Effects of ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) on intra-regional trade flows: Evidence from automotive industry

This thesis analyses the impact of the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) on the intra-regional trade flows in the case of the automotive industry. By the gravity model and panel data approach at disaggregated level for 26 years from 1993 to 2018 between 870 pair countries, the study considered the com...
