First, the study proposes a conceptual framework to show the role of governance and policy reforms in shaping a country in the path of VAE. Later, it undertakes an empirical analysis to evaluate the success of Malaysia's VAE with the help of WTO-OECD Trade in Value Added (TiVA) database from 1996 through2014. The empirical findings reveal a significant relationship between VAE and the governance indicators and the policy parameter proxies, indicating that the government plays a significant role in Malaysia's increased VAE.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Value Added Export; Trade; government Policies; Governance indicators; Tariff; TiVA</p><p><strong>JEL Classifications:</strong> F13; F15; F23; F43</p> ER -
