| description |
This paper builds on theoretical
predictions that show that gains from regional integration
are unevenly distributed between resource rich and poor
countries. It explores the effects of different integration
schemes in the Middle East and North Africa. The results
suggest that within the Pan Arab Free Trade Agreement, there
is significant trade creation for resource poor countries
associated with regional integration, and no evidence of
trade diversion. In resource rich countries, however, there
is evidence of pure trade diversion in both
resource-rich/labor-abundant countries and
resource-rich/labor-importing countries. This underscores
the idea that regional integration can help to spread the
benefits of unevenly distributed resource wealth among the
region's economies. |
