چکیده
â â â â â â â â â â â â abstract: â as a result of recent developments, global economic centre of gravity has slide to asia-pacific region. it is predicted that asia-pacific countries will take place at the first row in global trade and nearly a half of the total trade will intensify in this region at the year 2030. on the other hand, the region covers countries from different levels of development. these features of the region promise umpteen trade opportunities for countries from other parts of world. particularly after import-substitution policies were abandoned in favor of trade integration measures since 1980s the share of foreign trade in gdp raised. recent years have witnessed a more remarkable increase in exports. in this regard, the government started to execute the âstrategy for developing commercial and economic relations with asia-pacific countriesâ in 2005. by this plan it was aimed to raise the market shares of turkish firms in asia-pacific countries, to enhance the potential of turkish defense industry, and to attract more investments from regionâs countries which have rich capital accumulation. thus, the issue of trade potential of turkey with asia-pacific countries gains importance. in this paper we attempt to estimate trade potential for turkey using the gravity model approach. to this end we use gravity model to first analyze the effective gravitational factors on trade flows and the coefficients thus obtained are then used to estimate the trade potential for turkey. the results of the fixed effect model reveal that the trade volume between turkey and asia-pacific countries is positively affected from economic size of the countries, while distance plays negative role on trade. the size of the countries with respect to population seems no meaningful effect. on the other hand, depending on the gravity model, our estimates of turkeyâs trade potential for asia-pacific countries reveal that the p. n. guinea, peru, myanmar, mexico, laos, brunei promise potential for expansion of trade. our estimates indicate that turkeyâs actual trade level with rest of the countries in the sample has exceeded her trade potential. â â â â â â â jel classification: c32, f15 â

Abstract T his paper explains bilateral trade patterns between South Korea and thirteen OPEC member countries over the period 1980-2014 using a gravity model. The estimation results show that the gravity equation fits the data reasonably well. We confirmed the existence of long term relationships between the bilateral trade flows and the main components of gravity model - ...
متن کاملEvidence from Asia-Pacific Countries
The traditional societies are realising the relevance of knowledge in everyday life, and due to which are getting converted into knowledge driven societies. Therefore, knowledge–driven societies are giving rise to knowledge–driven economies. This is a global phenomenon, hence nations that have less access to knowledge are less privileged whereas nations with better access to knowledge become pr...
متن کاملRelationship between Economic Growth, Urban Concentration and Trade: Evidence from the Asia-Pacific
There is a significant relationship between economic growth and the degree of urban concentration, as measured by primacy or the share of the largest city in an urban system. In accordance to urban economic theories, there is an inverse-U shape relationship between urban concentration âurban primacy- and economic growth. That is, as economy grows, urban concentration increases, approaches a...
