The African growth and opportunity act: an empirical analysis of the possibilities post-2015

Abstract

This report provides an analysis of outcomes of U.S-Africa trade under five categories of post-2015 scenarios. These scenarios look at the trade and income implications of not extending AGOA beyond 2015; expanded product eligibility for AGOA; revisions to the currently eligible countries; and a restructuring of AGOA to resemble the economic partnership agreements (EPAs) of the European Union.
