Annex B: Economic analysis
B.1 Descriptive economic analysis
Grubel-Lloyd index
The Grubel-Lloyd index indicates the level of similarity between import and export products (intra-
industry trade). It is calculated based on the following formula:
(1) 𝐺𝐿𝑘𝑖𝑗
= 1 −|𝑋𝑘
𝑖𝑗− 𝑀𝑘
𝑖𝑗|
𝑋𝑘𝑖𝑗
+ 𝑀𝑘𝑖𝑗
where 𝑋𝑘𝑖𝑗
represents country 𝑖 exports to country 𝑗 of good or sector 𝑘. 𝑀𝑘𝑖𝑗
represents imports by
country 𝑖 from country 𝑗 of good or sector 𝑘.
If a country is either only an importer or an exporter of a certain product or product group, the
second term of the formula will equal 1, so that the outcome of the formula is zero. However, if a
country both imports and exports a certain product or product group, the GL index will be closer to 1
as similarity in import and export values increases. So by construction, this index is between 0 and
1, whereby higher indices represent higher levels of intra-industry trade.
Herfindahl index
The Herfindahl index indicates the level of diversification of exports, and is calculated according to
the below formula:
(2) ℎ𝑖 = ∑ (𝑠𝑘𝑖 )
2
𝑘
where 𝑠𝑘𝑖 represents the share of sector 𝑘 in the total exports of country 𝑖 to country 𝑗. Because the
value of 𝑠𝑘𝑖 is always between 0 and 1 and squared, ℎ𝑖 becomes smaller when more products or
product groups are exported, or sectors are relatively small. Therefore, the value of ℎ𝑖 ranges from
1/𝑘 to one.
Balassa index
The Balassa index is used to investigate which sectors of the economy have a revealed
comparative advantage. The index is calculated according to the following formula:
(3) 𝑅𝐶𝐴𝑘𝑖 =
𝑋𝑘𝑖 /𝑋𝑖
𝑋𝑘/𝑋
where 𝑋𝑘𝑖 is country i’s exports of good or sector k, 𝑋𝑖 = ∑ 𝑋𝑘
𝑖𝑘 its total exports, 𝑋𝑘 = ∑ 𝑋𝑘
𝑖𝑖 world
exports of good or sector k and 𝑋 = ∑ ∑ 𝑋𝑘𝑖
𝑘𝑖 total world exports. An 𝑅𝐶𝐴𝑘𝑖 above 1 indicates that
country 𝑖 exports relatively more of good or sector 𝑘 than the world average, and therefore has a
comparative advantage in good or sector 𝑘.
B.2 Gravity analysis
In this annex we describe gravity-based estimation of trade volume effects between the EU and
Mexico, beyond volume effects explained by tariff concessions alone. This requires working with
-

data on Non-tariff barriers. Identifying suitable indicators for NTBs can be particularly challenging.
Data are available for a limited set of countries from UNCTAD. However, the data also have severe
limitations in terms of country coverage. Two other sources used here are the NTM database of the
WTO (based on notifications), and the World Bank’s index of burden from customs procedures.
The WTO database provides sector-specific scores on NTMs, while the World Bank index provides
a measure of cross-cutting regulatory costs. Both have explanatory power in our regressions. On
balance, we believe the WTO database is more comprehensive, and comes closer to requirements
for use in the gravity analysis than the UNCTAD database. The WTO data allow us to calculate, for
the product categories in Table 1, the total count of NTMs and the tariff lines affected within a
product category. This count is the sum of the number of barriers x the number of HS lines
affected. We therefore work with an index defined as 𝑁𝑇𝐵𝑊𝑇𝑂 = ln(1 + 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡). Our key
explanatory variables are summarized in the table below.
The World Bank provides and index ranking with the best regime scoring 7.
According to the World Bank, the “Burden of Customs Procedure” index measures business
executives' perceptions of their country's efficiency of customs procedures. The rating ranges from
1 to 7, with a higher score indicating greater efficiency. We have reversed this scoring, with working
with the log of a burden index ranging from 1=no burden to 7=most burdensome, so 𝑁𝑇𝐵𝑊𝐵 =
ln(𝑏𝑢𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑛).
We also include also include both a dummy variable for whether or not a particular country pair is
covered by a free trade agreement, and a simple classification of FTAs into three groups: shallow,
medium, and deep. This is based on the depth of various FTAs from Dür, Elsig and Milewicz
(2014), but not identical. We have taken the Dür et al scores, combined with supplementary
information on the sample of FTAs, to group FTAs as shallow, medium, and deep. The EU is not
technically an FTA, and we represent this with an additional dummy variable. This indicator variable
for intra-European-Union relationships differentiates between the legal and institutional
harmonization associated with EU membership, which clearly goes beyond the liberalization of
policies in other agreements. It reflects the fact that the EU is itself quite different from an FTA,
deep or otherwise.

