Empirical Assessment of Korea"s FTA Trade Effects: Focusing Korea-Chile FTA

&nbsp;&nbsp;Korea recorded a great performance in establishing FTAs with trading partners in recent years. Although high economic effects are expected in advance based on research papers, it is not sure whether the initial estimates would be realized when the FTAs become implemented.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;This paper tried to empirically assess the trade effects of Korea&quot;s first FTA with Chile, which is the only FT A that can be tested based on the trade data of at least 3 years. Korea could increase its exports to Chile with 44% growth rate on average during last 3 years, which is higher than twice of Korea&quot;s average export growth rate to the world, implying the high export performance of the FTA.
