In overall temlS,thevalueof imports increased nearly 80 per cent from· 19.84 to 1987despite.of the imposition ofMFA .. IV in, 1986. Howevet. !be growth oftllcapparelinlpOlUW8.Sonly51 percent in the United States, whUe they more tban doubled in other areas including the EW'Ope8ll Community. This may have been a result of more restrictive trade barriersL~ the United States. Uamilton (1985) estimated that, during 1981-84, the tariff equivalent l1J.teof apparel quota protection was 25 per cent in the United Statestnal'ket and 13-15 per ~nt in the Buropean Community.
Japan's apparel impons grew faster, in percentage tenns, than those of any other country. Between 1984 and 1987, apparel imports increased by 147 per cent. At the same time, its
apparel exports decreased by 27 per cent (see below): Japan was in transition from an established traditional apparel exporting country to an increasingly prominent apparel importing country.
Tables 2-4 contain data on imports by fibre types. In 1984, wool apparel accounted for 12 per cent by value of world apparel imports (excluding those not reported totbe United Nations), while cotton and man-made apparel constituted 45 per cent and 43 per cent, respectively. By 1987, the value share of wool and man-made fibre apparel had decreased by 1 per cent and 3 per cent respectively, while the share of cotton apparel increased by 4 per cent. In particular, the value share of wool in US apparel imports decreased by 2 per cent
Overall, the Other Developing countries as a group were the most important source of apparel imports, followed by Hong Kong, China, the European Community and the Other Developed country group. The reliance on the Other Developing countries and China for import requirenlents has increased over time. In 1987, the Other Developing countries provided around 60 per cent of US, Japan and EC apparel imports while China's share was relatively small due to its small quota allocations.
Exports The values of overall apparel exports by the selected countries are shovm in Table 5. (Note that tbese figures are primarily derived from countries t reports of their own exports, by destination, whereas those in the previous tables are from counuies' reports of their imports, by source. There are inevitably discrepancies between the two sets of data.) While other countries increased their exports. Japan's exports of apparel declined. The disaggregated data (not shown) reveal that exports of wool apparel from Japan decreased by 11 per cent while exports of cotton and man-made fibre apparel declined by 29 p~ cent Besides being affected by export restraints. Japan has lost its comparative advantage in labour-intensive apparel making to later developing countries (park and Anderson 1988). The growth of exports from the European

Commwdtyi th~ United States and OtherdevelQped countries was no doubt due in pCU1tQ ~e
protection afforded to eJeveloped countries under tbcMFA.
Apparel exports from the United States, Japan and otberDeveloped countries (Qdt~tbanth~ European Community) are relatively small. In 1984. almost twotbird$ of European' Community apparel exports went to' the Other Developed countriest and 17 per cent each to the United States and Other Developing countries. A still heav.ier reliance ontbc Other Developed countries as outlets for Ee apparel expc "1S was apparent in 1987. Both Hong Kong and Other Developing countries distribute more than three quarters of their apparel exports to the United S ....... .; and European Commwdty markets. Over time. they have increased their dependence on tile European Community and Japanese markets.
Among total apparel exports. the share held by wool is relatively small. Wool apP1U:'el accounted for 22, 12 and 6 per cent of Be, Hong Kong and Othe1 Developing countries total apparel exports, respectively, in 1984. Its share has fanen slightly since 1984. A feature ofEC apparel exports is that the Community exports a much higher proportion of its wool apparel than cotton and man-made fibre apparel to the United States and J~pan. This may have to do with the high quality of Be wool apparel.
Method
Model selection Since the majority of the MFA trade restrictions are imposed on textile and apparel products rather than on fibres, it is necessary to examine trade policy effects at the textile and clothing levels first and then to derive their effects on demand for fibres. Also, it is important to emphasise that commodities or goods produced iu different locations are different frorrj the buyer's standpoint.3 That is, the model must represent a number of goods, each differentiated by its origin.
Most trade models are unsuitable for this purpose because the products being traded are treZlted
as homogeneous. The market share approach to modelling trade allows the investigation of market share of differentiated products in an import market. However. most market share models are not appropriate for dealing with trade restriction problems (Sarris 1981).
