Why trade facilitation matters to Africa1 (2009, background): “Among the papers that have found evidence as to the negative effects of standards on trade from African countries, Otsuki et al. (2001) examine the impact of European aflatoxin standards on African groundnut exports.”
Assessing the Potential Benefit of Trade Facilitation: A Global Perspective (2004, background): “Otsuki, Wilson, and Sewadeh (2001a, 2001b) find that 10 percent tighter food standards in the European Union would reduce African exports of certain cereals, nuts, and dried foods by a range of 5 to 11 percent, depending on the category.”
Mycotoxin research and mycoflora in some commercially important agricultural commodities (2008, background): “With the increasing stringent regulations for mycotoxins, especially for aflatoxins imposed by the importing countries such as the European Union, the export industry of agricultural commodities is in jeopardy (Otsuki et al., 2001; Felicia, 2004).”
Non-Tariff Measures and Standards in Trade and Global Value Chains (2015, background): “Earlier investigations (e.g., Otsuki et al., 2001on aflatoxin MRLs) did not include tariffs but used fixed effects to account for them.”
Harmonisation of food regulations and trade in the Single Market: evidence from disaggregated data (2006, background): “…of data limitations, these papers focused on the trade impact of voluntary standards rather than on TBT. Key differences between our paper and Otsuki et al. (2001) are: (i) the testable hypothesis of the effect of regulations, (ii) the quantification of harmonisation, (iii) a generalisation…”
Tariffs and non-tariff frictions in the world wine trade (2016, background): “Similarly, Otsuki et al. (2001) demonstrated that the European standards on aflatoxins are the main barrier to imports of African Groundnuts.”
Mycotoxins in food in West Africa: current situation and possibilities of controlling it (2003, background): “Exports of agricultural products particularly groundnuts from developing countries have dropped considerably in recent years resulting in major economic losses to producing countries (Bhat and Vashanti, 1999; Otzuki et al., 2001).”
The Combination of Gravity and Welfare Approaches for Evaluating Nontariff Measures (2010, neutral): “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).”
A Meta-Analysis of Estimates of the Impact of Technical Barriers to Trade (2012, neutral): “Otsuki et al. (2001a, 2001b), Wilson and Otsuki (2001), and Wilson et al. (2003), use MRLs to proxy the strength of technical measures.”
Pesticides Residues and Trade: the Apple of Discord? (2011, methodology): “The main difference from previous studies (Otsuki et al. 2001; Wilson et al. 2003; Wilson and Otsuki 2004 or Xion and Beghin 2010) is that we compute our index based on all pesticides found in those regulations rather than just one or two main substances.”
