Overview Introduction CGE Modelling Screening Scoping Issues for Discussion Contact
1. Introduction (1): Organisation of the Study ECORYS as lead contractor Modelling team headed by Prof. Joe Francois ASEAN partners in 5 different countries: Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam
1. Introduction (2): TSIA Methodology Analyse the economic, social and environmental impacts of trade measures negotiated within an FTA. Quantitative and qualitative approach: CGE modeling and Causal Chain Analysis. 50% modeling & analysis; 50% consultations and inputs from key stakeholders and civil society: www.tsia.ecorys.com/asean 3 Phases of the study: 1): scenario building, screening and scoping (GAR); 2): in-depth studies of selected sectors/issues; 3): policy recommendations on enhancing or mitigating measures
1. Introduction (3): The Phase 1 Report (GAR) Overview of current economic, social and environmental issues and trends in the EU and ASEAN Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) analysis Screening & Scoping Consultations EU and ASEAN End of phase 1: Sector / HI selection
2. CGE Modelling: (1) The Model Aim of modelling: quantitative analysis of the expected outcomes of the FTA in general equilibrium; Scenario definitions: Base year, 2004 (GTAP 7.0); Experiment 1. Limited FTA Agreement; Experiment 2. Extended FTA Agreement; Experiment 3. Extended FTA Plus Agreement. The scenarios are based on the EU – ASEAN overview (Ch. 2), discussions in the kick-off meeting and the inception report (also online).
3. CGE Modelling: (2) Scenarios Analysis of three scenarios: Tariff reductions: Limited FTA 90%, Extended FTA 97%, Extended plus FTA 97% for food and non-food; Services (AVE reductions): Limited FTA 25%, Extended FTA 75%, Extended plus FTA 75% Trade facilitation: Limited FTA 1%, Extended FTA 2%, Extended plus FTA 3% (some sectors)
2. CGE Modelling: (3) Outcomes Macro-economic outcomes include: changes in income, GDP, wages of high and low skilled labour changes, etc. The CGE model also provides outcomes per sector: output effects, employment effects (high- and low-skilled), price effects, change in value of imports and exports
2. CGE Modelling: (4) Outcomes (ext. FTA) Table 1: Summary of Macro-economic changes Scenario / variable India Bang Pak Sri Lanka Other South Asia Other LDCs ROW Scenario 2: Extended FTA (short run) National inc.

3. Screening: (1) Criteria …. for choice of sectors and horizontal issues Cr1: Importance of sector/horizontal issue for EU and ASEAN economies and EU-ASEAN relations; Cr2: Size of the expected impact of the FTA on sector’s trade between the EU and ASEAN; Cr3: Expected social and/or environmental impact of the sector for the EU and ASEAN; Cr4: Comments and feedback from consultations with key stakeholders and civil society.

3. Screening: (4) Preliminary Results Based on the screening criteria, we propose to look at the following sectors and horizontal issues: Sectors: (1) Cereals and Grains, (2) Motor Vehicles & Automotives, (3) Textiles, Clothing & Footwear, (4) Electronic Equipment and (5) Transport services (maritime transport). Horizontal issues: (1) Investment Conditions, (2) SPS, (3) Trade Facilitation, (4) IPR and (5) RoO, or….
3. Screening: (5) Possible Alternatives Sectors Fisheries Food processing Telecommunications Distribution Services (wholesale & retail) Financial services Energy sector Other ……….? Horizontal issues Government Procurement Competition Policy
4. Scoping Having identified the sectors and horizontal issues, what are the main topics that need to be researched in Phase 2? BASED ON: Your suggestions (feedback form, also online) Suggestions by our sector experts Bilateral meetings with civil society and other key stakeholders FOCUS: In-depth analysis of sectors and horizontal issues – main issues in detail See Feedback Form (hand-out)
6. Issues For Discussion - Discussion - A) You are invited to ask questions and provide comments on the GAR - Q&A - B) You’re invited to provide inputs and suggestions for next steps in study, specifically on: Definite sector and HI selection – Final selection after TSIA Workshop in Bangkok (27 October 2008); There are several ‘alternative sectors’ that may be chosen over preliminary selection – suggestions (including argumentation)? We are at the beginning of Phase 2: what are main issues for the sectors and HI (preliminarily) chosen? Any suggestions for interesting Case Studies? - Discussion -
