Abstract
Shandre Mugan Thangavelu, Jeffrey Cheah Institute on Southeast Asia, Sunway University and Institute for International Trade, University of Adelaide: This paper examines the impact of COVID-19 workplace closures and stayat-home orders on international trade using a gravity model. The paper suggests that the stay-at-home orders will reduce trade by decreasing import demand, while workplace closures, which mandate the closure of all non-essential workplaces, will reduce export supplies. This paper uses monthly world trade data to investigate how the two types of lockdown policies affect trade flows. They find a negative effect of workplace closures on trade except for intra-Asian trade, but stay-at-home orders had no significant and robust effects on trade.
Shandre Mugan Thangavelu，Jeffrey Cheah东南亚研究所，Sunway大学和阿德莱德大学国际贸易研究所：本文使用引力模型研究了新冠肺炎工作场所关闭和stayat-home订单对国际贸易的影响。该文件表明，居家令将通过减少进口需求来减少贸易，而强制关闭所有非必要工作场所的工作场所关闭将减少出口供应。本文使用月度世界贸易数据来调查这两种类型的封锁政策如何影响贸易流动。他们发现，除亚洲内部贸易外，工作场所关闭对贸易有负面影响，但居家令对贸易没有显著而有力的影响。
期刊介绍：
The journal Asian Economic Papers (AEP) is supported by several prominent institutions, including the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University in the United States. This shows that there is a strong emphasis on sustainable development within the journal's scope. Additionally, the Korea Institute for International Economic Policy in South Korea, the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) in Malaysia, and the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia in Indonesia also sponsor AEP. The articles published in AEP focus on conducting thorough and rigorous analyses of significant economic issues pertaining to specific Asian economies or the broader Asian region. The aim is to gain a deeper understanding of these issues and provide innovative solutions. By offering creative solutions to economic challenges, AEP contributes to the discourse and policymaking that impact the Asian economies and region as a whole.
