Abstract
This research proposal intends to assess the relationship between economic growth rate and participation in free trade agreements. The study will examine the potential economic impact of the Trans-Pacific Partnership(TPP) by first considering the economic impact of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership(CPTPP). While the TPP presented several challenges for congress, significant evidence reveals the U.S. may now be at a disadvantage for not remaining in the agreement. Within a 4-year time frame, this research proposal will determine if CPTPP participants have experienced considerably greater real GDP growth rates than the U.S. (who did not participate). Drawing comparisons between growth rates will highlight the effectiveness/ineffectiveness of the free trade agreement.
