- •
We analyze the optimal choice of rules of origin (ROO) in FTA.
- •
A simple three-country model of international duopoly is employed.
- •
Firms from outside the FTA must undertake FDI to comply with the ROO.
- •
FDI causes technology spillovers, depending on the stringency of ROO.
- •
We predict the level of ROO is positively correlated with the average MFN tariffs.
