2 Outline 1. The increasing relevance of time as a trade barrier; 2. The existing empirical literature on the benefits of trade facilitation; 3. Measuring the costs of delays at customs at the product level; 4. The Single Window Program in Brazil and its short/long run Impacts; Centre for Global Trade and Investment EESP/FGV
3 1.1. The increasing relevance of time as a Trade Barrier In the last several decades, there has been a sharp rise in the international trade of intermediate goods, as a consequence of the global unbundling of production. Nowadays, exports of intermediates correspond to 66% of global exports; At the same time, the cost of air cargo has dropped significantly and the use of air cargo has risen 2.6 times faster than ocean cargo. According to Hummels and Schaur (AER, 2013), it seems reasonable to conclude that the sharp reduction in the cost of linking production sites through fast moving airplanes has been an important factor in growing fragmentation worldwide Centre São for Paulo Global School Trade of Economics and Investment EESP/FGV (CGTI-FGV)
4 1.2. The increasing relevance of time as a Trade Barrier While many products are time sensitive due to inventory holding costs, perishability and rapid technological obsolescence, these problems become even more important when factories are interconnected through Global Value Chains (Baldwin, 2013; Hummels, 2013, Timer, 2013); According to Djankov (2006), delays in exports may reduce as much as 1% per day of its total amount, of any given country; In addition, a 2009 OECD report shows that total costs of delays at customs may represent anywhere from 1% to 30% of traded cargo s value; Centre São for Paulo Global School Trade of Economics and Investment EESP/FGV (CGTI-FGV)
5 2.1. The existing empirical literature on the benefits of trade facilitation Most of the existing studies are based on either Gravity Equations or CGE models; Some drawbacks on the existing empirical literature: Gravity models suffer from problems of misspecification due to sample selection bias as well as firm heterogeneity, among others (Helpman, Melitz and Rubenstein, QJE, 2008); Gravity models don t give the big picture, since cross-price effects among sectors and countries are ignored; CGE models may circumvent some of these problems but most of the existing studies are based on ad hoc estimates of trade transaction costs and therefore their results are hardly comparable Centre São for Paulo Global School Trade of Economics and Investment EESP/FGV (CGTI-FGV)
6 2.2. The existing empirical literature on the benefits of trade facilitation CGE MODELS All the studies measure reductions in ad hoc direct as well as indirect costs (delays) Centre São for Paulo Global School Trade of Economics and Investment EESP/FGV (CGTI-FGV)
7 3.1. Measuring the costs of delays at Customs at the product level (Hummels and Schaur, AER, 2013) The costs of time: Lengthy shipping times impose inventory-holding and depreciation costs which include spoilage and rapid technological obsolescence; Long lead times between ordering and delivery require firms to commit to product specifications and quantities supplied before uncertain demand is resolved; The authors examine the modal choice decisions of firms engaged in trade and use the trade-off between fast and expensive air transport versus slow and inexpensive ocean shipping to identify the value of time saving Centre São for Paulo Global School Trade of Economics and Investment EESP/FGV (CGTI-FGV)
8 3.2. Measuring the costs of delays at Customs at the product level (Hummels and Schaur, AER, 2013) In the model, Consumers have CES type preferences over a bundle of differentiated goods: The time of delivery by firms is treated as a product quality dimension, according to: Slow delivery reduces consumer s perception of product quality Centre São for Paulo Global School Trade of Economics and Investment EESP/FGV (CGTI-FGV)
9 3.3. Measuring the costs of delays at Customs at the product level (Hummels and Schaur, AER, 2013) With real expenditures given by E, utility maximization gives the following domestic demand for the product exported by firm z located in foreign country j: The equation above shows that, for the same prices and consumer s income, demand will be higher for goods that arrive sooner than later... Centre São for Paulo Global School Trade of Economics and Investment EESP/FGV (CGTI-FGV)
10 3.4. This idea can be illustrated by the graphic below. For the equilibrium quantity Q *, consumers are willing to pay P * for a good that arrives late. They would pay P 1 for a zero delay good. Therefore, the implicit Ad valorem cost of delay will be (P 1 -P * )/P *. Centre São for Paulo Global School Trade of Economics and Investment EESP/FGV (CGTI-FGV) May /2015
11 3.5. Measuring the costs of delays at Customs at the product level (Hummels and Schaur, AER, 2013) According to estimates by Hummels and Schaur (2013), each day of delay at customs may cost from 0,6% up to 2,1% of traded cargo s value; Furthermore, time sensitivity of trade in intermediates (parts and components) is over 60% higher in comparison to trade in final goods; Hummels and Schaur (2013) estimate per day costs of delays for thousands of products at the HS6 digit level. This information, in conjunction with bilateral trade flows (World Bank, WITS) and average lengthy of delays in ports for several countries (World Bank, Doing Business), allows one to estimate the ad valorem equivalents of delays at customs. Centre São for Paulo Global School Trade of Economics and Investment EESP/FGV (CGTI-FGV)
12 Total delays at Brazilian Customs impose an extra tariff on Brazilian imports of 14.2% % Equivalente Ad Valorem dos Atrasos Aduaneiros: Importações Totais (2013) 21.00% 19.40% 14.20% 11.00% 10.10% 6.20% 4.20% 4.10% Argentina Russia Africa do Sul Brasil Chile México Alemanha EUA Coréia do Sul São Paulo School of Economics EESP/FGV
