The paper examines the effect international trade agreements on the stability of trade at the product level. While trade agreements increase overall trade, the paper shows that trade agreements induce a large number of new trade activity which is small valued and short lasting. On the other hand, trade agreements prolong and increase trade activity which began before a trade agreement is signed.
