一般均衡分析在自由贸易区研究中的应用

General Equilibrium: An Analytic Instrument for Study of Free Trade Areas

正在建设中的“中国-东盟自由贸易区”是完全由发展中国家组成的经济集团,成员国产业结构相似,生产技术水平相当,国际分工不显著。这样的自由贸易区对区内贸易量的推动作用有其特殊性。文章尝试用一般均衡分析方法,依据比较优势理论和区域经济一体化理论,论述中国-东盟自由贸易区的建立将给其成员带来“双优势贸易效应”,从而为我国参与地区经济一体化,拓展地区市场,实现“多赢”的地区合作提供理论依据。

The China-ASEAN Free Trade Area （CAFTA） under construction consisting of only the developing countries will form an economic bloc. The industrial structure and technology of the CAFTA members are similar and their international labor division is unremarkable. The paper attempts to discuss the “twin-edges trade effects” of CAFTA by employing the analytic instrument of General Equilibrium and on the basis of comparative advantage principle and international economic integration so as to provide theoretic basis for China to participate in the regional economic integration and market expansion for achieving multilateral-win cooperation.
