However, much ambiguity surrounds the labour market effects of NTMs, as conditions of the labour market are somewhat contextual. With a specific focus on the highly regulated food processing sector in Malaysia, this paper examines the impact of reductions in ad valorem equivalents of NTMs on employment and wages using a computable general equilibrium model. The simulations indicate positive gains to employment following reductions in NTMs in the short and long run. In the long run, employment gains and wage losses are observed for the unskilled group. The findings justify the need to complement the NTM reform with other mechanisms to address the likely rise in low-quality jobs in the food processing sector. � 2020, Indian Society of Labour Economics.
