Rc. Gazel, FREE-TRADE AGREEMENTS AND INTERREGIONAL LABOR MIGRATION - THE CASE OFTHE US AND CANADA, The annals of regional science, 30(4), 1996, pp. 373-390
This paper focuses on the different effects that trade policy have on
distinctive regions within a country by modeling the subnational impac
t of the Free Trade Agreement between the U.S. and Canada using an app
lied general equilibrium model. This study incorporates interregional
labor mobility into the model and, by comparing the new results to tho
se measured in the absence of labor migration, shows the importance of
allowing for interregional labor mobility when modeling at the subnat
ional level the effects of nationality of internationally designed pol
icies.
