EU accession and trade in the 21st century - A study of Croatian trade in goods and EU membership using the gravity model
(2020) NEKH03 20201Department of Economics
- Abstract (Swedish)
- This study examines the change of Croatia’s imports and exports of goods with EU member states during the time period of 2000-2018. This includes when it signed the Stabilisation and Association Agreement with the European Union and after it became an EU member. This is done to give insight into what future member states and current EU candidate countries could potentially expect from their accession to the EU as it relates to trade in goods. A gravity model is used to estimate how Croatia’s trade in goods with the EU member states changed during the accession process and after, as well as the signing of the SAA. This is estimated using pooled Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Fixed Effects (FE). The results indicate that there was an... (More)

they were trading through the SAA and when Croatia joined the EU. (Less)
