“…Cororaton and Orden (2015) Several papers make additional assumptions about NTB cuts (see for example Burfisher et al, 2014, Ciuriak and Xiao, 2014, Cororaton and Orden, 2015, Nguyen et al, 2015, Strutt et al, 2015, Cabinet Secretariat (2015, and Disdier et al, 2016, among others). NTB shocks are designed as removal of tariff equivalents and/or shocks to import augmenting technological change, and range from cuts of 20 percent to complete removal.…”

“…Hence, studies that consider more limited tariff cuts scenarios either in terms of depth (such as Ciuriak andXiao, 2014, andCororaton andOrden, 2015) or breadth of coverage (such as Burfisher et al, 2014, Durongkaveroj et al, 2014 There are other more subtle effects at work with respect to simulation design too. For example, in general, the higher the degree of aggregation, especially on the commodity side, the lower the estimated welfare gains.…”

“…While agreements that are in place at the time of the base year will be accounted for, those that were agreed (or will be implemented) at a later date are generally not unless the modeler explicitly attempts to do so. While a few do (Cheong and Tongzon, 2013, Ciuriak and Xiao, 2014, Itakura and Lee, 2012, Petri et al, 2012) most do not. Even in those that do make adjustments, it is difficult to account for the myriad of agreements, and so only a selected few are figured into the calculations.…”

“…In fact, as noted by Ciuriak and Xiao (), Canada's main worry about the TPP negotiations was its potential preference erosion in the US market under NAFTA. This preference erosion would happen whether or not Canada joined the TPP negotiations.…”

“…This preference erosion would happen whether or not Canada joined the TPP negotiations. ‘However, being outside the deal also means additional preference erosion and thus newfound competitive disadvantage in the markets of Pacific Rim countries that are inside the deal' (Ciuriak and Xiao, , p. 13). Hence, Canada joining the TPP negotiations was, to a great extent, a result of the possible trade diversion effects of the TPP, which it tried to mitigate by joining the bandwagon.…”

This article argues that Canada's trade policy developments after NAFTA have been influenced by the stalemate in multilateral liberalization and the discriminative nature of preferential trade agreements (PTAs) that have proliferated during the last 25 years. First, the impasse in the Doha Round of negotiations made Canada consider regional and bilateral options of opening up new markets as an alternative to multilateral liberalization. Second, the discriminative nature of PTAs accelerated the process of Canada's regional and bilateral liberalization, as PTAs have diverted trade away from Canada, prompting it to pursue its own preferential trade initiatives to level the playing field for Canadian businesses.
