Sectoral Descriptions and Hierarchical Disaggregation for Trade Outcome 39 Indicators 2 Introduction The Worldwide Trade Indicators (WTI) database contains about 300 trade-related policy and outcome indicators for 210 countries. It is organized around five thematic categories, namely (i) Trade Policy, (ii) External Environment, (iii) Institutional Environment, (iv) Trade Facilitation and (v) Trade Outcome. Each category contains a main (default) indicator and other additional indicators. Whenever the data are available, the database contains annual data for 1995-2007. A latest year category is also included to capture either the 2007 data, or the 2006 data, if the 2007 is not available. Indicators for specific countries can be accessed either individually or in relation to pre- defined country groupings to which individual countries belong. Such groupings are offered in terms of Region or Income level, according to the standard World Bank definition, or Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs) for merchandise trade, according to the WTO definition. In the publication and in the country Trade-At-A-Glance (TAAG) tables, simple averages of the indicators for the periods 1995-99, 2000-04, 2005-06, and latest year are presented. Online users will be able to generate such averages for any customized periods and country groupings. World Bank sources of data include: 1. Development Economics Research Group (DECRG) 2. Development Economics Data Group (DECDG): responsible for the World Development Indicators (WDI) Database and the Development Data Platform (DDP). 3. Development Economics Prospects Group (DECPG): responsible for forecasts as reported in the Global Economic Prospects publication and website. 3 1. Trade Policy Trade (MFN)1 Tariff Restrictiveness Index (TTRI) Definition This index summarizes the impact of each country's non- discriminatory trade policies on its aggregate imports. It is the uniform equivalent tariff that would maintain the country's aggregate import volume at its current level (given heterogeneous tariffs). It captures the trade distortions that each country's MFN tariffs impose on its import bundle using estimated elasticities to calculate the impact of a tariff schedule on a country's imports. These measures are based on actual or current trade patterns and thus do not capture restrictions facing new or potential trade. They also do not take into account domestic subsidies or export taxes. Expressed as a tariff rate. This index is also reported disaggregated for agricultural goods and non-agricultural goods. Available Years 2001, 2005, and 2006 Source Calculated by World Bank research unit DECRG using UNCTAD TRAINS and COMTRADE through WITS. See paper by Kee, Nicita, Olarreaga (2008). The latest available TRIs were published in May 2008 but were calculated in December­November 2007 and were based mostly on 2006 tariff information and 2005 trade flows (for TRIs, see http://go.worldbank.org/C5VQJIV3H0).

MFN-0 Import Value (% of total imports) Definition This indicator is the percentage of total imports that are subject to MFN zero duty rates in a country's HS 6-digit tariff schedule by value. This indicator is also disaggregated for agricultural goods and non- agricultural goods. If an HS 6-digit tariff line has both non-duty free rates and duty free rates at the 8-digit level, then all imports in that 6-digit line were treated as non-duty free. Available Years 1995-2006 Source Until 2004 UNCTAD TRAINS and UN COMTRADE database through WITS; for a number of countries, WITS uses mirror data from COMTRADE for estimating MFN-0 imports/exports. From 2005 to 2006 we used ITC database. ITC linked tariffs and trade at the tariff line level when data were available for the same year. Trade comes from ITC database. But when trade data were not available at 7 the tariff lines level ITC also used COMTRADE data. Share of Tariff Lines with MFN-0 (%) Definition This indicator reflects the total share of lines in the country's tariff schedule that are duty free. Expressed as a percentage of total lines.

Tariff Overhang (%) Definition This indicator reflects the percentage difference (overhang) between the average bound rate and the average MFN applied rate at the HS 6- digit tariff line level in a country's customs schedule. It is equivalent to subtracting the average of all MFN applied rates from the average of all bound rates for each country. Overhang can be negative as a result of: 1) It is final bound minus the current tariff (which may or may not be below the bound which has yet to be implemented) or 2) Both are simple averages and, after averaging, the averaged bound could fall below the averaged tariff as some tariffs may or may not have a bound. This indicator is also disaggregated for agricultural goods and non- agricultural goods. Available Years 1995-2007 Source As calculated by the World Bank Institute WTI 2008 team. UNCTAD TRAINS database through WITS until 2004, then ITC database (2005-07). Non-tariff Measure Frequency Ratio (%) Definition This indicator reflects the degree of non-tariff measures in a country's tariff lines. It is calculated by taking the simple average of the percentage of tariff lines (at the HS 6-digit level) affected by at least one non-tariff measure. The non-tariff measures cover only those NTMs which include various price control measures, variable charges, anti-dumping and countervailing actions, quantitative restrictions, non-automatic licensing, or other prohibitions. NTMs include non-protectionist measures such as technical barriers to trade (TBT) and sanitary and phytosanitary standards (SPS) that though they may also raise the restrictiveness of trade policy may have legitimate consumer-protection or public health rationales.

