The premise of studying how to improve the trade facilitation level of Free Trade Area is to measure the trade facilitation level of free trade area. In this paper, trade facilitation is divided into four categories and 19 sub-indexes, and the measurement model of trade facilitation in free trade area is established to measure the trade facilitation level between China and ASEAN countries.

Highlights

  • The first foreign scholar to study trade facilitation, divided the indicators into four categories, namely, port efficiency, customs environment, institutional environment and e-commerce, and refined them into small indicators, the value of each indicator is derived from the global competitiveness report and the

  • To calculate the value of trade facilitation, principal component analysis is used in this paper

  • The measurement of trade facilitation in china-asean Free Trade Area is obtained through the comprehensive evaluation model, that is, the standardized value of the secondary indicators is multiplied by the coefficient of the comprehensive evaluation model, the Coefficient is expressed by Z, and the final sum is obtained

Summary

The construction of model and index system

The first foreign scholar to study trade facilitation, divided the indicators into four categories, namely, port efficiency, customs environment, institutional environment and e-commerce, and refined them into small indicators, the value of each indicator is derived from the global competitiveness report and the. The rapid economic development in recent years, the impact of trade facilitation specific indicators have changed.
