• Regulatory cooperation mostly in manufacturing realistic • Servitization of manufacturing
Some modeling results
• Within‐sector effects dominate between‐sector effects • Regionalization of GVCs?

REGIONAL ISSUES Broad patterns
• Megaregionals create winners and losers, but world GDP increase • Sum of RTAs: Africa, LAM lose out
Bloc‐agreements
• Preference erosion (E.g., within EU, NAFTA, TPP) • Within‐region disintegration
Some modeling results
• Rules of origin decisive • Multilateralization through GVCs? • Regulatory spillovers?
