Abstract

The level of transportation infrastructure construction plays an increasingly prominent role in international trade. This paper chooses the cross-sectional data of ASEAN Free Trade Area in 2017 and introduces the variables of transport infrastructure on the basis of Trade gravity model to analyze the synergy between transport infrastructure and trade. It further analyzes the promoting role of Economic Integration. The empirical results show three aspects results. The first is that the boundary effect of ASEAN Free Trade Area ranges from 11 to 34. the second is there is a positive relationship between the transport infrastructure and the trade volume of ASEAN Free Trade Area. The third is that the more developed the transport infrastructure, the lower the boundary effect, thus promoting the development of ASEAN regional economic integration.
