Discriminating Between the Side Effects of the Firm Behavior: Did We Import COVID-19?

Abstract

Early COVID-19 presence and related deaths in Turkish cities can be explained by their international trade volume. Trade with China has a higher impact on the pandemic against the total international trade of cities. The ordering between imports, exports and total trade with China varies depending on the stage of the pandemic. As the China were sealed off by many countries, continuing international trade with the country has increasing impact on the case numbers. Key Words: COVID-19, City-level Data Analysis, International Trade. JEL Classification: C21, R15, F14, F68

Firma Davranışlarının Yan Etkilerini Ayrıştırmak: COVID-19'u İthal Ettik Mi?

Abstract

Türkiye'deki şehirlerde COVID-19 ve ilişkili ölümlerin erken dönemdeki varlığı uluslararası ticaret hacmi ile açıklanabilmektedir. Çin ile ticaret pandemi üzerinde şehirlerin toplam dış ticaretinden daha yüksek etkiye sahiptir. Çin ile thalat, ihracat ve toplam ticaret ilişkilerinin etkisi arasındaki sıralama pandeminin hangi aşamasında olunduğuna göre değişebilmektedir. Çin ilişkilerin pek çok ülke tarafından durdurulduğu dönemde ülke ile devam eden ticaretin vaka sayıları üzerinde etkisi artmaktadır. Anahtar Kelimeler: COVID-19, Şehir Bazlı Veri Analizi, Uluslararası Ticaret JEL Sınıflandırması: C21, R15, F14, F68
