This study analyzes the effects of a technical barrier to trade containing phthalate restrictions on Turkey’s imported footwear. To this end, a log-linear trend model is estimated to identify the value and quantity impacts on trade flows from the European Union (EU) and non-EU countries by using monthly data over the last decade. The results suggest that the policy measure has a promoting effect on the footwear import value of non-EU countries, while it does not matter for the import from EU countries. On the other hand, the impact of the measure on the import quantity cannot be observed from the regression results for EU and non-EU countries or both.
