| description |
The author considers the policy options
of the West Bank and Gaza with respect to trade and the
export of labor services. He concludes that: 1)
Nondiscriminatory trade policy is unambiguously superior to
a free trade agreement with Israel; 2) The West Bank and
Gaza should pursue a nondiscriminatory trade policy with all
its neighbors, but only on the condition that the trade
policy be open, transparent, and enforced by a credible
lock-in mechanism. Otherwise, a customs union with Israel
may be preferable; 3) The Palestinian Authority should
establish a system of fee-based permits for Palestinians
working in Israel; and 4) The Palestinian Authority should
consider allowing Jordanians access to the West Bank and
Gaza labor market. |
