Ocena konkurencyjności eksportu serbskiego przemysłu tekstylnego i odzieżowego za pomocą wskaźnika RCA i wskaźników TPI

Języki publikacji

Abstrakty

Due to the paucity of relevant research, little is known about emerging patterns of competitiveness in the textile and apparel (T&A) industry in Balkan countries. Research focused on the Serbian T&A industry after 2006, when the country renewed its independence, is particularly sparse. The purpose of this research is to contribute to a greater understanding of emerging competitiveness and its main determinants in the Serbian T&A industry, in the time period between 2007 and 2019, and in the context of the EU-28 market. Balassa’s Revealed Comparative Advantage index and the Trade Performance Index instruments were used to assess export competitiveness, while the key competitiveness determinants were explored drawing on Porter’s (1990) theory of the Competitive Advantage of Nations. Findings confirmed that Serbia, a low-income country and not an EU member, retained a distinguished and strong T&A export potential, which confirms that the country is a competitive player in international trade.

Ze względu na brak odpowiednich badań niewiele wiadomo na temat pojawiających się wzorców konkurencyjności w przemyśle tekstylnym i odzieżowym (T&A) w krajach bałkańskich. Badania skoncentrowane na serbskiej branży RCP po 2006 r., kiedy kraj odzyskał niepodległość, są szczególnie skąpe. Celem badania było przyczynienie się do lepszego zrozumienia pojawiającej się konkurencyjności i jej głównych determinantów w serbskim przemyśle T&A w okresie 2007-2019 oraz w kontekście rynku UE-28. Do oceny konkurencyjności eksportu wykorzystano Revealed Comparative Advantage Index Balassy oraz Trade Performance Index, podczas gdy kluczowe determinanty konkurencyjności zostały zbadane w oparciu o teorię Portera (1990) dotyczącą przewagi konkurencyjnej narodów. Na podstawie wyników stwierdzono, że Serbia, kraj o niskich dochodach i niebędący członkiem UE, zachowała znaczący i silny potencjał eksportowy T&A, co potwierdza, że kraj ten jest konkurencyjnym graczem w handlu międzynarodowym.
