The comparative advantage of a location shapes its industrial structure. Current theoretical models based on this principle do not take stance how advantages in different industries or locations are related with each other, what such patterns relatedness might imply about the evolution advantage. We build simple Ricardian-inspired model and show that hidden information inter-industry inter-loca...

This study analyzes whether ongoing liberalization has resulted in more profound trade expansion for Indonesia versus regional partner countries. A gravity model is first employed to find agreements significant intra-regional exports or diverted trade. applies the generalized method of moment (GMM-sys) and Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood (PPML) estimator. Four groups manufactured products are...
