The Textile Industry Trade Competitiveness of Selected European Transition Countries

“…Textile industry trade competitiveness is a contemporary research issue in various foreign (Rout & Saini, 2021;Dhiman et al, 2020;Kiron, 2020;Bambang & Sukadwilinda, 2020;Guan et al, 2019;Kathuria, 2018;Assadzadeh et al, 2013;Singh & Lal, 2013;Chi, 2010;Shafaei, 2009;Kilduff & Chi, 2007, etc. ) and domestic (Gligorijevic & Corovic, 2020;Corovic, Gligorijevic & Manasijevic, 2019;Corovic, Jovanovic & Ristic, 2013;Halilbasic, Brkic & Bosic, 2015;Raicevic & Corovic, 2010) papers, in which a similar methodological approach has been applied.…”

“…Authors Rout, Gordhan and Saini (2021) conducted a study of "the trade competitiveness of India's man-made fiber-based textile and apparel sec-tor for the period 2010-2019" by using the Index of Revealed Comparative Advantage, Trade Intensity Index, and Export Similarity Index. Bambang and Sukadwilinda (2020) did an "Analysis of Export Competitiveness Textile and Apparel Indonesia, China, India" using the Herfindahl approach, Trade Specialisation, Releveled Comparative Advantage and Constant Market Share. Guan et al (2019) researched "International competitiveness of Chinese textile and clothing industry" using the 'Diamond Model', in which trade competitiveness revealed comparative advantage, and international competitiveness' impact on market share is observed through the estimated coefficients of explanatory variables: raw materials, labour, capital, demand, related industries, strategies and policies.…”
