Using an unbalanced panel dataset of bilateral trade flows from 1992-2009, we assess the potential impacts of the … formation of ASEAN+3 and ASEAN+6 free trade areas (FTAs) on Laos' trade. We find that bilateral trade flows between Laos and its … trade partners are positively related to the sum of bilateral gross domestic product (GDP) and the degree of similarity in …
