Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the most common economic effects of countries pursuing trade facilitation. Trade flows are constrained by non-tariff barriers and through trade facilitation these barriers can be decreased. We will study the effects of trade facilitation from a theoretical perspective and evaluate a number of empirical studies. Several different trade barriers will be identified as well as those regions and countries that will gain the most from trade facilitation. We draw the conclusion that
large gains would prevail for all countries and that the consumers, businesses and the state all benefit from trade facilitation. Moreover, the developing countries need to facilitate their trade procedures to a larger extent than... (More)

large gains would prevail for all countries and that the consumers, businesses and the state all benefit from trade facilitation. Moreover, the developing countries need to facilitate their trade procedures to a larger extent than industrialized countries, since their existing barriers are larger. As a result developing countries in general stand to gain more from trade facilitation. (Less)
