Abstract
The EU–South Korea free trade agreement (FTA) represents a case of comprehensive trade liberalization between two major economies with large automotive industries. This article examines and compares the total and automotive industry trade effects of the EU–South Korea FTA. The empirical gravity analysis shows asymmetric effects between the bilateral exports of EU and Korea. Trade-enhancing effects are found in both gross and value-added trade indicators of EU automotive exports, while no substantial effects are detected in Korean exports. The post-FTA trade dynamics suggest that the removal of industry-specific non-tariff barriers (NTBs) played an important role in facilitating EU automotive exports.
