Abstract: This article utilizes data from seventy-seven countries over the period 2004-07 in a gravity trade model to examine the impact of four dimensions of trade facilitation-physical infrastructure, information and communication technology, business environment, and border efficiency-on parts and components and final goods trade for the machinery and transport equipment sector. The results show that the effect of importers' overall trade facilitation measures is stronger for promoting parts and components than for final goods trade. Among the four dimensions, border efficiency has the largest impact on trade flows for this sector, and the effect of exporter and particularly importers' border efficiency is important for parts and components, as compared to final goods trade.
