Abstract

Purpose This study aims to empirically investigate the potential impact of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) on US textile and apparel manufacturing. Design/methodology/approach This study adopts the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) computable general equilibrium model based on the latest GTAP9 database. Findings The findings of the study suggest that: the “yarn-forward” rule will not work effectively in the context of TPP; and the development of Vietnam’s local textile industry is a critical threat to the survival of US textile and apparel (T&A) manufacturing in the long run. Originality/value The findings of the study augment the understanding of the T&A-specific sectoral impact of TPP and address the particular concerns of the US T&A manufacturers with regard to the new business environment and the possible scenarios after the implementation of the agreement.

跨太平洋伙伴关系协定(TPP)对美国纺织和服装制造业的影响

本研究旨在实证研究跨太平洋伙伴关系协定(TPP)对美国纺织服装制造业的潜在影响。本研究采用基于GTAP最新数据库的全球贸易分析项目(GTAP)可计算一般均衡模型。研究结果表明:“纱线前进”规则在TPP背景下无法有效发挥作用;从长远来看，越南当地纺织工业的发展对美国纺织和服装制造业的生存构成了严重威胁。本研究的结果增强了对TPP对并购行业影响的理解，并解决了美国并购制造商对新商业环境和协议实施后可能出现的情况的特殊担忧。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
