Abstract: This paper aims to analytically and graphically explore the characteristics of ASEAN+3's trade and FDI integration over the period 1990-2012 by applying the tools of network analysis. Our results first find evidence that the degree of trade and FDI integration varies among ASEAN+3 member states over the observation period. Second, ASEAN+3's intra-regional trade network seems to be more densely connected than its intra-regional FDI network. Third, we reveal that large and/or advanced countries tend to be better linked and to form a sub-regional bloc of tightly connected economies. Therefore, ASEAN+3 has been experiencing a widening gap in the trend and patterns of intra-regional trade and FDI among country members at different levels of economic development.
