Reasons for International Trade Barriers and Suggestions to Eliminate Trade Barriers

In the International trades, trade barriers are common. However, regardless of how some countries may view the trade barriers, the tendency of world trade is still open and free. Besides, some international laws and treaties have regulated that states should promote the freedom of international trade, or it is against the obligations. Therefore, it is necessary to research on why international trade barriers exist and to give some suggestions to solve this problem. This paper conducted a literature review in the reason for international trade barriers. Four angles were being discussed: domestic political, income inequality, national security and culture influence. After examining 30 papers and law provisions, we got some conclusions. Reasons for international trade barriers are diverse, including the protection for states economy, security and the peoples interests. It also takes narrow nationalism and extreme patriotism and populism into consideration. To solve this problem, this paper suggests from the reform of WTO and some changes in the international treaties. On the other hand, this paper also has some advice to states to solve their domestic conflicts.

A SPATIAL EVIDENCE ON THE DETERMINANTS OF HIGH-TECH EXPORTS IN THE EUROPE

The aim of this study is to analyze the determinants of high-tech exports in the 40 European countries sample from 2011-2021, while considering spatial spillover. To achieve this, a spatial panel data model was employed. The results indicate a positive impact of per capita GDP, per capita patent applications, and trade openness on high-tech exports. However, there is no significant impact of R&D expenditures, foreign direct investment, and economic freedom on high-tech exports. The results showed a differentiation when considering spatial effects. The analysis model revealed the presence of both spatial lag and spatial error. Additionally, the results suggest that high-tech exports from surrounding countries have a positive impact on the high-tech exports of the country. Based on these findings, it is recommended that policymakers work towards eliminating trade barriers between countries, ameliorating income and promoting the commercialization of knowledge.

The Changing Role of the United States in the Global Agricultural Trade

The agriculture sector in the United States depends upon exports for its vitality. Sales of U.S. agricultural products abroad are responsible for 20 percent of U.S. farm income, supporting more than one million American jobs on and off the farm, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The U.S. Government pays great attention to supporting exports as an important factor in the stability of agriculture and the well-being of American farmers. The U.S. Department of Agriculture implements more than 20 state programs for financial, informational, educational and technical support for exports; its representative offices abroad are actively working to promote American agricultural products and search for new markets. Free Intergovernmental Trade Agreements help expand foreign markets for U.S. producers and exporters by reducing or eliminating trade barriers, protecting U.S. economic interests. The ХХ1st century has brought increased competition in the world market due to the entry of new exporters. The competitive prices they offer and the high quality of products for many importers became significant factors that determined the choice in favor of these countries. As a result, the U.S. position in the world market has noticeably deteriorated. The country has lost its leadership in exporting a number of major agricultural products, and for the first time in 60 years, the United States has become a net importer of agricultural products.

Current tendencies in the forming of quality management systems

The article highlights the peculiarities of the formation of modern quality management systems. The need to solve problems related to the development and implementation of highly effective product quality management systems, taking into account the features of European integration, is emphasized. The stages of development of systematic quality management, which, according to the laws of dialectics, evolved under the pressure of contradictions of internal and external goals of product manufacturers are systematized: the stage of rejecting products, quality management, the stage of continuous improvement of product quality, the stage of forecasting and planning the quality of production processes and the products themselves. The advantages and disadvantages of modern trends in the formation of quality management systems are determined. The current state of certification of quality systems of domestic enterprises compared to the dynamics of similar indicators of Polish enterprises is characterized. The importance of developing the documentation necessary for the formation of a quality management system is emphasized; it contains clear and generally understood provisions of tasks in the field of quality; quality guidelines; quality programs; methods of compliance with DSTU ISO 9001 - 2015, etc. Emphasis has been placed on constant purposeful work on the development and harmonization of national standards with European standards, with the aim of adapting and facilitating the activities of domestic producers on the international market. The production of domestic products in accordance with European quality and safety standards will enable Ukrainian manufacturers to expand their export potential for products to the European Union and other countries and be competitive on the world stage. Considerable attention is devoted to aspects of quality system certification. It has been proven that obtaining a certificate is a derivative of the implementation of a quality management system. The modern quality management system in the enterprise is effective when the manufactured products are in demand and the enterprise makes a profit, under such conditions certification becomes a formal procedure. It has been proven that the formation and implementation of quality management systems based on international standards will contribute to new opportunities for the development of domestic business, the elimination of trade barriers, and the establishment of close relationships between the spheres of production, trade, and consumption.

