Abstract

Cette thèse de doctorat contribue au débat sur les normes en tant qu’obstacles ou catalyseurs du commerce et fournit des preuves de l'impact des normes sur la capacité des pays en développement à gagner et maintenir l'accès aux marchés des pays développés pour les produits alimentaires. En raison de la nature complexe et très hétérogène des mesures non-tariffaires, différentes méthodologies ont été développées. L'analyse présentée dans cette thèse adopte une approche directe de la mesure de l’impact des standards alimentaires à l'aide de deux bases de données uniques. En démêlant le classement par la productivité du classement par la qualité dans l’étude des déterminants des exportations horticoles, le premier article étudie l'impact des normes de sécurité alimentaire et de la préférence pour la qualité des consommateurs sur capacité d'exporter des produits agricoles de hautes valeurs ou différenciés (HCA). En utilisant une version étendue de la base de données précédente, le deuxième document montre que la réputation est un facteur important de l'application des mesures sanitaires et phytosanitaires (SPS). Le troisième document analyse les tenants et les aboutissants de la réglementation phytosanitaire américaine. L'analyse empirique montre que le cadre réglementaire de la réglementation phytosanitaire est capturé par des groupes d'intérêt. En outre, contrôlant pour d’autres facteurs, l'analyse montre que les pays à revenus intermédiaires inférieurs et les pays à faibles revenus sont respectivement moins susceptibles d'avoir accès à marché intérieur américain et moins susceptibles de tirer parti des lignes commerciales ouvertes.
