Abstract

Special treatment for import sensitive products is a feature of all U.S. free trade agreements (FTAs). This paper conducts an empirica1 investigation of the determination of tariff-cut staging categories that emerged from negotiations to establish the North American Free Trade Agreement. Staging categories are explained in terms of product characteristics that influence an industry’ s desire and ability to exploit politica1 outcomes associated with FTA negotiations. Products facing prospects for reduced protection under an agreement that would liberalize ali trade, and those with high pre-agreement tariffs and nontariff barriers are significantly more likely to enjoy prolonged tariff phase-out periods.
