Toward a North American customs union: Rules of origin liberalization matters more than a common external tariff for Canada
This paper shows that the general equilibrium impacts on Canadian GDPandwelfare, of liberalizingNAFTARulesofOrigin (ROO), largely dominate the small effects of adopting a Common North American External Tariff (CET). Therefore, proposals for a North American CU should not be dismissed solely on the basis that a CET would marginally affect Canada while the negotiation process with the U.S. would ...
متن کاملA Simulation Experiment of a Customs Union
Here a numerical simulation model, implemented in Excel, that can be used to expand student understanding of the theory of customs unions is presented. The model allows examination of core customs union issues including trade creation, trade diversion, and the Kemp–Wan theorem. By responding to an experimental assignment that guides them through the simulation, students are able to learn the th...

In the classes of homothetic and quasi-linear preferences, I find conditions that guarantee existence of a trading Nash equilibrium. These conditions imply that the offer curves of the countries are convex to the origin, and thus, the best response function of each country is ...
متن کاملProductivity and Trade Orientation: Turkish Manufacturing Industry before and after the Customs Union

متن کاملEconomic geography with tariff competition

We show that when the transport cost is sufficiently small, tariff competition with firm migration leads to a core-periphery economy, where one of the two countries imposes no tariff in Nash equilibriu...
