Mongolia and the Belt and Road Initiative: The Prospects for the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor

Jul 24, 2020 | 9:52 am

Jamestown Foundation, an American think tank, recently published a paper “Mongolia and the Belt and Road Initiative: The Prospects for the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor” by Dr. Antonio Graceffo who focuses the Chinese economy.

The research paper examines the impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) on Mongolia’s prospects for trade and access to overland routes to Europe and sea ports in Asia.

It is worth noting that Dr. Graceffo cited “Economic Impacts of Economic Corridors in Mongolia: AN Application of IDE-GSM”, a research paper carried out by the ITTLLDC in cooperation with the Institute of Developing Economies, Japan External Trade Organization (IDE-JETRO) in 2017.

The paper by the ITTLLDC utilized a Geographical Simulation Model (IDE-GSM) developed by IDE-JETRO in order to provide policy implications for better transport infrastructure in Mongolia. Evidently, it shows that our research still holds significance for studies on economic corridor development as no other research used a simulation model of such scale to analyse the impacts of economic corridors in Mongolia.
