    Does Deep Integration Promote Trade Development?
    in International Trade Journal , Volume 30, Issue 5 ,  2016 ,  415-433
    Based on the Design of Trade Agreement database, which includes almost all free trade agreements (FTAs) after World War II, this article presents a comprehensive analysis of the development of FTAs. With the increased number of FTAs, more and more clauses in the agreements are focusing on non-tariff trade barriers and the coordination of cross-border measures. This article tests FTAs’ effect on trade. The signing and deepening of FTAs has increased foreign trade, especially in the long run. Furthermore, FTAs have a slightly more significant positive effect on imports than they do on exports.
