“…The lagged level of the agro-food export variable is statistically significant in the three cases for baseline models, implying that the level of the cEEc-12 agro-food export in the previous period does matter for the level of the cEEc-12 agro-food export to the EU-15 markets. This is also in line with the empirical findings by Funke and ruhwedel (2002) for the merchandise trade in the oEcD countries. As expected, the association pertaining to this variable is positive and significant.…”

“…According to the economic theory and the previous studies (Funke and ruhwedel 2002), increased gDP EU volume encourages foreign demand and therefore is expected to have a positive effect on the cEEc's agro-food exports. The association between the X it and the rEEr is expected to be negative, as the cEEc currency appreciation with the increase in the rEEr in the previous year is expected to reduce the demand for the cEEc's agro-food exports.…”

“…Their econometric results suggest that producing highly differentiated export goods gives a competitive advantage which allows for selling more products. in a companion paper, Funke and ruhwedel (2002) investigate the link between exports and export variety for 15 oEcD countries. They have empirically ascertained the hypothesis that improvements in the variety of exports are an explanation of the oEcD trade flows.…”

“…We analyse the agro-food exports of each cEEc-12 to the EU-15 market. The negative values for the product variety index indicate lower product variety in the cEEc i compared to the EU-15 market s. We start with our baseline equation for the level of agro-food export, which includes the traditional trade explanatory variables on a scale variable representing the foreign demand and the price competitiveness indicator measured by the effect of the real effective exchange rate appreciation or depreciation on one hand, and export product variety variable as the additional non-price export supply-side effects on the other (Funke and ruhwedel 2002). We specify the baseline equation for the level of agro-food export as:…”

This paper analyses the agro-food exports variety from twelve central and Eastern European countries (cEEcs) to the European Union (EU) during the years 1995-2007. The panel regression models explain the agro-food exports by its previous year, income in the importing EU countries, and measure of agro-food export product variety, while the real exchange rate appreciation of the cEEc currencies has negatively influenced agro-food exports. The EU enlargement with the reduction in agricultural protection and the borderless single market has induced agro-food export increases in primary agricultural produce and intermediate food-processed products, but less in higher value-added food-processed differentiated products. The impact of increased number of cEEcs agro-food product varieties on agro-food export to the EU is positive.

Several trade-based measures of product variety have recently been used implicitly to represent states of technology, promoting long-run growth. In this paper, we define the state of technology as the range of specialised production processes and propose the variety of capital goods available for production as a direct measure of technology. Within a simple growth framework, we derive a testable "conditional technological convergence" hypothesis on this measure. The hypothesis is tested with highly disaggregated trade data by economic categories, using tools from the income convergence literature. The results suggest that trade-based count measures of the variety of available capital goods indeed behave "as if" they were representing technology and that there is conditional technological convergence among our panel of mainly OECD and transition economies.