Analysis of Indonesia's Loss against the United States of America in the Horticultural Trade Dispute at the World Trade Organization

This paper examined the World Trade Organization (WTO) trade dispute settlement between Indonesia and the United States of America on the horticultural issue in 2018 . The WTO aims to encourage free trade mechanisms by eliminating trade barriers, providing a negotiation forum for international trade disputes, and as a mediator to international negotiation forums on trade dispute settlement. The USA reported Indonesia to the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) of the WTO because Indonesia was considered to have implemented a number of policies on imports of agricultural products that created trade barriers to the USA’s products. This research will explain the causes of Indonesia’s loss in the dispute by using Susan Strange’s concept of structural power. This research used qualitative methods and obtained data sources through primary and secondary data sources. Primary data was obtained directly through field study by interviewing related parties in the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Trade of The Republic of Indonesia. Secondary data was collected by conducting literature reviews of journals, books, news, and other sources. It showed that Indonesia was defeated in the dispute because it violated the quantitative restrictions rules in article XI. I GATT 1994. The USA used its knowledge structural power, such as the existence of scientific studies and research, to strengthen its case. Indonesia could not match the knowledge structure that the USA had. This was seen in Indonesia’s weaknesses in a legal capacity and inability to show facts based on research and scientific studies regarding Indonesia’s actions.

The implications of the African Continental Free Trade Area on South African agricultural trade: An application of the partial equilibrium mode

Background: The African Continental Free Trade Area is currently a negotiated agreement that comprises 54 African countries and aims at eliminating trade barriers between its member states. Advocates of the Free Trade Area point to the numerous benefits of the agreement, though less has been said about the potential implications on economic strategic sectors such as the agricultural sector.Aim: The study explores the potential economic impact of a full tariff liberalisation as proposed under the African continental Free Trade Area on South African agricultural trade.Setting: A 100% tariff cut on agricultural commodities was simulated among all 54 members of the African Continental Free Trade Area.Methods: The study adopts the SMART partial equilibrium model to simulate the potential impact of a full tariff liberalisation as proposed under the African Continental Free Trade Area on South African agricultural trade.Results: The simulation revealed that South Africa will gain a total trade value of approximately US$199 million, and the total trade diversion from third parties will stand at US$42 million. South African agricultural commodities with the greatest export potential to the African market include sugar cane, maize, citrus fruit, cigarettes and sauces. Industries that are vulnerable to the free trade area include dairy, poultry, and vegetables. The full tariff liberalisation is projected to decrease South African’s export revenue.Conclusion: The study recommends that South African infant industries that are vulnerable to the agreement be listed in an exclusive list and that government should enhance the competitiveness of the affected industries.

Зарубіжний досвід вирішення проблемних ситуацій в регіональному розвитку після воєнних конфліктів

The military aggression of the RF, which began on the 24th of February 2022, has already led to a huge number of deaths, the loss of industrial enterprises due to their complete or partial damage, the destruction of housing and other social infrastructure. These and other grave consequences together indicate a huge humanitarian catastrophe in our country. Currently, it is impossible to estimate all the losses of Ukrainian economy from the war owing to lack of statistics, but the projected drop in Ukraine’s GDP in 2022 will range from –10% to –40% provided that the active phase of the war lasts no longer than several months and the geography of the occupied territories does not expand. The projected economic decline as a result of hostilities is exacerbated by a sharp decrease in export opportunities due to the blocking of seaports, the loss of metallurgical enterprises, impossible sowing activities because of the mined agricultural fields, etc. As of April 2022, the most war-affected were nine regions of Ukraine, which in 2020 accounted for 30% of the country’s GDP, including the Kharkiv region. Under these conditions, it is useful to study foreign experience in solving problematic situations in terms of post-conflict regional development. The purpose of this article is to generalize foreign experience in solving problematic situations and economic recovery in different world countries together with their regions after military conflicts. The carried out analysis of the impact of military conflicts on the economies of the affected countries indicates the rapid dynamics of the fall in GDP per capita after the military actions. Therefore, the issue of creating effective mechanisms for solving problematic situations in regional development caused by the war arises immediately after the completion of hostilities. The peculiarities of the implementation of the Marshall Plan as an exhaustive example of an effective mechanism for the reconstruction of the economy of European countries and their regions, the elimination of trade barriers, the restoration of production potential, and the development of a democratic society are researched. An analysis of the experience of Yugoslavia after the Second World War, when obtaining assistance from the United States, which allowed to introduce a sufficiently effective State policy to stimulate the socioeconomic development of the country’s troubled regions, is carried out.

