Use of trade data can enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of strategic trade control efforts. By understanding national and global trade in strategic commodities, officials can better focus their trade control efforts, select companies for outreach and audit, target transactions for...

"This volume is a collection of Jota Ishikawa's past and recent research on strategic trade policy. Chapters one and two are concerned with technical matters when studying strategic trade policy rather than the analysis of strategic trade policy itself. The chapters particularly introduce an...

In a three-country model in which export countries adopt environmental policies, this note analyses how abatement ("green") subsidy can become a potential strategic trade policy tool. When governments set the optimal policy tool considering their local environmental damages, a rich set of...

We introduce demand uncertainty into the context of strategic trade policy in an export rivalry market model, and we examine endogenous timing in the framework of Cournot-Stackelberg duopoly when firms decide in the first stage whether to set output level before or after resolution of...

We explore the possibility of achieving a cooperative outcome when exporting countries act non-cooperatively in a strategic environmental policy model where emission permit markets are linked. We endogenize the participation decision into a specific distribution scheme of the permit revenue...

This paper examines social welfare effects of antitrust regulation in the presence of strategic trade policy within a reciprocal market model. Using a simple two-country trade model, we show that the enforcement of antitrust policy in the domestic market unambiguously improves the domestic...

In this paper, we discuss the endogenous formation of climate coalitions in the tradition of the issue-linkage literature. In particular, we propose a preferential free trade agreement on which a climate coalition should be built. The basic idea is that the benefits of free trade provide strong...

We study international trade and macroeconomic dynamics triggered by the imposition of sanctions. We begin with a tractable two-country model where Home and Foreign countries have comparative advantages in production of differentiated consumption goods and a commodity (e.g., gas), respectively....

We explore the possibility of achieving a cooperative outcome when governments act non-cooperatively in a strategic environmental policy model where emission permit markets are linked. We introduce a specific distribution scheme of the permit revenues between the exporting countries so as to...
