First, develop model where depends timing present future relative changes costs. Second, provide empirical evidence supporting key predictions using Canada–Korea PTA. PTAs predictable, potentially asymmetric, tariff paths many products. use information for over 2,500 HS-6 products build liberalization measures, show that (future) high tend decrease (increase) balance, consistent model. Finally, quantitative investigation Korean surplus based dynamics costs between Korea two-country international real business cycle augmented When fed actual trends found data, generates about 2.15% GDP, roughly 66% what was observed data. Les libéralisations asymétriques du commerce et la dynamique des comptes courants. Je comme nouveau déterminant potentiel de me penche principalement sur Corée Sud, qui connu une montée descente ses courants au cours période à pendant laquelle elle signé accords commerciaux préférentiels (ACP) avec partenaires commerciaux.
