摘要

摘要大阿拉伯自由贸易协定（GAFTA）是阿拉伯国家之间的一项区域贸易协定。我们结合文献中的最新进展来研究GAFTA的部分和一般平衡效应。部分均衡估计表明，GAFTA对双边贸易产生了积极而显著的影响，1998年约为40%，在逐步取消关税后为61%。一般均衡分析表明，该协议的福利效应大多可以忽略不计。研究结果强调，阿拉伯国家之间的进一步一体化对于为成员国带来更多福利至关重要。

The Partial and General Equilibrium Effects of the Greater Arab Free Trade Agreement

ABSTRACT The Greater Arab Free Trade Agreement (GAFTA) is a regional trade agreement among the Arab countries. We incorporate recent advances in the literature to investigate the partial and general equilibrium effects of GAFTA. The partial equilibrium estimates suggest that GAFTA had a positive and significant effect on bilateral trade of around 40% in 1998 and 61% after the phasing out of tariffs. The general equilibrium analysis suggests that the welfare effects of the agreement are mostly negligible. The results highlight that deeper integration among the Arab countries is imperative to bring about further welfare benefits to the member states.
