Using data from inter-country input-output tables in a gravity model, the paper finds that home bias in government procurement is significantly higher than in trade between firms. However, this difference has been shrinking over time. Results also show that trade agreements with provisions on government procurement increase cross-border flows of services, whereas the effect on goods is small and not different from that in private markets. Provisions containing transparency and procedural requirements drive the liberalizing effect of trade agreements. 2021-04-02T13:43:43Z 2021-04-02T13:43:43Z 2021-03 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/909421616692457601/Trade-Barriers-in-Government-Procurement http://hdl.handle.net/10986/35353 English Policy Research Working Paper;No. 9602 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper
