Nations. The results are summarized in Table 3 and Figures 4-6. Furthermore, if Z ≥ 4 is an even number, the second-best stable formation is characterized by the equations (A.5) for i = 1,, Z , which implies that each nation forms Z − 2 bilateral coalitions and hence the total number of links is Z (Z − 2) 2 in the second-best coalitional structure. For an odd number: Z ≥ 5 , it is impossible that each nation links up with an identical number of nations. In this case, the second-best stable formation becomes hub-and-spoke structure; i.e., one country is a hub, linking with Z −1 nations, and each spoke nation forms Z − 2 bilateral agreements. The corresponding equilibria can be characterized by the equations (A.4) for the hub nation and (A,5) for the other Z −1 members. In this case, the total number of links is (Z −1)2
Nations. We consider both green R&D agreements in which transfers are allowed and in which transfers are prohibited. Due to its ubiquity in the literature and to its symmetric features, we first examine large economies in the presence of income transfers.
Nations. However, there are some limitations in the use of Gravity Model encountered by different researchers. According to Xxxxx, X. and Xxxxx, M. (2014), using aggregated data in the analysis of a Regional Trade Agreement may not accurately capture its impact to trade since generally the treatment of tariff reduction or elimination differs substantially by product. Xxxxxxxx, K, Xxx, X., and Xxxxxx, F. (2016) also used disaggregated tariff line-level trade data in their paper. Trade agreements’ primary objective is to increase trade between the participants by lowering cost and uncertainty to trade (Xxxxxxx, B. and Xxxxxxx, S., 2015, Xxxxx, V. and Franc, S., 2016). A lot of countries have been experiencing higher exports from joining trade agreements. Example is the case of North African countries who have started exporting commodities such as dairy and vegetables due to trade accords (Hndi, B., Xxxxxx, M., and Xxxxxxx, J., 2016). Regional Trade Agreements increase trade between countries by reducing uncertainties, mitigating market externalities, providing guidelines for economic exchanges, and facilitating smooth transactions (Xxxx, M., 2015). The Gravity Model was used in the paper of Xxxxxx, P. (2015). Based on the findings, preferential tariff treatments brought about by a trade agreement helped expand the exports of Africa to China. However, it did not lead to a significant growth in the economy since most products for which China grants tariff exemptions are primary or raw materials. International trade is a key element of Globalization and a country’s participation in international trade is a path to economic growth (Cipkute, E., 2016). There has been study showing the reverse causality between openness to trade and economic growth (Xxxxxxx, A., 2015). Based on the study of Xxxx, X. (2016), one of the drivers of economic growth is export. In Namibia, exports significantly affects capital formation and economic growth. Exports also improves the local economy by reducing external shocks. In the study of East Asian trading countries, Suvannaphakdy, S. and Xxxxxx, T. (2014) has found out that bilateral trade flow is positively related to the sum of the GDP of the trading countries. In the study of Kocaslan, G., Ozcelebi, O., and Xxxxxxxx, S. (2014), Turkey’s economy may have been greatly affected by its foreign trade flow with its major trade partners in Balkans. Further, economic growth and competitiveness is a function of gross capital formation. Economic gr...

Nations. The MK Management Area is known for its large, intact, relatively undisturbed ecosystems and as a globally important area of wilderness, wildlife and cultures. The MK Management Area also has significant potential for non‐renewable resource development and renewable energy and eco‐tourism opportunities. The vision for the MK Management Area is “a globally significant area of wilderness, wildlife and cultures, to be maintained in perpetuity, where world class integrated resource management and decision‐making is practiced ensuring that resource development and other human activities take place in harmony with wilderness quality, wildlife and the dynamic ecosystems on which they depend”. The MK Management Area includes both Protected Areas and Resource Management Zones. The Protected Areas will not see any industrial development. The Resource Management Zones, however, allow for timber harvesting, mineral exploration and mining, oil and gas exploration and development and other resource development activities as long as wilderness, wildlife and cultural values are maintained. As such, the MK Management Area has set a world‐class standard for land and resource management. Approximately 25 percent of the land base is allocated to Protection and 75 percent is designated as Resource Management Zones where sustainable resource development can occur. In areas where industrial activities are allowed, the long‐term objective is to return the lands to their natural state as development activities are completed. The long‐term maintenance of the wilderness characteristics, wildlife and ecosystems in both the Protected Areas and Resource Management Zones is critical to the cultural well‐being of First Nations who consider the MK Management Area traditional territory. Advisory Board Pursuant to the Muskwa‐Kechika Management Area Act and the Muskwa‐Kechika Management Plan Regulation, the Advisory Board has for the past eighteen years provided valued advice to the Premier and the public regarding natural resource management within the MK Management Area. The Advisory Board’s track record of consensus‐based decision‐making and advice is second to none. Past advice to the Province regarding the timing and sequencing of Pre‐Tenure Plans for potential oil and gas development within the MK Management Area is but one example of how the Advisory Board has helped the Province make balanced and informed decisions that directly benefit British Columbians and their communities, uphol...
Nations. [4] The GATT, and its successor the WTO, have succeeded in reducing tariffs. The average tariff levels for the major GATT participants were about 22% in 1947, but were 5% after the Uruguay Round in 1999.[5] Experts attribute part of these tariff changes to GATT and the WTO.[6][7][8] History The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade is a multi-national trade treaty. It has been updated in a series of global trade negotiations consisting of nine rounds between 1947 and 1995. Its role in international trade was largely succeeded in 1995 by the World Trade Organization. The GATT was first conceived in the aftermath of the Allied victory in the Second World War at the 1947 United Nations Conference on Trade and Employment (UNCTE), at which the International Trade Organization (ITO) was one of the ideas proposed. It was hoped that the ITO would be run alongside the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). More than 50 nations negotiated ITO and organizing its founding charter, but after the withdrawal of the United States these negotiations collapsed.[9] vteGATT and WTO trade rounds[10][11][12] Name Start Duration Countries Subjects covered Achievements Geneva April 1947 7 months 23 Tariffs Signing of GATT, 45,000 tariff concessions affecting $10 billion of trade Annecy April 1949 5 months 34 Tariffs Countries exchanged some 5,000 tariff concessions Torquay September 1950 8 months 34 Tariffs Countries exchanged some 8,700 tariff concessions, cutting the 1948 tariff levels by 25% Xxxxxx XX January 1956 5 months 22 Tariffs, admission of Japan $2.5 billion in tariff reductions Xxxxxx September 1960 11 months 45 Tariffs Tariff concessions worth $4.9 billion of world trade Xxxxxxx May 1964 37 months 48 Tariffs, anti-dumping Tariff concessions worth $40 billion of world trade Tokyo September 1973 74 months 102 Tariffs, non-tariff measures, "framework" agreements Tariff reductions worth more than $300 billion achieved Uruguay September 1986 87 months 123 Tariffs, non-tariff measures, rules, services, intellectual property, dispute settlement, textiles, agriculture, creation of WTO, etc. The round led to the creation of WTO, and extended the range of trade negotiations, leading to major reductions in tariffs (about 40%) and agricultural subsidies, an agreement to allow full access for textiles and clothing from developing countries, and an extension of intellectual property rights.