3 Product differentiation may take two fonns. Fust, what purchasers desire are particular product characteristics. As nominally similar p~ucts from different sourees often combine ~ characteristics in varying proportions, products. supplied by different countries may be differentiated in the eyes of importers. Serood. products may also be differentiated acconUng to supplier characteristics. For example. suppliers may offer different contracts in tenns of credit. service and delivery dates.

Armington's demand theory, presented in a series of articl~s (Annington 1969a.b, 1970), diffet'entiates commodities by kind and by origin and allows the prediction of ' the tntdeflQw pattern. Since dus mod~l was presented, ahnost20 years ago, it bas be~n used ina 13tg~ number of trade studies (Orennes, lohnsonand Thursby 1977; Jobo$()n, Grcnnes and
Thursby 1979; Babula 1987). though it does not appear to have been applied empirically in textile and clothing trade research. Although it involves some strong assumptions to. simplify its applir :ttion, it is considered a th,eotetically powerful approach with substantial ec(:momic content (Babula 1987) and must be seen as a promising approacbfor modeling aspects of the textile and clothing trade. However. the original Armington model deals with demandtbeory only t with no attention to the important role of supply.
In this study. supply is incotporated into the Anningtonmodel so as to determine equilibrium prices. Supply from an ex.porting country is treated as upward-sloping. The supply curve facing an importing country is made either upward-sloping or completely elastic, depending on whether the country is classed as a large or small importer.
The Armington Type Model
Demand equations Consider a world economy of m (in this case, 7) countries and n (in this case, 3) types of apparel goods based on different fibres, where each good is differentiated according to where it is produced. Demand in country k for apparel of fibre type i produced by country j is a nmction of country kls total expenditure and of the consumer prices for all the apparel goods in country k. Following Annington, apparel of fibre type i produced in country j is called product Qij.
Thus, a product demand function in country k is represented as
(1) k 1c.-1r k k k k k k QDij =Jij (En,Ptt t ••• , P1m, P21• ···t Pij, .. ·, P nl , .•• , P"m)
where QDt is quantity demanded in country k for product Q ij' Ek is country k's total
expenm,ture, and the ~ are the consumer prices (in the local currency) for all the products Qij
in that country.
This demand system requires estimation of m2n(1 +mn) (in this case, 3234) elasticities, a fonnidable task and one very likely to encounter multicoUineri~' problems. To make it tractable, Annington flfSt assumed that importer preferences are homogeneously separable: that is, that marginal rates of substitution between any two products of the same type are
10
"p". t • ) . '.','!
o(vf;uflt independent of the quantities purchased of the products of all other types; i.e., ·k :; 0
oQDg
for aU g;ti. where uk is a utility function of country k. vZ = au" k and ~ = a~ . aQDij aQD;h
This assumption allows a two-stage optimisation process. The impotU;r fll'Sl max,imises utility
constrained by real national income; this stage detennines a Marshallian total demand for apparel of each fibre type i. The importer then minimises expenditures on products of type i subject to the fll'St-stage demand or utility level. Thus. the total demand fOl' apparel of fibre type i and demand for product QU can be represented in the following Conns (the Pi being weighted
average prices for apparel types):
(2)
(3) k k k k k k
QDij=Jij(QDj.Pj1t .•. , Pij, •.. , Pim)
In order to use the model in econometric applications, a particular and simple functional form
of the aggregate quantity index. QDf = ~f(QDfl' ... , QDt, ... , QD:m)t needs to be specified.
To that end, Armington made two strong assumptions. First, an importer's substitution
elasticities between pai.1"8 of products are constant - that is, unaffected by their market shares. Second, the substitution elasticities for all pairs of products of anyone type are the same. These two assumptions imply a constant elasticity of substitution (CBS) functional fonn for the aggregate quantity index.4
The product demand function is further simplified as
(4)
4 These two strong assumptions can be relaxed by adopting a constant-raHo elactticity of substitution homothelic (CRESH) function as the aggregate quantity index (Artus and Rhombcrg 1973). Because the elasticities of substitution derived from the CRESH function ate neither constant nor unique. the flexibility is increased. However, this relaxation requires m2n instead of mn parameters for the model to predict m2n trade flows. This ill not a desirable characteristic. in view of the complexity of even the above constrained model and difficulty of obtaining estimates of these parameters.