The Effect of Trade Liberalization on Intergenerational Income Mobility

The recent backlash against globalization, including the Sino-US trade war and Brexit, has highlighted the discussion on the effect of trade on economic inequality. This paper employs a probit model to investigate the effect of trade liberalization on intergenerational income mobility based on micro-level data from China Health and Nutrition Survey and macro-level data from Regional Statistic Yearbooks in 1989-2015. Most notably, we study how industrialization and upward education mobility explain the underlying mechanisms of such effect. The results indicate that a high level of trade openness may promote upward income mobility for both sons and daughters and restrain downward income mobility for daughters. Therefore, China should keep up its process of reform and opening up, further eliminating trade barriers and strengthening international cooperation to provide equal opportunities of high-skilled occupations for individuals from different family backgrounds. Chinese families should be encouraged to provide equal educational opportunities for boys and girls.

ROAD MAP OF EVOLUTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF COMPETITION LAW: INDIA

The Competition law & policy forms an inherent part of developing world to not only protect their domestic markets but also compete fairly and effectively in the international market. These policies have been very instrumental in fostering sustainable development as well as restricting anti-competitive behaviour which inhibits economic growth. The implementation of competition law must be in coherence with the level of overall development in the country since there is no one legal framework which would suit all the jurisdictions. The competition policy of India creates an active and viable environment for the industries to compete domestically as well as internationally with an aim to promote economic development using advanced technologies and an adequate capital. Hence the government must play an active role in promoting economic liberalization by focusing on various policies such as foreign direct investment, licensing of technology, intellectual property rights and eliminating trade barriers rather than just following the conventional principles of the competition law. The competition policy’s main concern is that the corporations with market powers are not able to harm the interests of consumer by anti-competitive practices. Although the competition law and competition policy goes hand in hand yet they can be distinguished. This article has the intention to portrait the evolution of the competition law in India. Why do we need such kind of law in India, what were the major reasons to bring MRTP and the road forward to Competition act?

Methodological approaches to determining the impact of barriers on international trade

Today, within the framework of the functioning of foreign trade policy, there are two main opposing models: protectionism and free trade. Recently, the situation is developing towards the dominance of the policy of protectionism over the policy of conducting free trade, since there is a continuous increase in the number of non-tariff measures and the manifestation of trade wars. This situation leads to the need for a policy of trade liberalization. Implementing a foreign trade policy aimed at eliminating trade barriers is not a quick process and requires a thoughtful scientific assessment. To analyze the criticality of the situation of the absence of a free trade policy and to reflect its validity, a very wide methodological toolkit is used to study various kinds of trade barriers, ranging from the calculation of the simplest indicators to the construction of complex econometric models. This study provides a comprehensive review of the main methodological approaches to determining the impact of tariff and non-tariff barriers on the international trade activities of countries. In the scientific review work, 4 domestic and 24 foreign sources, formed on the basis of 21 resources, were involved in the search for literature. The results of the review analysis of research papers showed that in the study of tariff and non-tariff barriers, researchers mainly use three econometric models, namely gravity model, partial equilibrium model and general equilibrium model. In addition, the study of non-tariff barriers can be carried out in the context of two other methods besides the econometric one: the implementation of the "price gap" method and the derivation of "incidence indicators".

The Effect of Financial Literacy on Policy Preferences

In this paper, I study the role of economic knowledge in economic policy preferences. Previous studies emphasize a moderating effect of knowledge on issue attitudes, through its interaction with partisanship and self-interest. I argue that knowledge has a direct effect on policy preferences. With the evidence from the two surveys of 7,565 of Argentines, I show that people who score higher on the Global Financial Literacy and economic knowledge tests are more supportive for pro-market economic policies, such as elimination of trade barriers, elimination of subsidies, and integration into the world financial markets. My knowledge measures are not correlated with partisanship. I address the issue of confoundedness with self-interest by conducting analysis in two different contexts – economic boom and recession.

