报告摘要：

    This paper studies the formation of two-country free trade agreements (FTAs) in a four-country model. Countries are divided into two types with each type having the same market size and the same cost of production. Both symmetric FTAs between countries of the same type and asymmetric FTAs between countries of different types are investigated. It is found that i) countries in the same regions are always interested in forming FTAs, but such symmetric FTAs may or may not always improve the welfare of all countries; and ii) countries in different regions do not always have incentives to form FTAs
