is true, albeit to a smaller extent, of Japan, Korea, and Canada. India, whose elasticity is 6:13,

instance, the Chinese trade elasticity is −6.9, and this happens because in China, large and open sectors are relatively more elastic than in the US. The same is Cheung, Chinn, and Qian (2012), using data over the 1994Q3-2010Q4 period, reported exchange rate elasticities for China's manufacturing exports of between -
Gehlhar found that structural changes in the Asia Pacific economies over time would be best replicated if the trade elasticities are doubled. Full details of the GTAP
WORLD TRADE ELASTICITIES . The import demand elasticities presented below are described in detail in Broda and Weinstein (2006). We report 3-digit elasticities for 73 countries in the world (see list below). We used 6-digit HS import data (1992 classification system) from the COMTRADE database from 1994 - 2003 to estimate these elasticities. instance, the Chinese trade elasticity is 6:9, and this happens because in China, large and open sectors are relatively more elastic than in the US. The same is true of Chile, Turkey, or

elasticity. Long-run elasticity is assumed to be common across countries in PMG and country-specific in MG. Results indicate that exports and imports depend on income growth, with long-run income elasticity higher than unity for China, Japan, Germany, the UK and the USA. Conversely, trade
