Notes: These results are interpreted in the same way as table 18. The model predicts big terms of trade swings for the larger economies in the NTB
simulations, but only for the United States are the favorable swings large enough to roughly balance the allocative efficiency losses. The reversion of
preferentials scenario entails elimination of the US trade agreements with Australia, Canada, Mexico, and Singapore.
