| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The study investigates the trend in selected agricultural commodities under the movement of Japan’s EPAs. Time series analyses using ADF tests suggest that the reduction of tariffs hardly brought about trade creation except in the case of shrimp where the export from the partner countries in the EPAs had virtually occupied the Japanese market. This evidence may support the classical framework by Viner rather than that of the GTAP model, while the estimation results are not clear-cut. We should take into account the fact that opening of the Japanese markets in agricultural products are still moderate in spite of the consecutive implementation of EPAs as of 2016. The cases of Thailand and LAO PDR under the ASEAN AEC was aloso investigated. The study results were presented in some academic meetings.
