The major instruments of trade control are license, quantitative restrictions and foreign exchange control rather than through high import duties or export levies. Moreover, investment restriction, trade sanction and several restricted measures imposed by the United States and European countries also had large impact on the structure and direction of Myanmar’s trade.\n\nThis paper has attempted to identify the factors that affect on the directions and trends of Myanmar’s imports and to provide trade policy implications under the framework of basic gravity model. In order to quantify the determinant factors of Myanmar’s imports, actual bilateral import volume is compared to the predicted volume estimated by the gravity equation.\n\nDuring a decade, Myanmar has more relied on the neighboring and other Asian countries for its external trade. However, actual import volume of Myanmar from its neighboring countries are much lower than the potential predicted by the gravity equation, thus it can be envisaged that there are existence of trade barriers and unrecorded informal trades in border area. Even though tariff rates of Myanmar is relatively low in line with CEPT scheme of AFTA, effective tariff rate is supposed to be high and thereby creating low volume of actual trade recorded. These findings suggest that having large extent of informal trades in border areas, Myanmar needs to take possible measures to regularize and institutionalize such trade activities in order to promote formal trade and improve government revenues"}]},"item_1583103108160":{"attribute_name":"Keywords","attribute_value_mlt":[{"interim":"AFTA, Imports, Informal trade, Gravity model"}]},"item_1583103120197":{"attribute_name":"Files","attribute_type":"file","attribute_value_mlt":[{"accessrole":"open_access","date":[{"dateType":"Available","dateValue":"2024-03-07"}],"displaytype":"preview","filename":"Dr. Nu Nu Lwin,  Myanmar Import(MAAS)_Vol.X_No.11.pdf","filesize":[{"value":"7.5 MB"}],"format":"application/pdf","licensetype":"license_0","url":{"url":"https://meral.edu.mm/record/9356/files/Dr. Nu Nu Lwin,  Myanmar Import(MAAS)_Vol.X_No.11.pdf"},"version_id":"1425f297-76d2-4a83-b8f3-b41ab49b3127"}]},"item_1583103131163":{"attribute_name":"Journal articles","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_journal_title":"Journal of the Myanmar Academy of Arts and Science","subitem_volume":"Vol.X, No.11"}]},"item_1583105942107":{"attribute_name":"Authors","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_authors":[{"subitem_authors_fullname":"Nu Nu Lwin"}]}]},"item_1583108359239":{"attribute_name":"Upload type","attribute_value_mlt":[{"interim":"Publication"}]},"item_1583108428133":{"attribute_name":"Publication type","attribute_value_mlt":[{"interim":"Journal article"}]},"item_1583159729339":{"attribute_name":"Publication date","attribute_value":"2012-06-01"},"item_title":"An Analysis on influencing factors of Myanmar's imports (Nu Nu Lwin, 2012)","item_type_id":"21","owner":"20","path":["1582963436320","1582965639643"],"publish_date":"2020-06-01","publish_status":"0","recid":"9356","relation_version_is_last":true,"title":["An Analysis on influencing factors of Myanmar's imports (Nu Nu Lwin, 2012)"],"weko_creator_id":"20","weko_shared_id":-1},"updated":"2024-05-27T03:54:51.147932+00:00"}
