Abstract

Many commentators purport to use the Kemp-Wan Theorem to discuss the effects of region integration schemes on non-member countries. and to operationalize the theorem in terms the share of member countries' imports coming from non-members. I show that Kemp at Wan say nothing about changes in non-member welfare and that the latter is more close related to non-members' imports than to their shares of members' markets. I suggest th a new approach to this issue is required.
