Abstract

This paper examines the welfare implications of an existence of free trade agreements (FTAs) and customs unions (CUs) in the GATT system, in the presence of cross-foreign ownership among countries. In particular, two GATT regimes are analyzed: a pure GATT regime without any regional free trade agreements, and modified GATT regime with either an FTA or a CU. This paper argues that, when foreign ownership exists significantly between the countries, no countries in the GATT have an incentive to form a regional trade agreement before they participate in multilateral tariff negotiations.
