Third-country effects on the formation of free trade agreements (2010, unknown): “…Staiger (2004) obtain the "concession erosion" e¤ect using a perfectly competitive generalequilibrium model, while we show the same result in a standard Cournot setting (see Krishna, 1998; Freund, 2000; Ornelas, 2005; Saggi, 2006; Goyal and Joshi, 2006 for other FTA studies using Cournot models).”
Endogenous Free Trade Agreements and the Multilateral Trading System (2005, methodology): “Panagariya and Findlay (1996), assuming that tariffs arise from the allocation of labor into lobbying activities, argue that an FTA—by making lobbying against partners innocuous—reduces the overall demand for labor, thus lowering wages and making lobbying against third countries cheaper.”
Regional trade agreements: blessing or burden? (2009, unknown): “Ornelas (2005c), in turn, proposes an oligopolistic model analogous to Krishna’s (1998), but with endogenous tariffs and where the weight of profits on the government’s objective function is consistent with non-prohibitive tariffs.17 He obtains results equivalent to those in Ornelas (2005b): only…”
Does regionalism affect trade liberalization towards non-members? (2008, background): “This permits us to assess, for example, whether the incentives to alter external tariffs depend on the type of the agreement (FTA or CU).”
A Strategic and Welfare Theoretic Analysis of Free Trade Areas (2004, result): “In independent and related work, Ornelas (2001) obtained a similar result in the context of a reciprocal 17 dumping model in which policymakers also have (domestic) distributional concerns.”
Is the WTO Passé (2015, unknown): “A number of papers have emphasized the likelihood that PTAs rely on substantial trade diversion in order to keep them viable (see, for example, Grossman and Helpman, 1995b, and Krishna, 1998; and see Ornelas, 2005a,b,c for quali cations to this claim).”
