The Customs Union Issue
Abstract
This text was originally published in 1950 by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. It sets the framework for the contemporary debate over the benefits or otherwise of preferential trading agreements such as the European Union, NAFTA, and APEC. The book developed the concepts of trade creation and diversion in this work as the author pioneered the analysis of the global politics of trade agreements. This revival of this classic work includes an introduction that places this book in the context of the author's intellectual development and the economic and political situation of the post-WWII world. The introduction also traces the reception of the work and discusses its continuing relevance for international economists, political scientists, and historians.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
