A "New Trade" Theory of GATT/WTO Negotiations

Journal of Political Economy, 2011, vol. 119, issue 1, 122 - 152

Abstract: I suggest a novel theory of GATT/WTO negotiations based on Krugman's "new trade" model. It emphasizes international production relocations and is easy to calibrate to bilateral trade data. Focusing on the major players in recent GATT/WTO negotiations, I find that it implies reasonable noncooperative tariffs as well as moderate gains from GATT/WTO negotiations.
