Assessing the Economic Impacts of Free Trade Agreements: A Computable Equilibrium Model Approach K. Abe; 1. The Theoretical Framework and the Simulation Model Adopted1.1. Surveys on the impacts of an FTAFree Trade Agreements (FTAs) have proliferated in East Asia as regional economies rush to catch up with the rest of the world - but what difference do they make? This book answers that question by providing an up-to-date assessment of the quality and impact of FTAs in the region. Featuring a collection of papers originally written for the prestigious Research Institute for Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI) in Tokyo, it presents contemporary analysis and insights into the evolution of recent FTAs.
