本文旨在研究选定的区域贸易协定（RTA）如何影响东亚的贸易效率，这是衡量实际出口额与其最大潜在出口额的比率。为了实现这一目标，我们使用了随机前沿引力模型和16个国家1990年至2018年的双边贸易数据。我们的研究结果表明，区域贸易协定一般提高成员国之间的贸易效率。此外，我们区分了集团内和集团外贸易，并发现由于区域贸易协定的出口转移是罕见的东亚。另一方面，我们的研究结果表明，东盟国家的进口倾向于从非成员国转移。
This paper aims to investigate how selected regional trade agreements (RTAs) affect trade efficiency in East Asia, which is measured by the ratio of actual exports to their maximum potential export value. To achieve this, we use a stochastic frontier gravity model and bilateral trade data of 16 countries from 1990 to 2018. Our results indicate that RTAs generally improve trade efficiency between member countries. Moreover, we distinguish between intra-bloc and extra-bloc trade, and found that export diversion due to RTAs is rare in East Asia. On the other hand, our result shows that the imports of ASEAN countries tend to divert away from non-members.
