Selecting Partner Countries for Preferential Trade Agreements: Experimental Evidence from Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Vietnam 

9/5/2016

 
Here.

Preferential trade agreements (PTAs) are the most rapidly growing form of trade liberalization in the global economy. In contrast to the World Trade Organization, PTAs discriminate among member countries raising the question which countries are preferred partners. Existing research focuses on the country level, however, we know very little about what types of countries citizens prefer for PTAs. To account for the multidimensionality of partner choice, we develop a corresponding theoretical framework and rely on conjoint experiments embedded in three national surveys in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Vietnam. The results show that, despite differing country contexts, citizens in all three countries opt for similar partners.
