font size="3" face="Times New Roman"> The aim of this study is twofold. First, to provide a brief and updated description of the stock of discriminatory policy instruments in LAC. This will help us to identify the protectionist measures (tariff and non-tariff) imposed by the region on different trading partners. Second, to develop an empirical model that explores the determinants of these policy instruments. We use pre and post-crisis trade and protection data to search the possible determinants of the trade policy responses.
