Abstract

Design/methodology/approach - The methodology includes using data analysis as well as regressions Findings - The main findings show that logistics and infrastructure are among the most important determinants of supply chain trade. For Latin America to participate more in such trade, the region should attract more foreign direct investment, including direct investment from China in transportation, roads and ports as well as infrastructure in general. Originality/value - This paper is among the first in the literature to conduct regression analysis on trade in parts and components.
