本文使用 2000 年至 2001 年期间 75 个国家的分类制成品面板估计了贸易便利化与贸易流量之间的关系。使用引力模型定义、衡量和评估四类贸易便利化对双边贸易流动的影响。贸易便利化的四项措施是：港口基础设施（空运和海运）、海关环境、监管环境和电子商务基础设施。结果表明，将四个领域的全球产能提高到世界平均水平的一半将使贸易增加 3770 亿美元。世界上大多数地区的出口增幅均超过进口增幅。在很大程度上，这一结果源于对经合组织市场的出口增加，这是通过国家自身努力改善港口、海关、法规和服务基础设施而获得的。此外，结果表明，世界贸易组织正在讨论的关贸总协定第五条、第八条和第十条相关领域的贸易便利化改革和能力建设可以显着扩大贸易和出口。实现这一目标所需的许多改革措施不一定需要大规模的投资项目，而是需要采取法律和行政改革行动来促进贸易。版权所有布莱克韦尔出版有限公司 2005。
This paper estimates the relationship between trade facilitation and trade flows using a panel of disaggregated manufactured goods for the 2000-2001 period for 75 countries. Four categories of trade facilitation are defined, measured and assessed for their impact on bilateral trade flows using a gravity model. The four measures of trade facilitation are: port infrastructure (air and maritime), customs environment, regulatory environments and e-business infrastructure. The results suggest that raising global capacity halfway to the world average in the four areas would increase trade by $377 billion. Most regions of the world increase exports more than imports. In large part, this result stems from increased exports to OECD markets that is obtained through a country's own effort to improve ports, customs, regulations and services infrastructures. In addition, the results suggest that reform and capacity building in trade facilitation in areas related to GATT Articles V, VIII and X that are under discussion at the World Trade Organisation could expand trade and exports significantly. Many of the reform measures necessary to achieve this goal need not necessarily require large-scale investment projects, but rather action in legal and administrative reform to facilitate trade.
