I think it's premature to say the domestic content rules worked, local suppliers for a domestic auto industry would have been inevitable. If China supplies manufactured goods for every other country in the world, why not for its own industry?

Per Kurowski

Danni Rodrik “Domestic content preferences are illegal period, regardless of whether they help a country industrialize and grow.”

That reads like a somewhat biased phrasing of the issue since it is not the role of the WTO to help a country industrialize…but to help along that fair play gamesmanship that helps everyone to grow.

There are actually also poor consumers in not-industriazable countries that could benefit from the production being allocated to where it is most efficient. They are frequently forgotten in this supposedly global world but that still acts mostly locally within their small geographical backyards.

Can Professor Rodrik help individual countries to maximize their growth while at the same time do the same for the world?

When an ED at the World Bank I repeatedly found reasons to state that the one with really no representation of voice at all at the Bank…was the world or little planet earth itself.

Under Unctad/Gatt trade regulations domestic value added content was strictly regulated, and OECD countries demanded(!) significant value added in order to qualify for trade preference of any type.

Not knowing the actual background of the Chinese case on spare parts for car manufacture ( it includes BMW and Mercedes!), initial reaction is that OECD argued as a bloc to undermine Chinese demand that they buy from local Chinese parts supplier.

Of course, this case can get complicated if and when the Chinese find out that western manufacturers are trying to stall the car industry platform which China is trying to domesticate.

The Indians had their case with Suzuki JV which, I suspect, was amicably settled by JV parties.

Pretty clearly there's a missing counterfactual here. Moving production, including components, to China and/or India was always going to be a nobrainer anyway, given the dual attractions of a rapidly expanding local market and low labour costs.

In other words, it's quite likely this all would have happened anyway and the actual effect of the restrictions was just to slow the growth of the domestic market a bit.

Why is identifying the range of politically feasible alternatives beyond the purview of pure economics?

Which member is it that has the most WTO cases filed against it?

Oh, yeah.
USA.

mercedes parts

The WTO would rather impose double standards on economics: protectionism in the West but liberal markets in the East. That way, imports like mercedez benz parts would still be supplied to the periphery.

High School Diploma

The General Education Development (GED or GED Online) testing program permits adult students to apply for an equivalency certificate. At Sandford High School you can earn yourself a regular High School Diploma which is better than a General Education Development program. Once you have a regular diploma, you can apply for better jobs rather than if you had a GED, GED Online. There are many GED Schools or organizations that would prefer a Regular High School Diploma as compared to Online Diploma or GED Online. So why go through the hassle of getting a GED when you can earn yourself an accredited regular diploma. Online GED Programs and Online GED Diploma by Sandfordhighschool.com.

There won't be any added expenses by having the flowers delivered. As a matter of fact, having flowers delivered the same day is as economical has having then ordered in advance and delivered. Flowers are a good value in this economy because some, like flowering plants, continue to give day after day for as long as they plant stays alive. And that means that everyday is a great return on your endeavor. There's no additional charge for having it delivered the same day as opposed to having it delivered a week from now.

Have you ever tried to write a Term paper? Writing does not come naturally to many students; they found themselves often clueless and tired. What they need is little bit guidance and assistance to get an excellent term paper.

Many places and centers offer business and trade promotions to both buyers and supplier.What about the differences in skill intensities across industries? The job losses in the relatively unskilled-labor intensive battery industry should have little effect on the relatively skilled-labor intensive machinery
