Abstract

Abstract:The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a regionwide free trade agreement (FTA) linking the ten ASEAN economies to their “+5” partners, namely Australia, China, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea. It covers both trade and non-trade related issues ranging from rules of origin and trade facilitation to intellectual property rights and investment. This study examines the likely impact of RCEP on trade alone, taking into account the fact that all its members are already participants in a number of other FTAs. Using latest FTA data from the WTO on imports and exports, this study reveals that tariff reduction under RCEP will erode ASEAN’s trade preferences provided by existing FTA partners, while reallocating import sources of ASEAN countries towards more efficient RCEP partners.

评估区域全面经济伙伴关系对东盟贸易的影响

摘要：区域全面经济伙伴关系协定（RCEP）是东盟十大经济体与澳大利亚、中国、日本、新西兰和韩国“+5”伙伴之间的区域性自由贸易协定。它涵盖了从原产地规则和贸易便利化到知识产权和投资等与贸易和非贸易有关的问题。这项研究仅考察了RCEP对贸易的可能影响，同时考虑到其所有成员国都已经参与了其他一些自由贸易协定。利用世贸组织关于进出口的最新自由贸易协定数据，本研究表明，RCEP下的关税削减将侵蚀东盟现有自由贸易协定伙伴提供的贸易优惠，同时将东盟国家的进口来源重新分配给更高效的RCEP伙伴。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Southeast Asian Economies (JSEAE) is a peer-reviewed multi-disciplinary journal focusing on economic issues in Southeast Asia. JSEAE features articles based on original research, research notes, policy notes, review articles and book reviews, and welcomes submissions of conceptual, theoretical and empirical articles preferably with substantive policy discussions. Original research articles and research notes can be country studies or cross-country comparative studies. For quantitative-oriented articles, authors should strive to ensure that their work is accessible to non-specialists. Submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous peer-review process – two reviewers for original research articles and one reviewer for research notes and policy notes. The journal is published three times a year: April, August and December.
