OECD study: Measuring distortions in inter- national markets: the aluminium value chain / Part II: Trade in aluminium products and the influence of trade policy

摘要

In a challenging time for global trade, there is growing interest in updating the international trade rule-book to better address concerns about fair competition in the global economy. In response, the OECD has built on its longstanding work measuring government support in agricul- ture, fossil fuels and fisheries to estimate support and related market distortions in the aluminium value chain. The text be- low is an excerpt from the OECD Trade Policy Paper No. 218 (published in Janu- ary 2019), slightly edited, and presents some of the findings in the OECD study. The first part of this compilation was published in ALUMINIUM 3/19, pages 18-22.
