To investigate this issue, we attempt to find out the determinants of Vietnam’s bilateral trade for the period 1992-2006 by individually applying gravity models for exports and imports. Our main results indicate that Vietnam’s bilateral trade flows were positively associated with economic size while the impact of geographical distance appeared to be rather modest. This suggests that other kinds of trade barriers may determine transaction costs in the specific case of Vietnam. Interestingly, our empirical results show that the effective contribution of FDI inflows may be overestimated. Also, the real exchange rate did not play an important role in promoting Vietnam’s exports, while the positive sign associated with its coefficient on the import side is counter-intuitive. More importantly, our empirical results show that Vietnam was c...
