India-ASEAN Trade Panel Data for Gravity Model Analysis, 1990-2022

330 observations of panel data from 1990 to 2022 analyze bilateral trade flows between India and ASEAN countries. The dataset includes determinants like GDP, population, tariff rates, distance, historical ties, democracy, trade openness, and globalization. Author Prajakta Arote used Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Generalized Least Squares (GLS) estimations to assess the impact of the India-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement.

Use Cases

• Estimating gravity model coefficients based on GDP, population, and distance variables
• Analyzing the impact of tariff rates on bilateral trade volumes
• Evaluating the effect of historical ties like shared colonial history and language on trade
• Testing the significance of control variables like trade openness, democracy, and globalization
• Assessing the positive effect of the AIFTA dummy variable on trade flows

Strengths

• 330 observations provide a panel data structure for longitudinal analysis
• Data spans 33 years (1990-2022), offering a long-term temporal perspective
• Analysis addresses econometric issues like heteroskedasticity and cross-sectional dependency using GLS

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The dataset is 9.5 KB, indicating a very limited scope and likely aggregated summary statistics
