The Effect of Trade Costs on the Foreign Trade Size: A Comparative Study of High-Income Countries and Upper- Middle-Income Countries
Öz: In theories of microeconomics, exchange costs are not taken into account when discussing exchange benefits, and an implicit assumption is made that exchange costs are zero. On the other hand, in the traditional international economy, the cost of trade was not considered very carefully. However, in the modern economy, trade costs constitute a significant portion of global trade. This article examined the effect of trade costs on trade volume in two groups, high-income, and upper-middle-income countries, over the period of 2006-2015 using the Panel data analysis method. The results of the study show that transportation costs and the number of commercial documents have a negative effect on the trade volume in high-income countries. In high-income countries, trade costs lead to a decrease in trade volume, while in upper-middle-income coun- tries, transportation costs and the number of trade documents do not have a significant impact on trade volume.
Anahtar Kelime: Ticaret Maliyetlerinin Dış Ticaret Hacmine Etkisi: Yüksek ve Üst-Orta Gelirli Ülkeler Üzerine Bir Çalışma
Öz: Geleneksel dış ticaret teorisi uluslararası ticarette taşıma maliyetlerinin sıfır olduğunu iddia etse de gerçek yaşamda taşıma maliyetleri işlem maliyetlerinin önemli bir kısmını oluşturur. Bu çalışmada 2006–2015 döneminde yüksek gelirli ülkeler ve üst orta gelirli ülkeler olmak üzere iki grupta ticaret maliyetlerinin ticaret hacmi üzerindeki etkisini Panel veri analizi yöntemini kulla- narak incelenmektedir. Çalışmanın sonuçları, yüksek gelirli ülkelerde taşıma maliyetlerinin ve ticari belge sayısının ticaret hacmi üzerinde olumsuz etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Dolayısıyla sonuçlar, yüksek gelirli ülkelerde ticaret maliyetlerinin ticaret hacminde azalmaya yol açtığını, üst orta gelirli ülkelerde ise taşıma maliyetlerinin ve ticari belgesi sayısının ticaret hacmi üzerinde önemli bir etkisinin olmadığını göstermektedir.
