Pakistan's Trade Potential with Selected Asian Countries: an Application of Gravity Model Amatual R. Chaudhary

This work critically analyzes Pakistan's trade policy and explores the determinants of bilateral export and import flows between Pakistan and selected Asian countries (SAC) in recent past. Much research on international trade patterns focuses on primitive causes of trade, such as differences in national factor endowments, preferences and technologies but we have focused on macroeconomic determinants to overcome the problems of trade deficit. It contains the latest theoretical and empirical research in the area as well as policy issues which may be helpful for policymakers of other developing countries facing same conditions. Our intended audience includes policymakers, professionals and students of economics and business who wish to examine international transactions.
