Impacts of Japanese FTAs/EPAs: Preliminary Post Evaluation
Open accessAbstract
This paper attempts to provide post evaluation of Japanese EPAs and draw policy implications for future FTAs/EPAs. Our gravity model estimation as well as detailed analysis on trade and actual tariff reduction by EPAs demonstrates that the Japan-Singapore EPA has almost no direct impact on trade since actual reduction of tariffs by the EPA is quite limited. On the other hand, our empirical investigation confirms a certain degree of positive impact of the Japan-Mexico EPA on trade, particularly on the export side, and investment. Several important outcomes of the EPA beyond tariff removal are also revealed.

“Indeed, Ando and Urata (2018) found that high FTA preferential margin, that is, the difference between MFN and FTA tariff rates, leads to high use of FTAs, thus increasing imports in the case of Japan.”

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.
