We analyze the major trade blocks in Western Hemisphere and their effects on intra-regional trade flows using data for the period 1980-2006. We use an augmented gravity model to estimate the effect of various trade blocks on trade flows within and across membership other Western Hemispheric countries. The findings of this study are consistent with findings of previous studies on Western Hemisphere trade flows and shed some light on whether the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas is beneficial or not for Western Hemispheric countries.

Indonesia terlibat aktif dalam jejaring kerjasama Free Trade Area (FTA), salah satunya dengan menjadi anggota pada ASEAN-China FTA atau dikenal juga dengan ACFTA. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor yang memengaruhi nilai impor Indonesia dan mengetahui dampak ACFTA terhadap trade creation dan trade diversion Indonesia. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan model panel data dengan data sekunder selama periode tahun 2000 hingga 2018 yang dikumpulkan dari WITS, WORLD BANK, UNCTAD, dan CEPII. Hasil empiris menunjukkan bahwa setelah ACFTA diberlakukan, nilai impor Indonesia dari negara-negara anggota ACFTA mengalami kenaikan. Nilai impor Indonesia secara signifikan dipengaruhi secara positif oleh GDP per kapita Indonesia, GDP per kapita mitra dagang (negara ACFTA+3), dan jarak ekonomi antar negara. Sementara nilai tukar riil antar negara berpengaruh negatif terhadap nilai impor Indonesia. Secara keseluruhan Indonesia diduga mengalami kerugian dari adanya ACFTA akibat terjadinya trade diversion dari negara non-anggota ke negara-negara anggota di wilayah ACFTA +3.

The ASEAN-India Free Trade Area (AIFTA) policy has been effectively run since January 1, 2010. It is time to evaluate its benefits for trade relations between its members, especially between Indonesia and India. Analysis of the effectiveness and benefits of AIFTA policy in this study uses the Gravity Model by calculating the variables of Indonesia's GDP, India's GDP, transportation costs, and AIFTA's policies enggaged in trade relations between Indonesia and India using data from first quarter of 2004 until first quarter of 2018. This research shows that implementation of AIFTA does not have any effect on trade between two countries since trade between them had already reaching normal level. This research wishes to give a better insight on policy taking, especially for ongoing and forthcoming trade agreement.

Indonesia telah menjalin berbagai hubungan kerjasama dengan negara-negara Amerika Latin. Berbagai upaya penjajakan kerjasama terus dilakukan, diantaranya dengan MERCOSUR (terdiri dari Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, dan Uruguay). Negara-negara anggota MERCOSUR merupakan pasar potensial untuk produk ekspor Indonesia. Tujuan penelitian ini: (1) mengidentifikasi kinerja perdagangan Indonesia-MERCOSUR, (2) menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi ekspor Indonesia ke MERCOSUR, dan (3) merumuskan strategi kerjasama perdagangan Indonesia-MERCOSUR. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah: Analisis deskriptif kualitatif, Gravity Model dan Analisis SWOT. Kinerja perdagangan Indonesia- MERCOSUR, menunjukkan nilai ekspor impor Indonesia dengan MERCOSUR masih kecil dibandingkan dengan negara-negara pesaing. Tarif impor yang diberlakukan oleh negara-negara MERCOSUR terhadap produk-produk utama Indonesia masih relatif tinggi, sebaliknya tarif impor yang diberlakukan oleh Indonesia terhadap produk-produk utama MERCOSUR relatif rendah. Hasil estimasi Gravity Model menunjukkan ekspor Indonesia ke MERCOSUR dipengaruhi secara positif dan hanya signifikan oleh GDP negara-negara MERCOSUR.  Rekomendasi strategi kerjasama perdagangan yang dihasilkan yaitu: (a) mengoptimalkan kemampuan Indonesia memenuhi pasar MERCOSUR terutama pada produk seperti: kelapa sawit, karet, onderdil kendaraan bermotor, serat buatan, alas kaki, kelapa dan tembakau, (b) meningkatkan kerjasama secara intensif kepada negara-negara MERCOSUR dalam bentuk Free Trade Area (FTA), (c) memperbaiki stuktur tarif dan hambatan non tarif antara Indonesia- MERCOSUR. dan (d) meningkatkan diplomasi ekonomi Indonesia-MERCOSUR.

This article adopts the augmented versions of the Gravity Model to examine the effects of the signing of the ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA) on the bilateral aggregate trades. Specifically, ACFTA dummy variables are incorporated in the basic model is to estimate the direction and magnitude of the ACFTA effects. A total of 79 trading partners of ASEAN member countries plus China were examined in this article. The study finds that the Gross Domestic Product, population, natural endowment, distance, and common language are the main determining factors of the bilateral trade for ASEAN member countries and their trading partners. Estimated results from this Augmented Gravity Model showed that ACFTA had increased the bilateral aggregate trades not only between intra-bloc member countries but also intra-bloc and extra-bloc countries. With this positive finding, ASEAN and China could consider expanding their free trade area to a broader regional perspective, enhancing economic growth and reducing regional inequality.

Abstract. Broadening the scope of economic interests, together with the involvement of the strategic partner to resolve security issues, brings the dialogue between Ukraine and Turkey to a new level. This intensified negotiations on the establishment of a free trade area and the implementation of joint projects in the defense industry, cultural and humanitarian spheres. Thus, the study of priority areas of cooperation between Ukraine and Turkey in the Black Sea region for the effective realization of Ukraine’s geostrategic interests is becoming topical. The purpose of the article is to study the peculiarities of the economic partnership between Ukraine and Turkey, to calculate the impact and to determine the advantages and prospects of a deeper bilateral trade liberalization. The methodology is based on assessment of export specialization; the characterization of the relative advantages by the RXA coefficient; the impact assessment of bilateral trade on economic development through a descriptive gravity model. The study found that high tariff barriers are now applied to Ukrainian exporters in the Turkish market. Total exports from Ukraine to Turkey declined by more than 30 per cent from 2011 to 2019, while the low value-added products dominate in the highly concentrated structure of export flows. On the contrary, Turkish exports to Ukraine are quite diversified. The top ten exports include machinery, electrical equipment, vehicles and knitwear. Ukrainian grains, oilseeds and oils, iron and steel, ore and rail transport have comparative advantages in the Turkish market. The military-industrial sector and IT are promising areas for export development and investment cooperation in the Ukrainian economy. Bilateral trade surpluses are in favor of Ukraine. The economic development of Ukraine significantly influences the volume of bilateral trade, according to the results of the descriptive gravity model. A $1 increase in Ukraine’s GDP will lead to an increase in bilateral trade by $0.8. This makes Ukraine much more interested in entering the Turkish market.