EUNMEX A dummy for trade between the EU and Mexico.
We work with a standard representation of trade in log-linear form, specifying bilateral trade flows in
levels as an exponential function of a log-linear index that is composed of three classes of
determinants: exporter-specific factors (measuring supply potential of exporting countries),
importer-specific factors (measuring demand potential of importing countries), and bilateral factors
(measuring trade impediments in a broad sense) as identified in Annex Table 1 above. We specify
exporter-specific and importer-specific factors as country fixed effects and parameterize bilateral
factors in the log-linear index as a function of observable country-pair-specific variables. Thereby,
we ensure that the parameters on the later exhibit a structural interpretation that permits using them
in a subsequent comparative static analysis of the EU-Mexico FTA in a CGE model that is
calibrated to data on trade and production at the same level of aggregation, where the trade
equations in the model are consistent with those in the gravity model itself. 1
In formal terms, we start with a standard gravity-based equation for trade flows 𝑞𝑖,𝑗,𝑣 in sector v
between source country i and destination country j. Following convention, we base this estimating
equation on what is called a CES-based functional form for demand. Our estimating equation takes
the following form.
[1] 𝑙𝑛(𝑞𝑘,𝑖,𝑗) = ∑ 𝛽𝑔,𝑘𝑋𝑔,𝑘,𝑖,𝑗𝑔 + ∑ 𝛾3𝑘,𝑖𝐷3𝑘,𝑖𝑖 + ∑ 𝛾4𝑘,𝑗𝐷4𝑘,𝑗𝑗 + 𝑒𝑘,𝑖,𝑗
In equation (1), the terms 𝑋𝑔,𝑘,𝑖,𝑗 correspond to the explanatory variables indexed over g in Annex
Table 1, while the terms D represent importer and exporter dummies, and 𝛽𝑔,𝑘 represents the
vector of pairwise coefficients. Based on regression analysis for all 25 goods sectors modelled in
the main text, we find that the combined effect of the current FTA (the EU-Mexico agreement is
classified as medium) and the various interactions with NTB indicator data yield estimates of
positive trade volume effects between the EU and Mexico, above that explained by tariffs, for two
sectors: petrochemicals, and transport equipment. For these sectors, we have reported the
relevant coefficients (FTA indicators and NTB interactions) for these two sectors. Taking the
combined effects of these terms (interacted by NTB indicators as appropriate) yields an estimated
log increase in trade volumes relative to other country pairs. Dividing this by the tariff elasticity, and
taking the exponent, then yields estimated trade costs. For other transport equipment, we estimate
trade cost reductions, expressed as a tariff equivalent, of 17.73 percent for EU exports to Mexico
and 19.96 percent for Mexican exports to the EU. For petrochemicals we estimates trade cost
reductions, expressed as a tariff equivalent, equal to 13.98 percent in the case of EU exports to
Mexico, and 12.01 percent in the case of Mexican exports to the EU. It should be stressed that the
core FTA agreement itself is focused on tariffs, and so these are the basis for our primary ex-post
analysis of the impact on trade volumes, GDP, and other macro and sector indicators. However,
1 We also treat the trade policy variables as jointly endogenous and pursue a control-function approach to reduce the
parameter bias flowing from that endogeneity. In essence we have expanded on the methodology of Egger et al. (2011) to
encompass different types of trade agreements.

