Beyond borders: Reconsidering regional trade in Central Asia

This paper investigates barriers to trade in Central Asia, with a particular focus on price variations between tradable goods. It finds that while prices vary significantly across the region, variations within one country are just as large as variations across countries. The paper also finds that the borders with Uzbekistan are considerably more difficult to trade across than those with Kazakhstan or the Kyrgyz Republic.
