I stated as follows in my paper, titled "The effects of energy and commodity prices on commodity output in a three-factor, two-good general equilibrium trade model". "Specifically, the strengthening (resp. reduction) of import restrictions can increase (resp. decrease) the commodity output of exportables, if capital and labor, domestic factors, are economy-wide complements. This seems paradoxical." This in only theoretical. Can this happen? This paper was rejected by first class journal! But referees did not criticize on this point. Strange! According to one referee, the model is too simple! According to another, it is technically fine!
Import restrictions removal can affect the exportables because of increase in the imports of substitutables.
It depends on the commodities exportables. import restriction reduction can only affect the output of some commodities but not all commodities. Considering absolute and comparative advantage of the type of commodities being produced by a country which reduces its import restrictions. To use inferential statistics on import restrictions reduction can decrease commodities output of exportable can be wrong .
it depends broooo, if that import become raw material for goods to be exported, it can reduce
