Knowledge assets and bilateral-trade flows in ASEAN-5 countries : an extension of gravity panel data model
This study analyses knowledge asset as a determinant factor to bilateral trade flows in ASEAN-5 countries, namely, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand from 2000 to 2015. The gravity model of trade is extended by incorporating the five components of knowledge assets, namely...

| description | This study analyses knowledge asset as a determinant factor to bilateral trade flows in ASEAN-5 countries, namely,
Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand from 2000 to 2015. The gravity model of trade is extended
by incorporating the five components of knowledge assets, namely, national’s market capital, financial capital, renewal
and development capital, human capital and process capital as explanatory variables. The empirical investigation
is based on pooled ASEAN-5 data and done using random effects and fixed effects models. The principle findings
corroborate that knowledge assets are positive and have significant effects on bilateral trade flows in ASEAN-5 countries.
The consideration of improving human capital and financial capital is vital given that it is a major contribution to the
changes of bilateral trade in ASEAN. This study is open for further research on the negative and significant influences
of process capital towards bilateral trade flows in ASEAN-5 countries. |
