Abstract

This paper suggests an alternative way of measuring export instability, based on changes in the geographical structure of a country’s exports. Regression analyses indicate that there is a negative link between the level of export instability and the country’s share of world exports. On a bilateraltrade- flow level, a link between export instability and the share of individual trade flows in a country’s total exports weakens with the falling importance of examined trade flows. - Questo studio propone un metodo alternativo per la misurazione dell’instabilità dell’export basata sulle modifiche nella struttura geografica delle esportazioni di un dato paese. Le analisi di regressione indicano che c’è una relazione negativa tra il livello dell’instabilità delle esportazioni e la quota di export mondiale relativa al paese in esame. A livello di flussi commerciali bilaterali, il legame tra l’instabilità delle esportazioni e la quota individuale sul totale export di un paese si indebolisce con il diminuire dell’entità dei flussi considerati.
