Structural Changes in Agrarian Trade Specialization Patterns of the Czech Republic with member states of the European Union

Original language description

The aim of the paper is to evaluate changes in agrarian trade specialization patterns of the Czech Republic with member states of the European Union in the last 5 years (period 2013 and 2017). Since Czech Republic became member state of European Union, its agri-food trade changed significantly. The process of restructuring is still ongoing (mainly in relation to traditional trade partners), but it seems that this structure isgradually approaching its final form. In this article the agri-food trade of the Czech Republic with other European Union member states using SITC 3-digit data is analysed. Balassa&apos;s (BI) and Lafay&apos;s (LI) indices were calculated to analyse the revealed comparative advantage score amongst the different product groups in the Czech/EU28 agrarian trade relationships. Following this analyses, the Galtonian regression was calculated and implemented as a quantitative technique to assess changes in trade speciali-zation patterns. The results suggest that trade specialization patterns are stable with regard to product groups with re-vealed comparative advantage or disadvantage. Results also suggest that there is a process of (weak) divergence in the trade specialization pattern, meaning the pattern of trade specialization is considered to be strengthened because in-dustries with initial comparative advantage became more pronounced, while those with initial comparative disadvantages became more subdued.
