The relationship between trade openness and economic growth: A study on Asean-5

This paper focuses on examining the nonlinear impact of trade openness on economic growth in ASEAN countries. If the nonlinear impact exists, the author will estimate the threshold value of trade openness when it affects economic growth. Thanks to this, the author expects to discover many interesting and different things compared to previous studies. Regarding the research data, the author collected the data of Asean-5 countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and the Philippines) and Vietnam in the period 2004-2019.
