IDEAs Working Paper Series
Regional Trade Agreements and Improved Market Access in Developed Countries:
A Reality Check and Possible Policy Alternatives
Parthapratim Pal Paper no. 03/2008

This paper investigates issues related to motivation, market access and costs in the context of Regional Trade Agreements ( RTAs), and tries to understand whether there is any clear pattern between signing of RTAs and increase in market share for developed countries. It also analyzes the possible costs a developing country will have to bear to gain the actual preferential market access. This paper concentrates on North-South RTAs, i.e., RTAs between developed and developing countries.
