摘要：This special issue of the Canadian Journal of Regional Science pulls together studies by geographers, economists, and management scientists of the impact of the Canada-US. Free Trade Agreement (FT A) on the regional economies of the two countries. The regional effects of this agreement are important for two reasons. First, when bordering countries are as large as Canada and the United States, national-level analyses obscure a great deal of the trade, interaction, and results. Second, the experience of freer trade-whether jobs or joblessness, wealth or poverty-is borne by individuals and households who are bound to particular regions by praperty, preference, or culture.
