Abstract
We develop necessary conditions for welfare improving reforms. We show that our work may be useful in evaluating the desirability of preferential trad ing areas (PTAs) and reforming Article XXIV of GATT. The conditions that no country necessarily loses from world trade reform are also derived. (C) 20 00 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved. JEL classification: F0; F1.
