Exports from the Visegrad Group to Latin America - Factors of attractiveness between 2001 and 2013

Lourdes Gabriela Daza Aramayo, Marek Vokoun

Tento článek se zaměřuje na identifikaci proměnných určujících atraktivitu vývozů ze zemí Visegrádské skupiny do Latinské Ameriky a Karibiku za využití metod hospodářských dějin a cliometrie. Sledovalo se 18 zemí od roku 2001 do roku 2013. Používá proměnné, které se tradičně neberou v úvahu, jako jsou institucionální a technologické faktory, které také ukazovaly na závažné, tradičně zvažované vysvětlující proměnné, jako je HDP, inflace, obyvatelstvo, podíl na HDP podle sektorů atd. Podle analýzy v této práci a podle dosažených výsledků je velmi zřejmé, že institucionální a technologické faktory, jako je kontrola korupce, použití patentů, stejně jako příliv přímých zahraničních investic na HDP, mají vliv na získávání obchodních toků. Tento výzkum bude rovněž v historické perspektivě od roku 2013 analyzovat hlavní trendy exportů ze zemí Visegrádské skupiny do Latinské Ameriky a Karibiku.

Keywords: instituce, mezinárodní obchod, hospodářské dějiny, Latinská Amerika a Karibik, Visegrádská skupina

This paper focuses on the identification of the variables determining the attractiveness of the exports from the Visegrad Group to Latin American and Caribbean countries using methods of economic history and cliometrics. There are a total of twenty-two countries represented over a period of ten years, from 2001 to 2013. It considers institutional and technological variables traditionally not taken into account, such as corruption control, patent applications and FDI inflow per GDP. As shown in the analysis and results presented in this paper, these factors not only point back to traditional variables such as GDP, inflation, population, the share of GDP by sector, etc. but also have an influence in attracting trade flows. This research will also analyze the main export trends from V4 to Latin America and Caribbean in a historical perspective between 2001 and 2013.
