An overview of Norway`s concessions given in the various free trade agreements between the EFTA-states and the applicable countries or group of countries, as well as the bilateral agreements between Norway and the applicable countries or group of countries.

The different agreements cover trade in industrial products, including fish and other marine products, and processed agricultural products. Basic agricultural products are covered by agreements concluded bilaterally between Norway and the country or group of countries concerned.

This data set also includes the concessions offered to the countries that are a part of the Norwegian scheme of the General System of Preferences.

FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS - These interactive factsheet and datasets complements the JRC scientific report "Cumulative economic impact of future trade agreements on EU agriculture", a study carried out by the European Commission (Joint Research Centre, working together with DG AGRI) and consisting in an analysis of potential effects of twelve free trade agreements (FTAs) under the current EU FTA agenda. It sheds some light on relatively balanced cumulated impacts in terms of trade, production and price for the EU agricultural sector as a whole, while quantifying also the market development for specific agricultural sectors. The report was published and presented to the Agriculture Council on 15 November 2016.

PLEASE NOTE A NEW VERSION OF THE STUDY WAS ISSUED IN 2021: https://data.jrc.ec.europa.eu/dataset/bbffb5fd-c6b2-4f86-a8cf-70734a11e7b2

The data and programs replicate tables and figures from "Exempted sectors in free trade agreements", by Deardorff and Sharma. Please see the ReadMe file for additional details.

We study the relationship between participation in free trade agreements (FTAs) and the sustainability of democracy. Our model shows that FTAs can critically reduce the incentive of authoritarian groups to seek power by destroying protectionist rents, thus making democracies last longer. This gives governments in unstable democracies an extra motive to form FTAs. Hence, greater democratic instability induces governments to boost their FTA commitments. In a dataset with 116 countries over 1960-2007, we find robust support for these predictions. They help to rationalize the rapid simultaneous growth of regionalism and of worldwide democratization since the late 1980s.

This dataset provides a comprehensive framework for analyzing the relationship between productive capabilities and trade agreement formation across 95 countries from 2011 to 2017. It combines bilateral trade agreement status, productive capability measures, and sectoral productivity differentials for 8,575 unique country pairs, creating a novel resource for studying economic development and trade integration. The database merges information from multiple authoritative sources: trade agreement indicators from the CEPII Gravity database, maritime distances from CERDI-SeaDistance, productive capability measures from UNCTAD's Productive Capabilities Index (PCI), and sectoral productivity differentials from the RPROD database. Each observation represents a bilateral country relationship in a given year, with detailed information on trade agreement status, economic capabilities, geographic distance, and productivity measures. Key variables include:

-Binary indicators for active trade agreements -Productive Capability Index (PCI) for both origin and destination countries -Balassa-Samuelson effect measures capturing sectoral productivity differentials -Bilateral maritime distances and connectivity measures -Trade flow values and related economic indicators

This unified dataset is particularly valuable for researchers studying:

-Trade agreement formation and economic development -Productive capability thresholds in international trade -Regional patterns in economic integration -Development policy and trade liberalization sequencing

The data structure allows for both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses, providing a rich foundation for investigating how domestic economic capabilities influence international trade relations. The time period (2011-2017) represents a relatively stable era in international trade, making it ideal for studying structural relationships without the confounding effects of major global disruptions.

What determines people’s preferences regarding trade policy? Existing studies have assumed that people consider trade policy merely trade politics; accordingly, these studies have focused on economic factors, such as benefits to individual or national welfare, ideational factors, such as xenophobia, or domestic political factors. This paper reveals that the international political factor of national security influences ordinary people’s preferences for trade policy. While several studies have addressed the effect of the national security factor, they did not persuasively reveal the causal mechanism of the relationship between the national security factor and people’s trade preferences. The present study conducted a factorial survey experiment to investigate the causal effect and the causal mechanism of the security factor on people’s preferences regarding free trade agreements (FTAs). The results of the experiment conducted in Japan reveal that ordinary people consider the national security factor along the so-called realism-path in forming their opinions regarding FTAs.

Comprehensive Trade Agreements (CTAs) constitute a new generation of free trade agreements, which challenge traditional models of trade preferences. To understand preferences toward CTAs I present a new predictor, trust in government, that explains support for CTAs in the European Parliament. I develop a unified framework that includes economic and noneconomic factors to explain trade preferences, and analyze support for three recent CTAs: the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement with Canada (CETA), and the EU-Korea Free Trade Agreement. Using an original dataset on trade voting and a multilevel model, I show that higher levels of citizens’ trust in government make Members of the European Parliament more likely to vote in favor of CTAs. My research offers a novel theoretical argument and insights on the connection between public trust and elite position-taking.

We study the effects of the Dominican Republic - Central America - United States Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR), signed in 2004, on the trade flows of its member states. Relying on the structural gravity model of trade framework, we find evidence of an increase in members' bilateral trade, but also of significant differences in these effects. Increases in trade flows resulting from CAFTA-DR are strongest for the United States, but statistically insignificant for most other member states. A high level of previous integration between Central American countries and the Dominican Republic prior to CAFTA-DR could explain this outcome. Using a counterfactual analysis, we are also able to measure the general equilibrium effects of CAFTA-DR, finding that it has, in general, increased both total exports and income levels in most of the member states.

