    The aim of this paper is to assess the role of hard and soft infrastructure in trade, distinguishing between traditional trade and supply-chain trade. Using factor analysis, we construct four ... aggre-gate trade facilitation indicators where we measure hard infrastructure as physical and ICT infra-structure, while soft infrastructure accounts for border efficiency and institutional efficiency. For traditional trade, we use bilateral trade data from UN Comtrade. Supply-chain trade is measured in terms of domestic value-added (DVAFX) embodied in foreign gross exports and foreign value- added (FVA) embodied in domestic gross exports obtained from Eora MRIO database. We use panel data regression analysis with an empirical model specification based on a gravity model and covering the 2000–2019 period. We estimate model with the Poisson Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood Estimator (PPML). To control multilateral trade-resistance terms (MRT), we included reporter and partner fixed effects along with country pair fixed effects. The results confirm a statistically significant relationship between hard and soft infrastructure and trade. ICT and border efficiency have the strongest impact on both types of trade. Supply-chain trade responds most intensely to improvements in institutional efficiency. Results imply that ICT infrastructure and border efficiency might hold even greater importance for CEMS’s traditional and supply-chain trade.