EMPERICAL ANALYSIS OF THE QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE IN TRADE FACILITATION WITHIN THE AFRICAN CONTINENTAL FREE TRADE

This study mainly focused on exploring the roles of standardisation and quality infrastructure systems in aiding trade and sustainable development within the African continental free trade area. This is a conceptual study. It was established that facilitating trade and sustainable development lead to attaining economic growth of any developing country. Several factors are involved in facilitating trade and sustainable development, including quality infrastructure and standardisation. These two factors foster free trade area establishment by eliminating trade barriers within the African countries. The factors can also assist speeding up the delivery time, reducing goods rejection at crossing borders, environmental protection by adhering to the ISO 14000 series of standards, add competitive advantages and many more. Despite all these benefits, African countries still are challenged regarding effective metrology institutes. To be able to foster a free trade area within African countries, each country needs to establish an influential metrology institute for carrying out all metrological activities which would provide assurance and global recognition to their products and services.

Hacia Elevar las Relaciones Económicas entre Indonesia y Argentina a Una Etapa Superior

Este documento intenta describir y analizar formas de fortalecer y elevar las relaciones económicas bilaterales entre Indonesia y Argentina a una etapa superior. El estudio revela que las relaciones bilaterales actuales siguen estando por debajo de sus potencialidades y con una intensidad comercial relativamente baja. La baja intensidad comercial puede deberse en parte razones clásicos entre otros como la gran distancia geográfica que ocasiona altos costos de transporte; la barrera lingüística; y la falta de información, interés y de contactos interpersonales. También, las medidas proteccionistas argentinas y el alza del déficit de la balanza comercial de por la parte indonesia, son los problemas principales actuales dentro de las relaciones comerciales bilaterales. Sobre la base de la estimación de TCI, aunque las exportaciones e importaciones de ambos países tienden a ser más sustitutos, aún hay un avance muy significativo de complementariedad comercial en los últimos años. Mientras que, para el escenario bilateral de libre comercio, el estudio revela que se espera que en Indonesia y Argentina los excedentes del consumo y el comercio aumenten a raíz del TLC bilateral, pero, sí reduce los ingresos arancelarios. Con base en los resultados, se puede concluir que hay muchas oportunidades para mejorar aún más sus exportaciones en función de su mayor ventaja comparativa. El documento sugiere que reducir las medidas proteccionistas, tanto los aranceles y las barreras no arancelarias (incluido la actual regulación de licencias de importación no automáticas) y realizar Indonesia-Mercosur PTA. El estudio revela que con la eliminación de las barreras comerciales ambos países obtendrán un mayor bienestar y el cumplimiento de los objetivos de ambos países para intensificar las relaciones comerciales bilaterales.

Trade policies and growth in emerging economies: policy experiments

This paper analyzes a dynamic endogenous growth model to quantify the channels through which international trade affects longer-term growth of an emerging economy, with an emphasis on the role played by trade policies. In the model, trade can promote (i) labor migration from agricultural to non-agricultural sectors and (ii) the inflow of foreign knowledge to enhance productivity in non-agricultural sector. The model is estimated to match with the data from selected advanced and emerging economies. Policy experiments suggest that openness to trade and elimination of trade barriers would raise annual real GDP growth by up to three percentage points for decades.

Russia and Iran in Conditions of Economic Sanctions: Anti-Sanction Policy and Resistance Economy

Economic sanctions always have destructive impact on economic structures of states, especially such developing countries as Iran and Russia. These countries used anti-sanction economic approach in order to oppose western sanctions. Strategy of anti-sanction economy is a tool of counteracting adverse impact of sanctions on national economy as a sanction target. The authors investigate the influence of strategy of anti-sanction economy on national economy of Iran and Russia, which are facing economic sanctions introduced by western countries. Research findings demonstrate that strategy of anti-sanction economy is a key priority of both Iran and Russia. This strategy helps these countries improve the local business climate, support small and medium enterprises and raise efficiency of local production units. Principle recommendations of our research for Iran and Russia imply that apart from using strategy of anti-sanction economy these countries should do their best to lower their dependence on the US dollar (strategy of dollarization), improve bilateral economic cooperation and eliminate trade barriers to increase trade flows.

