- Title
Welfare Costs of Border Delays: Numerical Calculations from a Canadian Regional Trade Model.
- Authors
Nguyen, Trien T.; Wigle, Randall M.
- Abstract
The article investigates the welfare impact of border delays in trade due to post September 11, 2001 security concerns. A computable general equilibrium model of regional trade for Canada was used, modeling both private costs related with increased security and public costs of administering and enforcing the border. Results suggest welfare costs of relatively modest border delays are quite high, which raises the possibility that the damage resulting from even more widespread border delays could be quite extensive in a trade-dependent country like Canada.
