This book investigates what these trade negotiations could mean to the world economy. Petri, Plummer, and Zhai estimate that world income would rise by $295 billion per year on the TPP track, by $766 billion if both tracks are successful, and by $1.9 trillion if the tracks ultimately combine to yield region-wide free trade. They find that the tracks are competitive initially but their strategic implications appear to be constructive: the agreements would generate incentives for enlargement and mutual progress and, over time, for region-wide consolidation. The authors conclude that the crucial importance of Asia-Pacific integration argues for an early conclusion of the TPP negotiations, but without jeopardizing the prospects for region-wide or even global agreements based on it in the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Petri, Michael Plummer, Fan Zhai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 088132664X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780881326642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peterson Institute for International Economic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Peter Petri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926749970687,"sku":"9780881326642","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8b1c3da9-a173-4e41-b90d-0e86ab4030c6.jpg?v=1681084801","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-trans-pacific-partnership-and-asia-pacific-peter-petri-9780881326642","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
