@techreport{oai:ir.ide.go.jp:00037810, author = {Hayakawa, Kazunobu}, month = {Aug}, note = {application/pdf, IDP000364_001, This paper empirically investigates the firm-level relationship between the local input share and the number of used FTAs by employing the data on FTA utilization in Japanese affiliates in ASEAN. As a result, we do not find a robust linear relationship. However, affiliates using a large number of FTAs (seven or eight) have an extremely higher share of local inputs. This result might be interpreted as the first evidence of the “spaghetti bowl phenomenon”.}, title = {Does the use of multiple FTAs force firms to raise local input share? : evidence of the spaghetti bowl phenomenon}, year = {2012} }
