- W94592066 abstract "The World Trade Organization’s (WTO) Committee on Regional Trade Agreements (CRTA) is charged with monitoring, examining, and ensuring the compliance of notified RTAs. We develop a comprehensive dataset covering 290 regional economic integration agreements and ask whether oversight and examination by the WTO has fostered successful RTAs. The data reveal that almost half (43%) of all agreements in existence (up to 2005) are neither notified nor accounted for in the RTA database published by the WTO. Using variation in the notification status of an RTA we are able to determine whether oversight of notified RTAs has fostered higher levels of intra-regional trade. Surprisingly, we find that non-notified RTAs are significantly outperforming their notified counterparts despite the fact that notified RTAs are subject to conformity reviews and compliance standards enshrined in GATT Article XXIV. The ex post results suggest that oversight by the WTO may actually impede the effectiveness of regional integration. However, further robustness checks reveal that RTAs that entered into force after 1995, marking the establishment of the WTO and a formal committee (the CRTA) to oversee RTAs, are doing a much better job of stimulating members’ trade relative to non-notified agreements. The results thus identify strategies to make regional trade agreements more effective going forward." @default.
