description |
In the last decade Morocco undertook
substantial, if gradual, trade liberalization by reducing
tariffs, reforming trade regulations and signing free and
preferential trade agreements with several regions and
countries, including the United States, Turkey, the European
Union and Arab countries. This paper analyzes the impact of
input tariff reduction on Moroccan exporting firms through
the channel of intermediate goods. Gaining access to more
varied and cheaper inputs can make exporting firms more
competitive, and as a result they export more. To evaluate
how this policy may impact firms export performance, the
paper analyzes the impact of input tariff reduction on
different margins of trade with emphasis on export markets
and product diversification. The identification of the
effect of input tariffs on exports relies on a
difference-in-difference estimator using heterogeneous
access to import tariff exemption as a measure of different
levels of exposure to input tariff reduction at the firm
level. Overall, the analysis finds that firms that are
relatively more exposed to input tariff perform better in
those sectors with the largest input tariff reduction, with
better access to markets, higher probability to survive when
exporting new products in those sectors and higher export
value growth. |
