| Abstract: | This paper uses recursive methods to characterize the payoff frontier of self-enforcing trade agreements between countries of asymmetric size. The authors show that at points on the frontier where only one country's incentive constraint binds, the efficient agreement will be a non-stationary one that starts with a positive trade distortion but eventually reaches free trade. |
