討論提要

this paper is concerned with sustainability of free-trade agreements(FTA). FTA sustainability is influenced by (1) governments’ valuations of political contributions, (2)discount factors,  (3)the lobbying position of the specific-interest groups in the intra-industry trade sectors (4)the sectoral coverage of the FTA.

結論

under certain conditions, the FTA under protectionist lobbying could be more sustainable than the FTA under no political pressure. The lobby-supported FTA is more sustainable than the lobby-opposed FTA and the FTA under no political pressure. Multisector trade enhances FTA sustainability
