PILLAR 3: Type of questions APTIAD seeks to answer

APTI AD

  • Has intra-regional trade intensified post-

formation of a preferential agreement?

  • Can we identify those sectors in which

members have comparative advantage?

  • Can we identify those sectors that might be

significant sources of trade diversion?

APTI AD PILLAR 3: Limitations

  • Indices with trade statistics can help to

understand what is happening to trade patterns within RTAs, but they cannot demonstrate causality

  • Should be used as a tool in identifying

potential areas of progress / concern for more in depth analysis using

– Econometric and general equilibrium modelling approaches

APTI AD WAY FORWARD: secretariat proposal

for consideration of its members and associate members

  • Performance monitoring and tracking over time

for trade agreements of the ESCAP region requires a commonly shared view on an appropriate set of indicators

  • Set up under ESCAP auspices in collaboration

with WTO and UNCTAD or ADB, as appropriate, a Working Group of experts and government representatives
