“…Areerat et al [12] also showed that the real GDP of the US and Peru decrease slightly. Burfisher et al [6], Kawasaki [8], Lee and Itakura [10], Petri et al [11], and Areerat et al [12] also showed that Vietnam has the highest real GDP growth rate.

“…This table is adjusted to include Lee and Itakura [10] and to amend Table 14 in Burfisher et al [6]. Several previous studies have analyzed the environmental impact of trade liberalization on GHG emissions (e.g., Thomassin and Mukhopadhyay [2]; Gumilang et al [13]; Liu et al [14]; Mukhopadhyay and Thomassin [15]; Saunders et al [16]; Verburg et al [17]; and Akahori and Yamamoto [18,19]).…”
