(Excerpt from a report by Dr. Greg Mastel)For this study, an attempt was made to measure the potential increase in imports in each of the aforementioned industrial and agricultural sectors40. This exercise required data for the top-7 imports for each sector in 1998; tariff rates at accession and the liberalization timetable; the incorporation of non-tariff measures; and own-price elasticities for each product. Assumptions about endogenous import demand during the phase-in period were also required.
