Abstract

This study examines forest products imports to India during 2009-2013, exploring the influence of Regulatory Quality on the pattern of trade from 143 partner countries. The study applies a pooled ordinary least squared (OLS) regression model of estimation with Regulatory Quality, distance between the partner country and India, total forest area of partner country, GDP and population indicators to assess the impact of partner country's regulatory quality and other trade-related factors on imports of forest products by India. The results support the notion that imports of forest products depend on Regulatory Quality, the distance between the trading countries, forest area, the size of the economy and other factors considered in the model. The study also considers the impact of regional variability on forest product imports by India in the model.
