“…Results related to market share expansion in market size is beneficial to Pakistan, because of the response of labor, capital accumulation, vector of consumer price, and foreign direct investment. Thus, as found by Imran et al (2017), these factors are less effective in terms of China to equalize regional economic imbalances.…”

“…Similarly, the Chinese government's policy of One Belt One Road (OBOR) is an initiative to combine Eurasian markets in such a way that every participant country can equally share the economic benefits. Imran et al (2017) presented a detailed case of Chinese provincial industrial distribution and pointed out that according to recent Chinese government policy, China is trying to redistribute their economic activities from the northeast to the northwest and for that reason, OBOR could be the source of equalization inside China. Meanwhile, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) provides an opening (in northwest China) for the OBOR to connect to the warm-water ports of the Gwadar coastal region in southwest Pakistan.…”

Introduction: Economic ties and trade blocs increase the flow of trade between participating countries and lead to different levels of economic and structural changes. Case description: This paper focuses on the structure of industrial value-added between China and Pakistan, as the two countries recently launched the CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor) project. Discussion and evaluation: This study utilizes panel data from 1995 to 2015 to test certain factor effects on regional value-added through econometric analyses. The results show that each country has its own economic growth rate and market size that respond differently to industrial value-added production. Conclusion: Aggregate factor productivity at China is higher than in Pakistan but growth in factor productivity in the latter is higher than the former; similarly, the share of bilateral trade is higher in the case of Pakistan. Although each country responds differently to the new economic ties, the macroeconomic results support bilateral economic ties between them.

“…Allocation of industrial value added across regions has inspired a vast attention of policy makers and economists where researchers identified numerous elements as a source of economic prosperity, (see Imran et al, 2020;Baldwin and Okubo, 2009;Behrens et al, 2009). Economic ties produce such forces which either cause to increase flow of goods or dominate agglomerative powers of a region or market over opponents, as Hanson and Song (1998) for NAFTA and Davis and Weinstein (2003) for OECD countries explained the power of trade blocks (See also Imran et al (2020) and Imran et al (2017)). This paper addresses one of the Asian treaties named as CPEC that will not only change the economic history of both countries but will have its impact on the neighbouring countries, Kanwal et al (2018).…”

PurposeEconomic ties and formation of trade blocks escalates the movement of goods among the participants and bring different economic and structural changes. Therefore, the current research emphasises on the distribution of market structure and industrial value added among the participant countries of China–Pakistan economic corridor project while focussing on pre and post FTA status.Design/methodology/approachThis study utilises the footloose capital model for analysing whether China or Pakistan is more suitable for attracting factors of production to increase their share of industrial value added. For econometric analyses the current research utilises data from 1995 to 2018 and maximum likelihood effect method to assess factors that affect regional value-added distribution.FindingsResults show that both countries owe different level of economic developments. Effect of capital is, comparatively, similar for both countries while Pakistan supports trade openness which points towards the fact of positive utilisation of abundant labour resources in Pakistan by establishing industrial structure either through domestic capital formation or foreign investment. Whereas, share of labour and trade openness of China positively affect value added production of China.Originality/valueThis is one of the unique studies that studies the regional economic treaties usefulness for any developing country across Asia. Where this study uses the footloose capital model and maximum likelihood method for its analysis which is not previously done, while for detailed analyses the study further divides the timeframe into two parts as pre-FTA ranges from 1995 to 2006, post-FTA from 2007 to 2018 while overall results consist of whole-time frame.

The presented article analyzes regional markets, for heavy industry and machine building products for the Azerbaijani economy. In terms of trade relations and territory, the markets of Turkey, the Russian Federation, Georgia, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Moldova, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Armenia were selected and evaluated. The database of the study consists of mutual import and export data for the mentioned countries in 2014–2018. Based on the import-export data collected covering the years 2014–2018 on six-digit codes of regional markets, the revealed comparative advantage and localization coefficients on import and export were calculated. As a result, importing and exporting countries have been identified in the regional markets through the calculated coefficients for each of the 5 years of heavy industry and machine building products considered. Thus, in terms of imports and exports, the countries with the highest coefficients were selected.
