      abstract = {This study examines the impact of economic globalization  on the human trafficking inflows into the Greater Mekong  Sub-region
(GMS) countries. The paper empirically tests for  a cross-section of six countries, including Cambodia, the  Yunnan Province of the People’s
Republic of China (PRC),  Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PRD), Myanmar,  Thailand, and Vietnam. Employing the Pooled OLS
estimator,  as the theory predicts, the economic globalization  increases trafficking inflow into the GMS. However, only  foreign direct
investment (FDI) affects the degree of  trafficking of persons, while the effect of trade is  insignificant. Moreover, Exchange rate,  Migration,
Population and Democracy induce higher rates of  trafficked persons, whereas Gross Domestic Product (GDP)  and other factors, such as
education, vocational training  and micro-finance through village development funds  decrease this problem in the region. Gross National
Income  per capita (GNI per capita) and rule of law do not have any  significant effect on human trafficking.},
