W\u00e4hrend sie urspr\u00fcnglich auf den Warenhandel und haupts\u00e4chlich auf Z\u00f6lle abzielten, sind RTAs heute viel umfassender, decken auch Dienstleistungen ab und gehen weit \u00fcber die Abschaffung von Z\u00f6llen hinaus, indem sie nichttarif\u00e4re Ma\u00dfnahmen harmonisieren und politische Ma\u00dfnahmen in einer Vielzahl von Bereichen vereinbaren, wie z. B. Auslandsinvestitionen, Arbeitsm\u00e4rkte, Schutz von geistigen Eigentumsrechten und Umwelt. In diesem Policy Brief er\u00f6rtern wir zun\u00e4chst den aktuellen Stand des Wissens \u00fcber die Quantifizierung der Auswirkungen von Freihandelsabkommen auf den internationalen Handel und zeigen dann die M\u00e4ngel des Standardansatzes zur Messung der Auswirkungen von Freihandelsabkommen auf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mario Larch und Yoto V.
