Asian Regionalism and Its Effects on Trade in the 1980s and 1990s - Ramon Clarete - Paperback

Outlines the major preferential trade agreements (PTAs) in Asia & other regions & reviews trends in trade flows. Uses a model to estimate the effect of various PTAs on trade flows within & across membership groupings as well as the effect of PTAs on members' trade with Asian countries. On the basis of these estimates, the report is able to categorize 11 major PTAs into those that increase intrabloc trade at the expense of their respective imports from the rest of the world; those that expand their respective trade among their members without reducing their trade with nonmembers; & those that reduce trade with nonmembers without significant changes in intrabloc trade. Also shows that PTAs have augmented trade in Asia.Clarete, Ramon is the author of 'Asian Regionalism and Its Effects on Trade in the 1980s and 1990s - Ramon Clarete - Paperback' with ISBN 9780756737061 and ISBN 0756737060.
