8. Results
○ This paper finds that the influence of trade gravity variables is dependent on trading partners. For
instance, tradewith rich nations ismore sensitive to distance, economic size, and trading partners,
openness of trading partners, and exchange rate, than trade with low income
○ The paper suggests that the trade policy should not ignore the importance of the level of development,
maintenance of close economic ties, and the influence of the ASEAN, APEC, and the
WTO on trade in the long and short run.
