Product and Process Standards: Implications for Foreign Direct Investment and Processed Food Trade

Year: 1995

Type: article

Abstract: The paper reviews Uruguay Round accomplishments related to product and process standards' effects on trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) in processed foods, concluding that more was achieved to reduce the use of product and process standards as technical barriers to trade than on investment barriers.Three directions for empirical research are identified: (1) the prevalence of product and process standards as trade barriers, (2) harmonization versus mutual recognition, and (3) case studies on the effect of product and process standards on trade versus FDI decisions.
