Abstract

The author indicates the following positive trade effects for Russia, China & the Trans-Pacific Partnership (in the original and in the extended formats): trade creation effect prevails over trade diversion effect; general welfare and bilateral trade tend to increase. The evaluation showed the following costs for the Russian economy: a rapid increase in imports compared to exports, the loss of budget revenues. The long-term challenges and opportunities for the Russian economy by liberalizing trade with China and the Trans-Pacific Partnership countries are identified. In the conditions of total global trade liberalization the estimates suggest that for a significant redistribution of commodity flows it is necessary to removing a huge number of non-tariff barriers existing between Russia & Asia-Pacific countries.