CROSS-BORDER COOPERATION IN THE TERRITORIES OF THE CARPATHIAN EUROREGION IN THE CONDITIONS OF DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC RELATIONS AND GLOBALIZATION

In the context of globalisation interstate borders in relation to economic relations have acquired a new meaning, which required the creation of a new system of regulation based on the principles of liberalisation, elimination of trade barriers, ensuring free movement of capital. On the one hand, the process of economic globalisation highlights the problems and contradictions remaining at the national level between the regulatory functions of state administrative bodies and the needs of unimpeded development of the Carpathian Euroregion. In this respect, inter-state institutions, as well as the harmonised legal norms underpinning them, prevent attempts to disrupt the competitive environment at the regional level. On the other hand, multilateral organisations are the mechanisms within which representatives of national administrations of the participating countries can negotiate the mutual removal of obstacles at the level of inter-state relations. Determined that, Those "dimensions" of the economy dominated by the "symbolic mediation" of relations - the financial market and consumption driven by consumerism - are most susceptible to globalisation. Much less globalised are commodity production and the labour market. There are theoretical justifications of the necessity of movement of the world community on the way of standardization in the field of economy. They found their adherents in the idea of combination, interpenetration, enrichment of national ways of development of economy not simply adjusting them to the general tendencies through destruction and suppression, but the way of connection on principles of equality, collectivism, preservation of traditional orientation of development. A certain development of theoretical views on the processes of globalisation influence on economic processes of specific countries we find in the works of specialists of the Club of Rome, as well as representatives of many international governmental and non-governmental organisations. They analyse in detail the processes of globalisation themselves and the obstacles that stand in their way. At the same time, external limits - limits arising from the past, and internal limits - limits arising from the future, which give birth to a more dangerous alternative to globalization - the movement of anti-globalization. Thus, it is hardly appropriate to speak of globalisation only as a process of continued growth of mutual trade, investment, increasing interdependence of countries and transcountry territories. Such an understanding of globalisation would be too simplistic and superficial and would not reveal qualitatively new elements of the globalisation process taking into account the manifestations of the specific development of the Carpathian Euroregion.

Trade Openness and Economic Growth in Nepal

This study examines the impact of trade openness on economic growth in Nepal over the period 1975-2019. Using ARDL bounds testing approach to co integration in the multivariate framework, the study results reveal that there exists a long-run relationship between Nepal’s foreign trade and economic growth over the study period. The long-run estimates of ARDL models how that the level of trade openness in Nepal predicts the rate of economic growth of the country positively and significantly in the long-run. The study also reports the positive and significant long run effect of investment level on growth in Nepal over the study period supporting the trade induced investment growth hypothesis. It postulates that trade openness affects economic growth through the channel of investment. The growth enhancing role of trade openness implies that Nepal Government should promote international trade by eliminating trade barriers and making the procedures of foreign trade simple and convenient. Besides, Nepal’s import policy should promote investment environment particularly in capital intensive sectors to take the advantage of technology transfer from technologically advanced country. Furthermore, Nepal should pay proper attention and come up with effective human resource development policy that can uplift human knowledge and skills to make use of technologies from developed countries.

