title = "Tariff escalation and EU agricultural imports: An assessment of selected products",
abstract = "This study investigates whether tariff escalation does occur in the EU's agricultural imports for ten selected product groups, for which developing countries are the main source of imports in the Union. Key findings are that tariff escalation does occur, but not for all ten product categories selected for this study. Further, the empirical analysis shows no strong evidence of a unambiguous link between the level of tariffs and imports: high (or low) import tariffs do not correspond much with low (or high) imports. At the same time, data point at a positive impact of the EBA agreement on less developed countries' exports to the EU since tariffs have been eliminated in 2002.",
