Forthcoming	Pomfret, Richard, Regionalism in East Asia: Why has it flourished since 2000 and how far will it go?, World Scientific Publishing Company, Singapore, forthcoming.
	Christopher Findlay and Shujiro Urata, (eds), Free Trade Agreements in the Asia Pacific, World Scientific Studies in International Economics - Vol. 11, 2010. Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) have proliferated in East Asia as regional economies rush to catch up with the rest of the world - but what difference do they make? This book answers that question by providing an up-to-date assessment of the quality and impact of FTAs in the region. Featuring a collection of papers originally written for the prestigious Research Institute for Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI) in Tokyo, it presents contemporary analysis and insights into the evolution of recent FTAs. The book is suitable for use by trade policy negotiators, policy analysts, and people developing business strategies in organizations, as well as graduate students and researchers in the field.
	Ernesto Valenzuela, Poverty, Vulnerability and Trade Policy: General Equilibrium Modelling Issues. VDM Verlag Dr. Müller, 2009. Trade policy negotiations increasingly have spurred ex ante economic quantitative assessments relying on detailed databases and computable general equilibrium (CGE) models of the national and global economies. In spite of the benefits imposed by a proper model accounting of all sectors and global consistency, there is some criticism about the use of the CGE framework mainly because of the lack of validation and inability to properly capture policy impact dynamics. This book increases our understanding of the CGE tool to evaluate trade reform by providing (a) a reality check of these models' predictions - confronting them with real data, (b) by bridging the knowledge gap about the impacts of trade reform and commodity market volatility, and (c) by incorporating stockholding behavior to handle short-run phenomena. As a whole, this book should spark the interest of avid economists to provide more empirical information about the links between trade policy measures and the well being of the poorest - of which that are more than one billion.
