“…Fourth, Wonnacott and Lutz [1989] argue that, ceteris paribus, since proximity between PTA members increases trade among them, it reduces the extent of trade diversion and increases the benefits of PTAs, a point also made by Deardor ff and Stern [1994]. And fifth, drawing on Jaquemin and Sapir [1991] and on Wonnacott and Lutz [1989], Langhammer [1992] also reaches the same conclusion.…”

This paper examines two issues: 1) the welfare impact of preferential trade agreements (PTAs), and 2) the effect of structural and policy changes on the welfare impact of PTAs. It is shown that, on the import side, the home country loses from a PTA between small countries (and the PTA as a whole loses as well); and the impact of a PTA on home country welfare is worse the higher the level (and share) of imports from the partner country. The latter re s u l t holds both in the small-country and the larg e -c o u n t r y case. The paper also examines the effects on the welfare impact of PTAs of changes in eff i c i e n c y, trade policy, smuggling and rules of origin. It is shown that the impact of form -ing a PTA between small countries in the case of smuggling is ambiguous in general. (JEL Classification: F0, F1)

“…But even if this does not happen, the scope for a welfare improvement These preferences are now seen as of very limited value, see e.g. Langhammer (1992). The Economist (27 June 1992, p. 73) andBhagwati (1993). through an FTA of neighbours is very limited, because, as noted above, in Africa countries are very similarly endowed.…”
