“…As expected, distance exerted a substantial negative impact on agricultural export. This result supported the views of Barbalet et al (2015) and Natos et al (2014), who pointed out that the higher the distance, the higher the transaction costs and the less trade. According to the authors’ estimates, a 1% increase in the distance has the effect of a 0.844% decrease in agriculture exports.…”

This study examined the impact of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)’s ecosystem vitality (EV) on its agricultural exports to the rest of the world. Using a sample of the six major ASEAN countries (ASEAN-6) (including Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam) and their 72 trading partners for the period 2007–2016, we found robust evidence of a positive relationship between the quality of EV and the volume of agricultural exports. At the sectoral level, the quality of EV had the most substantial effects on the ASEAN’s exports of SITC-0 (food and live animals) and exerted the least impact on the ASEAN’s exports of SITC-2 (crude materials, inedible, except fuels). This empirical evidence implies that natural resource-intensive products are more sensitive to the quality of EV. At the country level, EV has the most potent effect on the ASEAN’s agricultural exports to high-income countries and the least impact on the ASEAN’s agricultural exports to low-income countries. To promote agricultural exports, especially to high-income countries, our empirical results suggest that ASEAN countries need to build specific and effective plans for conservation of environment and management of sustainable ecosystems.

“…Entry by a USMCA member into a free trade agreement with a non-market country will allow the other members to terminate USMCA agreement and replace it with a bilateral agreement as between them. Kahouli & Maktouf, 2014a;Barbalet, Greenville, Crook, Gretton, & Breunig, 2015). Within this approach, various models and specifications have been proposed.…”

This paper estimates the trade creation and trade diversion effects of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) using a panel data set of 77 countries for the period 1989–2016. We found that the formation of NAFTA has resulted in both import trade creation and diversion. However, the magnitude of trade creation is higher than that of trade diversion. On the sectoral level, trade creation and diversion occur in both agricultural and non‐agricultural imports, with trade creation exhibiting a higher magnitude. The magnitude of trade creation and diversion is found to be the highest for agricultural imports, which are followed by total and non‐agricultural imports, respectively.

“…Similarly, bilateral trade volumes and the landscape of GVCs will be influenced by the relative size of markets and the economic distance between them, along with cultural factors, such as shared history, a shared language and shared borders (Anderson, 1979). Empirical studies have shown that these structural factors are strong determinants of trade, including for agro-food trade (Barbalet et al, 2015;Carrere, 2006;Cheng and Wall;, Anderson, 1979. However, backward and forward participation indexes pick up different effects.…”
