Abstract

The Bangkok Agreement (BA) is the Asia's oldests preferential trade agreement between developing countries, and Iran's willingness to join it, has necessitated the evaluation and study of the agreement. Based on the framework of obligations, the agreement requires each new member to provide a list of goods whose preferential tariffs could be granted to other members. In this paper attempts have been made to identify Iran's non-oil exports to Bangkok members which can benefit from tariff preferences. Revealed comparative advantage (RCA) index has been employed for this purpose, and by using panel data for the period 1376-1382, income, price and substitute elasticities for Iran's exports to Bangkok have been calculated. Furthermore, selected products in each chapter have been determined, and by using the estimated coefficients and preference margin, the results of Iran's accession to this agreement have been analyzed. The results demonstrate that income, price and substitute price elasticities for Bangkok imports from Iran are 0.78, -2.61, and -1.20, respectively. The price elasticity of Bangkok's imports from Iran in chapters 5th, 6th and 15th of customs yearbook are -1.55, -1.45 and -0.66, respectively. Bangkok is much interested in importing items under chapter 5 from Iran, and based on price elasticity of the goods, most preferences can be achieved through this chapter. The estimated coefficients show a postivie link between Iran's accession to BA and the expansion of the country's non-oil exports. By employing the above-mentioned coefficients and the margin of preference on selected items, a 6.5 percent growth in export of the selected chapters could be achieved.
