“…Assessing the competitiveness of the agri-food industries in the context of global or regional competition, models following Ricardo and his theory suggest that the countries should focus on producing food products with comparative advantage. According to the Heckscher-Ohlin model, the trade specialization pattern is formed based on countries relative endowment in production factors (Nazarczuk et al, 2018). These findings are in line with current researches of productivity factors structure and effective usage (Bilan et al, 2020;Maris, 2019).…”

This paper uses ‘products mapping’ tool based on the trade balance index (TBI) and Lafay index to investigate trade performance and competitiveness in food items between South Africa (SA) and the EU28 and Africa. The data for this analysis is obtained from the UNCTAD database. SA’s agri-food trade balance climbed from $1.5 billion in 2005 to $3.1 billion in 2017. The results support the conclusion that in bilateral trade, certain products have comparative advantages in relation to African markets despite comparative disadvantages in relation to the EU28 market. Also, there is no or decreasing diversification towards more and new leading products despite the increased intra-regional openness. Leading products (especially fruit and nuts) are the dominant export generating segments in the product’s structure of SA’s agri-food trade. Also, leading products mostly contribute to the positive balance of SA’s agri-food trade. The findings of this study may contribute to business strategies, trade policies, and regional and inter-regional integration.

“…Previous research in this area has shown that Polish exports are highly dynamic, but small shifts can be observed towards an increase in the importance of sales of more advanced and more sophisticated goods (Czarny and Folfas, 2020;Nazarczuk, Umiński and Gawlikowska-Hueckel, 2018;OECD, 2020;Radło, 2011;Szczepaniak, 2018). Therefore, we hypothesize that, in the period under review, Polish exports exhibited high dynamics, but they were accompanied by rather moderate structural changes.…”

The aim of the article is to present the possibilities that qualitative classifications of industries and goods introduce to the analysis of structural changes in the economy, as well as to assess changes in the international competitiveness of Polish merchandise trade in the long term. The article presents a review of the literature and the results of authors’ own research on the structure of Polish merchandise trade. The study uses Lall’s classification of goods which is relatively innovative and rarely used in the existing literature. By using this classification and the analysis of revealed comparative advantages (RCA) we also managed to assess the competitiveness of Polish exports. The research shows that since Poland’s accession to the European Union, the international competitiveness of Polish trade in terms of its technological level has changed only slightly. After the growth in the first years of Poland’s EU membership, the share of high technology products in the export structure stagnated in the 2010s and was still lower than that of medium or low technology products. Throughout the researched period, the RCA for high-tech products remained on the “foreign” side.

“…According to international trade theories, a specialization enables to concentrate on what the country can do best, meaning that the available resources are utilized most profitably (Nazarczuk et al 2018). The Heckscher-Ohlin trade theory claims that countries may have comparative advantages in producing the goods that use their abundant factors more intensively.…”

Effects of Foreign Trade on the Economic Performance of Industries—Evidence from Wood Processing Industry of Czechia and Slovakia

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

As was first stressed by the classical economists Adam Smith and David Ricardo, international trade plays a crucial role in the growth process. The paper aims to analyze the influence of foreign trade on economic performance in the wood processing industry (WPI) of Czechia and Slovakia. The multivariate regression method (MLR), assumption tests for MLR models, and Granger causality test were applied to identify association between foreign trade economic performance, and indicators were formed to measure the effects of foreign trade at the industry level. The Granger test revealed the unidirectional causality in the Slovak WPI and bidirectional causality in the Czech WPI. The results revealed that the net export growth has a positive effect on the economic performance of the industry, but only if the growth in imports is lower than in exports. The balanced trade balance indicated no influence of foreign trade on economic performance. The paper contributes to existing knowledge with indicators for evaluation of foreign trade effects on the performance of the industry. The paper also brings new empirical knowledge in trade balance effects on the economic performance of industries.