Annex D: Quantitative environmental analysis
Our quantitative environmental analysis focused on the effect of DCFTAs on airborne pollutants
and greenhouse gases. We used the methodology that has been applied in the Trade SIA of
DCFTAs between the EU and respectively Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt and Jordan, with small
adjustments. In a nutshell this approach carefully combines:
results of the CGE modelling;
extrapolation of emissions based on emission intensities and decomposing of the estimated
change into a scale and sector composition effect; and
external costs assessment in the case of greenhouse gases, based on the social cost of carbon
concept.
D.1 Changes in the environmental quality
Quantitative modelling of DCFTA-induced environmental impacts is based on the analysis of the
scale and composition effects. These two channels link changes in emissions directly to changes in
economic activity. We abstract from changes in underlying technology that may reduce emission
intensities per unit of output, since aspects of technological change are not explicitly modelled. We
have used output as indicator of economic activity. Theoretically value added is more directly linked
to the economic activity performed within a sector itself, but in practice the results from the CGE
modelling are almost the same for the two indicators. As changes in output are used as an
indication of industry reorganization throughout this report, it appeared consistent to use output
changes in the environmental analysis as well.
Scale effect
The scale effect represents the changes in the emissions resulting from the increased scale of
production. All things being equal, emissions are proportional to GDP and increase or decrease by
the same factor as economic activity as a whole. The FTA-induced level of airborne emissions with
the scale effect for a given scenario2 (denoted by SC) is equal to:
𝐸𝑖𝑆𝐶 = 𝑒𝑖
0 ∙𝑌𝑆𝐶
𝑌0= 𝑒𝑖
0 ∙ (1 + 𝑔𝑌𝑆𝐶) (1)
where 𝑒𝑖0 is emission of pollutant i in the baseline year, Y is total value added, and 𝑔𝑌
𝑆𝐶 is the
change in percentages of total value added as compared with the base year. Since we use the
changes in GDP as our proxy for the growth in total economic activity, our final formula for the scale
effect is:
𝐸𝑖𝑆𝐶 = 𝑒𝑖
0 ∙ (1 + ∆ 𝐺𝐷𝑃 𝑖𝑛 %) (2)
Composition effect
As a result of the FTA, the economic structure of the country is assumed to have changed with
activities shifting to less or more emission intensive sectors to some extent. Environmental impact
analysis should take this composition effect into account. For a given scenario, the composition
effect for a particular pollutant or greenhouse gas is:

small results coming from the NTB reduction scenario.

𝑤0 ∙ (1 + 𝑔𝑌

where w is a sector share based on total value added. Since we use the change in GDP as a proxy
for changes in total value added, our final equation is:
𝐸𝑗𝑆𝐶 = ∑ (𝑒𝑘
0 ∙ 𝑤𝑆𝐶
𝑤0 ∙ (1 + ∆ 𝐺𝐷𝑃 𝑖𝑛 %)) 𝑘 (5)
D.2 Data and definition of sectors
Emission data comes from the World Input Output Database (WIOD) Environmental Accounts. This
dataset provides emissions of several air pollutants and greenhouse gases in many countries over
the period of 1995 until 2009, at the level of sectors used in all WIOD datasets. These sectors are
quite close to the sectors used in GTAP-based CGE models, but not fully congruent. In order to
arrive at aggregate sectors matching with the CGE model, a general concordance table was
developed between WIOD and GTAP sectors. For goods, WIOD is organized along NACE sectors,
whereas GTAP follows the ISIC classification. Therefore a GTAP-ISIC concordance table was
linked to the ISIC-NACE matching and this was again linked with NACE-WIOD matching. For
services, GTAP matching with other classifications was not available. Therefore the matching was
done manually, using information on the GTAP and NACE/ISIC services sectors.
The result of this general concordance exercise is a table of 25 sectors (14 goods, 11 services
sectors). This overall concordance was then further aggregated in order to take into account the
specific aggregation of the GTAP / CGE model used in this study. The resulting 20 sectors (10
goods, 10 services sectors) can be seen in the third column in the table below.

