We estimate that world income would rise by $295 billion per year on the TPP track, by $766 billion if both tracks are successful, and by $1.9 trillion if the tracks ultimately combine to yield region-wide free trade. The tracks are competitive initially but their strategic implications appear to be constructive: they generate incentives for enlargement and mutual progress and, over time, for region-wide consolidation. The "21st century" template of the TPP would be especially productive because it is likely to offer opportunities for the leading sectors of both emerging-market and advanced economies. An ambitious TPP template would generate greater gains from integration than less demanding alternatives, but it will be harder to sell to China and other key regional partners as the TPP evolves toward wider agreements. The crucial importance of Asia-Pacific integration argues for an early conclusion of the TPP negotiations, but without jeopardizing the prospects for region-wide or even global agreements based on it in the future"--Provided by publisher. 606 $aFree trade$zAsia 606 $aFree trade$zPacific Area 607 $aAsia$xEconomic integration 607 $aPacific Area$xEconomic integration 615 0$aFree trade 615 0$aFree trade 676 $a337.11 701 $aPetri$b Peter A.$f1946-$0121852 701 $aPlummer$b Michael G.$f1959-$0300750 701 $aZhai$b Fan$01720016 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810140503321 996 $aThe Trans-Pacific Partnership and Asia-Pacific integration$94118306 997 $aUNINA
