To empirically assess the impact of the ASEAN-China Free Trade Area (ACFTA) on ASEAN export efficiency into the Chinese market across pre- and post-enactment periods.
Utilized a structured gravity approach to model potential export patterns at aggregate and industry levels.
Evaluated trade flow variations across key implementation phases, specifically the 2004 initial signing (Article 8) and the 2010 full enactment.
Trade data surrounding the initial 2004 agreement demonstrated no clear or consistent improvements in export efficiency.
Full implementation of the ACFTA in 2010 significantly improved sustainable export efficiency at both industry and country levels, achieving gains without displacing exports to other major global partners.
