Abstract
Expanding trade with East Asia’s “Big Three” economic giants—the People’s Republic of
China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea—offers a new potential source of growth for ASEAN.
The central objective of this paper is to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the different
permutations of ASEAN’s free trade agreements (FTAs) with the Big Three. The two types of
analyses both suggest that an ASEAN+3 FTA would deliver the largest economic benefits for
the region.
