本研究以探討簽署自由貿易協定之關鍵成功因素為目的，結果顯示：
-文化較相近的國家簽訂自由貿易協定將帶來較大效益。但某些差異有時候可以成為一種互補。
-簽有越多自由貿易協定的國家在簽訂新的自由貿易協定將獲得較大利益。一國之制度完善程度以及其所提供的經營環境優劣，也是影響自由貿易協定效益的重要因素。
-較相近的國家簽訂自由貿易協定將可帶來較大助益。或是與具有鄰近廣大市場的優良位置之國家，亦可藉由自由貿易協定帶來益處。
-原先關稅與一國之基礎建設品質，都是影響簽訂自由貿易協定之重要因素。在人力資源之成本、技術水準以及國家主要產業結構等方面上可互補者，也可帶來更大效益。

The purpose of the research is to seek for the key success factors of free trade agreements. And the result show:
-FTA between countries with similar cultural background brings more benefits. But sometimes difference could be a plus.
-Countries with more FTA signed benefit more while signing new FTAs. Other important factors include the sound institution and operational environment offered by a country.
-FTA between geographically proximate countries benefits more. Also, FTA with country with good location that is closed to big markets brings more benefit.
-Factors like the original tariff, quality of infrastructure, cost of human resources, and level of technology are the reasons that affect the benefits of FTA.
