Research Abstract

The economic effects of liberalization of trade and international factor movements due to FTA have been analyzed theoretically. As a result, trade liberalization and an inflow of capital or labor have an important influence on unemployment and skilled-unskilled wage differential. For example, trade liberalization reduces the wage gap and unemployment under certain conditions, and trade liberalization is preferable to international factor movement for the policy goals.
