Categories of Foreign Trade: Definitions and Approaches to Statistical Estimation
Abstract
The article contains the author’s research on the theoretical and methodological aspects of measuring foreign trade and its role in integration processes. The author determines approaches to the statistical assessment of foreign trade and export potentials, and shows how statistical instruments for measuring certain foreign trade indicators consider both the specific features of the categories of foreign trade under review and quality and availability of statistical information on them. The article establishes classification principles of structuring methods for assessing the economic benefits from integration based on their grouping into non-econometric (different indices and equilibrium models) and econometric (gravity, regression models, dynamic interindustry models) methods. The significance of the operating period for integration systems in question is shown. The content of open source methodological materials related to defining fields of economy with the most significant integration potential is analyzed.