Due to the specific sector aggregation of the CGE model in this particular case, the first aggregated
sector became quite comprehensive (mainly because forestry is subsumed under primary sectors
in the CGE model, but together with agriculture and fisheries in WIOD; it was also difficult to match
some agricultural and processed food sectors).
For the rest of the sectors, the coverage is quite detailed; it has to be noted that some minor
mismatches remain between GTAP/ISIC and NACE classifications which do not allow for a 100%
sector match:
Clothing products can be classified as textiles, manufactured products, metal products,
chemicals – the mismatch goes both ways, e.g. WIOD classifies as metal what is textiles in
GTAP, and GTAP classifies as chemicals what is textiles in WIOD;
Sometimes also a goods / services mismatch occurs e.g. in the case of records tapes:
publishing of recorded media vs. machinery and equipment; or photographic equipment:
photographic activities vs. machinery and equipment;
-
26
Ex-post evaluation of the implementation of the EU-Mexico Free Trade Agreement
Nuclear fuel is in chemicals in GTAP, but in coke/petroleum in WIOD;
Furniture is classified as wood products (GTAP) vs. manufacturing (WIOD).
These mismatches were not taken into account in the aggregation. This means that theoretically,
value added data (sourced from the CGE model, with GTAP classification) include economic
activity in some furniture products, while the corresponding emissions (sourced from WIOD) are
reported under manufacturing. Nevertheless, congruence is large enough to have confidence in the
results – the mismatch products so not have a large share in value added / trade of the aggregate
sector. From an environmental perspective, the non-match of nuclear fuel might be relevant when
interpreting the results.
One additional “sector” appears in WIOD and is used in the calculations: consumption by private
households. Their emissions are quite significant and have been assumed to grow in line with GDP.
Thus for households, the total effect is calculated as
𝐸𝐻𝐻𝑆𝐶 = 𝑒𝐻𝐻
0 ∙ (1 + ∆ 𝐺𝐷𝑃 𝑖𝑛 %), (5)
With HH denoting the households sector.
Emission baseline figures were calculated for each aggregated sector (𝑒𝑘0, with k including all 20
sectors plus private households) using the WIOD data from 2000. These can then be used together
with the output changes per sector (and the change in GDP) as reported in the CGE modelling to
calculate the total, scale and composition effects.
D.3 Monetizing externalities
Unfortunately, no external cost of air pollution data are available for Mexico at a level that would
have been usable in this study (there are studies on the costs of air pollution in Mexico, but they are
often specific for a region or specific in other ways; no overview of the costs of a tonne of air
pollutant emissions in Mexico is available).
For valuating CO2 costs, we rely on the concept of the marginal social cost (MSC) of carbon: this is
the cost accruing to society due to the release of an additional unit of carbon emissions (and its
impact on climate change). According to the Stern Review, the size of the impact “depends not only
on the lifetime of the gas, but also on the size of the stock of greenhouse gases while it is in the
atmosphere, and how uncertain climate change impacts in the future are valued and discounted.”3
It also depends on the valuation of simultaneous impacts in different places. Following from this,
estimates for the MSC of carbon depend on several key parameters:
Discount rate. Discounting is an approach to account for uncertainty about the future and how
economic subjects (= people) deal with it. Economic studies usually assume that people are risk
averse, i.e. they are willing to give up part of their income in order to get a guaranteed income.
Risk aversion also means that present income is preferred to future income, because the future
income is uncertain. Social time preference is usually modelled using an annual real discount
rate between 1 and 10%.4 The social cost over a specified time frame is then calculated as the
net present value (NPV) of the costs occurring;
Greenhouse gas emissions. The stock of greenhouse gases changes over time, where the
change depends on economic activity and climate policy. Therefore estimates for the MSC of

