PTAs directly affect a country's economy by altering its flows of trade and investment. Primarily through trade, PTAs indirectly affect other aspects of a country's economy-such as productivity, output, and employment. As of August 2016, the United States had established 14 PTAs with 20 of its trading partners. This report examines the economic literature on trade and PTAs and summarizes that literature's findings on how trade and PTAs have affected the U.S. economy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Penny Hill Press,Congressional Budget Office\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1542942845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781542942843\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.07d","brand":"Penny Hill Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623232549119,"sku":"9781542942843","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4dc8187e-5a3a-46d1-88af-052a9d7b1e39.jpg?v=1780431662","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-preferential-trade-agreements-affect-penny-hill-press-9781542942843","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
