Abstract

This study aims to explore export diversity and economic growth relations in transition economies. For this purpose, Westerlund co-integration tests, Pesaran CCE tests and Emmahmutoğlu-Köse causality tests were used, considering the years 1995-2020. In addition, transition economies were divided into groups in the study, and empirical results were examined separately on both country groups and a country basis. While the findings have been identified in the transition economies of the European Union, a one-way causality relationship has been determined in exports from product diversity to economic growth; there has been no significant relationship between variables in other transition economies.

İhracatta Ürün Çeşitliliği ve Ekonomik Büyüme: Geçiş Ekonomileri Üzerine Panel Veri Analizleri

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, geçiş ekonomilerinde ihracat çeşitliliği ve ekonomik büyüme ilişkilerini araştırmaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda 1995-2020 yılları dikkate alınarak Westerlund eşbütünleşme testleri, Pesaran CCE testleri ve Emirmahmutoğlu-Köse nedensellik testleri kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca çalışmada geçiş ekonomileri gruplara ayrılarak ampirik sonuçlar hem ülke grupları hem ülke bazında ayrı ayrı incelenmiştir. Bulgular, Avrupa Birliğine üye geçiş ekonomilerinde ihracatta ürün çeşitliliğinden ekonomik büyümeye doğru tek yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilmişken, diğer geçiş ekonomilerinde değişkenler arasında herhangi bir anlamlı ilişki bulunmamıştır.
