This note scrutinizes the excuses by the US for not improving market access for all least developed countries (LDCs). Rigorous empirical research suggests that opening the US market to all LDCs could provide significant benefits to these countries at little or no cost to American workers. Also, Asian LDCs compete more with other Asian exporters, especially China, than they do with American producers, further limiting the negative impact of increased US market access.
