摘要：Although the potential economic impacts of the 1988 Canada-US Free Trade Agreement (FTA) have received considerable scrutiny on a national scale (for example, Department of External Affairs 1987; Magun ct al. 1987, 1988; Brown and Stern 1989; Muller and Williams 1989), relatively little attention has been directed toward the specific effects in local areas, in part because national econometric models generally lack the sufficient geographic detail (Melvin [1988] studied Atlantic Canada but not empirically). The sectoral and spatial impacts of the FTA will be highly uneven. It will generate flows of inputs (via investments) as weil as increases in cross-border flows of outputs (via trade). Buffalo, New York, and Detroit, Michigan, arc likely to be heavily affected, for they are the principal gateways through which the bulk of US-Canada trade passes.
