Trade liberalization and employment linkages in the Pacific Basin

In: The developing economies, Band 33, Heft 2, S. 155-184

Abstract

According to the authors, the Asia-Pacific region is the most dynamic region of the world economy. In the past three decades, this region has achieved growth rates that were considerably higher than those elsewhere. Using a ten-country calibrated general equilibrium (CGE) model, the authors assess the possible effects of the removal of tariffs and non-tariff barriers (NTBs) on Pacific Basin economies. (DÜI-Sen)
