| Summary/Abstract |
We study the determinants of China's bilateral local currency swap lines that were established following the recent global finance crisis. It is found that economic factors, political considerations and institutional characteristics, including trade intensity, economic size, strategic partnership, free trade agreements, corruption and stability, affect the decision to sign a swap line agreement. Once a swap line agreement decision is made, the size of the swap line is then mainly affected by trade intensity, economic size and the presence of a free trade agreement. The results are quite robust with respect to the choices of the Heckman two-stage framework or the proportional hazard model. The gravity effect captured by distances between China and its counterparts, if present, is mainly observed during the early part of the sample period under consideration.

| Summary/Abstract |
The renewed and reinvigorated engagement of India with the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) over the past few years has been one of the significant factors leading to the gradual and irreversible transition of the regional organisation from a declaratory phase to one of implementation (Bhagwati, 2008). The new growth momentum in the South Asian region and its increasing openness encourages a fresh look at the economic integration of the region. In this context, the study examines the opportunities and commodity potential of trade between India and the SAARC countries by adopting a variety of trade indices of export intensity index and import intensity index along with Gini coefficient. The authors further study the commodity trade potential between India and the SAARC countries by adopting the revealed comparative advantage index and revealed import dependency index. The study concludes an increasing export intensity and import intensity of trade between India and the other SAARC member countries. Finally, the values of Gravity coefficient and commodity analysis find a high trade potential between them and the untapped trade and investment scenario that could be tapped by strengthening the regional block of SAARC.

| Summary/Abstract |
This study examines the bilateral trade relations between New Zealand and India from 1990 to 2014. Using export and import intensity indices and revealed comparative advantage (RCA) indices, it identifies sectors where there is static and dynamic comparative advantage and complementarities. It also examines the extent and movement of intra-industry trade (IIT), using IIT indices, and analyses these indices to consider how trade patterns and relations have changed between 1990 and 2014.
Findings show that trade between New Zealand and India has increased in recent years. The intensity of trade has strengthened, and there has been growth in IIT for a number of industries and product groups. Results also suggest high degree of static and dynamic comparative advantage in a number of product groups. The findings of this study should be relevant to future bilateral trade, economic relations, technology transfer and cultural exchange between New Zealand and India.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article uses simultaneous equations error component three-stage least squares (EC3SLS) panel data technique to find the direct and indirect impacts of trade, industrial dissimilarity and FDI on the business cycle synchronisation of Eurozone economies. The period of analysis is 1990–2009. These are the major findings: (a) trade, industrial dissimilarity and FDI have both direct and indirect effects on the business cycle synchronisation of sample economies; (b) EC3SLS estimates show that closer trade ties among these Eurozone countries have led to more synchronised business cycle co-movements, because common disturbances are more prevalent and intra-industry trade dominates; (c) the bilateral FDI flows have served as a source of destabilisation rather than a source of synchronisation; (d) industry-specific shocks have almost lost their importance both in terms of generating more trade and in terms of raising the output correlation of sample countries; (e) trade intensity and FDI flows are positively and significantly correlated, thereby suggesting that more FDI encourages more trade and vice-versa; (f) trade shows a negative relationship with industrial dissimilarity, which implies that bilateral trade in these countries promotes similar industrial structures; and finally, (g) these economies characterise intra-industry trade patterns, as expected in the case of these highly integrated Eurozone economies. Although the results show the presence of intra-industry trade types, these economies have diversified their production processes at the higher income levels.
