| description |
There exist legal channels for
informational lobbying of U.S. policymakers by foreign
principals. Foreign governments and private sector
principals frequently and intensively use this institutional
channel to lobby on trade and tourism issues. The authors
empirically study whether such lobbying effectively achieves
its goal of trade promotion in the context of Caribbean
tourism and it is the first paper to examine the potential
for using foreign lobbying as a vehicle for development.
They use panel data to explore and quantify the association
between foreign lobbying by Caribbean principals and U.S.
tourist arrivals to Caribbean destinations. A variety of
sensitivity analyses support the finding of a strong
association. The policy implications are obvious and
potentially important for developing countries. |
