“…Burfisher et al [6] also showed that farm sector outputs decrease in Japan and increase in Australia, New Zealand, and the US. Compared with the results of RCEP [18] and FTAAP [19], the impact of the TPP on the paddy rice sector output is smaller than that of the RCEP and the FTAAP. Table 6 shows the impact of the TPP on GHG emissions.…”

“…The trade liberalization scenarios for the mega-FTAs are the complete removal of all import tariffs among each FTA member. Among the four Asia-Pacific mega-FTAs (TPP, FTAAP [19], RCEP [18], and JCKFTA), only RCEP shows a decrease in GHG emissions. This is mainly because of the large decrease in CO 2 emissions from the Indian electricity sector.…”

“…To compare our results with those of other studies of mega-FTAs, we use the same method, data, and trade liberalization scenario as Akahori and Yamamoto [18] to measure the potential impact on GHG emissions of trade liberalization under the TPP. First, the GTAP model is used to estimate the changes in the economic variables of interest, such as the levels of sectoral fuel consumption, caused by the TPP.…”

“…This table is adjusted to include Lee and Itakura [10] and to amend Table 14 in Burfisher et al [6]. Several previous studies have analyzed the environmental impact of trade liberalization on GHG emissions (e.g., Thomassin and Mukhopadhyay [2]; Gumilang et al [13]; Liu et al [14]; Mukhopadhyay and Thomassin [15]; Saunders et al [16]; Verburg et al [17]; and Akahori and Yamamoto [18,19]). Akahori and Yamamoto [18,19] assessed the impact of the RCEP and the FTAAP on GHG emissions, respectively.…”

Abstract:The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is one of the proposed mega-free trade agreements. While several previous studies have measured the economic impact of the trade liberalization resulting from the TPP, the TPP may have not only a very large economic impact, but also a significant environmental impact, such as changes in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the debate over TPP and GHG emissions by asking the following question: Will the TPP increase or decrease GHG emissions? We estimate the potential impact on GHG emissions changes caused by the TPP using the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model, and the GTAP CO 2 and non-CO 2 emissions databases. Our results suggest that the TPP is likely to increase the total amount of GHG emissions in the 12 TPP member countries, as well as global emissions. The main reason for increasing TPP member and global GHG emissions is non-CO 2 emissions growth in Australia and the US.

The present evolutionary phase in international economic and political relations involves the analysis of a "new globalization" and the profound reshaping of multipolarity. This article examines the fundamental elements of the newly emerging globalization morphology from a critical standpoint on the key aspects of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). It aims to discern why such free trade agreements are significant expressions and imprints of the unfolding new multipolarity. It focuses on crucial dimensions of such international socioeconomic agreements for deepened global cooperation and development. For the analysis, we distinguish between the structures of the previous globalization regime and some evolutionary dimensions of the gradual transition to a "new globalization" (e.g., the RCEP). We contend that such agreements enrich regional economic and social integration and can expand globalized transnational flows, thereby boosting efficient cooperation for reconstructing future dynamics of international economic development.
