Now Japan is negotiating with Australia about the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA). If the EPA between Japan and Australia include beef, how will international beef trade change? In this paper, we analyze this problem using the spatial equilibrium model. As a result, when tariff quota from Australia is small, there are not the effects to Japan. Because Japanese beef imports change from other countries to Australia. But as tariff quota is larger since Japan has imported beef from Australia enough, the, Japanese beef imports are larger, while the Japanese beef imports from Australia are larger. The effect to Japan is larger. But the effect to Australia is comparatively small and smaller than United States of America and Brazil.
