With the rapid development of global trade, TBTs have already become the most important barriers to trade suffered by China. Stringent technical requirements drain the exporters´ enthusiasm, and impede the technical innovation and market competition. We focus on the TBTs effects at the technical level, building theoretical models to analyze the short-run effects of new issued technical requirements in the prefect competitive market. This paper is intended to provide a new perspective for government authorities and export enterprises to deal with TBTs.
