Effect of Regions on Each Others’ Export Composition Diversity: An Spatial Panel Data Analysis for NUTS2 Regions

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine whether NUTS2 regions have spatial effect on each others’ export product and export market diversity. The study uses 2002-2015 quaterly export, import, investment and exporter data of the regions. The method used in the study is Spatial Panel Data. Spatial Weight Matrix was constructed by using queen contiguity rule. LM test was employed to determine existence of spatial effect among regions and to choose the right spatial model between Spatial Lag Model (SAR) and Spatial Error Model (SEM). LM test results show that there exists spatial effect among NUTS2 the regions and the best model is SEM.  Hausman test results indicate the best model for the study is fixed effect panel model.  Spatial autocorrelation coeeficient  λ for NUTS2 is 0.08. The estimation results of SEM Panel Model for NUTS2 suggests that while 1% increase in total import rise total export 0.15%, 1% incraese in number of exporter and investments increase total export 0.19% and 0.16% respectively. There is no spatial effect for number of export market of the regions.
