In the short run, the ASEAN economic integration doesnot result in trade creation for Indonesia manufactures import from intra-ASEAN countries. Thismight stems from the insignificant difference Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT) andMost Favoured Nation (MFN) tariffs and the existence of non-tariff barriers.Keywords: Economic integration, trade creation, trade diversion, Indonesia manufacturesJEL classification numbers: F15, O14
