CORPORATE ECONOMICS 2IntroductionFree trade agreement in its simplest form refers to an economic policy of not beingselective against imports from and exports to foreign influences. Consumers and sellers fromdistinct economies may freely trade without the local government imposing tariffs, measures,subsidies or bans on their products and services. Free trade is thus the reverse of tradeprotectionism.Basically, free trade agreements are intended to reduce the obstacles to trade between twoor more republics, which are in place to aid protect native markets and businesses. Trade barriersnormally come in as both tariffs and exchange quotas. FTAs are ultimately implemented tobenefit consumers[ CITATION Bai14 \l 1033 ]FTAs do not just eradicate tariffs, they also discourse behind-the-border limitations thatprevent the flow of goods and services between partners, motivate investment, enrichcooperation, and can also address other concerns, such as intelligent property, e-commerce andregime procurement[ CITATION Lav12 \l 1033 ]Advantages of Free Trade AgreementsBasically, Free trade agreementsare aimed at increasing trade between two or morecountries. This increase in trade activities between such countries brings about severaladvantages in the economies[ CITATION Kru12 \l 1033 ]. Firstly, there is a noticeable economicgrowth as the markets for the local goods produced can access a considerably large market under

CORPORATE ECONOMICS 3minimal restrictions and barriers. Similarly, consumers’ satisfaction is high since a variety ofgoods is accessible at fair prices.[ CITATION Kru12 \l 1033 ]Secondly, there is technology transfer whereby Native companies receive access to themost recent technologies from multinational associates[ CITATION Kru12 \l 1033 ]. As these localeconomies develop, so do employment opportunities. Multi-national enterprises offer jobtrainings to local employees.Expertise, International companies have moreproficiency than domestic corporations todevelop native resources. That's particularly the case in mining sector, oil drilling andindustrialization. FTAs allow the international firms to have access to these corporateopportunities[ CITATION Bai14 \l 1033 ]. When the global firms partner with the local firms toimprove the resources, they coach them on the top practices and that gives native firms access tothe new production methods.Foreign straight investment, Investors will assemble to the state. This increases capital toexpand native industries and enhance domestic industries[ CITATION Eva15 \l 1033 ]. Additionally,there is a decline in government spending; many governments usually subsidize native businesssegments. After the trade agreement eradicates subsidies, that money can be put to better use.The TPP partnershipThe TPP Partnership is considered to be the largest local trade accord in history signed bytwelve countries in the year 2016[ CITATION Pet11 \l 1033 ]. The basic goal of this deal was to

CORPORATE ECONOMICS 4expand economic incorporation among the states by decreasing tariffs and promoting trade toupsurge the growth level. Moreover, one of its objectives was for member countries to boosttheir ties with each other through this agreement[ CITATION Pha14 \l 1033 ]. The basic notion ofTPP was to make a single market just like the European Union. This treaty was reflected to be avery significant achievement since it has very diverse principles and approaches towards itsmember countries. The organization took a serious opinion of environmental safeguard andworkers' civil rights all enclosed in regulatory rationality[ CITATION Pet11 \l 1033 ].The TPP was bounded by rumors both good and bad. While some ruminate it as theworld’s most aspiring trade pact, some saw it as the most dangerous. With Donald Trump’sconquest, TPP seemed to have hit a dead end[ CITATION Fyn11 \l 1033 ]. According to Trump, thisdeal was hurting American workers. He went ahead and outlined his agenda which he based onthe simple principle of putting America first. He also expounded that he wanted the succeedinggeneration’s innovation and invention to occur on American soil[ CITATION Gor16 \l 1033 ]. Hereflected it as a potential calamity for his country. America was therefore going to negotiate forreasonable bilateral trade agreements which would surge employment opportunities and assistrevive American firms. American withdrawal would mean the breakdown of TPP. States under this agreementsuch as Japan and Singapore expressed their reaction following the withdrawal by stating thatTPP in absence of United States was meaningless and prone of collapse[ CITATION Gor16 \l 1033 ].Repeatedly they warned that the failure to consent would weaken Washington’s standingamongst Asian trade cohorts and place Asia pivot in uncertainty If TPP breaks as it wasexpected, its outcomes would be broad. Moreover, it would adversely affect the global trade.

CORPORATE ECONOMICS 5There was silver lining however that the remaining states could perhaps forge ahead inabsence of US though the impact would be diminished as easy access to US economy would belost.[ CITATION Fyn11 \l 1033 ]Reckoning the TPP without the United StatesThe exit by the Trump regime of United States out of Trans-Pacific Partnershipagreement, together with his outlined intent to discuss new deals with the partners bilaterally,posed questions to the remaining eleven TPP countries: should they move ahead with the pact asnegotiated in exception of United States[ CITATION Gor16 \l 1033 ], altering only the provisions forentrance into force? There was however two concerns that bore consideration. First, wouldTPP11 make sense for the Eleven as an impartial agreement? [ CITATION Fyn11 \l1033 ]Alternatively, would the fundamental provisions be constricted to those that work to thecommon advantage of the Eleven alone? The final option would readily be effected byprovisionally relating those parts of agreement that work for the Eleven partners and on whicheasy consent would be achieved by appending the remainder. Accordingly whether to move onwith provisional solicitation of the TPP agreement in full or in part was the most appropriatedecision for the Eleven.[ CITATION Gor16 \l 1033 ]Second, since United States had initially negotiated the Trans-Pacific partnership as achain of bilateral, with the prerequisite being the regionalization of foundation rules[ CITATIONCli11 \l 1033 ], would the reviewed bilateral pacts between the U.S and the Eleven ultimately berolled up into a TPP12 by reestablishing the regional dimensions, If actually the final resultwould be a reviewed TPP12, does the arrangement even matter? [ CITATION Ada14 \l 1033 ]Moreprecisely, would the Eleven be better off in terms of negotiating leverage with a fait accompli
Free Trade Agreement_5
CORPORATE ECONOMICS 6treaty of their own, which creätes preferences in the Eleven markets concerning the UnitedStates? Under this scenario, the Eleven would have the advantage of regional cumulation ofworth added for basis determinations under the TPP11, while the United States, in its series ofbilateral, would not lest it purchased this via its bilateral deals. In other words, trading off entreeto cumulation would be a negotiation chip, which the TPP11 would establish, for each one of theEleven in its bilateral concession with the United States[ CITATION Kru12 \l 1033 ]. In this light,this note offers quantitative contribution bearing on the contemplation of whether the Elevenshould approach it alone[ CITATION Ada14 \l 1033 ]. The note also takes up the query of whethersuch a mutual response offsets for the Eleven the innately negative effect of the ambiguity aboutaccess to the US market established by motions from the United States that it does not cogitateitself necessarily destined by its prior trade agreements, including its activities under the WorldTrade Organization (WTO) Agreement.[ CITATION Fyn11 \l 1033 ] Precisely, this paper evaluates the effect of the TPP as discussed excluding the bilateralobligations between the United States and each of the eleven partners. The TPP11 programshock entails the liberalization assurances made by the partners for tariffs and non-tariff barriersin products and services and external direct investment.[ CITATION Bai14 \l 1033 ]Impacts of TPP on both the US Consumers and ProducersThe TPP Partnership Agreement clenches Prospective for producers and the Americanconsumers’ .Reports indicate that costs of imported trade products are increased by tariffs andquotas, which aggregate to concealed taxes on consumers ranging to as high as 67.5 percent on
