We quantify the partial and general equilibrium effects of GATT/WTO membership on trade and welfare. Using an extensive … database covering manufacturing trade for 186 countries over the period 1980-2016, we find that the average impact of GATT …/WTO membership on trade among member counties is large, positive, and significant.
