N2 - This study is an updated version of an earlier assessment of the economic effects of the EU-Mercosur trade ‘agreement in principle’ for the Netherlands. At the macroeconomic level, the potential gain in GDP is estimated at 0.02%, which amounts to 239 million euros, assuming full implementation of the agreement in 2040. At the sector level, the Dutch bilateral trade balance with Mercosur for agricultural products (except dairy) contracts, but substantial growth in the trade balance in the manufacturing and services sectors results in an overall positive net trade gain for the Netherlands. At the farm level, the estimated income effects are slightly negative for all farm types, except for the arable sector where the effect is negligible.
