优惠贸易协定的谈判一般不向非成员国提供任何关税减让或转让。这样的家庭教师协会能给邻居带来福利吗？在没有转口港的两种商品竞争均衡模型中，当商品正常时，不向局外人让步的优惠贸易协定将损害局外人的福利。然而，如果一个成员国是一个转口港，它肯定会改善邻国的福利。在一个多商品模型中，如果所有商品都是正常的和可替代的，并且初始关税水平很低，那么没有让步的PTA会恶化邻国的福利。
PTAs are generally negotiated without any tariff concessions or transfers to non-member countries. Can such a PTA benefit the neighbors' welfare? In a two-good competitive equilibrium model in the absence of an entrepot, a PTA without concessions to the outsider will hurt the outsider's welfare when goods are normal. If one of the member countries is an entrepot, however, it definitely improves the neighbors' welfare. In a multiple-good model, a PTA without concessions deteriorates the neighbors' welfare, provided that all the goods are normal and substitutes, and that initial tariff levels are small.
