This paper analyzes how uncertainty influences the formation and design of regional trade agreements (TAs). Two sources … of uncertainty — in demand and costs — are considered. Using a multi-stage game we show that, as long as some … decisions are made after uncertainty is resolved, all TAs have option values. But, because TAs differ in their flexibility and …

Among economists, discussion of problems involving uncertainty is po­ larised between advocates of formal decision … theories, who claim that un­ certainty can be tamed by careful consideration of information and elicita­ tion of preferences …, and critics who argue that uncertainty is fundamentally irreducible.
