“…Although the trade flows of BRICS members has drawn some attention from researchers-Yavuz Cakir and Kabundi (2013), Yin (2014), Izotov (2007), Nayyar Rahman (2016), Bezuidenhout and Claassen (2013), Clus-Rossouw et al (2015) Caporale et al (2015, and Fung et al (2015)-we do not find a study that analyzes the similarity in trade integration patterns of BRICS members using a gravity model. This study will fill the gap.…”

This study explores the similarities of trade integrations in the BRICS member countries. Using time series data from 2001 to 2015 and employing the Panel-Gravity trade model approach, we utilized the separate disaggregated trade data of manufactured goods and raw materials of each BRICS member with United Nations-defined regional groups: the African group, the Asia Pacific group, the Eastern European group, the Latin American and Caribbean group, and the Western European. The analysis results revealed that Russia's manufactured goods and raw material trade integration based on the Heckscher-Ohlin framework with these five regional groups is not similar to that of other BRICS members following the Linder hypothesis. Furthermore, the dominance of China in total trade flows of BRICS has made the Chinese Yuan's effects on trade with partners from different groups stronger than other BRICS members' national currencies impacts. Geographical distance as a proxy for transportation cost has a weaker negative effect on the manufactured goods and raw materials trade patterns of China and India than it does on other countries, creating dissimilarity in the trade patterns of BRICS countries.

“…A majority of scholars, however, claim that FDI has a positive impact on economy (Zghidi et al, 2016). They emphasize that FDI accelerates the host countries' economic growth (le Clus-Rossouw et al, 2015). Several studies find that FDI contributed to the economic growth in many countries such as Slovakia (Szkorupová, 2014), Malaysia (Alzaidy et al, 2017), Pakistan (Ali and Hussain, 2017), Vietnam (Nguyen, 2020), Cambodia (Sokang, 2018), Albania (Boriçi and Osmani, 2015), Bosnia and Herzegovina (Susic et al, 2017), Nigeria (Udeh andOdo, 2017), andGhana (MENSAH, 2020).…”

“…Various empirical studies have shown the potential reverse causal link between trade and investment. Le Clus-Rossouw et al (2015) contend that increasing FDI from the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) to South Africa successfully resulted in an increase of export performance from Africa to the BRIC. Another empirical study by Liargovas and Skandalis (2012) also agrees with the positive correlation between trade openness to FDI inflows in 36 developing countries.…”

The Art of Trade War: Spurring Investments in Indonesia Amidst the US–China Trade War

The US–China trade war creates significant opportunities for developing countries, as global manufacturers need to relocate their production facilities out of China to avoid future tariff hikes. However, Indonesia as the biggest economy in the ASEAN is not experiencing any substantial advantage relative to its neighbors, especially compared to Vietnam. While there is no clarity on how long the trade war will last, it is important for Indonesia to strategize quickly to capitalize the opportunities. This article addresses the question of how Indonesia should strategize through country comparison and analysis of two types of policy competition, namely, incentives-based (IBC) and rules-based competition (RBC). In the short-term, Indonesia should be more accommodating for investors of all sizes and maximize the trade-related investment assistance. In the longer term, Indonesia should prudently open up to trade, improve cooperation between investment and trade functions, and build a positive public mindset for free trade.
