Trade Suppression
Trade suppression in Global Commerce Policy
In this regard, trade suppression is: a term introduced by Jacob Viner and popularized by Max Corden. The entries on trade policy are here. It describes the replacement, following the formation of a customs union or a free-trade area, of a cheaper production source outside the union or area by a more expensive source within the newly formed preferential area. The more expensive source would be more competitive because it could benefit from the absence of tariffs. See also trade creation and trade diversion.[1]