carbon in fact need to be dynamically adjusted to the development of GHG emissions, and they
are different for different emission scenarios. Ambitious MSC of carbon estimates additionally
take the inherent uncertainty of scenario results into account by using Monte Carlo simulations
on the underlying climate impact models;5
Equity weighting. Equity weighting takes into account the different effects climate change has
on different world regions – in economic terms. “Economic theory assumes a declining marginal
utility of consumption, i.e. the same absolute consumption change results in a smaller welfare
change for a rich person than a poor person.”6 Equity weighting takes different income levels in
different regions and at different times into account and usually leads to significantly larger
estimates.
This dependence of MSC estimates on key unknown and changing parameters helps explain the
wide range shown in the literature. Tol (2005) collected 103 estimates from 28 published studies,
arriving at a median of $14/t and a mean of $93/t (in 1995 US$).7 Anthoff (2007), in a study for the
NEEDS report, uses scenario results from the FUND model to calculate MSC of carbon estimates
for several emission years with different parameters.8 Depending on the rate of time preference
equity weighting and the way of taking into account scenario uncertainties he arrives at values for
emissions in the year 2005 ranging from -$34.0 (with a 3% rate of time preference and an equity
weighting approach that normalizes to EU income levels) to $993.0 (with a 0% rate of time
preference and the same equity weighting approach), each without uncertainty calculations.
Given this large range of MSC of carbon estimates and their sensitivity to parameter assumptions, it
seemed most reasonable to draw on median values and estimates used in previous reports in order
to stay in line and ensure comparability with other results. Taking into account Tol’s median,
adjusted to 2011 Euros (14$/t in 1995, equal to 15 € in 2011); the estimate used in the TSIA report
for Egypt and Jordan (20 €/t in 2011); and the estimate used in the TSIA report for Russia (20$/t in
2004, equal to 19€/t in 2011), we assume a value of 20€/t (in 2011 Euros) for the marginal social
cost of carbon in this report.
D.4 Data sources for air pollution
The main data source for air emissions used here is WIOD’s Environmental Accounts,9 which
includes Mexican emissions of NOx, SOx, CO, and NMVOC assigned to sectors based on energy
use data, and calibrated to totals from the EDGAR database.10
For CH4 (which is less linked to
energy use), WIOD assigns emissions to sectors directly based on the EDGAR air emission
inventory. It has to be mentioned that the WIOD / EDGAR totals per pollutant sometimes differ
substantially from the National Emissions Inventory published by SEMARNAT and EPA in the North
American Emissions Inventories,11
especially in the case of SOx and NOx. This is probably due to
the high amount of emissions released from natural emission sources, particularly volcanoes in the
case of SOx, which cannot readily be assigned to economic sectors and thus do not appear in
WIOD (in the case of biogenic sources due to land use, they can be attributed to the agricultural

sector, but this can only be done based on assumptions, which may differ in the different dataset
methodologies). In our analysis, WIOD data are used whenever possible, because this allows for
complete timelines (with more recent data) and ensures consistency with the impact assessment
section, where sector-specific data are necessary (and where the emissions from natural,
especially geogenic, sources do not matter as they are not influenced by the trade agreement).
However SEMARNAT / EPA data provide information at state level, which can complement the
federal data; also, its detailed information on natural emission sources provides valuable
background information to understand the air quality problems in Mexico.12
Particulate matter emissions are not covered by WIOD; numbers in EDGAR are inconsistent with
values from the National Emissions Inventory. Ozone is not covered in any of the databases (but its
formation is dependent on the existence of its precursors, CH4, NOx, NMVOCs, and CO). Given the
specific nature of particulate matter and ozone with their direct effect on human health and the
relevance of local / ground-level exposure, we show the development of exposure to these two
pollutants rather than their emissions.

Annex E: CGE tables
In this Annex, we present the outcomes of the CGE modelling. For each indicator, we present two
liberalisation scenarios:
Scenario 1 concerns a liberalisation scenario with only tariff liberalisation. This scenario is used
in the main report;
Scenario 2 concerns a scenario with both tariff and NTM liberalisation. In this scenario, NTMs
are reduced for the Petrochemicals and Other transport equipment sectors. For Petrochemicals,
this consists of a trade cost reduction (AVE) of 13.98 percent in the case of EU exports to
Mexico, and 12.01 percent in the case of Mexican exports to the EU. For Other transport
equipment, this is a trade cost reduction (AVE) of 17.73 percent for EU exports to Mexico and
19.96 percent for Mexican exports to the EU (see also results of gravity analysis in Annex B).
