Quantitative assessments of intra- and extra-regional effects on welfare, trade and output are offered. When both trade facilitation and endogenously determined productivity are included in the FTA scenarios, Singapore, other ASEAN countries and China would be able to realize relatively large welfare gains, while the welfare effects on the EU and North America are negligible. The trade and output effects on the latter two regions are also relatively small, with the notable exception of crops, other than rice, in North America. 2012-03-30T07:29:10Z 2012-03-30T07:29:10Z 2009 Journal Article Journal of Asian Economics 10490078 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/4673 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article Singapore China
