Therefore, this study seeks to examine the evolution of research surrounding ASEAN and RCEP economic frameworks, especially focusing on tariff and trade liberalization. This study used data extracted from Scopus database to perform bibliometric analysis. Through bibliometric analysis, this study uncovered the research trend, total publications, total citations and citation per paper. The most productive and authors, prominent journals, countries and institutions are revealed within these two significant economic frameworks. This study provides a foundational overview of existing literature on tariff and trade liberalization in ASEAN and RCEP, offering important implications for decision-makers, academics, and practitioners interested in the regional economic integration. Despite the increasing number of studies on ASEAN and RCEP, existing works remain scattered and lack systematic bibliometric analysis. This study addresses this gap by mapping the intellectual landscape by providing evidence-based insights that inform future research directions and regional policy discussions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45011,"journal":{"name":"Transnational Corporations Review","volume":"17 4","pages":"Article 200142"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145108576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This partnership will undeniably reshape regional economic dynamics. To better understand the ability of the RCEP to reshape the economic dynamics in the region, it is essential to evaluate its impact on trade and foreign direct investment (FDI). This paper therefore aims at critically evaluating RCEP's effects on trade and FDI in the East and South East Asian regions. Assessing the impact of RCEP on trade and FDI is crucial for policymakers, businesses, and investors, as it provides fundamental insights into how the agreement might drive economic growth, improve competitiveness, and promote regional and economic integration. Additionally, it will ensure that stakeholders are better equipped to navigate and capitalize on the opportunities associated with the agreement, while mitigating any potential downsides and overcoming inevitable challenges.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45011,"journal":{"name":"Transnational Corporations Review","volume":"17 4","pages":"Article 200141"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145108577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Does digitalization affect FDI inflows in different ways between advanced and developing countries? To unravel this question, we employ broadband subscriptions and Internet users as proxies for digitalization, examining their influence on FDI inflows across 37 advanced and 100 developing countries from 2002 through 2022. The two-step difference GMM Arellano-Bond and PMG estimators are applied to control endogeneity and serial autocorrelation. The findings present intriguing insights: First, digitalization and institutional quality emerge as magnets for FDI inflows in developing economies, while exerting deterrent effects in advanced countries. Second, market size increases FDI inflows in advanced economies, but decreases them in developing countries. Third, across advanced and developing countries, trade openness and infrastructure positively influence FDI inflows, whereas inflation is a hindrance. These revelations underscore essential policy implications for the governments of both advanced and developing countries. Policymakers may need to tailor strategies to harness the benefits of digitalization for FDI attraction, taking into account the distinct economic contexts and challenges faced by each group of countries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45011,"journal":{"name":"Transnational Corporations Review","volume":"17 3","pages":"Article 200148"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145105696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
