    Can Trade Agreements Curtail Trade Creation and Prevent Trade Diversion?
    in Review of International Economics , Volume 23, Issue 2, May 2015 ,  2015 ,  221-238
    This paper investigates how pre-existing preferential trade agreements (PTAs) dilute the trade creation effect and shield the trade diversion effect of new PTAs. Countries having pre-existing PTAs enjoy smaller gains in intra-bloc trade because of the dilution effect and experience smaller losses or even gains in extra-bloc trade because of the shielding effect. The findings support the proposition that PTAs could be used to fend off future trade diversion.
