Abstract

Bu çalışma, 1970-2009 yılları arası, Pedroni ve Johansen ve Fisher panel veri eş bütünleşme analizi kullanılarak Asya ülkelerinde kültürel benzerlik ve uluslararası ticaret arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmıştır. Eş bütünleşme analizi, Asya ülkelerinde, kültü- rel benzerlik ve uluslararası ticaret arasında, uzun dönemli bir ilişkinin var olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu durum, uzun dönemde kültürel yakınlığın uluslararası ticareti etkilediği anlamına gelmektedir.
