摘要

竞争政策是贸易自由化的一个重要方面。然而,在审查特惠贸易协定(pta)时,一种主要的贸易自由化政策工具,竞争条款在这些条约中并没有统一分布。如何解释pta中竞争条款设计的变化?借鉴国际机构理性设计的见解,并将其与条约批准和政策扩散文献相结合,我确定了竞争条款被纳入pta的五个主要因果机制。在评估它们时,我采用了一系列操作化技术来捕获所建议的机制。对1960-2015年期间319个pta的条约级分析为大多数假设关系提供了强有力的支持。本研究将国际政治经济学文献的理论框架与法学和经济学的理论框架相结合,展示了政治学思维对现实世界国际立法的效用。

Designing Competition Clauses in Preferential Trade Agreements
Abstract Competition policy is one important aspect of trade liberalization. However, when examining preferential trade agreements (PTAs), a major type of policy tools to liberalize trade, competition provisions are revealed not to be uniformly distributed across these treaties. What explains the variation in the design of competition clauses in PTAs? Borrowing insights from the rational design of international institutions and combining them with those from treaty ratification and policy diffusion literatures, I identify five major causal mechanisms through which competition provisions are incorporated into PTAs. In evaluating them, I employ a range of operationalization techniques to capture the proposed mechanisms. A treaty-level analysis of 319 PTAs over the period 1960–2015 lends strong and robust support to most of the hypothesized relationships. By integrating theoretical frameworks across international political economy literatures with that from law and economics scholarship, this study demonstrates the utility of political science thinking to the real-world international law-making.
