Abstract

This is the protocol for a systematic review of the existing evidence on the impact of trade agreements on employment and government revenue in developing countries. The Review will focus on quantitative studies linking tariff reductions to employment and fiscal revenue in developing countries. From these studies the aim is to synthesise quantitative information on impact of tariff reductions. This protocol provides background information and details of the methods to be used.
