Trade diversion

The concept of trade diversion is related with free trade agreements (FTAs). Here, after the FTA formation, goods from an inefficient FTA partner country that had high price previously come to an FTA member as a result of FTA formation and removed tariff impact.

Trade diversion is the shift of production from efficient external suppliers to inefficient FTA members.
