“…The effect of the GATT/WTO in promoting agricultural trade was not considered (see Rose (2004) using aggregate trade data). Finally, as Zahniser et al (2002) noted, additional variables that more fully describe international agricultural markets should improve the performance of the gravity model.…”

The gravity model is used extensively to investigate the trade flow effects of Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs). A notable feature common to previous research is the use of aggregate trade data. These studies typically report conflicting, and even negative results of the effect of RTAs on members' trade. Using recent developments in the gravity equation suggested by Baier and Bergstrand (2007) and Anderson and van Wincoop (2003) , this article demonstrates that RTA effects on members' trade depend fundamentally on whether the analysis focuses on agricultural or nonagricultural sectors, on the particular agreement analyzed, and on the length of the phase-in period that characterizes almost all RTAs.

“…A previous study conducted by Zahniser et al (2002) examined the impact of regional economic integration on exports of agricultural commodities of The United States (U.S.) revealed that the membership on free trade agreement showed positive value and statistically significant effect on export. Another study about the effect of free trade agreement on Turkish agricultural exports was conducted by Erdem and Nazliogrlu (2008), the results showed that Turkish agricultural exports to the Turkish-European Union FTA countries shows positive and significant which means that Turkish exports to the FTA countries were higher than non-FTA members.…”

This paper focuses on investigation whether Indonesian membership on ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) increased export of agriculture commodity. The panel augmented gravity model data from 33 major partner countries over the period of [2000][2001][2002][2003][2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012][2013][2014] has been applied to analyze the factors affected Indonesian agricultural exports. The overall finding showed that Indonesian agricultural exports were positively correlated with the size of economy and partner countries population, while they are negatively correlated with the appreciation of currency exchange rate and the enrollment on free trade agreement. Moreover, the Indonesian membership on AFTA does not gave significant impact and profitable on Indonesian agricultural exports.

“…Nordås (2004) utilised a basic model to examine barriers to textile trade. Gould (1998), Zahniser et al. (2002), Furtan and van Melle (2004) and Jayasinghe and Sarker (2008) employed gravity models to study agricultural trade in North America.…”

"Many factors shape the global network of bilateral trade including fundamental forces of supply and demand factors and government policies. This study uses the generalised gravity framework to distinguish among the different drivers that either deter or aid partner trade in land-intensive agriculture and labour-intensive clothing. The dataset used in the analysis includes bilateral trade among 70 countries in 1995, 2000 and 2005. Collectively, the 70 countries account for 85% of the world's trade in agriculture and 96% of its GDP. Empirical results lend support to the Heckscher-Ohlin explanation of trade, namely that relative factor endowments motivate cross-border trade. Results also show that tariffs are not always binding and bilateral free-trade agreements more often divert rather than create trade." Copyright (c) 2009 The Agricultural Economics Society.
