  • does turkey have a special Trade Relation with the eu a gravity model approach
    Economic Systems, 2005
    Co-Authors: Daniele Antonucci, Stefano Manzocchi
    Abstract:

    We apply the gravity model to Turkey's Trade flows over 1967-2001. First, we check whether this model fits Turkey's geographical pattern of Trade in goods. Second, provided that the model works, we assess whether Turkey already has a "special" Trade Relation with the EU, namely whether merchandise exchanges between the two parties exceed what the gravity approach predicts. The main findings are: i) the gravity model provides a good fit of Turkey's Trade patterns; and ii) despite the 1963 Association agreement, and the customs union launched in 1996, there is no evidence of additional Trade between Turkey and the EU.

  • Upgrading of Exports: Does the Integration into Trade Agreements Pave the Way to Product Upgrading?
    2020
    Co-Authors: Katharina Längle
    Abstract:

    This paper investigates whether Trade agreements help middle income countries to upgrade their product portfolio exported to high income countries.Combining product level Trade flows from the CEPII-Baci database with information on product complexity from the Atlas of Economic Complexity and the DESTA database on Trade agreements, this question is studied for a set of 135 countries between 2001 and 2013 based on a gravity framework. In this context, the development of the extensive and intensive margins for high complex products is considered as proxy for product upgrading. By exploiting the cross sectional dimension of the panel, this study finds that middle income countries export a wider product scope of complex goods if their Trade Relation is covered by an agreement including Trade provisions related to competition , services and investments, compared to country pairs without an equivalent framework. Still, the consideration of the time dimension leads to ambiguous effect of these provisions. While positive estimation results for the intensive margin of complex goods are in line with related papers, negative effects on the extensive margin of complex goods are at odds with expectations of the mechanism between agreements and Trade. JEL classification: F14, F15, F53.

  • Dynamics of Foreign Trade and Trade Relation Problems: Policy Options for Nigeria
    African Research Review, 2011
    Co-Authors: Cs Ekesiobi, Oe Ifebi, Bc Ibekilo, Jd Onochie
    Abstract:

    Trade theorists recognize Trade as a vital catalyst for national growth and overall development. Yet international Trade can be one of the most hotly debated and contentious of political issues, both domestically and between governments. This study appraises the causes of disagreement among the combatants divided into developed and developing economies. Through the instrumentality of theoretical analysis and graphical/tabular exposition, findings reveal that the global Trade configuration is imbalanced favouring nations of the North to the detriment of Southern nations, with Nigeria among the worst hit. As we bid farewell to the first decade of the twenty-first century, there has been a gradual shift in the balance of economic power as countries like Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC nations) have emerged as Trade superpowers. There is therefore a need for Nigeria to lead the way for Africa in the quest for favourable Trade transformation, given her enviable endowments and enormous potentials as this paper advocates. The route to actualizing this feat as put forward in this study is for the country to, among other things, redefine her Trade policy objectives and targets, modify her growth strategies and reformulate her development plans and programmes to meet the challenges in the face of the fast and rapidly changing global environment. This in essence will aid the nation to perk up her Trade performance, which all other things being equal, will guarantee the likelihood of consistent economic growth and sustainable development.
