Tariffs and non-tariff frictions in the world wine trade (2016, background): “A vast majority of scholars have argued that non-tariff barriers have simply been put in place to protect domestic industries from import competition (Vousden,1990; Yue and Beghin, 2009), raising international political concern (Disdier et al., 2008).”
The Combination of Gravity and Welfare Approaches for Evaluating Nontariff Measures (2010, unknown): “Many recent empirical assessments of NTMs have been mercantilist focusing on forgone trade via gravity estimation (see for example Otsuki, Wilson, and Sewadeh 2001a and b; Wilson and Otsuki 2004; Disdier, Fontagné, and Mimouni 2008; Anders and Caswell 2009).”
Non-Tariff Measures and Standards in Trade and Global Value Chains (2015, background): “One can also compare frequency measures across a set of commodities or countries (Disdier et al. 2008; Fontagné et al. 2005).”
Help or hindrance ? the impact of harmonized standards on african exports (2007, unknown): “One alternative would be to use TBT notification data from the WTO, as in Fontagné et al. (2005) and Disdier et al. (2008).5 However, we do not favour that approach for two reasons.”
North-South Standards Harmonization and International Trade (2013, unknown): “Therefore, to perform this investigation, we rely on the NTM dataset used by Disdier et al. (2008), which is relevant for our sample period.”
Hidden protectionism? Evidence from non-tariff barriers to trade in the United States (2019, unknown): “Hence, product standards and stricter enforcement procedures negatively affect import flows especially for developing countries (Henson and Loader, 2001; Disdier et al., 2008; Essaji, 2008).43”
A Meta-Analysis of Estimates of the Impact of Technical Barriers to Trade (2012, unknown): “Few researchers have tried and compared different proxies within their investigations (see Disdier et al. (2008b)), and most researchers only chose one.”
Does aid for trade enhance export performance? Investigating on the infrastructure channel (2012, unknown): “Also, as we will discuss it later, to increase the participation of developing countries on international standards organisations seems relevant to straightening their institutional capacity on these non-tariff barriers (Disdier et al. , 2008).”
Why trade facilitation matters to Africa1 (2009, unknown): “Disdier et al. (2007) use data on WTO notifications of mandatory sanitary and phyto-sanitary measures, as well as technical regulations, to measure the impact of standards across a large number of sectors.”
Disentangling Demand-Enhancing and Trade-Cost Effects of Maximum Residue Regulations (2014, unknown): “For example, Disdier, Fontagné, and Mimouni (2008) show that SPS and TBTs in agriculture significantly reduce the OECD’ imports from developing countries, but do not affect trade flows among the OECD members. disentangled.”

Why has Africa become a net food importer? Explaining Africa agricultural and food trade deficits. (2011, background): “Disdier et al. (2008) showed that SPS and Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) are prominent in the OECD agricultural sector and negatively influence total OECD imports and that SPS and TBT significantly reduce developing countries’, including African countries’ exports.”
The Impact of Regulatory Heterogeneity on Agri‐Food Trade (2012, unknown): “For instance, the Tobit estimator advocated by Eaton and Tamura (1994) has been used in many studies, but Tobit estimators perform poorly when errors are non-normal and heteroscedastic.”
