Accordingly, free trade agreements (FTAs) that have been signed in the last 10 years are mainly oriented towards the MENA region. In this study, we analyze the EU enlargement of Turkey and compare it to a potential FTA between Turkey and MENA countries by employing the computable general equilibrium model GTAP and the most recent Version 8 of the GTAP data base. In contrast to previous studies, additionally we consider the reduction of non-tariff barriers (NTBs) in our simulations. We estimate NTBs through a set of gravity equations using the theory-based border effect approach. Thereafter, we report the results in terms of main economic indicators: |
