This study analyses the effects of trade facilitation on Chilean exports in 2006-2014. It reviews evidence and studies on trade facilitation and its effects, mainly in South America; and it analyses Chile's export basket. An extended gravity model is then estimated for Chile's bilateral trade flow with 89 countries, to measure the effect of trade facilitation during the period analysed. The estimation is performed using static panel data with fixed, random and dynamic effects. The key results show that the estimation that best describes Chile's export behaviour is that which uses static panel data with random and dynamic effects and two lags of the dependent variable (exports). They show that per-container export costs have a negative effect on this trade flow.

“…• Trade barriers generally. Ueki (2015) analyses the impact of trade costs on the propensity to export and the intensity of firms in Southeast Asia and Latin America. It uses World Bank enterprise surveys and concludes that trade barriers do not significantly affect the export intensity of the firms in question.…”

“…Much of the scholarly work on Asia–LAC largely examines within a regional or multilateral (interregional) framework (Zaini and Ismail, 2016; Mikic and Jakobson, 2010) and therefore does not fully provide an in-depth analysis of CRT. Bilateralism is important for understanding the economic gains from specific industries that underlie CRT and appraising the importance of the regulatory environment (Jackson, 2007; Ueki, 2015) for promoting trade. Therefore, more work through single-case studies of “unnatural” trade partnerships is needed to advance arguments on the potential and barriers to CRT.…”

“…Within the Malaysia–Chile partnership, the study also extends beyond the bounds of estimating trade potentials to identifying barriers to trade. Since the Malaysia–Chile FTA (MCFTA)[5] (as with other FTAs) is not a perfect trade policy instrument to increase trade integration between signatories (Wignaraja et al , 2012; ADB, 2012), other residual regulatory impediments (non-tariff barriers (NTBs) and logistic costs) continue to prevail (Srimoon and Nguyen, 2014; Ueki, 2015). Similarly, a lack of adequate information remains on market access[6] and other barriers in both nations to facilitate decisions on trade opportunities (King et al , 2012).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the potentials and barriers to trade in the Malaysia–Chile partnership. Design/methodology/approach This paper estimates two-way export potentials from an augmented three-dimensional panel gravity model of bilateral trade between Malaysia and the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region, spanning the 1990–2014 period. Utilizing interviews with government officials and industry experts in Malaysia and Chile, this paper also provides insights into market access issues. Findings The empirical findings of this study suggest that Malaysia has trade potential in Chile, but Chile is “overtrading” with Malaysia. By major products traded, both countries are found to be “overtrading,” as the export basket remains concentrated in this partnership. Through the interviews, fewer restrictions are reported by the various stakeholders, as the extent of trade engagement remains somewhat low. The main challenge identified within specific sectors in both the countries relates mainly to procedures established to secure compliance with labeling regulations for food products. Research limitations/implications The sectoral findings reveal that there is indeed scope for expanding exports beyond the current major products traded, particularly in base metal and scientific and measuring equipment from the Malaysia and Chile perspectives, respectively. Thus, product diversification matters to intensify trade cooperation between the two countries. Non-tariff measures need to be streamlined by both parties to ensure further product diversification to food trade, particularly for Chile. Originality/value The limited literature on cross-regional trade within the broader framework of Southeast Asia and LAC only support the fact that potentials do exist but do not appear to provide much research evidence. Empirically, this paper will add to the existing literature on the potentials that hold in the Malaysia–Chile partnership. Further, a lack of adequate information remains on market access and other barriers in both the nations to facilitate decisions on trade opportunities. The findings of the study fill that vacuum of information pertaining to market access and trade facilitation through interviews with various stakeholders in Malaysia and Chile.

Ueki (2015) investiga el impacto de los costos del comercio en la propensión a exportar y en la intensidad de las empresas en el sudeste de Asia y América Latina. Utiliza encuestas dirigidas a empresas del Banco Mundial y concluye que los obstáculos al comercio no afectan significativamente la intensidad exportadora de estas últimas.…”

La facilitación comercial y sus efectos en el comercio bilateral chileno de 2006 a 2014Darcy Fuenzalida-O'Shee, Bárbara Valenzuela-Klagges y Alejandro Corvalán-Quiroz ResumenEn este estudio se analizan los efectos de la facilitación del comercio en las exportaciones chilenas durante el período 2006-2014. Se revisarán las evidencias y los estudios sobre la facilitación del comercio y sus efectos, principalmente en América del Sur, y se analizará el patrón exportador chileno. Posteriormente, se estimará un modelo gravitacional ampliado relativo a flujos del comercio exterior bilateral chileno con 89 países, para medir el efecto de la facilitación del comercio durante el período analizado. Dicha estimación se realizará mediante datos de panel estáticos con efectos fijos, aleatorios y dinámicos. Los principales resultados confirman que la estimación que mejor describe el comportamiento exportador chileno es aquella en la que se emplean datos de panel estático con efectos aleatorios y dinámicos con dos retardos de la variable dependiente exportación, y determinan que los costos de exportación por contenedor tienen un efecto negativo en este flujo comercial.
