The Effect of trade sepecialization and institutional quality on Intra-Asean trade.
Masters thesis, Universiti Sains Malaysia.
Abstract
Intra-ASEAN trade is stagnant at 20% to 25% for the past few decades. This is partly
because ASEAN members are overl-reliant on non-ASEAN countries for their exports.
Several suggestions have been put forward such as exchange rates and trade agreement which
observed so far as having limited effect to increase intra-ASEAN trade. In this study, we
propose and examine the role of trade specialization and the quality of institutions among
ASEAN for a period between 1996 and 2015. ASEAN countries are generally endowed with
similar resources have a tendency to compete with each other for similar .products.
Specialization in certain production, while leaving the other members to produce is
theoretically helpful to promote trade among ASEAN.