The Role of Knowledge for Policy Preferences: Evidence from Argentina

Author(s): Petrachkova, Alexandra | Advisor(s): Treisman, Daniel Simon | Abstract: In this dissertation, I study the role of knowledge in policy preferences. In democracies, voters are often criticized for not being sufficiently informed when making their political decisions. Political scientists disagree about how consequential this ignorance is for the quality of democratic government. One camp emphasizes that people are capable of learning new information and that knowledge makes them change their views. Following this line of reasoning, I suggest using fundamental knowledge relevant to a specific policy domain rather than measuring knowledge that is directly related to the political world.I focus on one policy domain – economic policies. I use the Global Financial Literacy test developed by Standard a Poor’s as a proxy for economic knowledge. I ask respondents to complete this test at the end of the three original surveys that I conducted in Argentina in 2017, 2018, and 2019. In total, 10,457 individuals participated in the surveys. I choose this country to study the effect of knowledge on policy preferences because of a drastic change in economic policies in 2015. I find that those who score higher on the test are more likely to support pro-market economic policies, such as elimination of trade barriers, elimination of subsidies, and integration into the world financial markets. My identification strategy includes using a measure of knowledge that is uncorrelated with the most important driver for policy preferences – partisan attachments- and conducting analysis in two different contexts – economic boom and recession. The latter helps address possible confoundedness between financial knowledge and other factors, such as social status, that are important both for knowledge and policy preferences. In addition to observational evidence, I provide randomly selected respondents in the 2018 and 2019 surveys with survey treatments – passages in which consequences of economic policies in Argentina and Venezuela are discussed. The results largely support the view that information helps shape policy positions. I receive stronger results in 2018 than in 2019. In 2018, I find that respondents who received the treatment are more likely to support the open economy and the debt repayment. In 2019, the coefficients for the treatment dummies do not reach a conventional level of significance, although their signs are consistent with the hypothesis. Overall, my findings suggest that fundamental non-partisan knowledge matters when it comes to policy preferences.

ЭФФЕКТИВНОСТЬ ПРОИЗВОДСТВА И ЭКСПОРТНЫЕ ВОЗМОЖНОСТИ ЗЕРНОВОГО ПОДКОМПЛЕКСА АПК

Currently, the government of the Russian Federation has adopted a number of strategic planning documents containing measures aimed at the development of the grain-product subcomplex of the agro-industrial complex. In particular, the long term strategy for the Development of the grain complex of the Russian Federation until 2035 was approved. It is a strategic planning document in the grain sector that defines priorities, goals and objectives of public administration and food security, ways of their effective achievement and comprehensive solution. The target indicators of the long term strategy for the development of the grain complex of the Russian Federation until 2035 are: gross yield of grain and leguminous crops - 140 million tons, crop areas – 50 million hectares, domestic consumption – 86.2 million tons, grain export volume, including products of its processing – 55.9 million tons, capacity for simultaneous storage of grain and leguminous crops – 167.4 million tons. The federal project "Export of agricultural products" is being implemented within the framework of the national project "International cooperation and export", one of its goals s to achieve the volume of grain export (in value terms) in the amount of 11.4 billion US dollars by the end of 2024 by creating new commodity mass (including with higher value added), creation of export-oriented commodity distribution infrastructure, elimination of trade barriers (tariff and non-tariff) to ensure access of agricultural products to target markets and creation of a system for promoting and positioning agricultural products. The target indicators stated in the official documents necessitate the search for reserves to increase the efficiency of the grain subcomplex development, increase export of grain and its processing products.

Logistics Performance Index (LPI) and insights on the Logistics Performance Improvement In the Arabian Region

The World Bank firstly issued the Logistic Performance Index (LPI) in 2007, which analyzes six different aspects that influence the logistics Performance of different countries. These six indicators are based on two main important Categories. They are: Policy Regulation Areas, indicating key inputs to the supply chain, containing three Indicators: Customs Performance (the efficiency of custom clearance), National Infrastructure Quality and Internal Logistics Service Quality Delivery Performance Results, being the other three indicators: Punctuality of operations, Competitiveness of Prices for International Shipments, and Ease of Tracking and Tracing. At the macro level logistics performance could have a major impact in the country economic performance. In the Logistics performance index 2018,the UAE ranked first in the Arab world and 11th globally, followed by Oman, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait in the 2018 LPI report. while Egypt ranked seventh in the Arab standings, followed by Lebanon, Jordan and Djibouti, with 67, 79, 84 and 90 respectively. Tunisia, the Comoros, Morocco, Algeria, Sudan and Mauritania followed in the rank, while Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Iraq and Libya were placed in last regionally. In 1996 most of the Arabian countries signed a regional trade agreement GAFTA ( Greater Arab Free Trade Area ) to eliminate trade barriers between the Arab countries however the bilateral trade volume between the Arabian countries have been far behind the saturation level , At the macro level its generally accepted that the countries logistics performance has a major impact on the economic performance of the country economic. Few researchers have addressed the effect of the Arabian countries logistics performance in their economic development. The aim of this paper is to analyze the Arabian countries logistics performance to suggest solution that might asses‟ policy makers in developing the logistics performance of their countries. Also the paper examine the relationship between Arab countries economic performances and how it affect by their logistics performance.