Users also have the option of selecting any of the country groups with whom Canada has a free trade agreement or is currently negotiating or discussing the possibility of such an agreement. Data are on a customs basis and not seasonally adjusted.

The paper discusses the pros and cons of a Transatlantic free trade area (TAFTA) against the concept of an informal trade-facilitating marketplace between Europe and the US. It finds considerably more cons expecially since TAFTA would be expected to have ever more discriminatory effects to the detriment of dynamic non-member economies mainly in Asia but also in food-exporting regions. Efficiency-enhancing effects are argued to be achievable under a marketplace concept which does not separate insiders from outsiders. It is also shown that in foreign direct investment (FDI) and FDI-related service trade TAFTA seems redundant as in recent years bilateral capital and trade flows have proven to be buoyant without preferential treatment.

Free Trade Agreement Optimization Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the global Free Trade Agreement Optimization market size reached USD 1.54 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a robust CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period, reaching USD 3.66 billion by 2033. The market’s expansion is propelled by the increasing complexity of international trade regulations, the proliferation of new and revised trade agreements, and the growing necessity for businesses to maximize cost savings and operational efficiencies through optimized trade compliance strategies.

One of the primary growth drivers of the Free Trade Agreement Optimization market is the surge in global trade volumes and the corresponding need for businesses to navigate a labyrinth of evolving trade agreements. As companies expand their global footprint, they are compelled to comply with a myriad of customs regulations, tariff structures, and documentation requirements. The increasing number of bilateral and multilateral FTAs has created both opportunities and challenges for organizations seeking to minimize costs and maximize market access. Consequently, businesses are increasingly adopting advanced FTA optimization solutions to automate compliance processes, reduce manual errors, and ensure seamless cross-border transactions. The integration of AI and machine learning into these solutions further enhances their capability to analyze vast datasets, identify optimal trade routes, and deliver actionable insights for tariff management and supply chain optimization.

Another significant factor fueling market growth is the heightened focus on risk management and supply chain resilience in the face of geopolitical uncertainties and regulatory changes. The COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing trade disputes, and shifting economic alliances have underscored the importance of agile and compliant supply chain operations. Enterprises are investing in FTA optimization tools to proactively assess and mitigate risks associated with non-compliance, fluctuating tariffs, and disrupted trade flows. These solutions not only enable companies to maintain regulatory adherence but also foster greater supply chain agility, allowing for rapid response to changing market conditions and regulatory landscapes. This trend is particularly pronounced among multinational corporations and industries with intricate supply chain networks, such as automotive, pharmaceuticals, and electronics.

The increasing digitization of trade processes and the adoption of cloud-based platforms are also catalyzing the expansion of the Free Trade Agreement Optimization market. Cloud-based deployment models offer unparalleled scalability, accessibility, and integration capabilities, enabling organizations of all sizes to leverage sophisticated trade optimization solutions without significant upfront investments. Furthermore, the rise of e-commerce and the digital transformation of traditional industries are driving demand for automated customs compliance, tariff management, and trade documentation solutions. As businesses strive to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving global marketplace, the adoption of digital FTA optimization tools is becoming a strategic imperative, further accelerating market growth.

From a regional perspective, North America and Europe currently dominate the Free Trade Agreement Optimization market, accounting for a significant share of global revenues. These regions benefit from well-established trade networks, advanced technological infrastructure, and a high concentration of multinational corporations. However, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period, driven by the rapid expansion of cross-border trade, the implementation of major regional trade agreements such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), and the increasing adoption of digital trade solutions among emerging economies. Latin America and the Middle East & Africa are also expected to register steady growth, supported by ongoing trade liberalization initiatives and the modernization of customs and trade facilitation processes.

The year 2022 marked the 25-year anniversary of the implementation of the Canada-Chile Free Trade Agreement (CCFTA), which entered into force on July 5, 1997. The agreement was groundbreaking in many aspects for both Canada and Chile. For Canada, it was the first free trade agreement signed with a South American country and one of the most comprehensive free trade agreements Canada made since signing the North America Free Trade Agreement. For Chile, it was the first trade agreement concluded with a leading industrialized country and the beginning of a series of subsequent FTAs it would sign with other countries.

In the backdrop of criticism that the China-Pakistan Free Trade Agreement has disproportionately favored China, particularly in agricultural trade, there has been a surge in Pakistan’s imports, leading to a trade deficit. This study attempts to evaluate the impact of CPFTA 1&2 on the vegetable exports of Pakistan which is an important sector of the agricultural industry. A panel data set of Pakistan’s vegetable exports to its trading partners from 2003 to 2021 was analyzed with the extensively used gravity model of trade. The vegetable export data was sourced from the International Trade Centre (ITC) which is based on the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics. The results suggest that the China-Pakistan Free Trade Agreement (CPFTA-I) has a positive association with Pakistan’s vegetable exports to China. However, trade liberalization with Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia plays a more substantial role in driving Pakistan’s vegetable exports. CPFTA-II has not had a measurable or statistically significant impact on the vegetable exports of Pakistan as this period was highly influenced by COVID-19. The results of colonialism variables show that Pakistan is exporting more to countries with the same colonial history. Moreover, the results of the geographical variable suggest that Pakistan should explore more close markets to expand vegetable exports. Policy implications suggest the need to reduce trade costs, leverage CPEC infrastructure, enrich trade relations with neighboring countries, and involve business professionals in policy negotiations.
