This paper analyzes the trade creation and trade diversion effects of the regional trade agreements (RTAs) in Asia and their effects on intra-regional trade flows using annual trade data for the period 1980-2009. The research will attempt to achieve the following objectives: (a) analyze the major RTAs in Asia and their effects on intra-regional trade flows. (b) use a gravity model to estimate the trade creation and trade diversion effects of various RTAs on trade flows within and across member groups; and (c) measure the effect of RTAs on members' trade with other Asian countries. The findings of this study are, for the most part, consistent with findings of previous studies on the Asian trade flows. The coefficients of real GDP, population, and distance had expected signs and magnitudes in all models estimated.

“…Since policy and other changes in an economic system often have repercussions beyond the sector in which they occur, by linking markets, CGE techniques are effective at capturing the relevant feedback and flow-through effects. CGE techniques have been widely used for ex ante trade policy analysis, and more recently for poverty analysis (for surveys see Scollay and Gilbert 2000;Gilbert and Wahl 2002;Robinson and Thierfelder 2002;and Lloyd and MacLaren 2004).…”

A critical infrastructure component is the transportation network, and there are currently several transportation infrastructure projects in the South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation (SASEC) region, connecting Nepal, eastern India, Bangladesh, and Bhutan. This paper uses computable general equilibrium (CGE) methods to address how these infrastructure developments might affect the broader economy in SASEC, and in particular impact on income distribution and poverty. The paper describes a new CGE model for South Asia, covering India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan, which incorporates modifications to household structure in order to capture the implications of reform for changes in intra-household income. The scenarios that are considered reflect proposed investments in land transport infrast...

“…The findings of Dee et al (1998), Anderson et al (1997), Coyle and Wang (1998), and Scollay and Gilbert (2000), all indicate that agricultural liberalization would account for between 50 and 70 per cent of the total welfare gains available from APEC liberalization. This paper also provides confirmation of this important result.…”
