“…The positive trade effect in the form of trade creation for the consumers is also identified under the India-Korea CEPA, where consumer surplus is more in Korea as compared to India. However, in terms of revenue loss, Korea's loss is around twice that of India (Ahmed, 2010). Hosein and Khadan (2011) found that the CARICOM-Canada FTA would lead to a loss in welfare of around USD 400 million for participating countries like Trinidad, Tobago and Jamaica.…”

PurposeRegional comprehensive economic partnership (RCEP) is understood as the world's largest trading bloc given its contribution to the world output (30%). The mega trade bloc brings together 15 countries of East Asia, Southeast Asia and Oceania to eliminate tariff and non-tariff barriers in goods and services trade. The study suggests the importance of sector specific reforms for Malaysia to strengthen domestic capability.Design/methodology/approachThe analytical framework constructs upon the partial equilibrium analysis and uses WITS SMART simulations.FindingsThe study finds that Malaysia's elimination of tariffs under the RCEP will cause a surge in imports from developed member countries of RCEP like Australia, South Korea and Japan. The study also finds a trade diversion in countries such as India. The empirical results establishes that RCEP would further strengthen intra-ASEAN trade.Research limitations/implicationsThe study explores select sectors of the manufacturing industry in Malaysia.Practical implicationsThe implementation of RCEP would impact the manufacturing sector immensely, especially in sectors like electrical machinery and equipment and inorganic chemicals, which are two of the major trading commodities of the Malaysian economy.Social implicationsAny trade agreement has a larger impact on the society. It may raise income, boost the consumer preferences and create or erode consumer welfare. The study reports the consumer welfare effect of the implementation of RCEP in Malaysia.Originality/valueThe study is the first attempt to do a partial equilibrium analysis for the electrical machinery and equipment sector and inorganic chemicals sector of Malaysia using both aggregated and disaggregated data at HS two-digit and HS six-digit level.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the potential economic effects of the proposed Bangladesh-India free trade agreement (FTA). Design/methodology/approach – The authors have used the computable general equilibrium (CGE) analysis of Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) database. The analysis highlights the possible costs and benefits of the two nations within three different scenarios. Under Scenario I all bilateral import tariffs between Bangladesh and India are removed; Scenario II represents the setting where Bangladesh cuts its all tariffs by 75 and in Scenario III Bangladesh cuts tariffs by 50 percent. India cuts all their tariffs by 100 percent in all three scenarios. Findings – The findings indicate that India may gain more in terms of welfare and real GDP via the improved terms of trade while Bangladesh is going to have welfare loss, but if Bangladesh is able to make a preferential FTA like Scenario III with India its welfare, real GDP and exports will be increased substantially. Originality/value – This paper is the first-ever attempt to estimate the effect of the proposed Bangladesh-India FTA using CGE analysis of GTAP database version 7.
