Composition of Trade
• Increased trade as share of GDP– Largest increase in trade among OECD countries
• Increased trade in intermediate inputs– Import content of exports increased– International segmentation of production
• Increased trade in new products• Trends challenge standard trade theory and
analysis of gains from trade

Implications of Trends
• The formation of blocs pre-dated any explicit regional trade agreement (RTA)
• Three kinds of RTA:– Bloc creation: EU, NAFTA, Mercosur– Bloc expansion: EU expansion, CAFTA– Market access: EPAs, AGOA, FTAA,
bilateral agreements
![Page 12: Mozambique and Regional Integration in Southern Africa Sherman Robinson Institute of Development Studies University of Sussex November 2007.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551409e4550346dd488b4d18/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
15
Shallow and Deep Integration
• Early RTAs and GATT/WTO rounds facilitated shallow (or negative) integration: – Reduction of border trade barriers
• New RTAs all involve elements of “deep” or “positive” integration– Policies and institution “behind the border” that
facilitate increased trade
![Page 13: Mozambique and Regional Integration in Southern Africa Sherman Robinson Institute of Development Studies University of Sussex November 2007.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551409e4550346dd488b4d18/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Gains From RTAs
• Many studies of actual and potential RTAs of various kinds– Virtually all benefit the members (trade creating)– Better if there is at least one large and/or rich
country to “anchor” the RTA– Small countries gain proportionately more
• Bilateral agreements are less beneficial– Fallacy of composition: hub-spoke system is not
good for the spokes18
![Page 14: Mozambique and Regional Integration in Southern Africa Sherman Robinson Institute of Development Studies University of Sussex November 2007.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551409e4550346dd488b4d18/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Productivity gains and market integration
• Integration in global value-chains– Fragmentation of production and scale economies
• Trade in intermediates and new products
– Inter-firm and intra-firm coordination• Quality and SPSS standards
– High profitability from niche products
• Trade-productivity links– Technology transfer
– Role of FDI in market integration
![Page 15: Mozambique and Regional Integration in Southern Africa Sherman Robinson Institute of Development Studies University of Sussex November 2007.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551409e4550346dd488b4d18/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
SADC: Regional Integration
• Is the SADC region forming a trade bloc?– Yes. Still early stage, with differing degrees of
integration across the region
• Is South Africa large enough and linked enough to anchor the bloc?– Yes, given past decade of growth
• Is Mozambique ready for integration?– Yes, with supportive policies

SADC FTA/Customs Union
• SADC FTA: much still to be negotiated
• SADC customs union or SACU expansion– Proceed in stages: E.g., first, include
Mozambique, Malawi, and Zambia– Whether it is SADC or SACU depends as
much on politics as on economics
• Elements of deep integration are required– Monetary union is much more remote

Policy Commitment
• Supportive policy environment is crucial– Reduce or eliminate policies that inhibit trade
• Tariffs, quantitative controls, distorting taxes
– Institute polices and create institutions that facilitate trade, especially exports
• Standards/certification• Infrastructure/investment• Regional policy coordination• Trade negotiations• Business environment
28
![Page 24: Mozambique and Regional Integration in Southern Africa Sherman Robinson Institute of Development Studies University of Sussex November 2007.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551409e4550346dd488b4d18/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Tax and Tariff System
• Supportive business environment requires a tax system that is: – Transparent– Predictable– Consistent– Uniform with minimal distortions
• Efficient administration is crucial– Responsive bureaucracy
29
![Page 25: Mozambique and Regional Integration in Southern Africa Sherman Robinson Institute of Development Studies University of Sussex November 2007.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551409e4550346dd488b4d18/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Trade Negotiations
• RTA/Customs Union– Phasing: sensitive sectors– Rules of origin– Dispute resolution mechanisms
• Regional trade administration– SACU and/or SADC
• Capacity for continuing negotiations– Integration is an ongoing process
30
![Page 26: Mozambique and Regional Integration in Southern Africa Sherman Robinson Institute of Development Studies University of Sussex November 2007.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551409e4550346dd488b4d18/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Trade Negotiations
• Negotiating institution needs to manage tradeoffs between competing interests– Industry/agriculture/labor ministries tend to favor
existing industries, and hence to be protectionist– Need to reflect interests of potential exporters
and public (e.g., consumers)
• Need for analytic support and organized advice from stakeholders
31
![Page 27: Mozambique and Regional Integration in Southern Africa Sherman Robinson Institute of Development Studies University of Sussex November 2007.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551409e4550346dd488b4d18/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Coordination of Agreements
• Need to revise agreements as regional integration proceeds– E.g., EPAs and EU-South Africa agreements
• Regional institutions– Coordinate macro and monetary policy– Establish and enforce standards/norms– Dispute resolution and legal systems
32
![Page 28: Mozambique and Regional Integration in Southern Africa Sherman Robinson Institute of Development Studies University of Sussex November 2007.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551409e4550346dd488b4d18/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Mozambique and Integration
• Problems and needs– Business environment issues– Need for infrastructure and finance– Regional institutions
• Government and private sector collaboration as process unfolds– Ready to start. Cannot learn to swim if you
will not go into the water. 33
![Page 29: Mozambique and Regional Integration in Southern Africa Sherman Robinson Institute of Development Studies University of Sussex November 2007.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061305/551409e4550346dd488b4d18/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Success Indicators
• Process:– Establishment and evolution of regional
institutions that facilitate trade– Tax/tariff policy reform and administration– Business environment
• Results– Increased trade and growth– Stable macro policy environment
