3 General notes: The dollar ratio is the ratio of the dollar increase in GDP over the dollar increase in two-way trade. As an example, the dollar ratio in Decreux and Fontagne (2009),from their simulation of a liberalization scenario in goods and services trade as well as trade facilitation improvement, is This number is the ratio between the dollar GDP growth in this scenario, $165 billion, and the related two-way trade growth, $452 billion (for these numbers, refer to Table A3). The openness ratio is the ratio of the percentage increase in GDP over the percentage increase in 2-way trade. As an example, the openness ratio in Decreux and Fontagne (2009),from their simulation of a liberalization scenario in goods and services trade as well as trade facilitation improvement, is This number is the ratio between the GDP percentage growth from this scenario, 0.2%, and the related two-way trade percentage growth, 2.8% (for these numbers, refer to Table A3).

5 General notes: GDP growth is measured as equivalent variation in Gilbert (2009) and as welfare gains in Brown, Deardorff, and Stern (2001) and Brown, Kiyota, and Stern (2005). For Freund and Bolaky (2008), the trade data and GDP data come from the Bank Development Indicators (WDI) (2009). For Anderson, Martin, and van der Mensbrugghe (2006), the initial trade data comes from UNComtrade (2009); 2008 data, or 2007 when 2008 data is not available. GDP data comes from International Monetary Fund (IMF) Economic Outlook (WEO) (2009): 2008 data was used. For the Brown, Kiyota, and Stern (2005) calculations, the initial trade data comes from UNComtrade (2009); 1997 data was used. For the Brown, Deardorff, and Stern (2001) calculations, the initial trade data comes from UNComtrade (2009); 1995 data was used. For the Francois van Meijl, and van Tongeren (2005) calculations the country groups are not completely distinct. For example, Turkey is considered developed for trade growth and developing for GDP growth. For Gilbert (2009), covering Uruguay Round trade, the method involved backcasting to Uruguay Round bound rates for bilateral tariffs between the and its major partners. Initial GDP data for 2004 was taken from IMF (2009). For Gilbert (2009), covering Transportation Costs, the method involved backcasting to 1980 transportation costs for bilateral costs between the and its major partners. Initial GDP data from 2004 was taken from IMF (2009). The Scollay and Gilbert (2001) calculations used initial trade data from DOTS (2009); 1998 data was used. Initial GDP data was from IMF WEO(2009); 1998 data was used. Lodefalk and Kinnmann (2006) provided data for the growth in openness ratios and GDP. Other data were collected by the authors of this working paper. Sources: Anderson, Kym, Will Martin, & Domique van der Mensbrugghe Market and Welfare Implications of Doha Reform Scenarios.

For example, a developed country with a tariff of 55 percent will decrease its tariff rate by 64 percent (down to 19.8 percent), while a developing country will decrease the same tariff rate by 38 percent (down to 34.1 percent), and a recently acceded country by 35 percent (down to 35.7 percent).
