DESCRIPTION:Trade Development and Political Economy present: Xuepeng Liu As
 sociate Professor of Economics\, Kennesaw State University\, Georgia Trade
  Agreements And Economic Growth Liu studies the growth effects of regional
  trade agreements (RTAs)\, taking into account the WTO participation of RT
 A members. He lays out a model of economic growth in which trade liberaliz
 ation through the WTO or RTAs allows for easier access to intermediate goo
 ds produced by other members. The model predicts a stronger growth effect 
 of RTAs for non-WTO members than that for WTO members. Based on a comprehe
 nsive set of 270 RTAs and a large panel dataset\, the regression results s
 how that RTAs promote growth for non-WTO members\; while their growth effe
 ct is insignificantly different from zero for WTO members. Speaker: Xuepen
 g Liu is Associate Professor of Economics at Kennesaw State University in

 nd political economy and his work has been published in prestigious journa
 ls like the Review of Economics and Statistics and the Journal of Internat
