Consumer attitudes toward trade liberalization

Author

  • David Denslow

Abstract

This paper fills an existing gap in the international trade literature by empirically modelling consumer attitudes regarding trade liberalization efforts. Data are taken from the policy response section of a monthly consumer confidence survey, with estimation accomplished using a trinomial logit methodology. Results indicate that uncertainty, import competition risk, cyclical, educational, and demographic factors play significant roles in determining consumer beliefs with respect to trade policy.
