Abstract

Trade liberalization and regional economic integration have recently accelerated in East Asia, where several free trade areas have been established or are under negotiation. After acquiring ASEAN membership in 1995, Vietnam has signed a bilateral trade package with the United States and participated in the China–ASEAN free trade area. This paper attempts to analyze impacts on Vietnam of ongoing regional economic integration, focussing on growth, poverty reductions and income distribution. For this purpose, we have constructed a global linked Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model and made use of GTAP database version 6.0 andVietnam's living standards surveys. The simulation analysis shows that regional economic integration generally has positive impacts; and it both enhances welfare and improves income distribution for Vietnam. Household income and consumption increase, and poor and rural household groups benefit more than urban high income groups.
