Enhancing Intra-SAARC Trade: Pruning India’s Sensitive List under SAFTA

Published By: ICRIER on eSS | Published Date: April, 29 , 2011

The study suggests an approach to reduce India’s sensitive list under SAFTA. The concept of Revealed Comparative Advantage has been used to pair the RCAs for products on India’s sensitive list with the corresponding RCAs of the SAARC countries. Four categories of items are generated based on whether India or the SAARC country is competitive in each of the items. This process helps in identifying items in which India is competitive and those where the exporting SAARC country is not competitive. [Working Paper 255].
