A szerzők a kukorica 1996 és 2015 közötti globális exportjának meghatározó tényezőit elemzik gravitációs modell segítségével, különös tekintettel a regionális kereskedelmi megállapodások hatására. A szabadkereskedelmi egyezménybe való belépést általában megelőzi a bilaterális kereskedelmi kapcsolatok felélénkülése. A bilaterális kereskedelem mértéke és a regionális kereskedelmi egyezmény (regional trade agreement, RTA) között kölcsönös pozitív visszacsatolási hatás tapasztalható. A közös RTA-tagság létrejötte után viszont nem azonnal érzékelhető annak kereskedelemnövelő hatása, szignifikáns pozitív kapcsolat csak nyolcéves késleltetés esetén tapasztalható. A vizsgálat eredményei arra utalnak, hogy a globalizáció következményei gyengíthetik a szabadkereskedelmi megállapodások hatásait.

Since the formation of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), African countries envisage regional integration to enhance trade among themselves. This effort was preceded by the formation of the sub-regional economic groups which serve as building blocks towards a larger integration. Africa Continental Free Trade Agreement (hereinafter AfCFTA) came into force in May 2019.  As per the procedural requirements of the WTO, AfCFTA should be notified either to WTO’s Committee on Trade and Development (CTD) if AfCFTA opts to use enabling clause exception; or it should be notified to the Committee on Regional Trade Agreement if AfCFTA opts to use Article XXIV of GATT/WTO exception. This comment examines under which exception AfCFTA should notify its integration. I argue that it is better for AfCFTA to notify its integration under Article XXIV of GATT/WTO to the Committee on Regional Trade Agreement rather than under enabling clause to the Committee on Trade and Development.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of a regional trade agreement among a group of small island developing states on trade creation and trade diversion. Design/methodology/approach An augmented gravity model and panel data are used to estimate the trade creation and trade diversion effects. The generalized method of moments technique is used to account for possible endogeneity. Country pair and time fixed effects are also included. Findings The regional trade agreement had a positive effect on intra-regional trade creation, but there was no significant diversion of imports from extra-regional trade partners. Practical implications Small developing economies can benefit from regional trade agreements (RTAs) among themselves. The trade diversion effects of such agreements are likely to be limited. Originality/value To the best of authors’ knowledge, this is the only paper which investigates the impact of RTAs among small island developing states.
