ABSTRACT

The ASEAN+3 proposal has attracted attention in Asia and the world. We argue that a free trade agreement (FTA) for ASEAN+3 is beneficial to all member countries due to three factors: (i) existing and expected vertical foreign direct investment linkage between Japan/Korea and ASEAN member countries, (ii) high expected growth rate of the Chinese economy, and (iii) the economic diversity among members of ASEAN+3 group.

JEL Classification: F13, F15, F53

Keywords: ASEAN | free trade agreement | trade creation | trade diversion | foreign direct investment | trading bloc
