Tariff Bindings and the Dynamic Formation of Preferential Trade Agreements 

(Coauthored with James Lake & Molse Nken)

The authors show that multilateral tariff binding liberalization substantially impacts the nature and extent of Preferential Trade Agreement (PTA) formation. First, it shapes the nature of forces constraining expansion of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs).  Second, it shapes the role played by PTAs in the attainment of global free trade. The authors’ theoretical analysis also has implications regarding recent empirical discussions over the relative merits of FTAs versus Customs Unions.

We’re Turning 100!


To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