WTO Dispute Ruling (as defendant) Definition This indicator reflects the number of dispute rulings in which a member economy served as a defendant at the time the data was collected. Available Years 2005-2007 Source WTO Trade Profiles WTO Notifications Outstanding Definition This indicator reflects the number of a member economy's outstanding WTO notifications at the time the data was collected. 10 This number covers all the cases where no information has been received by WTO's Central Registry of Notifications. According to the WTO, Members are required to notify their trade measures (e.g. anti-dumping, safeguards and subsidies, and countervailing measures) to the relevant WTO body, especially if those measures might affect other members. This figure is based on the information made available to relevant WTO committees by member economies. Available Years 2005-2007 Source WTO Trade Profiles WTO Anti-dumping Cases (number of measures in force) Definition WTO rules allows duties to be imposed on goods that are deemed to be dumped and causing injury to producers of competing products in the importing country. These duties are equal to the difference between the goods' export price and their normal value. Specifically, this indicator reflects the number of antidumping measures imposed by a WTO importing member economy against another country's exports at the time the data was collected. The figure is based on the information made available to relevant WTO committees by member economies. Available Years 2005-2006 Source WTO Trade Profiles WTO Countervailing Duties (number of measures in force) Definition This indicator reflects the number of countervailing duty measures imposed by a WTO importing member economy, usually in the form of increased duties, to offset subsidies given to producers or exporters in the exporting country. This indicator reflects measures that were in force at the time the data was collected. The figure is based on the information made available to relevant WTO committees by member economies. Available Years 2005-2006 Source WTO Trade Profiles WTO Safeguards (number of measures in force) Definition This indicator reflects the number of safeguard measures imposed by a WTO member, usually in the form of temporary restriction of imports of a specific product. Members impose this restriction in order to protect a specific domestic industry from an increase in imports which can cause injury to that industry. This indicator reflects measures that were in force at the time the data was collected. The figure is based on the information made available to relevant WTO committees by member economies. There is no obligation on WTO members to notify the expiry or termination of safeguard measures. Available Years 2005-2006 11 Source WTO Trade Profiles GATS Commitments Index (0-100, most liberal) Definition This indicator measures the extent of GATS commitments for all 155 services sub-sectors as classified by the GATS and in the four modes of the GATS. Each entry in the country's schedule is assigned scores based on its relative restrictiveness, using a criteria set out by Bernard Hoekman's methodology*. That resulted in 1,240 scores, ranging from 0 (unbound or no commitments) to 100 (completely liberalized), with an intermediate value of 50 for partial commitments. A simple average of the sub- sectoral scores were used to generate aggregate sectoral scores (for the 12 main services sectors as classified by the GATS), modes scores, and market access and national treatment scores. The overall GATS commitment index is a simple average of the sectoral indices. Disaggregated indices are available for Market Access and National Treatment and for twelve subsectors: business services, communication services, construction and engineering services, distribution services, educational services, environmental services, financial services, health services, tourism services, recreational and cultural services, transport services, and other services.

USITC Banking GATS Commitment Index (0-100, most liberal) Definition In this sector specific index developed by the U.S. International Trade Commission, each country is assigned scores based on the extent of liberalization in a country's commitments under the GATS. Relative restrictiveness in market access and national treatment were determined using criteria defined by the OECD (TD/TC/WP(99)58/Final); possible scores assigned are {0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1} where 0 indicates unbound or no commitment and 100 indicates fully liberalized under the GATS. The scores were added then divided by the theoretical score assuming market access and national treatment were unbound. Available Years 1999, 2005, 2007 for overall score. 2007 for each subcategory.

Each sub- indicator is evaluated separately and assigned a percentage from 0 to 100 (with the higher value representing greater foreign competition in the market) reflecting the percent of allowed foreign participation/ownership in the country's telecom sector. The overall score reported is a simple average of the eight subcategories. Available Years 2004-2007 Source International Telecommunications Union ITU Competition in Telecommunications Sector (0-2, fully competitive) Definition This indicator reflects the level of competition in a country's telecommunications sector for international long distance calls, mobile phones and internet service providers. Based on the most recent industry competition level (monopoly, partial competition, or competition), each sub-sector is assigned a value of 0 to 2 (with 0 being a monopoly, 1 partial competition and 2 full competition). The index is then calculated as the simple average of the three sub-sector indicator values. Available Years 2004-2007 Source International Telecommunications Union 13 2. Market Access Market Access ­ Trade Tariff Restrictiveness Index (MA-TTRI) Definition This index summarizes the impact of other countries' trade policies on each country's exports, including preferential rates. It is a uniform equivalent tariff that would maintain a country's aggregate export volume at its current level (given heterogeneous tariffs). It captures the trade distortions that the rest of the world tariff policies impose on the export bundle of each country using estimated elasticities to calculate the impact of a trading partner's tariff schedule on a country's exports. These measures are based on actual or current trade patterns and thus do not capture restrictions facing new or potential trade. Expressed as a tariff rate.

MFN-0 Export Value (% of total exports) Definition This indicator is the percentage of goods total exports that are subject to MFN zero duty tariff rates in a trading partner's HS 6-digit tariff schedule by value. This indicator is also disaggregated for agricultural goods and non- agricultural goods. If an HS 6-digit tariff line has both non-duty free rates and duty free rates at the 8-digit level, then all exports in that 6-digit line were treated as non-duty free.

Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER) (%, + = appreciation) Definition The real effective exchange rates are calculated using geometric weighted averages of the seasonally adjusted consumer price index and the exchange rate index, US dollar per national currency, period average. It is calculated for those countries having consumer prices data. Countries with high inflation rates are not seasonally adjusted. The formula is: n EREERj (PCPIj * ERIj)/ Exp ( WTji *Ln(PCPIi * ERIi))*100 i1 where, EREER is the calculated real effective exchange rate PCPI represents the consumer price index ERI represents the index form of the period average of the exchange rate, US dollar per national currency j = the reporting country n = number of partner countries to j i = index of partner country, i=1,....,n WTji = the weight that country j attaches to partner country i If the value of index is positive (or negative), it reflects the appreciation (or depreciation) of the currency.
