Acordos de Livre Comércio

Dani Rodrick nos explica porque os Acordos de Livre Comércio devem ser permanentes.

"...the government faces a "time-inconsistency" problem. It would like to commit to free trade ... but realizes that over time it will give in to pressure and deviate from what is its optimal policy ex ante. So it chooses to tie its hands through external discipline. This way, when protectionists ... show up at its door, the government says: "sorry, [the FTA with the US] ... will not let me do it." Everyone is better off, save for the lobbyists and special interests. This is the good kind of delegation and external discipline."