Results
The model descri.bed above was used to analyse two possible changes in quota and tariff restrictions on imports of apparel as in 1987 - namely, eliminating the apparel quotas imposed by the United States and the European Community. and removing quotas and ·tariffs altogether mall thecounuies. The focus is on the effects va apparel tradtflows, which are reported both in millions of 1987 US dollars and as percentage cbanges from 1987 trade flows. Changes in imports, exports. demand and supply for each country are also reported, to give some
18
indication of welfare effects on consumers and suppliers in each country. EinaIly, implications for wool demand can be drawn from the total changes in world apparel imPQrtsand. ~
With the elasticity assumptions given above, the basic trade 'flow effects of phasingQut the ~tFA restrictions on apparel were simulated and are presented below. The basic result$ are reported in Tables 9-12. The sensitivity of thescresults to changes in elasticities is tepOrtedin AppendixC.
Removal 0/ US and Ee apparel quotss The trade flow effects of removing the current quota restrictions in the United Statcsand the European Community on total apparel are presented in Table 9. Overall, world apparel imports
increase by $8183 million (19.2 per cent) while the world demand for apparel increases by $5583 million (3.9 per cent). The US and BC apparel imports increase by $6197 miUion(36 per ce:nt) and $2109 million (15 per cent) respectively. However, one"(third of these import increases substitute for the reduction in demand for domestic apparel, resulting ina net increase in the demand for total apparel of $4050 I~llion (11.3 per cent) in the United States and $1468 million (5 per cent) in the European Community.
The phasing out of quotas prompts growth in trade of all apparel. but the growth opportunity for each apparel by fibre type varies. The breakdown of trade flow changes by fibre types is shown in Table 10. V/orld trade in wool, cotton and man·made fibre apparel incxeases by 9.6, 16.3 and 25.5 per cent, respectively. Taking domestic consumption adj!istment into consideration. world demand for woolt cotton and man-made fibre apparel are estimated to
increase by 1.2, 3.5 and 5.S per cent, respectively.
The differences in growth rates for the different fibre types occur for two reasons. One is that
US quotas on man-made fibre apparel are more restrictive than those for the other two fibre
types. The other is that the United States and the European Community depend heavily on the European Community for their wool apparel supplies. but import the majority of their cotton and man-made fibre apparel from developing countries. While the removal of their quotas would increase US and Be apparel imports of all types from developing counbies, the magnitudes of their increases in import demand for wool apparel would be affected by a significant reduction in purchases of Ee produced wool apparel.
UbJer the elasticity assumptions of Table 6, the average import prices of wool apparel in the United States and the European Community decrease by 11.7 per cent and 5.9 per cent, respectively resulting in 15 per cent and 10 per cent increases in the volumes of wool apparel they import. Globally, the volume of wool apparel imports increases by 7.6 per cent. Taking into account domestic consumption, the removal of the US and Be quotas reduces average

APPENDIXC
Sensitivity oj Trade Flow Estimates to Alternative Elasticity Assumptions
Although the effects which the phasing out of the MFA would have on trade flows. imports L"ld demand depend in largemeaswe on trade structure, they might be sensidve to the assumed levels of various elasticities. The sensitivities of the results have been tested by a series of exp~riments reported in Tables C.l and C.2.
For purposes of comparison, the results from the base set of elasticities are reported as assumption I. Under asswnption II, the price elasticity of demand for all apparel in each country is increased to .. 1.1. Under assumptions ill and IV the elasticities of substitution between country pairs and between apparel pairs are increased by half, to 3.75 and 2.25 respectively.
Table C.I reports the import and demand effects of removing quotas in the US and the EC under these alternative assumptions. In general, the results show that the estimates obtained under the three alternative assumptions are higher but still very close to those under tbe base assumptions. The estimates of values of total imports and demand under assumption IV are only about 1 per cent and 3 per cent, respectively, higber than those under the base assumptions. This suggests that increasing the assumed elasticities of substitution between different types of apparel does not make much difference to the simulation results. Although increasing the assumed elasticity of substitution between countries by 50 per cent increases the estimate of total chrutge in imports by around 18 per cent, the increase in change of total consumption is only 4 per cent. A comparison between assumptions I and II reveals that changing the assumed price elasticity of demand for apparel from inelastic (..().9) to elastic (-1.1) increases total purchase of apparel by 13 per cent while increasing world imports by 7 per cent. In table C.2 the pattern of sensitivities is broadly similar to the above.
