However, their protectionist response is frequently seen as an instrument to attain other goals rather than those related to overcome the GR. This paper explores what is behind countries’ conduct and summarizes the macro and microeconomic determinants of tariff and antidumping (AD) barriers in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico using pre- and post-2008 GR trade and protection data. As to tariff barriers, institutional agreements appear to have kept applied tariff in control after the crisis, while the positive impact of intra-industry trade reveals the governmental dependence on tariff revenue in both Sud-American countries.

The short-run impact of debt on GDP growth is positive, but decreases to close to zero beyond public debt-to-GDP ratios between 64 and 71% (i.e. up to this threshold, additional debt has a stimulating impact on growth). The institutional variable selected shows the expected sign suggesting that countries with democratic governments exhibit higher growth rates.
