【 摘 要 】

A new database on the barriers faced byforeign suppliers of services has been produced by the WorldBank. Data for 103 countries are available on 11 of the mostimportant services sectors in international trade. Based onthese data and building on the methodology and publicationssupported by the Australian Productivity Commission, thispaper produces estimates of the ad valorem equivalents ofthe barriers for all these sectors and countries. Comparedwith estimates available in the literature that are based onassessments of country- and sector-specific barriers toservices providers, the estimates expand the set of sectorsand more than triple the set of countries for whichestimates of the ad valorem equivalents of the servicesbarriers are available.
