“…Moreover, in a recent free trade agreement (FTA) analysis, using the gravity model, albeit at differing variations of the model, Choi and Minondo (2019) looked at the effects of the Central European Free Trade Agreement on Albania's trade. The evidence based on the gravity model's equation showed a positive impact on Albania's exports.…”

The aim of the study was to analyse the effect of the Southern Africa Development Community agreement (SADC) (excluding Southern African Customs Union (SACU)) on South African wood and the wood products trade, using the gravity model. The study used panel data from 1996 to 2016. The results showed that the SADC (excluding SACU) agreement positively impacts the exports of wood and wood products. However, on imports, there is insufficient evidence to indicate that the SADC (excluding SACU) agreement has a statistically significant positive effect on South African wood and wood products. The SADC (excluding SACU) is an important market for South African wood exports and wood products exports. Therefore, maintaining or improving trade facilitation measures could further benefit South Africa's exports of wood and wood products.

“…Recent empirical studies have provided strong results with as much rigor as possible. Bergstrand et al (2015) (2018) and Choi and Minondo (2019). Several recent studies estimate gravity trade models using stochastic frontier analysis to examine trade agreements' efficiency relative to maximum trade levels (Ravishankar & Stack, 2014;Stack et al, 2018) and the long-run effects of trade flows (Anderson and Yotov, 2018;Devadason & Mubarik, 2020).…”

Is Trade in COVID-19 Products in ASEAN Economies a Building or Stumbling Block?

Stumbling blocks to regional integration continue to pose a serious threat to the World Trade Organization (WTO), particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to examine the effect of regional economic integration on trade in COVID-19 products for Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries using quarterly data for 2010-2020. A panel data model is estimated using the Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood approach to address zero trade values, cross-sectional dependence, and heterogeneity problems. The findings of a case study on bilateral trade in COVID-19 products reveal that the ASEAN regional trade agreement is a stumbling block to the WTO's rules-based multilateral trading system. The results indicate that the home country's productive capacity, the host country's absorptive capacity, the countries' similarity in size and per capita income, and the countries' remoteness have positive and significant relationships with trade in COVID-19 products in ASEAN economies. This study provides several policy implications for Southeast Asian countries.

Does it make sense to deepen the economic cooperation of the western balkan economies?

The article discusses the structural changes in bilateral trade flows between Western Balkan (WB) countries in 2007-2018. The basic idea was to address whether there is a justification for the often proposed deepening of economic cooperation among WB states. After analysing the dynamics of mutual trade, we computed the value of intra-industry trade, whose potential decrease could indicate a divergence between observed trade structures. To detect a possible structural change in WB trade sectors, qualitative changes in those countries' exports were calculated through the tendencies of a share of products at higher levels of processing. After calculating the export concentration coefficients, all the results were compared with those achieved by these countries in trade with the EU and in total. The article argues that there is no solid reason to pursue policies for strengthening mutual economic ties particularly towards a customs union, especially given the more attractive prospect of EU integration.
