This book was released on 2014 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last 22 years, intra-ASEAN trade has found to be liberalized through the formation of AFTA. This study aims to investigate whether the formation of AFTA has strengthened the intra-regional trade by empirically examine the impact of AFTA on intra-ASEAN trade because the arguments still exist whether the formation of AFTA has strengthened the intra-regional trade. In respond to the critics on many past studies that used only aggregate data that provides no information on the nature of intra-trade activities at the commodity level, this study employs the extended gravity model at disaggregated level using the two-digit Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) Revision 2 for all commodities. Based on Hausman specification test, the random effect model was selected for the panel analysis of AFTA member exports for the period 1980 to 2012. Of 66 sets of regressions that I run, the coefficients of AFTA were statistically significant in 55 cases. Income level, population, transportation costs and AFTA effect have found to be significant with intra-ASEAN trade. The results show that trade creation exists for SITC0 (live animals for food), SITC 2 (crude materials), SITC 3 (mineral fuels), SITC 4 (animal and vegetable oils) and SITC 9 (other commodities). This indicates that AFTA has been a successful in promoting intra-ASEAN trade. However, ASEAN needs to improve its policies especially targeting on growth and development as majority of the commodities being traded fell under electronics and automotive categories. On the other hands, the AFTA member countries need to explore other sectors that are available to them such as agricultural business to overcome problems with food security and hunger problems.

Book Synopsis Regional Integration and Global Free Trade by : Mark S. LeClair
Download or read book Regional Integration and Global Free Trade written by Mark S. LeClair and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent trade initiatives suggest that there is renewed interest in forming tariff-free regional trading zones. Running concurrent with this move toward regional integration is the multilateral process of global trade liberalization. This text looks at the two issues. Chapter one examines the inherent conflict between the two main approaches to reducing barriers to trade - economic integration, and multilateralism. Chapter two provides a theoretical framework for evaluating the relative accomplishments of both regional trading blocs and multilateral free trade. Chapter three utilizes a number of theoretical constructs to evaluate the effects of regional trading arrangements, and discusses the trade history of the European Union. Chapter four provides an analysis of the trade effects of tariff reductions achieved under the GATT system, and chapter five provides recommendations for ensuring continued progress in multilateral tariff reductions under the banner of the World Trade Organization.

Book Synopsis Economic and Environmental Impact of Free Trade in East and South East Asia by : Kakali Mukhopadhyay

This book was released on 2009-12-18 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the East and South East Asian region has witnessed a rapid expansion of regional economic cooperation through bilateral and plurilateral free trade agreements. The current book attempts to comprehensively analyze the economic and environmental impacts of regional economic integration in East and South East Asia to the year 2020. This region has some of the fastest growing economies of the world. A global economic model was used to undertake the analysis. A rare feature of the book is the detailed environmental implications of the Regional Trade Agreements focusing on air, water, and waste pollution. Economic integration among the East and South East Asian region has been an important agenda item for the academic and policy communities in recent years. The study provides insight into pursuing a concrete multilateral trade liberalization policy (combining ASEAN and other countries in East Asia) and throws more light on the on-going trade and environment debate. This book will be a good addition to the field of trade and the environment. The academic community – primarily researchers and policy makers, and world bodies, such as the WTO, ADB and the World Bank, will benefit from the book.

Book Synopsis The Future of the ASEAN Economic Integration by : Kiki Verico
Download or read book The Future of the ASEAN Economic Integration written by Kiki Verico and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Verico discusses the ASEAN economic integration from dual perspectives of time span (trade, investment and finance) and framework (bilateral, sub-regional, regional and regional plus). The work is a comprehensive study of the integration in the wake of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC)’s inauguration in late 2015. Examining various economic agreement levels from the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA), Bilateral Free Trade Agreement (BFTA) and the AEC to financial integration in ASEAN, Verico attempts to envisage the future of ASEAN in completing its regional economic integration from trade to investment and finance. Verico argues that, in the absence of a customs union, ASEAN must utilize the open-regionalism frameworks of the ASEAN Plus One, ASEAN Plus Three, Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership and others in order to shift its economic integration level in this way.
