ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE BLACK SEA ECONOMIC COOPERATION ORGANIZATION (BSEC) MEMBER COUNTRIES FOR THE PERIOD OF 2001-2011
Öz
In recent times, the definition of development has undergone substantial changes which brought light to the concept of sustainable development. In this paper, development process and economic development of The Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) countries are tried to be evaluated by means of panel data analysis for the period of 2000-2011. The data set prepared for the panel data analysis includes the variables of GDP per capita (GDPPC), coverage ratio of revenue to expenditure (CRRE), coverage ratio of exports to imports (CREXIM), current account balance (CAB), inflation rate (INF) and unemployment rate (UNEMP) which are the main indicators reflecting the sustainable development of the BSEC countries which are Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Greece, Georgia, Moldova, Romania, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine. Depending on the results of this analysis, we can clearly state that response variable GDPPC is highly affected by CRRE, INF and UNEMP whereas CREXIM and CAB don’t influence GDPPC substantially for the BSEC member countries. As for the comparison of the countries, Albania, Greece and Turkey are the first three countries with respect to the economic development process while Georgia, Azerbaijan and Moldova are the last three countries in this respect.
