Abstract: A Free Trade Agreement between Malaysia and Pakistan, formally known as Closer Economic Partnership Agreement (MPCEPA) took place in 2007. We analyze the trade flows of 31 industries that trade between the two countries in order to identify industries that benefit from the agreement in Pakistan and those that benefit in Malaysia. Combining the results from estimating the linear and nonlinear trade balance models for each industry, we find significant evidence of relatively more industries benefitting from the agreement in Pakistan.
