Global Production Networks and Regional IntegrationSven W. ArndtClaremont Colleges - Robert Day School of Economics and Finance EMPIRICAL METHODS IN INTERNATIONAL TRADE, M. Plummer, ed., Edward Elgar, 2004 Abstract: This paper examines the implications of cross-border production fragmentation in the context of regional integration, using both general- and partial-equilibrium approaches. It shows the conditions under which fragmentation converts a trade-diverting FTA into a trade creating one. It assesses the effect of fragmentation on the balance of payments and the sensitivity of trade flows to exchange-rate changes.
