1 Symposium Towards Realization of the ASEAN Connectivity Plus: Moving forward with ASEAN India Connectivity (Bangkok, Thailand; November 27, 2013) Economic Assessment of ASEAN India Connectivity Fukunari Kimura Chief Economist, Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) Professor, Faculty of Economics, Keio University 1

2 1. The potantial of ASEAN India connectivity India dais coming into production o networks in ASEAN and East Asia; connectivity becomes important. Particularly, MIEC can be one of the most competitive manufacturing corridor in the world. It can achieve both the deepening of economic integration and the narrowing of geographical/industrial g development gaps. gp Well coordinated effort by countries in the region will be required. 2

5 2. Conceptual framework The fragmentation theory (the 2 nd unbundling) Development gp gaps motivate the task wise division of labor once service link costs are reduced. The two dimensional fragmentation Inter firm division of labor in short distance generates industrial agglomeration. New economic geography Corridor development must keep good balance bt between agglomeration and dispersion i forces. 5

6 The 2 nd Unbundling The 2 nd unbundling, i.e., international division of labor in terms of production processes and tasks, has developed since the 1980s, based on drastic reduction in coordination costs due to ICT revolution. The 2 nd unbundling in the manufacturing sector is most advanced in East Asia. 1 st 2 nd Bay A Bay B Bay A Bay B ICT Bay C Bay C Source: Baldwin Bld (2011). 6

7 The fragmentation theory: Production blocks and service links Tradeoff between the reduction in production costs in PBand the enhancement of SL costs. Fragmentation of production occurs particularly between countries at different development stages (Jones and Kierzkowski (1990)). Before fragmentation ti After fragmentation SL Large integrated factory SL PB PB SL PB PB SL PB SL PB: production blocks SL: service links 7

9 Cross border production sharing (back and forth; intra firm) The evolution of the 2 nd unbundling Production networks ( networks ; fragmentation ti and agglomeration; intra firm in short distance, arm s length in long distance) The United States Japan Consumers Korea Consumers The United States Mexico Taiwan Consumers Vietnam The Philippines Headquarters or affliates Unrelated firms with same firm nationality Unrelated firms with different firm nationality Malaysia Internet auction Agglomeration Source: Ando and Kimura (2010). Agglomeration 9

10 Agglomeration and dispersion in new economic geography To achieve proper balance between agglomeration and dispersion effects, supplementary policies to enhance location advantages, particularly on the periphery side, are necessary. Reduction in trade costs 10

11 3. The current situation Big Three in machinery agglomerations East Asia, North America, Europe East Asia enhances competitiveness. Increasing number of countries in East Asia has come into production networks. Development gaps motivate production networks. Production networks (the 2 nd unbundling) vs. global value chains PN: time sensitive, synchronized, coordinatedlinks 11

Policies for MIEC development Required policies Latecomers: how to participate in production networks Check (i) network set up cost, (ii) service link cost, and (iii) production cost per se and solve bottlenecks. Forerunners: how to form efficient/innovative industrial agglomerations Connect both by economic corridors to take advantage of economic dynamism. 19

32 6. Conclusion ASEAN India connectivity, particularly Mekong India Economic Corridor (MIEC), will push up the region to one of the most competitive manufacturing corridor in the world. It will provide a new development model to pursue both the deepening of economic integration i and the narrowing of geographical/industrial development gaps. 32
