The ARTNeT database of trade publications gives access to full-text trade-related publications of research institutions and international organizations working in the Asia-Pacific region, including ARTNeT members and partners. The database is updated regularly and allows search by trade focus areas, source, keywords and more.
• ARTNeT Gravity Modeling Initiative on “Behind the Border” Factors Affecting Trade (2008-9)
This initiative is designed to more closely integrate the research capacity building and research programme implementation objectives and activities of ARTNeT,
particularly under ARTNeT priority Theme 1 (trade, investment and domestic policy coherence for inclusive growth). It includes regional technical research workshops, support for research studies to apply
techniques learned, development of related research facilitation tools, and support for dissemination of policy relevant results.
• Asia-Pacific Trade and Investment Agreements Database
The Interactive Trade Indicators (ITI) component of APTIAD is designed to help policymakers calculate some of the most commonly used indicators related to the real side of an economy’s trade profile.
Details of the data coverage in APTIAD can be found here.
The purpose of ARTNeT Alerts is to provide a channel for
policymakers and other informed stakeholders to alert the trade and investment research community
to emerging policy challenges. This series hopes to generate a forward looking
discussion among policymakers and researchers that will strengthen the policy relevance of ARTNeT
trade and investment research programmes. Contributions to the series are invited from all
stakeholders, particularly policymakers, civil society and the private sector, to highlight trade
and investment policy issues they think deserve attention by policy researchers in the region.
• Tools for Agricultural Trade Analysis:
ATPSM and AMAD ATPSM
(Agriculture Trade Policy Simulation Model) is a trade
policy simulation model. It can be used as a tool for
quantifying economic effects at the global and regional
level of changes in trade policies. The user specifies
a specific change in trade policy such as a tariff reduction
and the model simulates the new prices and trade flows
and calculates welfare effects. ATPSM is typically to
analyse data from AMAD (Agricultural
Market Access Database).
• TIS Gateway
TIS
Gateway - ESCAP's Trade Information System Gateway
provides up-to-date links to a wide range of trade and
investment related resources.
• UNCTAD Virtual Institute
UNCTAD VI - is a knowledge sharing programme designed to strengthen the capacity of academic institutions to teach and research trade issues.
