Abstract

The meat complex represents one of the sectors with the highest incidence of rules and regulations on its trade flows. In this sense, this paper aims to verify: a) the effects of SPS and TBT measures on exports of the meat complex; b) the effect of private standards on the referred trade flow; c) the relative importance of private standards and government regulations on trade flows. The method used in the paper was the gravity model estimated using PPML (Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood), with data from 2013 to 2018 for 111 exporting countries and 106 importing countries. The results showed a positive and significant effect of private standards on the meat trade, while government regulations did not have a significant effect.
