On sunk costs and trade liberalization in applied general equilibrium
Mercenier, Jean; Schmitt, Nicolas (1995)
We argue that the rationalization gains often predicted by static applied general equilibrium models with imperfect competition and scale economies are artificially boosted by an unrealistic treatment of fixed costs. We introduce sunk costs into one such model calibrated with real-world data. We show how this changes the oligopoly game in a way significant enough to affect, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the outcome of a trade liberalization exercise.

Working Paper
A theory of North-South customs unions
Fernandez-Arias, Eduardo; Spiegel, Mark M. (1995)
We examine the implications of a North-South trade accord where investments in the Southern partner nation exhibit country risk. Our analysis demonstrates that treatment of foreign investment, inducing additional foreign capital inflows. Moreover, the impact of the accord on Southern credibility is directly increasing in the gains from trade between the two partner countries. We also demonstrate that the presence of sovereign risk changes the tradeoffs between trade creation and diversion, enhancing the potential for welfare-increasing trade-diverting North-South regional trade accords.

The new regionalism and Asia: impact and options
Frankel, Jeffrey A.; Wei, Shang-Jin (1995)
New regional initiatives abound, both outside Asia and within. Free Trade Areas in the West - notably NAFTA, its possible enlargement into an FTA of the Americas, and the European Union - have implications for Asia. Asian manufacturers will experience trade diversion, especially in textiles and apparel. Balancing such losses is the likelihood of gains from higher import demand caused by stronger economic growth in the Americas and Europe. ; New estimates of the gravity model of bilateral trade confirm the presence of implicit or de facto trade blocs in Asia and the Pacific, as in Europe ...
