ABSTRACTThis study discusses the importance of trade facilitation in logistic performance to boost Indonesia’s export. This work uses a structural gravity model to analyze the effect of logistics performance with respect to the export magnitude of textile products from Indonesia to its trading partner countries worldwide. This paper uses interval panel data for 2010, 2012, and 2014. In particular, it employs the Logistics Performance Index (LPI) as a proxy for trade facilitation and as a non-discriminatory trade policy of the origin country. Further, this study considers intranational trade in the structural gravity equation to ensure that the estimation effects for the non-discriminatory export policy in logistics can be identified in the presence of the fixed effect. The estimation results reveal that the LPI could play a role in expanding the export of textile products from Indonesia.Keywords: Logistics Performance Index (LPI), trade facilitation, non-discriminatory trade policy, structural gravity equation, export, textile, IndonesiaABSTRAKStudi ini membahas pentingnya fasilitasi perdagangan dalam kinerja logistik untuk mendorong ekspor Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan model gravitasi struktural untuk menganalisis pengaruh kinerja logistik terhadap besarnya ekspor produk tekstil dari Indonesia ke negara-negara mitra dagangnya di seluruh dunia. Tulisan ini menggunakan data panel dengan interval untuk 2010, 2012 dan 2014. Secara khusus, studi ini menggunakan Logistics Performance Index (LPI) sebagai proksi untuk fasilitasi perdagangan dan LPI sebagai cerminan kebijakan perdagangan non-diskriminatif dari negara asal. Selanjutnya, penelitian ini juga menggunakan data perdagangan intranasional dalam persamaan gravitasi struktural untuk memastikan bahwa efek estimasi untuk kebijakan ekspor non-diskriminatif dalam logistik dapat diidentifikasi walau dengan adanya fixed effect. Hasil estimasi menunjukkan bahwa LPI dapat berperan dalam memperluas ekspor produk tekstil dari Indonesia.Keywords Kata Kunci: Logistics Performance Index (LPI), fasilitasi perdagangan, kebijakan perdagangan non-diskriminatif, persamaan gravitasi struktural, ekspor, tekstil, Indonesia

The WTO Agreement on Trade Facilitation (TFA) embodies the first set of new multilateral rules to have been negotiated under auspices of the WTO, part of a small package of decisions centering on matters of interest to developing countries that was “harvested” from the broader Doha round. This paper analyzes the outcome of the trade facilitation talks and reflects on the lessons and possible implications of the TFA experience for the prospects for new rule-making and cooperation in the WTO. The TFA illustrates both the potential and the difficulty of negotiating generally applicable stand-alone agreements in the WTO and demonstrates the importance of issue linkage in achieving cooperation in trade policy matters.
