Abstract

In this paper, some major modifications are made to the existing GTAP structure and database to incorporate a long-run closure in which income earned on endowment commodities accrues to the owners of those endowments. This closure assumes that in the long run all economies grow at a common steady-state rate. In order to ensure valid comparative statics a steady-state database is created in which all economies grow at this common steady-state rate. Once these modifications have been made, the long-run effects of Asia-Pacific trade liberalisation are simulated. It is found that foreign ownership of assets does have a significant effect on the projected outcome of Asia-Pacific trade liberalisation.
