Abstract

Based on Goyal and Joshi, we study a setting with many countries, in which there are firms that can sell in the domestic as well as foreign markets , and assumed that each firm compete to take the form of non-price, and analysis the incentive of country to sign FTA with other countries via Classical Competition Model. Our principal finding is that 1)two isolated countries have no incentive to sign an FTA, and the empty network is stable. 2) The complete trading network is stable if ; 3) There is no improving path from the empty network to the complete network .
