“…When we compare our results with previous findings, the important role of upstream position in global value chains is consistent with the findings of Caraballo and Jiang (2016) that innovation and patents increase the quality of export potential because one of the upstream activities in GVCs are R&D, innovation, and design, and the most developed economies participate in GVCs with these activities, while developing countries participate with assembly activities, for example. The results of Zaninović (2023) show that trade in value-added is most responsive to improvements in institutional efficiency and are consistent with our findings that institutional quality is an important determinant of domestic value-added in exports.…”

“…In regression analysis of panel data, the most commonly used estimators are Pooled Ordinary Least Square (POLS) estimator, which in most cases lead to biased estimates, then Fixed Effects (FE) estimator, Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood (PPML) estimator, and Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). The PPML estimator (Silva & Tenreyro, 2006) has been shown to be robust in the presence of zero trade values and heteroscedasticity (Saslavsky & Shepherd, 2014;Kejžar et al, 2022, Zaninović, 2023, so we chose to estimate our model using the PPML estimator, however to compare results for both, POLS and PPML regression results (Table 2). Our panel data include value-added trade data between 181 reporting countries and 237 partner countries, covering the period from 2000 to 2019.…”

The current empirical literature shows that logistics plays a vital role in increasing the total volume of international trade. However, there is scarce literature on the impact of logistics performance on global value chain trade. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of logistics performance on global value chain trade, measured by the value-added exports. The empirical specification of this paper is based on the structural gravity model of international trade. The analysis is based on biennial panel data on bilateral trade flows for the EU-15, CEE, and the Western Balkans and covers the period from 2010 to 2018. The model is estimated with a Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood Estimator. The results show that logistics performance appears to have significant positive effects on global value chain trade and that the logistics performance of the partner country plays a more critical role than the logistics performance of the reporting country. Institutional quality matters greatly for global value chain trade. Individual differences in the observed variables were found between selected groups of countries. The need to improve logistics performance and invest in knowledge and technology will help countries improve in value chains, along with adequate institutional support.

“…As the world is moving forward, the importance of soft infrastructure (ICT) is increasing. While an organization's supply-chain efficiency is required for trade, the ICT infrastructure and custom policies have a significant role in enhancing trade, particularly traditional commerce (Zaninovic et al 2023). Shikur (2022) explored the contributions of each LP factor to merchandised products and services trade.…”

Economic integration, which in today’s global trade is the fundamental component of linking economic ties between countries, is another important factor in the acceleration of economic growth. The provision of trade logistics services is essential to a nation’s economic success in international trade activities. It is essential for enterprises engaged in active international trade to achieve competitive advantages. The international trade and localised commercial activity, to a large extent, is dependent on the logistics and supply chain infrastructure and operational capacity. However, the area received little attention from the perspective of applied economics. The in-depth empirical studies on the impacts of logistics on trade efficiency are few and limited. The study aims to investigate the role of logistics and supply chains in international and national trade in a developing country. It uses secondary data for the analysis. The model and software used in the study are the gravity model and GTAP10a. The time horizon used spans 2014–2030. The results show that in order to enhance trading and commercial activities, a developing country should develop logistics and supply chain infrastructure, train people, and design a flexible logistics policy.

“…Over the years, in addition to the fundamental gravity variables, the gross domestic products of the trading partners, which stand for economic masses, and the weighted distance between the capitals of the trading partners, many authors have included various trade facilitation, logistics, socio-economic variables that influence bilateral trade (Anderson & van Wincoop, 2004;Baier & Bergstrand, 2001;Baldwin & Taglioni, 2007;Soloaga et al 2006;Head & Mayer, 2014;Host et al, 2019;Bugarčić et al, 2020;Zaninović et al, 2020;Zaninović et al, 2023). This equation was previously estimated based on cross-section data.…”

This paper estimates the gravity of bilateral trade in services at an aggregate level. The aim of the paper is to assess the effects of social and economic factors on the export of services. A large part of the trade-in services is directly or indirectly related to the tourism industry; therefore, the results of this research are mainly discussed from the perspective of the tourism industry. To achieve the paper's aim, we estimate the augmented gravity model on a sample of 5,359 trading partners from 2000 to 2018. We evaluate our model using the Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood estimator. We include various fixed-effect dummies in our model to address the endogeneity issues. Our results show that standard gravity variables such as economic size and distance are significant for service trade. From the tourism industry perspective, it can be concluded that trade in tourism services is determined by the similarity in economic size, proximity, and common socio-economic factors such as common first language and shared religious beliefs. In contrast, common colonial history has no significant effects on service trade.
