Especially in Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan, exports increased dramatically both in absolute terms and as a percentage of GNP. In the 1980's, however, preferential trading arrangements (PTAs) began to emerge as significant factors affecting world trade. This volume contains thirteen papers that analyze the tensions between multilateral trading systems and preferential trade arrangements and the impact of these tensions on East Asia. The first four chapters introduce PTAs conceptually and focus on the unique political issues that these agreements involve. The next five essays present more direct empirical analyses of existing PTAs and their economic effects, primarily in East Asia. The last four papers concentrate on the outcomes of individual East Asian nations' trading policies in specific instances of preferential agreements. 410 0$aNBER-East Asia Seminar on Economics (Series) ;$vv. 6. 606 $aInternational economic integration$vCongresses 606 $aInternational economic relations$vCongresses 606 $aRegionalism$zEast Asia$vCongresses 606 $aTrade blocs$zEast Asia$vCongresses 607 $aEast Asia$xForeign economic relations$vCongresses 610 $ataiwan, singapore, korea, hong kong, economics, economy, gnp, exports, preferential trading arrangements, pta, east asia, regionalism, nafta, mexico, growth triangle, free trade, asean, osaka agenda, apec, finance, nonfiction, ec, efta, integration, capital markets, participation, labor, social policy, business, profit, international. 615 0$aInternational economic integration 615 0$aInternational economic relations 615 0$aRegionalism 615 0$aTrade blocs 676 $a382.9 676 $a382/.91 676 $a382/.91 701 $aIto?$b Takatoshi$f1950-$0116437 701 $aKrueger$b Anne O$0228886 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 712 12$aNBER-East Asia Seminar on Economics$d(6th :$f1995 :$eSeoul, Korea) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777020103321 996 $aRegionalism versus multilateral trade arrangements$93821876 997 $aUNINA
