Abstract

The current study investigates the trade potential of Pakistan with South Asian countries using an augmented Gravity Model approach. The model used latest ESCAP dataset with base year 2016. Results show that simple average tariff imposition and GDP of partner countries positively impact the trade value of Pakistan, whereas simple average tariff imposition bilaterally harms the trade volume of the reporting country. Statistically, a one percent change in the tariffs rate will decrease 0.3 percent in Pakistan's total trade. Moreover, a one percent increase in the GDP of the partner countries will increase Pakistan's total trade by 0.5 percent. We also found that common language, landlocked, and distance significantly impact Pakistan's total trade. This research recommends South Asian countries to revise the tariff rates and other non-Tariff barriers to boost trade and connectivity for the better future of the inhabitants of South Asian countries.

巴基斯坦与南亚国家的贸易潜力：重力模型方法

目前的研究使用增广重力模型方法调查了巴基斯坦与南亚国家的贸易潜力。该模型使用了亚太经社会基准年为2016年的最新数据集。结果表明，伙伴国的简单平均关税征收和国内生产总值对巴基斯坦的贸易价值产生了积极影响，而双边简单平均关税的征收则损害了报告国的贸易额。据统计，关税税率变化1%将使巴基斯坦贸易总额减少0.3%。此外，伙伴国GDP增长1%将使巴基斯坦的贸易总额增长0.5%。我们还发现，共同语言、内陆和距离对巴基斯坦的贸易总额产生了重大影响。这项研究建议南亚国家修改关税税率和其他非关税壁垒，以促进贸易和互联互通，为南亚国家居民的美好未来服务。
