摘要：
This paper introduces a so-called "Comprehensive Tariff Index" (CTI) that aims to measure the degree of trade openness of an economy based on the relative performance of its tariff complexity against those of other economies. By considering factors such as average tariffs, tariff dispersion, and tariff gap, the index provides a more comprehensive assessment of the challenges faced by both developing and developed economies. By utilizing the index, policymakers can make informed decisions, enhance market access, and foster a transparent and predictable trading system that supports global integration and economic growth.
