Summary *

We aim to analyze the impact of Non-Automatic Import Licenses (NAILs) implemented in late 2011 in Argentina on final vehicle assemblers and auto parts manufacturers operating in the country. The declared goal of that policy was to increase local integration of final vehicles, thus reducing the industry trade deficit. Therefore, we examine whether NAILs reduced imports of targeted auto parts. Additionally, we evaluate how they impacted firm overall imports and export performance. We find that, although imports were not severely affected, exports experienced a noticeable reduction, particularly those by auto parts manufacturers. Information provided by the agent in SIGEVA
