The Shape of a Swiss-Us Free Trade Agreement (POLICY ANALYSES IN INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS, Band 76)

As leading advocates of market capitalism, Switzerland and the United States are well situated to conclude an FTA that breaks new ground in dismantling barriers. The study finds that the annual GDP gains to each partner from expanded trade could be on the order of $1.1 billion.
