Abstract

This paper presents an econometric analysis of the variables determining Israel's exports to its main trade partners. Our analysis employs a panel data estimation technique, allowing us to compare the impact of the different variables in different countries. The study utilises an advanced econometric method to analyse non-stationary in panel data and test for a cointegration relationship. The results reveal a unit elasticity of Israeli exports to a trade partner's total imports, an elasticity of exports to the real exchange rate of less than one; a significant impact of trade agreements; and a positive elasticity of exports to a corruption index variable. Moreover, we show that the magnitude of the impact of these variables may vary considerably between different trade partners.
