国外自由贸易协定研究新进展

在国际经济学的传统视野中,自由贸易协定曾经一度占据贸易自由化研究领域的核心地位。但当第二波区域主义抬头之时,传统的理论范式和方法论面对区域贸易模式变化、双边贸易协定增加、非成员国福利损益、国内政治因素制约以及多形式一体化共存等新现象的解释,显得无能为力。文章就自由贸易协定研究方面的新问题,对当前学界的主要观点与研究思路进行梳理,并从理论研究与经验实证两个方面对国外主要研究成果加以整理,以期对该领域的进一步研究有所裨益。

New Development of Researches on Free Trade Agreement

As the traditional issues in international economics, free trade agreements once became the core of the research of trade liberalization. When the second wave of regionalism rises, traditional methods seem powerless in the face of regional trade pattern change, an increase of bilateral trade agreements, profit and loss of non-members, domestic political factors, co-existence of various integration forms and so on. This paper reviews and sorts out the current main viewpoints and new research results on free trade agreements in terms of the theory and empirical research to help future research.