13 The costs of total delays for import procedures at Brazilian customs are more relevant than existing import tariffs Ad Valorem equivalente dos Atrasos x Tarifas de Importação (2013) 33.70% 21.00% 14.20% 6.20% 7.50% 7.80% 10.10% 1.70% 6.20% 5.70% 4.20% 1.30% 1.50% 0.60% Argentina Russia Brasil México Alemanha Japão EUA EA Atrasos Tarifas de Importação São Paulo School of Economics EESP/FGV
14 Total delays at customs in Brazil impose an extra tax on Brazilian exports of 13.04% % Equivalente Ad Valorem dos Atrasos Aduaneiros: Exportações Totais (2013) 14.29% 13.04% 11.63% 11.30% 10.97% 9.14% 7.45% 7.17% 5.05% Russia Africa do Sul Brasil Argentina México Índia Japão Alemanha Coréia do Sul EUA São Paulo School of Economics EESP/FGV
15 The costs of delays at customs are relatively higher for importers of capital intensive goods in the Brazilian economy São Paulo School of Economics EESP/FGV
16 Costs of delays are also relatively higher for exporters of capital intensive goods in Brazil São Paulo School of Economics EESP/FGV
17 4. The Single Window Program in Brazil and its expected short/long run Impacts São Paulo School of Economics EESP/FGV
18 4.1.The Single Window Program of the Brazilian Governm ( ) By reducing bureaucracy, streamlining customs procedures and centralizing necessary information to import and export, the program aims at: Exports: Reduce from 13 to 8 days average total delays involved in Export procedures at Brazilian Customs; Imports: Reduce from 17 to 10 days average total delays involved in Import procedures at Brazilian Customs; Once successfully implemented, it is expected that reduction in delays at Brazilian customs will have biased effects: Cost reductions will be relatively higher for capital intensive goods; São Paulo School of Economics EESP/FGV
19 4.2. The Programa Portal Único de Comércio Exterior will create positive externalities over various articles included in the Bali Agreement, anticipating reforms in Brazil: 1. Information Availability 2. Involvement of the trade community 3. Advance rulings 4. Fees and Charges 5. Appeal Procedures 6. Formalities and Documents 7. Formalities and Automation 8. Formalities and Procedures 9. Border Agency Cooperation - internal 10. Border Agency Cooperation - external 11. Governance and Impartiality São Paulo School of Economics EESP/FGV
20 4.3. Most importantly, it will address the most sensitive articles in the Bali Agreement for both Imports and Exports in Brazil 3 Implicit Ad Valorem Equivalents of the costs of delays for each article in the Bali Agreement: IMPORTS Information Availability Involvement of the trade community Advance rulings Appeal Procedures Formalities and Documents Formalities and Automation Formalities and Procedures Border Agency Cooperation - internal Border Agency Cooperation - external Governance and Impartiality São Paulo School of Economics EESP/FGV

22 Modeling Issues São Paulo School of Economics EESP/FGV
23 Dynamic General Equilibrium Model Data base: GTAP 8 (Base year updated to 2013); Perfect competition model which accommodates 134 regions and 57 sectors by region; The dynamic model traces out the convergence path between the initial equilibrium (before policy implementation) and the final long term equilibrium (when all the policy effects have been absorbed by the economy); Policy impacts are measured against a baseline (counterfactual) scenario which reveals how the economy of Brazil would have evolved in the absence of the policy; Centre for Global Trade and Investment EESP/FGV
24 Additional Information Source for the baseline variables: CEPII (Centre d'etudes Prospectives et d'informations Internationales); Projected variables: Real GDP growth, labor force growth and population growth; Closure: Perfect mobility of labor and capital; Trade balance over GDP and technological parameters are kept constant; Centre for Global Trade and Investment EESP/FGV
25 Modeling the Efficiency Shocks at Brazilian Customs The GTAP model does not include a representation of customs activities or costs of border procedures; The methodology adopted in this work follows Hertel et al (2001) and assumes that trade facilitation takes the form of technical progress in trading activities; CES type demand equation for good i, exported from country r to destination country s is written i the GTAP model as follows: A technical progress in trading activities due to reduction in delays at customs may be represented by a positive shock on the variable AMS IRS. This corresponds to an upward shift in import demand; Centre for Global Trade and Investment EESP/FGV

49 3. For Brazil, despite significant tariff cuts in the nineties (over 67% in average) import penetration is still one of the lowest in the world... For the economy as a whole, Brazil ranks 133 out of a sample of 133 economies Centre São for Paulo Global School Trade of Economics and Investment EESP/FGV EESP/FGV Abril/2014
50 4. For Exports over the same period, Brazil has reduced its share on global exports, despite the formation of Mercosur in Participação do Brasil nas Exportações Globais 1.65% % Centre São for Paulo Global School Trade of Economics and Investment EESP/FGV EESP/FGV Abril/2014
51 5. Can import tariffs alone explain Brazilian weak participation in global trade? Import Tariffs: Though still above global average, import tariff levels in Brazil have decreased significantly since the nineties. The import penetration ratio for the whole economy, however, has remained stuck around 10% over the same period; Geography: The Brazilian economy is relatively distant from the most significant trade flows in the world, which makes maritime transport costs relatively high; Transaction costs: In this scenario, minimization of port costs become even more crucial for the improvement of Brazilian trade performance...
