Abstract
he aim of this work is to assess the effects of trade policy initiatives aimed at improving marketaccess for LDCs in Quad countries (Canada, European Union, Japan and United States). The studysimulates the effects of two policy scenarios:i)Elimination of all tariff and non tariff barriers against LDCs in the European Union. This experiment is aimed at simulating the effects of the already approved EBA initiative.ii)Elimination of tariff and non tariff barriers faced by LDCs in all Quad markets. This experimentanalyses the effects of a hypothetical coordinated action where the other Quad follow the leadof the European Union.
