dc.description.abstractThe paper explores an economy’s incentive for entering a free trade agreement (FTA) rather than anticipating a global trade regime. Using basic game theories, it shows that in order for an equilibrium number of FTA participants to be obtained, the negative impact of FTAs should be significant. Globally, the side effects of FTAs—centered on noodle bowl effects—could contribute to inducing a global free trade regime and also increase the viability of a global trade regime once established. In order for an equilibrium number of FTA participants to be obtained, the negative impact of FTAs should be significant.en_US
