Abstract

With the disintegration of the USSR, one of the most striking economic and political events of the last century, the Eastern European countries, which left the union and had a central planning economy, switched to a free market economy that they had not experienced before. Along with this political and economic change, Eastern European countries, under the influence of globalization trends in the same period, encountered trade liberalization processes and had a commercially open structure. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between trade openness and economic growth in 10 selected Eastern European countries over the period 1995-2020. According to the results of the time series analysis, a long-term relationship was determined between trade openness and economic growth in 3 countries (Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia). According to the results of the panel data analysis, no relationship was found between trade openness and economic growth.

Abstract

Geçtiğimiz yüzyılın en çarpıcı ekonomik ve siyasal olaylarından biri olan SSCB’nin dağılmasıyla, birlikten ayrılan ve merkezi planlamacı ekonomi anlayışına sahip olan Doğu Avrupa ülkeleri daha önce tecrübe etmedikleri serbest piyasa ekonomisine geçmiştirler. Bu siyasi ve iktisadi değişimle birlikte Doğu Avrupa ülkeleri, aynı dönemde küreselleşme akımlarının etkisi altında kalarak ticari liberalizasyon süreçleri ile karşılaşarak ticari dışa açık bir yapıya sahip olmuşturlar. Bu çalışmanın amacı seçili 10 Doğu Avrupa ülkesinde ticari dışa açıklık ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişkiyi 1995-2020 dönemi boyunca analiz etmektedir. Yapılan zaman serisi analizi sonucuna göre, 3 ülkede (Letonya, Litvanya, Slovakya) ticari dışa açıklık ve ekonomik büyüme arasında uzun dönem ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir. Panel veri analizi sonuçlarına göre, ticari açıklık ve ekonomik büyüme arasında herhangi bir ilişki tespit edilememiştir.
