The US–China Phase One trade deal: An economic analysis of the managed trade agreement
使用多国开放经济动态一般均衡模型,量化中美第一阶段不对称管理贸易协定的影响,发现该协定对美国有正面影响、对中国有负面影响,并对未直接受影响的第三国产生负向贸易转移溢出效应。
Abstract In light of the recent tit‐for‐tat trade dispute between China and the US, interest in quantifying the effects of the so‐called Phase One agreement has risen. To this end, this paper quantifies the impact of the asymmetric managed trade agreement using such a multi‐country open‐economy dynamic general equilibrium model. Besides assessing the direct implications for China and the US, this paper analyzes trade diversion effects. The model‐based analysis finds noticeable positive (negative) impacts of the agreement for the US (China) as well as negative spillover effects for countries not directly affected by the managed trade deal due to trade diversion. The impact of possible future trade agreements is also examined.
