 note = {Technical Report, This paper examines the impact of the participation of Vietnam to WTO as well
as of the abolition of restrictions on Chinese exports of textiles and clothing to the
US and EU on the Cambodian Economy, by using a computable general equilibrium
model. A seminal aspect of this paper is that this paper has succeeded in constructing
a Cambodia specific computable general equilibrium model by using one of the first
ever input-output tables of Cambodia with 35 different production sectors. One of our
most striking simulation results is that the welfare loss would be about 905 million
US dollars when either the amount of exports of apparel products from Cambodia or
the amount of imports of textiles to Cambodia decreases by 30 percent caused by the
participation of Vietnam to WTO as well as the abolition of restrictions on Chinese
exports. Another striking result is that the government should reduce the production
tax rate for the apparel sector by 68.1 percent in order to keep the welfare of Cambodia
unchanged when exports of apparel products decreases by 30 percent. Our simulation
results predict that the Cambodian economy has substantially been damaged by the
participation of Vietnam to WTO as well as the abolition of restrictions on Chinese
exports to EU and the US., CRR Working Paper, Series A, No. A-16, pp. 1-76},
