Export Product Diversity and Economic Growth: Panel Data Analyses on Transition Economies2 2

This study aims to explore export diversity and economic growth relations in transition economies. For this purpose, Westerlund co-integration tests, Pesaran CCE tests and Emmahmuto & gbreve;lu-- K & ouml;se causality tests were used, considering the years 1995-2020. In addition, transition economies were divided into groups in the study, and empirical results were examined separately on both country groups and a country basis. While the findings have been identified in the transition economies of the European Union, a one-way causality relationship has been determined in exports from product diversity to economic growth; there has been no significant relationship between variables in other transition economies.
