Faculty Fellow Jeffrey Bergstrand, professor of Finance in Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business, was mentioned in Phys.org's publication: "NAFTA's demise puts Canada in the 'penalty box,' study show". He shows in his new study that Canada would suffer more economically than the U.S or Mexico if NAFTA folds.
"Canada's per capita income loss of 2.11 percent is nearly two times that of Mexico's loss of 1.15 percent and nearly eight times the United States' loss of 0.27 percent," Bergstrand says, "illustrating the important influence of trade costs—both international and intra-national—in contributing to the gains or losses from an economic integration agreement's formation or elimination."
