The Concertina Model, sometimes referred to as the concertina rule, is an international trade model in international economic trade theory as a means of moving away from high-tariffs towards free trade. The model singles-out and disassembles large distortions into smaller ones via legislation or executive policy reform. This is not specific to one form of government of bureaucracy, but in essence "cutting-out the middle man.

  • The Concertina Model, sometimes referred to as the concertina rule, is an international trade model in international economic trade theory as a means of moving away from high-tariffs towards free trade. The model singles-out and disassembles large distortions into smaller ones via legislation or executive policy reform. This is not specific to one form of government of bureaucracy, but in essence "cutting-out the middle man. " After analyzing an economic system and all positive and negative trade effects have been observed, this application of reform can be again applied to further shrink distortions (or sometimes bottlenecks) within the unique system of trade. Highlighted briefly in Dani Rodrik's book One Economics, Many Recipes and Max Corden's textbook Trade policy and economic welfare, this model can also be used to remove known perversions from an individual state's trade policy. Free trade is attained when all distortions have been shrunk to such an extent as to become nullified within or entirely removed from the system.
