Trade in Services: Does Gravity Hold? (2006, unknown): “Crawford and Fiorentino (2005) show that only 17 per cent of FTAs notified to the WTO include some commitments to services trade liberalisation.”
Recent Regional Agreements: Why so Many, Why so Much Variance in Form, Why Coming so Fast, and Where are They Headed? (2008, unknown): “Crawford and Fiorentino (2005) document this growth in notifications in the GATT from 0 between 1943 and 1957, and calculate that by 2008, if RTAs, at a negotiation, proposal, or actually signed (but not yet notified) stage are included the number of agreements in force will grow to 300.”
