Abstract

Trade finance is a critical component of trade volume, terms of trade, and trade patterns, particularly for developed economies. This paper assesses the effect of trade finance on trade flows for G-7 countries. G-7 countries are leading world trade globally, so the economic model includes the impact of economic and financial crises (supply and demand shocks) on trade by dummies. The annual data from the World Bank Global Financial Development Indicators from 2001 to 2020 is analyzed using panel data analysis. Canada is excluded due to data constraints. Due to missing data before 2001 and the possibility of balance panel data analysis, this period was excluded from the model. The findings suggest that all variables are homogeneous and exhibit cross-section dependency, with a cointegrated relationship between dependent and independent variables in the long term. Short and long-term coefficients were estimated using the Common Correlation Effects (CCE) model. Our results suggest that trade finance may partially explain the decrease in total trade volume during economic or financial crises, as a loss in trade finance can significantly impact overall trade.

G-7 Ülkelerinde Ticaretin Finansmanı

Abstract

Gelişmiş ekonomiler için ticaretin finansmanı özellikle ticaret hacmi, ticaret hadleri ve ticaretin deseni üzerine önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı ticaretin finansmanının ticaret akımları üzerine olan etkisini G-7 ülkeleri için tahmin edeblmektir. G-7 ülkelerinin analize konu edilmesinin küresel bağlamda bu gelişmiş ülkelerin dünya ticaretine ve finansmanına yön veriyor olmalarıdır. Kurulan iktisadi modelde gerek arz gerek ise talep şoklarına yol açan ekonomik ve finansal krizler kukla değişken-dummy değişkeni ile dikkate alınarak 2001-2020 dönemi Dünya Bankası Küresel Finansal Gelişim Göstergelerinden elde edilen yıllık veriler ile analiz edilmiştir. G-7 ülkelerinden Kanada’ya ait ilgili yıla referans gösterilebilecek veriler elde edilemediği için bu ülke kapsam dışı bırakılmıştır. Ayrıca 2001 yılı öncesine ait veriler eksik olduğu ve dengeli panel veri analizi mümkün olmayacağı için 2001 sonrası uygulamaya dahil edilmiştir. Dinamik panel veri analizi ile elde edilen sayısal bulgular tüm değişkenlerin homojen ve yatay kesit bağımlılığına sahip olduğunu gösterirken, bağımlı ve bağımsız değişkenler arasında uzun dönemde eş-bütünleşik bir ilişki olduğunu ifade etmek mümkündür. Ortak Etkili İlişkiler modeli ile kısa ve uzun dönem katsayı tahmini yapılmıştır. Ticaretin finansmanı, ilgili dönemde diğer bağımsız değişkenlerle birlikte toplam ticaret hadlerindeki düşüşü kısmi bir şekilde açıklayabilmektedir. Çünkü ticaretin finansmanında meydana gelen bir azalışın yol açacağı ticaret kaybı, ekonomik veya finansal krizlerle birlikte devasa boyutlara ulaşabilmektedir.
